Patrick Mahomes is absolutely amazing. Kelce hasn’t lost a step and just set the playoff record for receptions. Andy Reid knows how to coach and is in the conversation for one of the all-time greats. Lastly, the Chiefs are looking like a dynasty. No questions, just in-awe observations.

Just a reaction. It’s interesting that neither Mike nor “Steve from Appleton” included Justin Fields on their lists of 16 promising young or veteran quarterbacks. That’s half the league. It shows why the 16 teams whose quarterback is NOT on either list are desperate to get one that is.
I’m with Wes in that there’s a lot to like about Justin Fields. He’s proven he can play in this league. I’ve maintained all along the decision the Bears have to make is what style of offense they want to play. If they want their QB to be a regular part of their running game, then they should charge ahead with Fields. If they want to build an offense differently, then move on. But don’t try to make Fields some type of QB he isn’t, which is what it felt like Chicago tried to do his rookie year and it got him off to a terrible start.
A lot of talk this week about the fumble into the end zone. While I think that rule makes perfect sense, others disagree. What’s the rule that boggles your mind? Mine is that offensive players are able to stiff arm in the head and neck area with impunity. From a safety perspective, that absolutely has to go.
It’s definitely a double standard that everyone else gets called for “illegal hands to the face” except ball carriers (and we saw it again Sunday night). But that’s my only problem with it. As for the fumble-through-the-end-zone rule, I’ve gone back and forth, because while I like the idea of a harsh consequence in the most important part of the field, giving the defense the ball when it doesn’t recover it has never sat well with me. So I’ve decided on my solution: Reverse touchback. Put the ball on the 20, offense keeps possession, first-and-goal from there.

I want to respond to Hugh from PA who was concerned about Jordan Love in his second year with defenses adjusting. I want to just point to the fact that Love has started against four teams twice (two of which played this weekend). Love is 4-0 when he plays a team for the second time as a starter, often looking better in the second game than he did…
