Who's complaining about the win?

All I said is I agree with Buff19 that Taylor wasn't "really good" he was ok. As usual

- sbroads24



He was better than average and he did everything people complained about what he didn't do last year...

But hey you do you.

kc might be another team that he could thrive on...

although, before I jump on the superbowl-bound chiefs bandwagon, i'd prefer to see a couple of games and i'll be looking to see how they do after a stinker

- Michael Pachla



Agreed. Who knew Alex Smith had that in him. I guess you just have to let your QB off his leash and let him play.

To do that to New England, in New England on opening night, while they raised their banner is impressive.

He managed the game. He was fine.

Jesus Christ, we led 7-6 at half against a team trying to be the worst in the NFL.

I feel the exact same as I did at 12:59pm yesterday. He's average.

Should have been 14-6 but yeah like I said should have won by 19 instead of 9 but in no way shape of form was I worried they would lose.

id say its pretty much set. There are, for the first time in years, 5 and a half competent nhl defencemen on the roster. And since we cant actually split bogo in half, its likely these 6 will make up the D for the year. It might be better for Guhle in the long run to have that top pair role in rochester anyways.

If Clay hangs onto that pick, it's a great catch.

It was a little behind him, and he was getting hit by two guys as he touched the ball.

That's 50/50 on both of them. I wouldn't blame either guy.

If Trent Dilfer can win a SB, I don't doubt that Dalton could win a SB on the right team. When Peyton Manning won his second SB he was hardly able to move or throw the ball.

17-6 if Hauschka doesn't miss the FG.

I have always liked KC in the AFC, but they still are only the 3rd or 4th best team in the AFC (Oakland, Pittsburgh, and some might argue New England is still better even though KC just beat them down). Alex Smith has always been a reliable QB, but with some explosive play makers around him he might have a career year.

The Jets DL is not garbage but still that was concerning.
- Stripes77

For some reason the right side didn't open up anything unless Tolbert was in the game and the holes that Tolbert was getting, it was too bad Tolbert was in the game because Shady probably would've been gone with some of the lanes Tolbert had. I'm not complaining about Tolbert at all, he is a nice change of pace back for when Shady is getting a breather. They are a perfect tandem in today's NFL in my opinion.

Is Shady something or what? Nothing going, then bam 20 yard run or catch. He is elite. I love watching him. Holy S, how bout that pass he caught and danced his way all the way across the field palming the football!? I get nervous the way he carries the mail sometimes, but that's Shady.

Stripes and Goose,

I'm on the same page with pretty much everything you said regarding Bills today. Defense is going to have a tough task this week. Benjamin, Olsen, J Stew, McCaffrey and CAAAAAM. Bring it on. Let's see where we stand.

I didn't see the replay, was it a bad snap, set or just a run of the mill shank?

Yeah, the pass wasn't good. Would've been a really nice catch. One play I wish Tyrod could have back is when he was getting pressured right up the middle. Shady went through it and turned around about 3 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. There was no one around him and would've ran into the tunnel like Bo Jackson. Tyrod was under siege though and would've been a great play to get Shady the ball.

You think? Better than Bell and Johnson? I didn't want to say it, but I won't argue it either. Honestly I think I got to add Kareem Hunt to that list now too.

We're going to have to find out if Tyrod can throw to receivers this week. Panthers LB core is going to be able to shut down the middle of the field.

I also think he was average. He had a Typical Taylor day. Hopefully next year we don't have to deal with it and we can talk about Darnold/Rosen.

Im extremly concerned he is not going to last the entire year with how McD said they are basically going to run him until he pukes.

Johnson and Bell might be, but I think if they were all 25 yo, I'd take Shady.

I still can't believe we were able to trade for him
