I'll say this.  The window for Mahomes and the Chiefs is now closed until the GM does some internal fixes.

I won't disagree with you there.  So what is your point then on Mahomes contract?

No team with a franchise QB - one that has won a Super Bowl and an MVP - doesn't sign and/or extend and/or take up the largest portion of their salaries. How is this even a conversation? The team doesn't suffer. The team benefits from having a top-3/5 QB, which is rightly paid as such as it's the most important position in the game. They already benefitted by getting a "discount" by winning a SB, and going to an additional SB, while on his rookie deal. Seriously, what are we even talking about here?

The team is doing great now aren't they?

Of course you sign your QB long term.  It's your plan after that really matters.

What we are talking about that none of you see is the part of the GM that screwed up.  You can have the greatest QB in the world but without the pieces around him that means squat.  That is exactly what is happening now.

I also mentioned that the SB's were on his rookie deal and now that he is paid unless management  is smarter w their money the team is going nowhere.

Highlighted it for you.

EDIT: It was at 735 this morning...

What would you have done if you were the GM and Mahomes contract needed to be extended then?

Mahomes needed to get paid.  I agree.  What screwed the team was how the GM used the rest of the cap.  That was my problem.

You can't keep everybody but certain pieces they did hold and didn't spend wisely on the rest.  The O-line isn't panning out and the defense is anemic.

It's a shame too.  I was very much enjoying the numbers Mahomes was putting up.

Damn, Derrick Henry done for the season

That really sucks. He's such a throwback. Love watching him play. 

The AFC is so weird this year. Still wide open...

Man, the Chief kind of stink right now huh?

Still wouldn't be surprised to see them in the AFC Championship game...

Is there a dominate team in the AFC now? I don't even know who has the best record.... If I were to guess I would say Buffalo though???

The Bills are the best team right now but I think it's wide open.

Henry Ruggs III of the Raiders charged with DUI resulting in death after accident late last night in Vegas.  Never understand why these athletes don't get drivers when out partying.  Just utter stupidity.  And someone is dead because of it.  Such a shame this still happens.

Rogers has tested positive for Covid he’s out of the chiefs game.  Just got a little easier for the chiefs..

Yeah just a little easier. lol

I don't think we know for sure if he is or isn't. If he is and is showing symptoms, that would still make him miss the game because he'd need to have two negative tests 48 hours after the symptoms go away or something. 

How's he a creep though? I've always liked him. 

I think Rodgers is so annoying. An attention whore that thinks he's funny and clever, but he's not. Yet, some people dig him. To each their own I suppose.

Where I had enough of him was last year when Drew Brees was being slammed by the twitter mob for "not agreeing with people that kneel for the anthem." Later that same day, Rodgers posted a picture of himself and teammates locking arms before a game, and wrote the following beneath it. I copied and pasted it from his Instagram....



"A few years ago we were criticized for locking arms in solidarity before the game. It has NEVER been about an anthem or a flag. Not then. Not now. Listen with an open heart, let’s educate ourselves, and then turn word and thought into action. #wakeupamerica #itstimeforchange
#loveoverfear❤️ #solidarity
#libertyandjusticeforall #all"


Translation: Look at me! EVERYONE, LOOK AT ME! You're all upset with Drew Brees right now. BUT LOOK AT ME!!!!!!! 

Again, an attention whore.

He was going 156mph when he crashed into the other car.  How unbelievably stupid.  This dude is going to prison for a long time.  

For the rest of his life probably. His blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit. And going 156mph is one of the most insane things I've ever heard.
