Another "what is a catch?" review after the TD by the Chargers. You'd think the League would have a clue by now. But they don't. The non catch where the Charger WR has his left arm held while going up for the catch in the EZ wasn't called either. Rivers was right to complain after the helmet to helmet he took, as well. NFL Officiating has really taken a turn for the worse. I wonder if it can be repaired? (I almost said I wonder if it can be "fixed"--and the answer to that would be yes!)

Come on, dude. It's been an issue for a long time, basically since HD. As a Packer fan, you should know that better than most.
Also, people have been betting millions on NFL prior to the latest law anyway. If someone was going to do something shady, the time to do it would have been before legalization. The major books have all sorts of government oversight and technology to spot wager patterns that could be indicative of fixing. They are not going to risk losing the billions in profit over the long run for a short term gain.
There is nothing about that that makes sense.
Chem Trails and PizzaGate are based on more logic than this.
Hey, I am just sayin man. It’s quite the coincidence 
And tell me more about Chem Trails and PizzaGate. The pizza down here tastes like chemicals, so I would not be surprised if it was true.
Boris, you actually think the ****ing bears are that good? Their offense blows. The game between the bears and the rams was a joke. Their only touchdown was from the 4 yard line and thrown to an offensive lineman. It was an extremely sloppy game played by both teams.

The Bears, overall, are not a good team.
They are essentially similar to the Vikings team a couple of years ago that had a crazy defense with an amazing turnover ratio that eventually puttered out and forced them to miss the playoffs.
The Bears are the same (save for the NFC is so bad this year that playoffs is guaranteed). Get them into a game where their defense doesn't score points and/or force 3+ turnovers and the Bears will lose. I do not expect them to finish strong or go long into the playoffs.
If the Packers take care of the ball and Rodgers continues doing what he does with Adams et al., the Packers are going to win by 3 scores. The Packers defense should hold against the Bear "offense."
Mahomes is everything all the previous "this kid could be the GOAT QB" young QB's have been declared and then never even came close to succeeding. It's early (the only real caveat) but he is already showing a Jordanesque ability to entertain with ease.

Love him......and he actually reminds me of Bert in a lot of ways, EXCEPT the int’s. He doesn’t throw a lot of int’s. He’s a lot of fun to watch........I think he is going to be good for a long time, baring any serious injury.

The Vikings always entertain, but that doesn't mean they're great.

I had to read your first sentence several times before I could make any sense of it. I think I know what you’re saying, and if so, I agree with you.
Still slightly confused though....kinda like trying to read Shakespeare back in high school.
I’m bad at stuff.
Did someone ask for a math joke?

You're not. I've had really bad flu this week and knew that sentence was...poor.
The media has predicted "next great QB" for many a young mobile QB over the last 10 years that showed any ability at all to throw.
Kaepernick
Bridgwater
Young
MG3
That's all I got energy for tonight.

You're missing the important fact here: Reid and Co. (at least thus far) aren't putting him behind a garbage O-line.
Mahomes moves like Rodgers. Throws on the run accurately, like Rodgers & yes the coaches are putting him in the best position to succeed.
He does have a little Favre/Jay Cutler gunslinger in him which can get him into trouble. I've seen a few "eff it" throws from Mahomes that should've been picked off.
He's a damn good QB, probably MVP of the league this year & ya'll better get used to it....Thank God the Bears didn't draft him & took TruBizkit instead.

No, just decided not to include it.
Mahomes looks good, but Reid and company are making it relatively easy for him with thier innovation. Little PlayStation water bug receivers are running wide open all over the place 
Mahones looks like the real deal, so far.
I've always like the Chargers since I moved out to Santa Monica but they have been the classic heartbreak team. Flash brilliance then fizzle. I like Rivers and I'm rooting for LA's "secret" team but I can't get too emotionally vested in them.
Yeah, I like Phillip Rivers, but he's way too willing to throw it up for grabs. Heartbreak is right.
