No joy in Mudville aka Green Bay, came really close there, couple of bungles + old nemesis George Kittle (and others).

"Wait till next year" (and the year after that), Love looks really good, as do receivers, TEs, and even OL

He’s young and this was his first rodeo, so it’s not an indictment, but I thought Love threw too many poor balls yesterday. Even short passes that were caught were off target — high or not in stride.

Yes, way more misses than in recent games, looked more like early in the season.  Rain didn't help (either team, though), and he just didn't look as zen as he has, either before or during the game.

True — when commenting I forgot about the conditions.

The KC game was fun to watch.  I'm happy with the result

Buffalo fans must be sick...... brutal ending.

If I were one, I’d be consoling myself with reminders that Mahomes would have had a minute and a half to move the ball into scoring range, and that the best case was still only OT.

There really isn't anything to be sick about.  Those two teams are both extremely talented.  Just a couple of dropped balls caught, or passes better defended, and it would have been different.  There were no stupid mistakes, and the only play I questioned was the fake punt.

Right?!

Plenty of time, close game. Seemed the risk greatly outweighed the reward.

Seemed desperate, but I guess they thought they had numbers.

And a risky field position.  From midfield maybe, but not there.

And even that caused no harm in the end.

I used to be a hardcore Buffalo fan. Growing up in Syracuse will do that to ya. Anyway, I was reeeeally hoping for a Buffalo vs. Detroit Superbowl. At least then one of those cities would finally be able to celebrate a Superbowl win.

Wide right. Ouch. 

That Packers loss was tough to watch. They just couldn't hold on. I'd been rooting for Jordan since replacing a guy like Rogers had to have been tough.

they lucked out with that fumble at the goal line 

Who I want to win:
chiefs  over ravens

Lions over niners

I just want some more awesome games!  But I would prefer Raven and Lions.

I think you very well might get this result.
