It’s not an overreaction to think the team that is back to back Super Bowl champs to win the AFC lol

[@Badalight]

Not even that, the ravens were an option too and he still called it an overreaction

[@thomasdascombe4939]

@@Badalight Right. Like it’s not an overreaction even just with the chiefs, 2 time defending champs and AFC representative 4 of 5 years (nearly 6 of 6) add the Ravens it’s not an overreaction it’s the likelihood

[@PrimeTimeGala]

@@Badalight if I were to put money on it, it’s definitely one of the Ravens or Chiefs that will be in the Super Bowl. I just think they’re a notch higher than everyone else in the conference. Cinci, Houston and Buffalo probably right below them. Not buying into the Jets hype

[@lhfirex]

They got the first draft of the script.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

Either Chiefs or Ravens in the Super Bowl is definitely NOT an overreaction. Yes, you could take the field. I'll take Chiefs or Ravens. Scottie Scheffler is "Quiet Tiger" right now. If he wants the PGA, he wins. Period.

It wasn't even good, it's not a good take either. They said it's an overreaction for him to compete for MVP and had he played a full season he would have had similar numbers to Lamar.

[@mizzou19]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="260">4:20</a> It was definitely talked about in KC amongst the media and fans at different points in the season. And that talk crescendo’d at halftime of the Chiefs/Titans playoff game. Not hindsight at all. So I can believe that at least some of the players felt this way too

[@rpharrington]

100% Lions are getting the most NFC Primetime. They are must see TV!

[@richardmorris8745]

We have 49ers, Cowboys, and Rams on the schedule. And at least 1, probably both games against the Packers. That’s 4 or 5 prime time games right there.

[@mcmiscellaneous4706]

No idea how the first one can be considered an overreaction. Then again, Rich just can’t give up on the Bills, so I’m sure that’s holding him back.

[@alissaferge2775]

Cause Lamar is the same as dak in the playoffs no way he wins enough playoff games to make a super bowl

[@hammerr]

​@@alissaferge2775He was one off. Yall love to hate lamar.

[@mcmiscellaneous4706]

@@alissaferge2775 I guess my point is Rich usually says overreaction when it’s something that has no chance of happening. I’d say there’s definitely a chance of either the 3x Super Bowl champ or 2x MVP making the Super Bowl this year.

[@ngken1012]

@@hammerrit’s the way he folded….not hatin’ but we all watched…

[@Gungho73]

@@hammerr I don't want to hate or rather dislike Lamar by any means. But it says a lot coming into that matchup that the feeling wasn't that his team was going to, or not going to show up especially on D. It's whether he could. He has one of the best coaches in the league and their front office is amongst the best in the business for decades. He's a great football talent. So its not unreasonable for us to put more pressure on him and to chastise him when hes the one faltering in these moments. He wanted the money, he wanted the players. He got that. He earned the pressure fans like us give him. If Josh Allen gets hell for playing well in games and not getting it done, Lamar absolutely deserves hell for playing like butt in the games that matter most. I like Baltimore as an organization personally. I think they're one of the model franchises year-year. But I'm not certain what else they can do in those situations to get over the hump that doesn't rely on Lamar playing better. I WANT him, not talking for anyone else here but me, to prove me and everyone else wrong. At least someone other then the New England Chiefs because I personally dislike seeing the same team in it almost every year.

"I was saying in '92 the Falcons should trade Favre to the Packers!!"

[@wyfyj]

As an avid Chief's fan, that is accurate reporting. It was the same preseason hype as Pacheco.

[@shackdaddy7106]

Last you said it was more likely that Minnesota would sweep Denver. Why was that not brought up?

[@wademccormick254]

Even if the field is more likely to make the Super Bowl (and I think it's close), how it it an overreaction to say that one of the two favorites in the AFC, who were both in the AFC championship last year, will make the Super Bowl again? It's not an overreaction to say the Chiefs will win the AFC, so it's even less of an overreaction if you add the Ravens in.

[@wademccormick254]

He even contradicted this logic with the Nuggets. The Nuggets are probably less likely to win the title than one of the Chiefs or Ravens making it to the Super Bowl, but that's not an overreaction because it's "entirely possible"? I think we need to figure out what the definition of overreaction is.

As a chiefs fan it’s not far fetched that we knew what Mahomes was early in the season he sat. You should have heard the stories coming out of practice. And why would we move on immediately after Alex smith had his best season. THEY KNEW EARLY

[@scottsodyssey2485]

Every year that passes that Harbaugh and Lamar don't get to and or win the SB the more difficult it will be (pressure and doubt). Last year was supposedly their best team and chance to do so and it flamed out like all the previous seasons. As resilient as Andy and Mahomes are at some point they will run out of gas. Its incredible what they have achieved but a 3peat is so incredibly hard to do. I dont think either Ravens or Chiefs make the SB.

[@sharkzillah401]

I think Chris might be onto something with the Drake Maye and Kyler Murray takes. I wouldn’t put Maye out there to get destroyed (like what happened to Lawrence with Urban Meyer) unless there’s actually something to be gained for Maye. As for Kyler, the cardinals look decent on paper this year, they’ve got offensive talent, and they do make noise every few years

[@evileyevalaus]

I would sit drake at least 2-3 weeks towards the end of the season depending on how it goes

[@Gungho73]

I can see the Lions maxing it out. Two of the better games last year in the regular season in prime time were against the Chiefs and Cowboys. Those primetime games stood out to me. This is the best, arguably exciting Lions team in multiple decades with a likeable set of players. They aren't controversial, which may not sell, but they play good football and take risks on special teams and on offense, which does. Their head coach is a refreshing wave of personality/toughness in a NFL with a bunch of surly old men and young Masters lookalikes. In a wave of bad TNF matchups since Amazon forced their way in, are you telling me not one of those Lions matchups would be more intriguing to slot in then what they continually put up? If the NFL gives more overall teams a highlight that's not a bad thing, I won't say no to that. But if a team in the NFC at least is going to take a bevy of matchups the one that went to the NFC Championship game is not a bad choice. Texans I don't personally think make the most. I think the AFC South is kinda in a weird spot where its less I don't trust them to not win the division again, its more I don't want to bet against the teams in their division from surging up. Having a young good QB will help them though in that debate. I think my leaning against them comes moreso from the sheer number of AFC teams you could argue deserve a primetime game. In the NFC there's not a lot of world beaters, and the best teams tend to stick out a lot more. AFC fans could make a legitimate argument for most of the teams in their conference to get multi matchups and I would probably stupidly nod my head and go "yeah, I agree with that."

[@leonapplebutter5946]

Don't love that rich immediately shot down Kyler and MVP talks, not saying he'll end up in the top five but it's also not the craziest thing to think

[@MrFreshEdition]

The 2024 Steelers have TREMENDOUSLY improved from the 2023 Steelers. The Offense is the most improved in the NFL and will be Top 10. The QB Room has Drastically Improved with RW3 and JF2 being the best back up in the NFL. RW3 threw 26 TD's and 8 INTS and had a bad year compared to the Steelers 13 TD and 13 INTS. I can see RW3 30TD and 5 INTS and 3500YDS and 67% completion rate in Arthurs Smith's offense. The Offense finally has a legitimate and Bonafide Offensive Coordinator with a proven offensive system and scheme. Importantly he has stated that his already successful offensive system and scheme has evolved into the point where it will incorporate and utilize the speed of the WR Room: Roman Wilson (4.39), Quez Watkins (4.35), Scotty Miller (4.39), and CAIII (4.32) all with 4.3 Speed. The Running game will start game 1 of the season rushing for 150 yards or more versus getting it going week 9 of the 2 previous seasons. In addition, the offense has proven weapons: Pickens, Muth, Najee, Warren, and Patterson. I look for Darnell Washington to have a breakout year! Najee and Jaylen will rush for 1000 Yds. The Offensive Line Has Systematically Improved with the additions of Troy Fautanu, Zach Frazier, and Mason McCormick who can play Guard and Center which adds quality depth to the OL. McCormick would be a starter on most NFL teams. The Defense will be TOP 5 With the addition of Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson we have two athletic ILB's that can play sideline to sideline and cover TE's and RB's which the Steelers hasn't had since Ryan Shazier! Also, the addition of SS Elliott improves the Steeler 3 Safety Package Scheme that they employ 25% of the time. This will allow Minkah to be the Ball Hawk he is. Beanie Bishop at the SLCB and the resigning of Cam Sutton provide Depth at SCLB and CB2 or CB3 as Donte Jackson brings his 4.3 to the Secondary with JPJ taking the second year Leap! The CB room has quality potential that is untested depth with Darius Rush, Cory Trice, Ryan Watts all between 6"'2" and 6'3" and 200lbs + with 4.4 speed plays with physicality. This is a classic Tomlin's CB Room. KEY Point Payton Wilson hasn't had an injury since 2021! To finalize the Roster, I would sign Calias Campbell to help the DL. I am looking for Benton to take the leap in year 2. And to add quality depth I would resign Kwon Alexander ILB, Golden OLB, and Eric Rowe S all play very well for the Steelers Last year. Courtland Sutton and Simmons would be luxury Trade and signings, but I would pursue them. The Steelers own the Ravens and have beaten them 7 of the last 8. LJ8 has his worse QB passer rating versus the Steelers at 67.4 with 6td and 7ints and 20 Sacks and 1-3 record. Watson has never beaten the Steelers he is 0-2. Burrel Dominates the Steelers but we did have a 4 INT Game versus him in the Season opener in 2022. But with the additions on Defense, I think the Steelers will contain him and slow him down enough to let RW3 Cook! Key Point All Three QB's have injury history: LJ8, Watson, and Burrell and the Backups are average, but the Steelers have Justin Fields as their Back Up! The 2024 Steelers win 12 Games and win the AFC North and make it to the AFC Championship. Steelers were 5-1 in the Division in 2023.

"...What's the point of the Patriots trying to win this year ?..." I believe the average tenure of a NFL Head coach is three years, so for them, win now or they are out of a job; but whether that philosophy is good for a rookie QB or the team overall, it is a bit questionable.
