That's a dead link there my friend.
If I said Brady looked like he was maybe taking a step down if not in decisions, but in throws, I was proven wrong this week. He looked as MVP sharp as ever before.
That KC-Atlanta game was indeed a wild finish. Having said that, the Chiefs were almost dominating the game for three quarters. Their offense was beating the Falcons in almost every respect, and holding the Falcons high powered offense in check.
Losing Earl Thomas for likely the season, and post-season, will hurt. But Seattle can still beat any team on any given day. Sorry Chewy, but your team was pulverized in every regard last night by a superior team. I have to wonder if Thomas even should have been playing? Would one more week of rest have allowed him to heal more and be healthy the rest of the season?
Props to the Lions who now, actually do look like the best team in the NFC North. And they did it on both sides of the ball. Though at times. Aaron Rodgers and the Pack did look impressive in the snow.
Where has this Ravens/Bengals/Cardinals team been all year? All three posted impressive wins against good teams.
Nice win for the Steelers over the Giants to go 7-5. And a nice win for Tampa to do the same, and move into a tie with Atlanta.
The Raiders again show prowess late in the game, mostly on offense, but again Kalil Mack looks like DPOY with his big plays. Oakland makes me wonder if they are close against any team in the NFL in the 4th quarter, they will win. They're OL will overpower other lines, Carr can complete clutch passes, and even their defense seems to adapt.
Finally, the toilet of the league, the SF 49ers. Kaep had one good run, but couldn't throw the ball at all, like, literally. He would drop back, hesitate, and either get sacked, try to run, or throw an incomplete pass. He was 1-4, completing just one single short pass. He was then was benched for Gabbert, who played....almost as bad. The 49ers had 6 net yards passing all day. SIX! The entire 49 team is just deplorable. Worse than just bad play, they seemed to me like they've many times quit. I watch some of the Cleveland games too, and they don't have the players to even been good now, but they don't seem to give up like the Niners do.
Props to Matt Barkley, who despite playing in the same snowy conditions, and often facing pressure himself, again played well, with some nice throws down the field on target. Playing against the 49ers isn't saying much, but I again start to wonder if this is the Barkley people thought they'd one day see in the NFL?
