    Downtown Detroit was f---ing lit tonight.

    Also never thought I’d have the honor of seeing my team beat Tom Brady live. That was something special

    Kerryon Johnson is a stud, There is absolutely no reason for Patricia to play Blount at all.

    RIP 49ers season with Jimmy out. I'm f---ing depressed. I said from the beginning that they weren't a playoff team but they'd be competitive. No Jimmy, no chance. I don't even want to go to the MNF game vs the Packers anymore.

    It literally looked like they were moving out of the way for every run.

    Bentley and Wise were the only ones who played well.

    Blount is very important to the team, vocally and emotionally. When he defended Stafford last week by pushing that player to the ground who hit Stafford late (maybe late, it was close) that gave the Lions a spark on offense and they scored a TD right after that.

    KJ will be something special though it seems like. Very happy with him

    Jags are the best team in the AFC, any Titans game is an anomaly we just can't beat them. They have our number just one of those weird things, good thing they s--- and won't make the playoffs. I'll admit the Chiefs are a close threat, week 5 will be interesting but the Chiefs offense is on an absolutely unsustainable pace and I think facing a defense that is actually as fast as them will be a huge wake up call. I'm going to the Jags game this weekend, if we lose to the Jets I'm def gonna k--- myself.

    Right now it's Jags/Chiefs AFC.and Rams/Eagles NFC.

    I'd pick Chiefs vs Rams right now. I think it's going to depend on seeding at this point. What held the Chiefs back was Alex Smith and his conservative playing style. I think Mahomes enhances their dangerous weapons, hence why they're exploding now. It's going to be an interesting match-up though. I wonder how Mahomes handles Jacksonville's defense in a high pressure situation.

    I just have zero faith in Bortles in a big game. I know he had an OK playoff run last year, but he still stalled out in the AFC Title Game, and his deficiencies really hurt you guys down the stretch.

    But, like I said, if Chiefs have home-field, they will walk into the Super Bowl. I give teams zero shot to go into Arrowhead and beat them.

    I'm also not writing the Patriots off yet, but they have so much work to do, and some of the problems are REALLY hard to fix.

    None of their interior linemen are good enough to absorb blocks, let alone double teams, let alone penetrate off of double teams and their linebackers are completely trash at shedding blocks, minus Bentley.

    I'd seriously switch Hightower and Bentley's roles and bench Malcolm Brown.

    Pats have really good pass rushers, but the Lions just ran it right at their front 7 and bullied them. So embarrassing.

    And their secondary is a disaster. Gillmore and Chung are the only good players back there. And Chung is more of a linebacker than a safety.

    If Chung is your second best "linebacker" and the rush defense struggles THIS bad without him? Yikes.

    The big mistakes they made were letting go of Logan Ryan and trading Jamie Collins. They would make a world of difference right now.

    I'm def not writing the Pats off either, Bill will make the defensive adjustments and probably make a trade or two to help the D out before the deadline it can't stay how it is. Plus Edelman and Gordon are obviously gonna be an insane boost to the offense.

    I disagree on Bortles though I think the blame from the AFC Championship is more on the offensive play-calling than it is on Bortles. We saw they learned from that last week and let Bortles keep his foot on the gas win the game rather than trying to hide him.

    Bro I really don't think Edelman is gonna make a lot of difference (over 30 with a knee injury) and I don't trust Gordon...

    Sony Michel is Maroney 2,0 so far. The dude is so indecisive when he's carrying the ball.

    And some of the adjustments aren't possible. You can't scheme any better, in my opinion. If your top middle linebacker and interior defensive tackle can't penetrate, occupy stalemated blocks or shed blocks, you're in so much trouble..

    Their defense relies on the pass rush now (because of their trash secondary), but it doesn't do any good if you can't stop the run lol. Offensive lines aren't worried about Malcolm Brown, centers don't even chip block him, it's sad lol.

    And yeah, that's a good point about Bortles. They basically gave the game back to the Pats by being conservative. I think Bortles has definitely elevated this year so far (aside from yesterday).

    I just don't know if the Jags can beat the Chiefs in Arrowhead. That place is so ridiculously tough to win in.

    I do hope the Jags end up in the Super Bowl, because Chiefs fans can be super annoying.

    They need to make a trade a la what the Jags did getting Marcel Darreus last year which saved our run D but ya the secondary is a mess lol

    d---, rough season for the niners with Jet and now Jimmy out for the year. Expected them to be one of the top up and coming teams this season.

    Feel bad for Jimmy G. I was really interested to see how his career would go. Big L for the 49ers. But they'll get a good draft pick now

    9ers really struggled before acquiring jimmy G last season, so I have a feeling they’ll drop off a lot. It sucks he got hurt but at least it happened early rather than late in the season

    looking forward to this Monday night game. Steelers need a win bad and I wanna see if Fitzpatrick can keep it up. He’s done this before but then he’ll drop off. He’s a good player just too streaky
