Wow, Mahomes sure is fun to watch. Damn good, too.

Yeah...even as a Broncos fan, I have to agree. He’s really good.

Silly "quarter of the season" awards article: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000969104/article/debrief-week-4-handing-out-2018-nfl-firstquarter-awards

But it does have some stuff that might be of interest to NFC North fans, namely Mack being the "best last-minute addition" and those Viking-slaying monsters of Buffalo being the NFL's "least watchable team."

3 huge mistakes in less than 5 minutes.

And, above all, make sure your best RB is on the bench.

Wades may be right.

Having to start two rookie WRs and two rookie CBs is a true testament to what Ted Thompson did to this team.

Refusing to spend money in free agency is.

Pack coming out ready to play once again. That’s on a coach.

You have play designs where 2 tight ends are running identical routes at identical times about 3 feet apart so Graham tries making a reaching play on a ball intended for Kendricks. Then you have Davante crossing right into Montgomery, taking them both to the ground on the Rodgers fumble play. TB12 is right, Rodgers could throw for 7K yards/year if he had Bellichick coaching him. The talent on the Patriots is rarely significantly better than that of the Packers. Yet...

Also, knowing you’re down 2 WRs including your slot guy, how is Montgomery not getting snaps in the slot?

Wow. Terrible performance so far. Need to keep it at 17 before half.

Never fails. 3rd and very manageable and there goes Mac giving the opponent a free time out. Classic.

So about this idea of “simplifying the offense.”  That’s been a disaster.

Using 30+ seconds between every play down by 3 scores.

And again ball snapped with 2 seconds on clock.

I feel sorry for all y'all with crapty kickers.

My boyz tried real hard to blow the game, but Graham Gano made 4 FGs, including the winner from 63 yards with 1 second left, the longest winning kick ever.

Gano's kick would have been good from 70. Amazing leg. Two of his other makes were from "only" 49 yards - in other words, chip shots.

He's not just the strongest leg in the league, either. He has missed only one FG since the beginning of last season, and hasn't missed at home since 2016.

It's nice to know that on a day like Sunday - when my Panthers tried very hard to mess up royally against an inferior Giants team - we have a kicker who can save the day.

I know he'll eventually miss one, maybe even a really important one. MJ missed lots of potential game-winning jumpers, too. But I'll take Gano over anybody; he has earned every dollar he gets.

It will be so cool to be able to tell everyone you saw him develop at UCLA from the perch of Michael Dukakis' nephew's box seats!

Never thought it possible.  But at least according to QB Rtg, and interception rate, Trubiskey is out performing Brady at the moment.

Had to vent here.

Monday Night Football announcers are just awful, after 5 weeks, just turned off sound.  I thought Witten was the analyst, but Booger McFarland is a non stop voice machine.  It's like he and Witten are in a contest as to who can speak more and say the same thing over and over.  There is not a second of silence, just non stop talk.

Is it just me or anyone else feel same?

I can take anything seriously that comes from someone who willingly calls himself Booger.

So the refs flagged the Saints for excessive celebration on the TD pass where Breese set the yardage record?

Nothing is more representative of the league’s tone-deafness than that.
