There will be multiple CBs on the list that Benford is just better than. He is better than Jalen Ramsey and Cooper Dejean, in my opinion, and they are listed.

I'm in the Chicago area. The local talk has been that Williams is not "getting it", regarding the pure-progression system Ben Johnson is installing. Reports are that they've been butting heads over it. I doubt arguing with the HC & throwing temper tantrums in practice drills are endearing him to his teammates either.

$$$ says Collinsworth gets in at least 5 Mahomes references in that broadcast.

Especially when you consider all the money flushed down the toilet just paying Stefon Diggs to simply go away… I get not wanting to overpay the guy, but as you pointed out, going a mil or two over isn’t the end of the world. It certainly isn’t as bad as taking a dead cap hit of $31million, and even then still ending up few bad calls and a Kincaid drop away from the Super Bowl.

lol it's not 'just bad luck' mcdermott literally GAVE MAHOMES to Andy Reid! he's the architect of his own demise! if it happened to any other team it would be absolutely hilarious

He very well could be BUT, both his uncles stayed and played their SR years so I think that factors into it. Also if its the Jets at #1... Hell no, he won't play for them. If its the Giants and Dabol is still there... its possible he goes due to Eli's connections. But my Sooners are going to win the SEC and the National Championship and thats all that matters 😁

Definitely in our hearts, tough across the league. I guess if you want to try to slot him into the back 80-100 where it is very subjective. But that position is just so deep across the league. Even Benford himself might not argue it, considering he just signed a brand new deal and that put him... 19th among CBs. I kinda imagine anyone making the list would be in the top 10 of their position.

That season the Buffalo Bills had the #1 overall defense in the league in both points and yards allowed. The Bills passing defense was so good that season with Poyer and Hyde. My thoughts are that McD was trusting in Leslie Frazier to know what he was doing in that playoff game...and he clearly didn't as he called a "prevent defense"! Mahomes ripped him a new one for it. It's just bad luck that the Chiefs with HC Andy Reid have been the best team in the league the last five years and Reid the best HC. It also helps the Chiefs to have Steve Spagnuolo as their DC as he usually finds a way to have his defense step up in the playoffs. Let's not forget that the 13 second game came down to overtime 36-42 with the Chiefs winning the coin toss and Buffalo never saw the ball again. That led the NFL to make changes in the overtime rules. Anyway, I have no idea why this topic of changing head coaches in Buffalo ever comes up as the ONLY HC better in wins the last five years has been Andy Reid. So, if Andy becomes available then it might be a thought.

again- we have proven that a TD inside 4 minutes does not in fact win. we have actually proven that multiple TDs inside 4 minutes does not win what you are saying is that the offense needs to score w exactly zero seconds left for a lead to be safe. and there is no offense in league history for whom that is a reasonable standard and yet somehow that is exactly where we are w this staff

Is it your little Soda Pop too?! 🤙🕺

I’m willing to accept the Damar Hamlin incident weighed heavily on the players. I don’t know if any coach could mentally prepare a team after something like that. However, people drop hints (with nothing said) that other things were going on before the Bengals game. Whatever else was going on, it was time for players to be adults, and put their best effort in for the millions they earn. I’d hope the coaching staff could remind them of this fact.

How do you know this? When the ticket rep called me 3 or so weeks ago he said I would get the call in 2 weeks. I have seats in the Rockpile currently. Starting to get a little bit of angst that I'm not going to have an opportunity at comparable seats and be offered only seats that are out of my budget.

Hate to see Collinsworth. I thought when he does the Thursday night opener he doesn’t do the Sunday night game. Unfortunately, it looks like I was mistaken.

When we have kept them to lower scores in the regular season the games have still come down to the last 4 minutes. It is just how these two teams play each other. Does the Bills defense have to play better against them in the playoffs? For sure. Does the O have to be able to get it done inside 4 minutes when a touchdown wins? Yep. They have held them to lower scores in the regular season. And they haven't won in blowouts.

Fantastic reputation as astronaut, Naval Aviator and individual.

I also love Classical music, even thought it's not my go-to type of music. My wife and I were in Wellington (NZs capitol) a couple months ago to visit our daughter. I saw that the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra had a show on when were we there, so I bought a pair of tickets for Mrs Things and I. The experience was pure magic. I had totally forgotten how incredible a live orchestra can sound in a well designed theatre. The sound of the strings felt like they were coming down from heaven itself, and I sat mesmerized for the next hour. I'm very proud of my home stereo system, but seeing a live performance is the way to go. I'll never pass up another opportunity.

Somehow going from $11M to $15M will cripple the entire franchise. I dont think we should or will go to $15M, but cripes...

It has nudes

Since 2010 -Teams that finish a season with a QB who has a QBR of 65-69.99 are 475-288 = 62.25% -Teams that finish a season with a QB who has a QBR of 70+ are 582-208 = 73.67% Allen has three 70+ finishes since 2020 and two 65-70 finishes. So every year. That is a massive sample above. Teams with great QB's win and win a lot. The Bills/McD are 73.49% in this time. McD is the best in the league at turnover differential with a system and structure in place that leads to an unusual consistency. Two qualities which give him a leg up on at least 60-70% of NFL HC's. But you can also win a hell of a lot of games in this league with great QB play. So it's really hard to place a true value on what McD brings to team at this stage in the process. I think it's more clear what he brings to a rebuilding franchise. Which could be among the best in the league. Maybe he is also the guy you want now, but separating his value from Allen along with the postseason is not exactly easy. It never is with great HC and QB pairings, but at the very least those pairings usually have a Super Bowl attached to allow for for both to get the flowers.

Nice! I have a photo I am trying to post. I drove to that sign with a Bills Flag, and I live streamed on Facebook for a couple of hours!

My favorite stat from that game is that the Chiefs only converted one 3rd down. 99% of the time that would mean a dominant defensive game, but in our case it meant our DEF was so incredibly bad we couldn't even force 3rd downs.

I don’t care if this is unpopular and I do hope that he’s finally successful. BUT I gave up on him being fired after the consistent game mismanagements during the regular season and horrible defensive adjustments in the playoffs year after year. Blown multiple chances at home-field advantage and getting us to the Super Bowl and he hasn’t been fired yet because we have the best player in football at the helm to make the season look like a “success”. He’s like a cat and has 9 lives maybe more. But here’s hoping this is the year he doesn’t botch us getting a one seed since we have the easiest schedule we’ve had in a long time and there’s really no excuse not to and maybe he will figure out how to get ready for the Chiefs in the playoffs and not just roll over to daddy Reid and Uncle Spags. 🤞🏻 🙏🏻

One of the poster here even has it as his name, so I truly believe Trump is Mentally Fit

probably. He'll be on it next year now that he's getting some recognition from hard knocks.
