Kittle loves a long one.
He's been so good this season. From primarily a blocking tight end to arguably a top 5 catching TE in the league.

You'd think that someone would try and actually cover Kittle.
Bloody Denver d having a mare. How do you beat the chargers and then struggle against this lot.
Just mark kittle and you've undone the offence.
That was incredible by JuJu.
Steelers
Losing to that shite
That Rams/Bears game was every bit as enjoyable as the Chiefs game
The fucking Bears
Nope. Absolutely not. Not having that at all.
Yeah, I thought everyone was losing their shit a bit too much over that no look thing.
Wild game though.
With the various high flying offences faltering of late, I was thinking to myself when was the last time such a team actually won the Superbowl?
By the time things got to a head last year the Eagles weren't (even if maybe they were at the outset), I'm not sure either New England wins in recent years would see them qualify (certainly not against the Hawks who were the high flyers, maybe against Seattle), other than that, back to the last time the Saints won it?
This was so much better:
Rodgers is the only one that could also do it. Less so this year.
Haven't seen throws like that since Favre.
Loomar officially the starter.
Flacco will spend the final few weeks on the bench and, more than likely, get cut when the season is done.
Wentz is done for the season again.
The only way he plays again is if Big Dick Nick gets a win in LA against the Rams. As that's never happening, there's always next year.
Just seen the current names for the East/West Shrine game. There are a decent number of names I've never heard, but there are also some pretty good players going:

Those are the notable names, the majority of which should get drafted, with a few of them having a shot to go on day two.
Draft season
I'm on Team Qadree Ollison and Sheldrick Redwine.
Anyone staying up for this?
He's like a cheat code at times.
He shouldn't throw that in a million years and yet it ends up nicely into his receiver.
your man on nfl show was talking about he looks one way and just casually chucks it the other way. without seeing a replay i'm pretty sure that's exactly what he just did, if not for the TD then at least for the ball before (please forgive me i'm 8 pints down and don't really understand nfl at the best of times)
Also i reckon the way the chargers kick returner just spilled that should be punished rather than just being on the 25.
That's what, the third close game KC have lost this season? And they probably should have lost at the weekend too.
Doesn't really bode well for their post-season hopes. At Arrowhead as well.
Pretty harsh on whichever of these two miss out on the bye seeing as they both have conference leading records.
From what I saw of that last night the Chiefs' RB played well, but if Kareem Hunt is in that game they win it by two scores, maybe more.
Mahomes showed a few more glimpses of mortality too, particularly on that easily avoidable sack near the end which pretty much gave up the game. He has bonkers arm talent, but he really needs to improve pretty much every other aspect of his game.
He's in his first season starting, he'll get there. All you're looking for at this stage is the base to build upon. Hell, Rodgers had 3 years as under study at Green Bay and then a shaky start.
Would love to see the chargers go all the way for Phillip rivers. Without a ring he probably gets overlooked for the hall whilst brother Eli doesn't.
Hadn't realised jarrett stidham had declared for the draft. He's had a pretty poor season, so a bit surprised by that. Either he's getting some buzz or he just doesn't rate college.
Benny snell the Kentucky runner is going too. As is about half of the talent at ole miss.
Some serious talk about kyler Murray choosing football which would be wild. I can see him trying to manage both, but to flat out turn his back on baseball which he's far better suited to and likely would be far more lucrative for him is mental. He must fucking love football.
Interesting to find out how the NFL would evaluate him. Doug flutie is about the only analogue for short guys I can think of, and he was tiny. Kyler is a cross beteeen him and an rg3/vick/kaepernick.
Has he not signed a baseball contract?
He might do what Russell Wilson has done. Play in the NFL until you get sick of it, but then go play Baseball after.
There’s probably not much Stidham can gain from going back, to be fair. Might as well get out the way of the 2020 class & hope he can get some momentum on the all star circuit. It sounds like he’s properly torpedoed his draft stock this year though - some places have him as a day three guy now. He’ll probably still end up going day two just on name recognition.Originally Posted by Foe
Benny Snell will probably be a mid round (3-5) guy, depending on how well he tests. He’s one of the better physical guys in the class, but I’m not sure he’ll be a feature back, so his value will be pretty limited. Wouldn’t surprise me to see him go in the Samaje Perine range (think that was R4).
Kyler is a really interesting one - I won’t believe he’s declaring until he does, and he’s got the physique of a 12 year old, but you can’t deny he tore it up this year. It’s then a question of how much was the scheme & what traits did he show that actually translate to the NFL, and do you think you can build an offence that suits him. I’ve heard his name mentioned as a potential late first rounder though, so I guess we’ll see.
I think the entire Ole Miss offence is coming out - all three WRs, OT Greg Little & QB Jordan Ta’amu are for sure, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if TE Dawson Knox declared as well, especially now their OC has got another job (I think).
Don't forget there's a game tonight because the two NY teams are at home the same week.
Texans at the Jets followed by Browns at Broncos. If there wasn't severe fantasy relevance for me I'd not bother.
Hadn't even realised there was two games. Pity they weren't 6 and 9pm.
Forget that, it's utah state vs north Texas mean green. Talk about prestige in the, also prestigious, New Mexico bowl.
Fresno State v Arizona State is on now, and I’d imagine that’s the one to watch.
Yeah, realised that after and immediately switched over.
Gonna hopefully watch my Texans fuck up the jets though.
High scoring win for the Texans please.
I'm going to try to awkwardly flip between the two games whilst also watching something on Netflix with my housemate.
N'Keal Harry isn't playing so it's only really Manny Wilkins & KeeSean Johnson that I want to watch in the Las Vegas Bowl anyway.
Well all I've seen of manny Wilkins thus far was a 3 and out and then pick 6. He must've done something though as they did go score.
That ASU touchdown run featured the least co-ordinated set of juke moves I've ever seenI'm not sure whether Manny will come out this year or not, but he'd probably be wise to go back if he still has eligibility. The baggy sleeves alone make him undraftable.
That 'in the grasp' call on DeShaun was horrific.
That 'sack' of Watson was bullshit.
I have Hopkins and my fantasy opponent has the Texans D and kicker. Pretty poor start for me there.
This Jets offence is pretty shambolic.
How the fuck do you just let the best WR in the game walk into the end zone from 50 yards?
All of these field goals are driving me mad.
Darnold is an awful looking player. How did he go in the first round with that wind-up?
Panic?
He's mobile and throws really quite well on the run too, but as a pocket passer he isn't appearing up to much.
I thought Darnold played quite well today. Just needs a bit more poise in the pocket, but when you only have one half-decent receiver in Robby Anderson, it's hard to look impressive. You have to remember how bad Goff looked in his first season under Fisher, so if Bowles goes (as he should) and the Jets bring in someone in the McVay mould, he could definitely fulfil that potential. He's still only 21 too.
Darnold is really talented, but he's not got the processing side of it down yet, and it makes him pretty inconsistent in the pocket. They need to get an offensive guy in (there's no McVay out there, in all likelihood, but anyone with a decent, modern vision would be a start), and they definitely need to get at least one actual talented player on their offence. Robby Anderson is the best they have, and he's a complimentary receiver. Other than him, the WR group is down there with the worst in the league, and their RBs & O-Line aren't any better.
On that note, I watched some Kelvin Harmon film today. DK Metcalf is more of a physical freak than he is, but Harmon is the better player right now, and he's still a pretty impressive athlete in his own right. He's really good when the ball is in the air, tracks it well & has a knack for getting his body between the defender & the ball. He's got good speed & acceleration for a big guy too (we're talking sub 4.60), can get some yards with the ball in his hands and he runs a surprisingly diverse route tree for a big college receiver. Could be a pretty nice WR1 for a team like the Jets. Or Baltimore...
Also stumbled across a freshman they recruited to replace Nyheim Hines & Jaylen Samuels who looks good, so keep an ear out for Ricky Person in a couple of years. Their main guy Reggie Gallaspy is solid too, and they have another WR called Jakobi Meyers who used to play QB but now looks like a legit prospect too. He's a junior, so he could declare, but I'd imagine he'll be a 2020 guy.
They're a pretty good team to watch, actually, considering last season they had the aforementioned offensive guys plus a stacked D-Line that all got drafted last year (Bradley Chubb, Kentavius Street, BJ Hall & Justin Jones).
Can the Jets take Marty Mornhinweg from us.
He's awesome, honest.
