You ain't heard nuthin! I lived in the greater NY area for years. Non stop talk, with the strongest opinions of people who are certain they are right!

You are right though if the KC line can't keep the Broncos pass rush off Mahomes, it will be a long day for him. Hence a 13-9 KC win is possible.

As to Mac Jones, he hasn't played well enough in the last two weeks to supplant Purdy. He's filled in admirably, redeemed himself (though not to the level of Darnold, I don't think), but Purdy will play as soon as he's truly ready.

No one surprised Fox fired Sanchez. I'm only mildly surprised the are putting Brees in the booth, when they had Brady Quinn the last two weeks, and he did well, and has done quite a few NFL games in the past (though mostly an NCAA guy). Curious to hear how Brees does.

If I were Seattle I'd be a bit concerned about Arizona as well. They have been at least good all season, and they seem to have really rallied behind Brissett. Now that he's been given the keys to the car, they are going to be a tough out for anyone, including Seattle.

The Cardinals have looked better with Brissett. Yes Darnold had a better season for the Vikings but he was also throwing to two elite WR's not WR 3's and 4's.. I'm expecting two wild divisional match ups in the NFC West this week. The Bills can beat the Chiefs any time in the regular season it seems. Just have to get it done in the playoffs. Brees was a bit bland last time he was on TV but no worse than Brady.

Athletes are just built different. I wouldn’t be able to use my arm for weeks if that happened to me.

Jayden Daniels (elbow) won't need surgery, not expected to land on IR; Commanders to re-evaluate after bye

Still it's a bad year for him performance wise, injury wise, etc. The "Wow" QB from last year that basically single-handedly turn the team around has completely gone the other direction this year. Unbelievable would be the word to describe it.

The QB that seems to have emerged as the gem of that draft class is Drake Maye. He is absolutely on fire: Over 2200 yds passing, 74% completion pct, 4th in TD passes thrown, 116 passer rating, 5th highest QBR rating, 270 yds rushing - and the team is winning tied with other teams for the best record currently. His name is brought up in every MVP conversation.

The other starters from last season, Nix & Williams, aren't performing anywhere near Maye. Nix has regressed significantly from his numbers that he posted last season & Williams isn't coming anywhere close to the expectations that Johnson set for him at the beginning of the season.
