Just looking at the 2017 draft, Mahomes went #10, Bears drafted Trubisky #2, both the Titans and the Jaguars passed on Mahomes. Titans chose Corey Davis WR from Michigan at #5 and the Jags chose Fournette RB LSU at #4.

Buffalo won't win that challenge, defensive back never had control!

There was a nuance in that situation, though ...... the Bills were starting the conversions attempt from the 1-yardline instead of the 2-yardline, due to a penalty on the Chiefs.

I might have gone for 2 in that situation also, regardless of the score ...... not to chase the points, but to take advantage of what was a considerably easier 2-point conversion.

True, but they took points off the board, and if the Chiefs get a FG here, Bills will trail by 8 instead of 7.

As I said, I probably would have gone for it regardless of the score.

Even if I were up by 9 points, I still would have gone for the 2 because you can't pass up an opportunity to get an easy conversion from the one-yardline ...... and if you can't get one yard, then maybe it isn't your team's day.

Marcus Mariota was only 23 years-old at that time, and he had just come off of an excellent season in 2016 in which he had 26 TD's, 9 INT's, and a QB rating of 95.6.

Mariota was a mobile quarterback who was playing much better than Anthony Richardson was playing at that same point in his career ...... the Titans may have thought that they had their QB of the future, and I couldn't blame them for thinking that considering the circumstances that I pointed out.

Hindsight is always 20/20, I agree that the Titans thought they already had their franchise QB, even the Jaguars believed Bortles was their QB of the future...the team that really blew it was the Bears, Mahomes would likely have done for them what he did for KC, maybe not 2 SBs in a row but would have turned them into a winner for years to come and likely got them a championship at some point!

Yeah, these dummies just never learn. Not really impressed with Mcdummy. Just goes to show what a great QB can do for you.

Hey Spike, good to see you out here, good luck in the Soda Picks Championship!
