I can see why! How the hell could you miss him, the dude is huuuuuge. He's 6'6" 265. He is, but his injury history shows that too. He's a big physical player that spends a lot of time on IR. That hit from Church in the game with the Jags rang his bell pretty good but i'm glad he will be okay for the SB.

Amendola is the guy to watch. He could be the QB.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

But to be fair, the QB was under siege after their first drive. It took Schwartz a few minutes to dial it in. He's pretty familiar with the Pats offense though so I doubt it will take that long to dial in a recipe for the Pats.

Why don't you just dial this in.

So... The Chiefs traded Alex Smith to the Redskins last night. Foles and Reid have history. I'm thinking Andy is foaming up the runway to offer Foles a starting position with the Chiefs next season.

I don't think that's a smooth move at all and one Coach Reid may live to regret.

Chiefs have lost 12 of their last 13 playoff games and Alex Smith has been there for a handful of them.
This last loss against the Titans was particularly ugly. Up 21-3 at the half, the Chiefs offense completely disappeared after Travis Kielce went out with a concussion. Smith needed to make a play in the 2 nd half and wasn’t able to.
He definitely shows signs of being elite but then seems to disappear when it matters most.
I bet BG is right: they’re going after Foles.

I bet BG is right: they’re going after Foles. I'm betting they sign Foles and give Mahomes a shot to sink or swim. If he sinks, bench him and start Foles. That's Andy Reid football right there.

I bet BG is right: they’re going after Foles. That whole deal of him losing his job to Kaep over his concussion was a shitty deal. I've heard a lot of people say Smith is underrated. I've seen enough to know he's a good "game manager", I just haven't seen enough to know if he has strong fundamentals. If he does, he will fit with the Skins like a glove and the Skins will be more of a problem for NFCE rivals, but I doubt a playoff caliber team.

Nick has played himself into a starting job somewhere.

He's a new father and has a young marriage, maybe he'll choose to take gobs of money without suffering a beating for it.

Nick has played himself into a starting job somewhere. He really has, but he said on media day that he's okay with being a backup next year. I have a feeling he will change his mind when he sees the paycheck though.
