There are a couple interesting trends with the Chiefs offense...



First thing is, it really looks like RoJo is firmly on the outside looking in. I'm not seeing anything to suggest he gets a roster spot.

The weirder one is WR Justin Watson. He's a 5th year re-tread that started his career in Tampa. That's a deep room where it's hard to get looks, but I'd expect talent to still find a way, and he didn't when he was there.

There were rumors this guy was making noise as early as June, and even national guys like Schrager were in on him. I think Watson was also with the group of Chiefs that went to Texas to work out with Mahomes during the summer.

In last week's game, Watson was pretty much a featured player after the first possession, and he looked pretty good in a variety of situations. This week, two days in at camp, he's been running with the 1s both days. After the game, I felt it was a safe assumption he's WR5, but I'm starting to wonder if he's not higher on the depth chart, and if so, who he's ahead of.

The same person arguing with over half a dozen different people (mostly regulars) among 4+ different fanbases about the same topic at the same time is a lot for this thread.  I can only recall seeing it maybe two other times.

Come to think of it, in all those times the one person arguing with everyone else has always been you.  Just a coincidence I'm sure.

I’m not going to argue the whole thing again. I laid out my case to my satisfaction.The fact that 4+ people disagree with me about a particular topic is not sufficient to change my mind. And none of it has to do with my original point, which is that Jimmy is hard to trade as of today.

Seems odd that Greg Gumbel is the 4th team.  I think he's pretty good and he's more of an old school PBP guy.  Why isn't he considered more like Joe Buck/Al Michaels?  Maybe age and he doesn't want to be the #1 guy?

A good example of why you shouldn’t draft based on talent alone.  He was a genetic freak.  He was pushing 300 pounds and yet was capable of moving like a LB that weighed 50 pounds less.  However, he also was prone to taking plays off, had attitude problems, etc.  The red flags where there, but most of the “experts” (and the Cardinals) choose to ignore them because of how talented he was.

The Greatest and Most Pointless Streak in Sports: 21 Straight NFL Preseason Wins
The Baltimore Ravens have won 21 straight exhibition games, dating all the way back to 2016 even as the preseason seems to mean less and less.

The 1972 Miami Dolphins, the 1970s Pittsburgh Steelers and the 21st-century New England Patriots have all gone on runs that will live on forever in the annals of NFL history. The present-day Baltimore Ravens have gone on a run that's perhaps even more improbable.

It's also meaningless.

I typically am with you, let the justice system handle it, but in this case I can understand the league getting involved.

This isn't a DUI or a one off event between a player and a single person, its way more serious. If nothing else the league punishment is "Hey stupid, don't put yourself in this position because even if you get away with it legally (or even the unlikely scenario of being completely innocent) you're poor decisions of seeking out insta-thot masseuses looks bad for all of us." And realistically it's their league so they can decide what's fitting, just like any other employer would.

Imagine being even a little bit familiar with the NFL and thinking joint practices/camps are a good idea…


I forget who was on McAfee the other day, but it was somebody who would know, and I guess from the coaches perspective that joint practices are more useful to them than the preseason games. For everybody else it sounds terrible.

This is usually the baseline I used for my judgement on whether there should be repercussions in the NFL. Would the action, if performed by a normal 9 to 5er in some random company, have any repercussions?

If I got busted driving drunk in real life, would I have problems at my job? Depends on the job, for some no, for others yes. Since there's a yes, I have no issue with the NFL issuing disciplinary action for DUIs.

Do people get in trouble at work for smoking marijuana on their own personal time? Once again it depends on the job and location. For some no, for others yes. Since there's a yes, I have no issue with the NFL issuing disciplinary action (even if I personally think it is dumb and hypocritical).

In this instance, would I get in trouble at work if I was very publicly accused of sexually assaulting two dozen women? Hard yes. I would be out of a job that day. So again, no issue with the NFL issuing disciplinary action.

Last year the Bills wasted a roster spot on him because it would have cost money to cut his guaranteed contract.
He spent many games as a healthy inactive.

There's no way the Vikings, Saints, Patriots, Eagles, Titans, or Raiders fans are actually confident that this could be their team's year. Just... no.

The teams in that top row should have legitimate expectations of making a deep playoff run. The teams in the second row have real potential to make noise. After that? Eh...
