The Chiefs looked really good today. They are going to be a handful for my Broncos especially in KC. After seeing exactly how much their QB situation is upgraded you have to like their chances to win 9 or so games and be in the hunt for the playoffs.

But, as a Missouri fan, my first emotion after that game: poor Blaine Gabbert. I fear his time as an NFL starter is coming to an end sooner rather than later.

That game's score result was the first time ever that a game ended 28-2. That's a crazy score.

I wonder how many college teams could beat Jacksonville?

Not all NFL quaterbacks are given equal opportunities. A guy like Luck walks into a team that is pretty much set, Gabbert walks into a disaster. And it doesn't look like it's going to get any better. No quarterback could win in Jacksonville.

No clue but the question I kept hearing yesterday from many fans is " A good College could beat most the NFL Teams " Use to be I would laugh at that statement but I have to admit with all the "Safety rules" in the NFL and seeing so many 3rd and long plays see a pass to a covered receiver for maybe 3 yard gains I am starting to believe those statements might very well be right now. In college third and long means going for the gusto or trying. NFL its starting to look more like " Im a Millionaire and don't want to get bruised"

Getting to the point they might as well put flags on their sides and play flag football. Come on its a violent sport and anyone who plays it knows they could be hurt. it is their choice to play the game and they need to accept the risk. Lets get back to Big Boy Football or put flags on their butts.

Not saying he is a bad QB or that the blame for Jacksonville's disaster zone offense should be placed all on his shoulders. He has no one to help him out outside of MJD. The man is also playing through an injury which shouldn't be downplayed, But when a team is losing and looking terrible offensively, quarterback changes usually follow. Just the way of the NFL world. That's not to say he won't ever get another chance, but it will probably take an injury somewhere.

Although given the Jags qb situation behind Gabbert it's not out of the realm of possibility he could start for much of the rest of this season. As rough as his play has been he is still likely better than Chad Henne, or at least it's close. But is there any question they will draft a rookie like Teddy Bridgewater or Tajh Boyd to replace Gabbert/Henne? No, not at all, barring the most unlikely of breakout seasons. And unless the surrounding talent gets dramatically better whatever poor rookie gets thrown into that situation will also look terrible and get replaced in a couple years. Such is life for franchises like the Jags. Can't expect a QB to do well if they have no offensive line or receivers.

I wonder how many college teams could beat Jacksonville?

Honestly, given their talent level, I would say teams like Oregon and Alabama could at least hang around for a few quarters. But none, probably. Even though they are a terrible NFL team, talent like Luke Joekel and Blaine Gabbert would still tear up even the better college teams.

LOL. I always get a kick out of Raiders fans. You couldn't find a worse team to associate yourself with.

How did they do yesterday?
