Okay, good luck! Hope the Giants somehow, some way win this one, but if they don't, I hope that you win.
As my brother just texted me - normally we watch KC and wonder how anyone stops them. Watching tonight and wondering how they ever get first downs.

I don't know how Sorensen still has a job in the NFL, he's beyond terrible.
That was a triple whammy. Interfered in order to get the pick, missed the pick, and still gave up the catch.

Edit: to be clear despite the bet I am firmly rooting for the Giants to win. Fuck KC forever.

The Peyton & Eli broadcast is designed (I think) to appeal to hard-core fans, but my wife is enjoying Stewart and Strahan much more than she enjoys your typical broadcast.

Feels like maybe they shouldn’t have done the Manningcast this week. Openly rooting for the Giants. But maybe that makes it more fun?

Kind of a weak call. I know that they're erring on the side of calling things though when it comes to the QB.

Mahomes lucky that long ball wasn’t picked.

Ok, seriously, what the hell is wrong with Mahomes? He looks terrible out there.

Delay of game costs them a shot at the end zone. Probably doesn’t matter, but damn that’s sloppy.

The Giants drive before the half doesn't look so bad now.

BTW, was there any official explanation for not flagging the guy yesterday who drilled Sam Darnold with his helmet?

Running theme for KC offense, to me, is the massive falloff in skill position quality after Hill and Kelce. Pringle, Robinson, Williams, Bell….these guys are JAGs.

Not gonna cut it.

What is actually happening right now? Of course I need a whopping additional five points from Hill/Butker and I’m not going to get it because somehow Mahomes and KC are horrible now.

both these teams are awful. i can't believe how quickly the chiefs have fallen.
