None of them did KC any favors. Case Keenum was just that bad tonight.

An unusual aspect of this game was that the running backs were the stars. That was highly unexpected.

I think a few of the calls were questionable.

The biggest surprise for me was the sudden eruption of Kareem Hunt against the Broncos rushing defense.

File that shit under "Oh well."

Mahomes is better, and regression will come, but that regression will be Mahomes' regression, not Kaepernick's. I still foresee the Chiefs being a SuperBowl winning team here. Mahomes is the real deal, and Andy Reid is one of my favorite coaches (despite the cutesy play calling).

I also think the Panthers are sleepers this year. Cam Newton is better without Greg Olson (wild, I know), and Christian McCaffery is amazing. Amazing and without a TD because his QB vultures every opportunity. That is going to come in handy down the stretch, methinks...

I think Carolina is the best team in the NFL's toughest division. If they can get to the postseason, they're built for success.

I'd be happier if you won a cool 250. Down 260 is bad because A) Its a loss and B) 260 is a fucked up denomination.

I'll certainly take it. I have always hated shootouts. Bad defense is not good football to me. I love a game that ends 20-17, and would prefer 9-6 over that shit.

I lost because I went heavy on pass catchers and the one player I ignored was Hunt. Again, I file that under "Oh well." I've done this long enough to know that random bullshit happens. I would have lost no matter what because I don't play running backs against the Broncos.
