If this keeps up, I am switching over/back to watching Luke Cage. Blech

I prefer the games to be exciting.

Definitely a let down, I was really looking forward to this game. KC needs to finish the half strong if they want to make it a game at all.

Looks like Netflix fixed whatever was broken. Have a good one.

Pittsburgh is easily the most stacked offensive team in the league. Brown, Wheaton, Heyward-Bey, Coates, Bell...holy cow.

They're pretty much unbeatable if their defense plays halfway decent. Their problem in recent years has been injuries. Big Ben or Bell have been hurt for a few years in a row now, if I'm not mistaken.

Agreed, they've been my Super Bowl favorite since the season started, and I'm sticking to that. As long as they stay healthy, and I get that that is a big IF, I think it's theirs to lose.

I guess that is, as long as they don't have to face the Eagles in the SB :lol:

I still got the Pats as the favorites in the AFC. The Steelers are a really fun team. But, i'm still not completely sold on that defense. Especially on the road.

Denver, NE, and Pittsburgh are my top 3 in the AFC.

Denver makes every QB they go up against look silly. They're just too good defensively. It's the same story as last year, mediocre QB + great offensive weapons + dominant defense. Like they proved last year, that's good enough to win a championship.

NE's defense has been great through the first 4 weeks. Even with the Pats playing a 3rd string QB, and Buffalo playing the game of their life (playing the Patriots is the Bills' and the Jets' personal Super Bowls), that was only a 2 possession game.

Pittsburgh's offense is just too good to ignore.

It's funny, so Denver and Pittsburgh are opposites of each other, and NE is somewhere in the middle. Denver isn't that good offensively, but is amazing defensively. Pittsburgh isn't that good defensively, but is amazing offensively. NE is more balanced and is pretty good at both, but I wouldn't say they're dominant at either.

you have to be pretty far up belichick's ass to spin getting shut out at home and losing by more than two touchdown as "just a two possession game"

Even Little Bill would disagree with you about his defense yesterday. I won't go as far as saying they stunk but they definitely weren't "great". Still, going 3-1 without your starting QB and his backup for 2 games isn't too damn bad. Patriots will be fine.

Would really like to see the Broncos and Steelers lock horns. Won't happen during the regular season though.

They got shut out, but they only gave up 16 points, which is even more impressive since they weren't doing anything offensively. 16 points is a 2 possession game. With a not horrible QB, they probably win that game.

There's no spin...they weren't winning games because of their offense, which means their defense deserves a lot of credit. And their defense was good enough to win yesterday's game, the offense just couldn't do anything.

The Browns have been competitive(two losses involving controversy) and are the leader to pick Garrett at this point. I am happy.

the defense never caused 2 Texans fumbles.
