What is more worrying in Kansas City, the weakness of the air game or the lack of defensive pressure?
The defensive, without a doubt. It is something that still sounds weird, because the quarterback of this team is Patrick Mahomesbut the Kansas City Chiefs reached the last three Super Bowls based on the solid performance of a defensive that compensated the irregularity of their attack.
Somehow, despite the domain of Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil, the defensive managed Justin Herbert And when he did, it was with load packages, that is, with five or more men.
While Kansas City's offensive experiences, again, injury and absences problems in the group of receptors that prevent Mahomes from setting up a consistent air game, the defensive must, again, take the step forward if the chiefs want to stay as a contestant in 2025. Ivis aburto
Will the offensive system of the 49ers allow Mac Jones to do a good job replacing Brock Purdy?
Yes, despite the lesions in ability positions -the receiver Jauan Jennings and the closed wing George Kittle– That limit their options to distribute the ball, San Francisco has healthy the corridor Christian McCaffrey And that relieves a lot of pressure for the Quarterback position, which should not load with the weight of doing all the work.
Wait a remarkable performance of McCaffrey, Brian Robinson Jr. e Isaac Guerendo Not only by land but with receptions leaving the backfield, in addition, Ricky Pearsall It can contribute to open a defensive that will grant very little.
Jones will not have a spectacular day; New Orleans allowed only 276 total yards to Arizona last week, but the pin will do enough to win against a rival who has no knocker power in attack and who faces a defensive of San Francisco who, if he knows how to do well, is to press his rivals.
During the preseason, when playing mostly with substitutes, Jones completed 17 of 23 passes for 209 yards without touchdowns. The problem is that two of its six incomplete passes were interceptions. On Sunday, the 49ers will ask you not to risk the ball and will have more competent receivers to catch your shipments.
If they are fans of the niners, they are calm, because they will add their second victory of the season, but if they like Fantasy Football, accept my advice and huyan de Jones, because it is not the answer to their teams. – Erick Cervantes there
How long will the honeymoon between Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers?
In fact, Rodgers' idyll with the Pittsburgh Steleers was one minute to end last week, but the 60 -yard field goal of Chris Boswell He prevented defeat against the New York Jets.
In fact, the honeymoon between them will not necessarily break depending on the triumphs and defeats. The tension will come when the poor performance of the offensive line compromises the health of the veteran pin.
As seen last weekend, Rodgers continues with great aim and ease of reading rival defensive. The problem is that, at your age, you clearly do not have your legs to escape enemy pressure.
The stability of the Steleers offensive is at a Rodgers injury to get lost and not, they will not spend more than three weeks for this to happen. – Alfonso Mancilla
Can Bills meet the expectations with Josh Allen's talent and a permissive defensive?
In the first instance, it is worth clarifying that just a week and we must not overcome what happened in the Buffalo Bills debut.
That said, it is evident that Buffalo's inability to stop the land attack and if that facet does not improve, they can hardly reach the proposed goal.
Josh Allen It is a huge talent that will make the Bills protagonists while he is behind the center, but the secret of success is to have a complementary team. This is where McDermott has been criticized, since the defensive is, in theory, his specialty and when we review the matches in which Buffalo lost to Kansas City in the playoffs, it has been that unit that has been duty.
I trust that Bills will correct this aspect, but if that does not happen, it may be time to look in the direction of another chief coach for the next season, to try to take advantage of the generational talent that is Allen. – Sebastián M. Christensen
Is Jordan Love the best NFC quarterback?
No. The best quarterback is currently NFC is Jalen Hurtswho, at times, seems to be undervalued.
Hurts has been more consistent and has played more than Love in the NFL, is more versatile in its game, either when running or launching, it has “touchdowns” in its DNA and can better recognize defensive and maximize opportunities. – Carlos Nava
Was it a calendar start accident or the Lions will really miss their former coordinators Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn?
It was an accident. The Detroit Lions faced one of the best NFC teams in divisional duel in the Lambeau Field, to some Green Bay Packers that are a solid team on both sides of the ball.
In spite of showing without rhythm, without the forcefulness of last year and without impact on the land game, it will be a matter of time for the Lions to begin to enter into rhythm and in coordination with the talent in their roster.
A game cannot define all the path of the season.
Before the Chicago Bears, the Lions have a good opportunity at home and it is not about crushing the rivals, it is only a matter of winning the games and the starting point is to do things better with a better plantation and execution. – Pablo Viruega
