1. Week 5 Reactions
-Biggest Lesson Learned (DKrom: Brian Daboll is showing why coaching MATTERS, Hal: Mike Tomlin is guaranteed to have the first losing season of his career)

-DUNCE of the Week (DKrom: Carl Cheffers, Hal: Brandon Staley)
2. For the first time since Week 7 of 2015, both the Giants and Jets have winning records. Which one of the two New York teams are you more bullish on long-term, this season and beyond?
3. It has not been a good start to the season for either the defending Super Bowl champion Rams nor the runner-up Bengals. Both sit and 2-3 with sub-par OL play handcuffing their offenses. Which one of these teams would you say is more likely to miss the playoffs?
4. Truth or Exaggeration
-The Raiders will win AT LEAST 5 of their next 6 games
-2022 will be the final season of Matt Ryan's career
-Justin Fields' performance against the Vikings was EXACTLY the kind of game he needed and there are signs he may be turning a corner in his development
-The NFL's new concussion protocols are too strict
-The Panthers should trade Brian Burns and/or D.J. Moore in order to get more 2023 draft capital
-Rhamondre Stevenson is about to run away with the Patriots lead RB job
-If the Bills cannot become a more balanced offense than they are right now, they will not win Super Bowl LVII let alone make it there
5. Bills at Chiefs
-For the first time in history, Patrick Mahomes is an underdog at home. Do you think the Chiefs should use that as bulletin board material for this week?
-Do you anticipate Andy Reid using A LOT of his patented screen game in order to mitigate the mismatch between the Chiefs OT's and the Bills edge rushers?
-Other key matchups: Stefon Diggs vs. Trent McDuffie, Travis Kelce vs. Bills LB's
-Picks
