Hey now, Beasley was a All-Pro! because one voter decided that voting for three receivers meant the 3rd one had to be a slot guy...



Yep, it's all about just getting there and then having one good 4 game stretch. That's quite literally what the Chiefs did last year.


Bengals IMO are the team to beat for the last spot. Still don't trust their defense, but they're only 1 game out right now and they're getting healthier too with Higgins back and a couple guys on defense as well. Like the Chargers to hang around for WC2...not going to blow anyone away but that's a well coached team and their defense will keep them in it every week.

Colts being only 1 game behind Houston could make things interesting if Houston stumbles, especially if Indy can split the series.

Unfortunately for Indy, Richardson is playing again and thus will cost them a couple wins that they otherwise get with Flacco under center. Like Richardson's potential but if this team has the chance to run with a weak division under Flacco, you have to consider it. Richardson's younger than most of the rookies this year anyways.

I'm sure there are fans that feel that way.

And he does have a history of coaching mistakes at the biggest moments. But at the same time......he's an exceptional head coach to get himself and his team into big moments.

I really do think we need to get a good OC in the HC position, longterm. And I sometimes worry about McDermott's decisions during the game. Sometimes. But the man's leadership skills, and his relationships within the organization, and the community, are invaluable.

Assuming Brady proves himself to be "the man", I'd like to see McDermott promoted to an Executive role, where he can steer the ship, and free up a high-paying HC position for an OC; this way, Josh isn't learning a new "system" every other year.

It's not a firing. It maintains the McDermott/Beane connection that's served us so well in the past. And above all else, the move helps maintain the organizational foundation that was missing during those drought years.

I said that 2-3 from north will be in the battle. I think only one vnn of Pit/Cin might compete with balt. Pitt had all div games to play and play KC, and the rest of nfc east sans dallas both have potentially are schedules to play

Their young QB is still raw. I think he will lose some games that Flaco wouldnt. Thry played him yesterday. He played I think 4 games last year and 3 maybe this year.

Buffalo Bills: Buyers​

The Bills already showed their hand about what they believe their chances are in 2024. In acquiring Amari Cooper last week, it was a big statement to boost a receiver room that sorely needed an upgrade. General manager Brandon Beane didn’t rule out making another move ahead of the deadline either. Injuries could always change priorities, but their two biggest needs currently are either at safety, or at backup offensive line due to the huge dropoff from starters to reserves. At safety, though, the Bills have left the door open on a potential Micah Hyde reunion if he chooses to return to playing, which would fill another big need. — Joe Buscaglia

Less than 24 hours after wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk injured his right knee against the Kansas City Chiefs, the San Francisco 49ers got the bad news they were expecting.

Aiyuk tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his right knee, which will require surgery and end his 2024 season after just seven games, coach Kyle Shanahan announced Monday.

What's more, the illness that limited wideout Deebo Samuel to four snaps against the Chiefs is technically a form of pneumonia, according to Shanahan. Samuel has some fluid buildup in his lungs and remains in a local hospital after checking in Sunday night.

"I think it started acting up in the middle of the night Saturday night or early Sunday morning and then it just kind of evolved as the day went," Shanahan said of Samuel. "Once we found out he had the fluid in his lungs and stuff after the game, then I believe they sent him over there."

Shanahan said there's no timeline yet for when Samuel could return, though that should clarify over the next few days.

A few thoughts:

Hopefully Aiyuk and Samuel get healthy. But, this is why Aiyuk wanted to get paid.

Thank goodness Beane got the Cooper deal done when he did.

I wonder if the 49ers turn into sellers at the deadline...
