Edelman comp for Skyy Moore

Collinsworth in rare form tonight

 

[Remagellan]

The only thing Lions’ fans feel entitled to is having a second-favorite team to root for when the Lions’ season is finished by Halloween.

Of course they are excited that their team is a division favorite for the first time since they had Billy Sims.

No love for the Silver Stretch offense of the early to mid-90s?

mahomes didn't get there

Gibbs got’em 45-3 but now they got their own Gibbs Racing Team

 

[tims4wins]

When is someone going to actually deck him along the sideline??

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Chiefs slow out of the gates with an extremely random assortment of pass-catchers.

Mo Lewis ain’t walking thru that door

Can’t win that challenge. That aside, what are the odds the ref correctly placed the ball crossing the boundary at the exact first down spot?

 

[mauf]

No love for the Silver Stretch offense of the early to mid-90s?

They won their division in 1991 and 1993, but both titles were unexpected. I don’t remember them being a preseason favorite for anything, and I’m a lifelong football fan who’s pushing 50.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

He didn't do that goofy stick the ball out maneuver for once.

 

[kartvelo]

mahomes didn't get there

ok maybe he did

 

[Remagellan]

Gibbs got’em 45-3 but now they got their own Gibbs Racing Team

That's some nice work.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

When is someone going to actually deck him along the sideline??

After last year's AFCCG? Never

 

[tims4wins]

I disagree with those who say Mahomes won’t miss Reid when he retires. He’s an offensive genius.

Edit bad take

 

[tims4wins]

Fucking HIT HIM

 

[luckiestman]

Get a spy

 

[Justthetippett]

Those scrambles are such back breakers

 

[McBride11]

53 got grabbed and tossed to the ground

I think Andy gets carried out of this job.

Mahomes is the slowest great running QB in history.

 

[rodderick]

Mahomes is a ridiculously good scrambler. It's insane how much value that adds to his game. Just consistently gets out of jams.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Are there some random plastic things all over the field?

 

[patinorange]

42 -7 KC

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Mahomes is just so fucking good. Damnit.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The KC ballwashing is overwhelming.

 

[Remagellan]

Nice answer.

 

[gammoseditor]

Is it me or did the 2nd and goal play have two forward passes?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Detroit blew that coverage

 

[tims4wins]

Mahomes is just so fucking good. Damnit.

And it’s all off script

 

[Remagellan]

The KC ballwashing is overwhelming.

We got a lot of it for years, so learn to cope.

 

[BaseballJones]

Is it me or did the 2nd and goal play have two forward passes?

No. The first exchange was a handoff to Mahomes.

 

[mauf]

Mahomes is a ridiculously good scrambler. It's insane how much value that adds to his game. Just consistently gets out of jams.

He looks like he’s playing a different, slower-paced sport than everyone else. It’s remarkable.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I kind of miss Frank Clark and Tyreek Hill being on the Chiefs.

 

[Justthetippett]

Is it me or did the 2nd and goal play have two forward passes?

Thought the same thing. Whatever that was to Mahomes was close.

 

[luckiestman]

He looks like he’s playing a different, slower-paced sport than everyone else. It’s remarkable.

KC Jokic

 

[gammoseditor]

No. The first exchange was a handoff to Mahomes.

Borderline. Mahomes cut in front of McKinnon. You can’t keep handing the ball off forward.

 

[BaseballJones]

Borderline. Mahomes cut in front of McKinnon. You can’t keep handing the ball off forward.

I don't know what the rule is on that, but it wasn't a forward pass.

 

[luckiestman]

I don't know what the rule is on that, but it wasn't a forward pass.

One quarter into the season to get into Theory of Forms; 1. I really missed the NFL. 2. Let’s not peak too early as posters

I like this reference, I like it

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Read-option handoffs in front of the QB are now illegal. That wasn't the case here.

 

[rodderick]

Goff's arm is looking really good tonight, better than what I recall seeing from him.

 

[luckiestman]

2 offensive masterminds at work here tonight

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Will high-T Campbell spend all season running Montgomery into the line on early downs?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Goff's arm is looking really good tonight, better than what I recall seeing from him.

When he’s feeling comfortable he lives off those PA digs

 

[rodderick]

When he’s feeling comfortable he lives off those PA digs

Yeah, I actually like him as a point guard type QB, just liking the way the ball is coming out of hands more than usual.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

It's early, but I won't be disappointed if I have to watch a Lions game. They are fun.

Spoke too soon

 

[Remagellan]

TINY HANDS! (jk)

 

[McBride11]

What was that TE doing

 

[cshea]

They are still the Lions

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
