Mahomes era is coming, Donkotards...might as well decide, now, if you want lube up or take it dry.
"Whether it was 7-on-7 or any of the 11-on-11 team periods, Mahomes was firing the ball all over the field and connecting with his receivers at every level. Mahomes dropped a beautiful pass over the outside shoulder of receiver Marcus Kemp on a deep corner route, and a bit later in practice, he fired the ball across the middle through traffic to tight end Travis Kelce, who snagged it out of the air for another 15-20-yard reception through a tight window. Mahomes had one improvisational throw back across his body that was head-turning as well. After leaving the pocket and scrambling out to his left, Mahomes threw back right across his body to the middle of the field to Chris Conley coming across the field." |

Looks like the Vikings WRs are enjoying playing with Cousins...
The ball comes out of [Cousins'] hand differently," Thielen told me with a smile after Wednesday's OTA practice, the second open to reporters this spring. "Every quarterback has their strengths and weaknesses, and I'm not here to evaluate that, but all I can say is, the ball comes out of his hand differently. "(Stefon) Diggs said it the other day -- the spiral he puts on it just makes it easy for us to catch. It just kind of pops out of his hand differently than you're used to, and you don't see that kind of stuff on film. You can only see that when you're out here practicing. It's been fun, and we have a lot of work to do. |

Smith is what he is, a safe QB choice that wont get anyone fired.. and an almost certain early play-off exit. |

Denver is nearly unbeatable at home in September. It has EVERYTHING to do with altitude and teams not being in shape. Especially since camp time was reduced. Even very bad Denver teams won those games. 21 ****ing times starting with 3 early games at home
![]() ![]() All those records knowmo brags about look pretty ****ing irrelevant now. We've said The ONLY reason Denver avoids long losing droughts is that cheap air. Now it's been proven. Thread over. |

Bullshit. That cheap advantage is nearly gone (still cheap, but lessened) late in the year. In SEPTEMBER it's a monumental difference due to conditioning. It's gotten worse since camp time was reduced. Now we know the league obviously tries to intentionally gift Denver a fast start. No arguing that anymore.

Chiefs newly acquired CB David Amerson says Patrick Mahomes is “as good as advertised.” Says he makes wow throws, makes plays he says he’s never seen before.
— Matt Derrick (@mattderrick) June 12, 2018 Wouldn't it be nice to read these types of tweets about your journeyman QB..instead of his rare ability to get people to huddle up. |

You and I have had this discussion for more than a decade. The fact that we are still having it means it has never evened out. Dig deeper into the numbers and even you might be amazed at how much of an advantage Denver has enjoyed by getting to play a front loaded home schedule season after season.

Either way, regarding all the back and forth of what does or does not even out - I'm talking team specific. If Denver's a bad team, they may have an inflated start, but it will come back to earth. See McDaniels year 1. How many of these teams were really 8 win teams, but because they started off with 3 of 4 at home, they finished with 11 or 12 wins? I'd say very few if any, it just isn't reasonable. Last edited by Mile High Mania; 06-13-2018 at 07:05 AM.. |

Why the NFL feels compelled to continue to do this...when they know it's unfairly advantageous to Denver early in the season is the real question. Your crappy-ass team blew the doors off Dallas..they looked like world beaters. They then proceeded to go 2-11. Last edited by BlackOp; 06-13-2018 at 08:55 AM.. |
