Think we finally found our guy :devil:

What a gutsy call to go for it on 4th and 9 from the Chiefs 35 with 48 seconds left in a tied game.

Can't remember exactly how it unfolded, and yes the Chargers look good, but that was just awful clock management at the end, and just because it worked out this time didn't mean that it wasn't. If you run the clock down and kick the FG from PAT distance you don't even give Mahomes a chance anymore, lot less nerve-wrecking ending if so.

But great game! All AFC West teams looking legit so far.

It was baffling, and if I remember correctly they were even pretty lucky with a couple of dropped balls and something that looked a bit like pass interference on Tyreek Hill on Chief's final drive. They also relied heavily on the Chiefs defense continually committing fouls on defense. Best game I have seen in a while though.

Justin Herbert is the real deal. His decision making and ball placement yesterday was top notch. Also, at 6 ft. 6 and 235 lbs. he is an absolute unit, which is never a bad thing for a QB. Basically the same stature as Roethlisberger.

Denver D has only allowed 26 points in three games. Only the Eagles currently have fewer points allowed with 23 but they don’t play their third game til tonight.

Rams look like potential Champions this is year with Stafford as Quarterback.

They are going to be hard to stop

I'm just catching up on all the highlights. Stafford really put on a clinic last night.

And they've played the Giants, the Jags and the Jets. Two rookie QB's and terrible OLs, and a third franchise whose QB is very much on a prove it year. The next 4 or so games with the Ravens, Steelers, Raiders and Browns will be a lot more instructive
