The Lions are the favorite to win their division at this point. They are a good young team.I bet big on the Lions last night & won a cool 1K! I’m really loving these Lions!
Stroud hasn't thrown an INT through 4 games. For a rookie QB who is starting and playing every snap, this is pretty good.
Patriots Bench Mac Jones! Bailey Zappe now at QB
Unfortunately after 2 absolutely brutal INTs on passes that should not have been thrown, and a monkey balls-sucking 39.9 QB rating, Belichik has relieved Mac Jones of his starting QB duties. It's kind of sad from the standpoint that Jones's rookie season in the NFL wasn't bad, was actually pretty solid. But then again, Carson Wentz also started out well in his NFL career, and is now out of the league and not a a single team wants him- not even the Jets.
The Patriots are down 31-3 and need a spark.

Texas does well again
In Week 4, things were no different. The No. 2 overall pick went 16-for-30 passing for 306 yards and two touchdowns in the Texans' 30-6 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
Stroud's performance put him at 1,212 yards for the season, surpassing Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert and Andrew Luck for the second-most yards through four starts to begin a career. He trails only Cam Newton's 1,386 yards in 2015, when he was named MVP.
Stroud views it all as a "blessing" but is far from satisfied.
"I think it's really cool when you see your work pay off a little bit, but for me, it's just the beginning," Stroud said. "It's a blessing, but I want to do more. I want to be great at this game."
Stroud also has the third-most passing attempts (151) by a rookie without an interception to start his career, behind Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (176) and Miami Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa (152).
The former Ohio State standout has thrown for over 300 yards twice so far and is the first quarterback to do so since Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow and Herbert in 2020. Stroud also became the first Texans' quarterback to throw for 200 yards or more in his first four career games.
Stroud accomplished these feats while missing multiple starters on the offensive line as center Juice Scruggs, left guard Kenyon Green and right tackle Tytus Howard have yet to play in the regular season. And left tackle Laremy Tunsil missed the last three games. Even Tunsil's backup, Josh Jones, missed the Week 4 matchup.

Gaby,
I am questioning KC's WR talent after last night's game. Rashee Rice, Kadarious Toney and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are a weak group. No TD passes over 10 yards was mentioned by Chris Collinsworth last night. Over the past couple of years the Chiefs let Tyreek Hill and JuJu Smith Schuster go. Those 2 were better than any of the guys they have now. KC has no real deep threat. The truth is that if Zach Wilson had not fumbled a snap, the Jets probably would have won this game.
At the moment, I like Buffalo and Miami over KC as AFC Super Bowl contenders.

Former NFL tight end Russ Francis killed in New York plane crash
Russ Francis, the former NFL tight end who played 13 seasons and made three Pro Bowls, died Sunday in a plane crash at Lake Placid Airport.

I’m so sick of Taylor Swift, to be honest. By the way she has a reputation of writing songs about her exes so Travis Kelce better remain on his best behaviour for as long as they’re dating although i’m betting the love affair won’t last very long unless she’s okay with him occasionally going elsewhere for his piece-of-ass.
As for the Chiefs EB pretty much nailed it. Ordinary WR & i’d say the same thing about the RB. This offense is driven by Patrick Mahomes & Travis Kelce. They kind of remind me of the Pats with Brady & Gronk.
Once again this season home field will be extremely important for the Chiefs during the playoffs. They will absolutely hate playing away in the cold weather during the playoffs & they were very lucky to still end up winning the game last night. It also seems the Chiefs always get the calls & the breaks & that trend won’t last forever.
I remember when he played back in the days when Steve Grogan was his QB in NE. He was a great tight end & one of the best along the likes of Dave Casper, Mark Chumura, Gronk, Tony Gonzalez & Antonio Gates.Former NFL tight end Russ Francis killed in New York plane crash

I heard on WFAN today that Taylor Swift had 9 camera views during the game, to only 8 camera views for Aaron Rodgers on the Jets sideline. Possibly the most discussed camera view Taylor got all night was this one in which she is seen hugging Donna Kelce after just 2 weeks of dating Donna's son:
It occurred to me that the Chiefs have a financial problem because they invested so much money into Mahomes (who does deserve it), but the other side of it is they don't have the money to pay their WRs or RBs. It seems like they decided as an organizational strategy that Mahomes is the "rising tide that lifts all ships", but I don't think you can pair him with very average receivers (none of whom is a #1 and arguably maybe not even a #2), and hope they will suddenly start performing like #1 or #2 WRs. I thought they made a mistake when they let Tyreek Hill go, but then they signed someone very solid to replace him (Juju Smith Schuster). But now they let Smith Schuster go and it seems like their GM thinks they can just plug in anyone at WR and play. We will see how that goes. None of those guys are as good as Juju even.
The Patriots had much better WRs for Brady, who also wasn't paid as much until the very end of the career. The Patriots rode Brady with a sub market salary for many years, but they had Randy Moss and Wes Welker for him for a few years (which was an incredible duo and perfect compliments), and later on Julian Edelman, who became the primary target outside of Gronk.
All the tight ends you mentioned were great, but Tony Gonzalez might be the only one in the same category as Gronk. The difference is that Gonzalez really didn't win anything, whereas Gronk was huge and sometimes beyond huge in the biggest games. I think he was the best TE ever mainly because his combination of highlight film catches, highlight film blocks, and highlight film runs with guys draped all over him after catches is a longer highlight reel than anyone else you will find. This guy was GREAT! He was to tight ends what Lawrence Taylor was for LBs. A mega talent.
Gaby- Travis Kelce in an interview said all his girlfriends MUST do oral sex- it's a dealbreaker if they don't. So does this mean Taylor Swift is giving him some serious head?
I happen to agree with Travis both on no oral sex = dealbreaker and on sex by the 4th date. A rule I have applied on Seeking Arrangement!
I doubt Travis is a Kiss and Tell type of guy but would like to hear his reviews on Taylor Swift blow jobs.
