Spring in Fialta
A malign star kept him
The Ravens have kept trucking but they're also ravaged by injuries. We'll see what they look like in January.

What an absolutely horrible take lol.
Love is at least a decent starter, maybe not a franchise QB but he has had a pretty solid season. Oh ya and what is he working with at offensive positions? Romeo Doubs, rookie TE, rookie TE, rookie WR, corpse of AJ Dillon at RB, one hamstring Christian Watson.
Have you watched any NFL games this season? We got f***in Easton Stick, Aidan O'Connel, DTR, Flacco, PJ Walker, Bailey Zappe, Mac Jones, Zach Wilson, Tim Boyle etc. etc. starting games. Love is miles better than any of those guys (maybe not Flacco I guess lol).

Burrow injury is part of the problem but the afc as overall has been a complete letdown
Too many injuries on key players
Basically all of the top teams have major weaknesses on their roster (worse than expected)
Chiefs, offense/Wr’s, basically been carried by their defense
Dolphins, mentally weak, zero impressive wins against contenders/top tier teams
Buffalo, again too many injuries on defense+ costly mistakes keep happening
Jaguars, Vikings like pretenders, just haven’t looked dominating at any point of the season
Jets, offensive line even if Rodgers was healthy
Browns, injuries.
None of them are legit Super Bowl caliber teams but likely one of them will end up there
The most dominant teams have been SF& Dallas. AFC doesnt have a single team looking realistically as promising.
Ravens at their best can be there but you want more consistency of elite play

This actually looks like the kind of year where a mediocre team like Denver strings together a couple of wins and reach the SB only to get boat raced to oblivion by San Fran.

They always seem to have lot of injuries but I’m not convinced their offense is up to the challenge
Love has been ok. Enough to warrant being GB's starter next season. But, I don't think he's been good enough to warrant another contract this off-season. Packers likely just play out the contract and if needed, tag him at $33 mill or whatever if he performs well next season.
Needs to take another step next season. Have to be better in crucial situations. When the opportunity for a big play presents itself, have to hit it. Needs to speed up the deliver if he doesn't have quite the arm strength to get the ball out in front of the WR, allowing the DB to make a play on it like in the LV and NYG (2nd last possession where Banks knocked it away).
He needs to stop outsmarting himself (tbf at this point you could argue that's a league wide issue given some of the dumb shit we saw this week) but anyone asking for his firing straight up are idiots.
Finished 9-8 last year because he lost his starting QB which is generally a death blow (unless you find the next jesus AKA Jake Browning somehow) and had them playing well enough where they nearly stole a game from the Bills in Buffalo in the playoffs. This year he got them to 9 wins in the earliest i can ever remember, has built what is a clearly great locker room environment vibe and despite his brainfarts, appears to be a great coach.
This organization gave mediocre schlubs like Wannstedt and Philbin 4 seasons to be painfully mid, they can give Nerd more time.

Mahomes regrets outburst, interaction with Allen
Patrick Mahomes said Monday that he regrets his sideline outburst at the officials Sunday and his postgame interaction with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
"On Monday, however, Mahomes acknowledged that the call was correct.
"Obviously I've seen it now, and if he didn't check and they weren't good, it is a foul. It is something you rarely see called in the NFL. But it was a foul; it's part of playing the game, man. You learn from it, it's part of being a person, you learn from your mistakes and try to be better next time," he said."
lol he backtracked

His initial reaction was in the heat of the moment. Yeah, he embarrassed himself a bit, but you can't blame him for being upset. He watched it back & realized it was a legitimate penalty. I like that he has/had that fire & emotion a good leader should have.Mahomes regrets outburst, interaction with Allen

Just look at the AFC, 3/4 OF the teams are playing backup QBs

Yeah I find it bizarre when people laugh at someone backtracking or admitting they were wrong.
'After more time and seeing the footage it was a foul and I was wrong.' Somehow people think this is a bad thing to admit when really it is the mature thing to do. He was caught up in the moment and emotional.

Him blasting off to Josh Allen was low budget, no excuse.. shake the man's hand and tell him good game.
Everyone gets f***ed once in a while but not Patty or Travis because they are HOF players and a good play should stand ,penalty or not.

I mean I think basically everyone agrees with that, he made a mistake going off like he did. My point is that if you own up to your mistake you shouldn't be mocked. Mahomes has been pretty damn classy his entire career, if I was him I would have thrown my entire WR corps under the bus a long damn time ago.

I'd be willing to bet Mahomes blowing his top at the refs was more just general frustration boiling over and they ate it since he can't murder Kadarius Toney on national TV.
He gets the benefit of the doubt. First time he's ever done anything like that and it's been a rough year relative to the Chiefs level of excellence.

Exactly what I was thinking. He understandably couldn't contain his frustration during the game, and the team needed a narrative so it didn't look like he was exploding at his own teammate. Who, frankly, should've been cut by now. The costs of Toney's mistakes have far outweighed anything he's provided to the team.

If game is in Kansas City I disagree
I don't think a jury would convict him even with video evidence.
Maybe the Travis Kelce retirement is actually going to happen sooner rather than later. He’s 2 years younger than Jason but he’s more dependent on pure athleticism while Jason more strength and short distance quickness. After seeing the documentary from Jason it must be weighing on both brothers minds now. That’s why they started their podcast and Jason did nfl media seminar this off season. Travis doing SNL.
Maybe Pat and Travis have spoken about it.
