Several observations from this weekend’s football:
* I can’t stand Tom Brady. I hope A-a-ron destroys them next weekend and I
am NOT looking forward to a Super Bowl gushfest over Brady making another Super
Bowl.
* I don’t know who will retire or not, but combined, future Hall-of-Fame
QBs Phillip Rivers and Drew Brees together brought their four franchises fewer
Super Bowl titles than Mr. Roethlisberger did. i.e., the next time someone
offers up the “we wasted the HoF QB we had, shoulda won double-digit SBs, etc.”
garbage, tell them that getting to and winning a Super Bowl is hard. Very hard.
* Josh Allen is no longer just a big dude with a cannon of an arm. I think
we’re looking at a decade of Allen/Mahomes versus the rest of the AFC for SB
appearances because he has turned into a pretty dynamic player who is growing
in his ability to read defenses. But dude really does have a cannon!
* I’m glad Cleveland lost, but man that almost-TD—turned-fumble, that’s a
gut-punch. #ErnestByner
* I don’t wish any player to get injured, so I do hope Mahomes is cleared
to play next weekend, as Chefs-Bills could be an epic matchup. Must-see TV!
* My pick at this point is a Packers-Bills Super Bowl (regardless of
Mahomes’ health) with the Bills getting the SB monkey off their back.
