I'm shocked neither of the Patriots or Chiefs have had additional positives. That's really good news.

Pakuni

The Houston Texans have fired their head coach, offensive coordinator and GM, all at once.

The Sultan

He was a decent coach but a terrible, terrible GM.  Really has set that franchise back.

I'd say it's a good gig since you have the QB in place but their draft board next year is grim.

Yup, just a good WR away from having a nice offense.

Wow. Several Scoopers would be better NFL GMs than him. And I'm not joking.

Well, they did just lose to the Vikings. Seems like an appropriate response.

How bad has AJ Dillon been in practice that they refuse to use him on goal line runs?

The play was poorly blocked not matter who the RB was.

Nice timeout Dan Quinn

Goodness gracious that was awful. That's a McCarthy special.

What a quiet disaster of an organization too. He just got the GM hat last year! Literally everyone agrees that his personnel decisions have been a series of complete disasters, but lord, have a sense of organizational direction. Whatever the fever dream that leads an owner to put all that faith in him shouldn't evaporate after four games.

Who would you rather have, Kittle, Kelce, or Tonyan?

Also, how many rings do the Packers have if they have LeFleur instead of Big Mac for Rodgers's entire career?

Sort of reminds me of when the Packers didn't want Holmgren to be GM and head coach so he walked.  Then after a year of Ray Rhodes and one year of Mike Sherman the team was like... you know what, let's let Mike Sherman be GM and head coach.

Like... what the hell.

We are seeing so many plays that McCarthy could never even dream of running.

Yep, the last couple years, offense was unbelievably stale under him. 

Impressive they're rolling this way even without Adams too. Fun to watch.

That decision was on one guy, Ron Wolf. Wolf was undeniably great for the organization, but what a 💩 to finish a great career.  And Harlan, really didn't want to sign off on Sherman having both jobs, but he had such trust in Wolf.

They've been fun to watch, but realistically their competition so far have been collectively awful.
If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.

Wait, is this a joke? I have been waiting for this post. 17-3 in regular season games 18-4 overall is not because of poor competition. They still have to win those games.

I'm pretty sure he means just this year.

Anyway, we will know after the break more about the Pack.  @Tampa, @Houston, v. Minnesota, @San Francisco.

BTW, after not really watching much of the Falcons over the last couple of years, I've now seen them in back to back weeks.  Two thoughts:

1. They should have fired Quinn after last year.  Not sure what hanging onto him has done.

2.  Matt Ryan is still good, but his arm looks like it's lost a lot.

I know, but that same weak argument was made all of last year. At what point do you say, Yeah they are a good team, without making excuses.  BTW Packers margin of victory highest in the NFL. So its not only that they are winning, but how they are winning and the improvement in Rodgers and the offense.
