The thought of Ravens fans watching their team lose yet again brightens my day. I'll worry about the Chiefs later.

0-0 tie with a lot of injuries

I vote for the meteor ... or the refs Failing that, much as the pleasure of watching the Chefs lose would be great, I am hoping (in a 51-49% sort of way) for them to win as I think that they have a tougher road to win their division that the Ravens (and neither the Bengals - with or without Burrow - nor the Steelers scare me particularly).

Looks I was wrong about Joe Biden being the smartest and most talented Democrat of all time... Kamal Harris is a level of political genius far above even him... Harris as POTUS in 2028 would be a gift not just to America... But the entire world... And elsewhere...

It is worth saying now that the entire league has played 3 games that the Bills are 9th in total defense (which is officially measured by yards). They are 20th in points given up and 23rd on 3rd down. I expect the soft schedule to help improve those rankings over the next few weeks, but at the same time I think it gives you a sense of what this defense's issue is: They are vulnerable to long drives - they either get you off the field early or you can rumble right on down.

That's what I call trolling. I do it all the time. That's ALSO what I call trolling. I do it all the time.

But the answer to that is we didn't have to worry about Kansas as they weren't good enough to make the play offs. Bills were. That's on them. Not us.

The bloke has serious mental issues that not even a strong economy, secure borders and safe, family friendly neighbourhoods can cure. He needs help.

I’d like to see the chefs lose this one. We have the lead on the ravens and want to keep adding losses to KC. Especially when they get their receivers back. Although, I feel something else is wrong there based on how kelce had been acting. Anyways, who says the ravens are a powerhouse this year? If Henry continues to be subpar, leaning on Lamar isn’t their answer.

I’m sure he was Happy to get that jersey!

No. I don't think it is crazy. I just don't know that I think it was any more likely than it was the way the Bills played it. Was it possible for them to get a stop, sure. It was either way. But they didn't do it. I'm not sure why they were more likely to do it with a running clock. Would that have stopped Tua escaping on 3rd down?

My take on the 2026 class (and I really haven't started diving in yet) is it doesn't look a great class at the premium positions - a lot of people love the QBs but that remains to be seen. Think interior Dline, linebacker, running back will be decent groups with some depth. Agree with the OP there are some edge guys but they aren't really your quick twitch dominant pass rush types. They are your big end 5i types. There will be receivers but maybe not a ton of top names (possibly similar to 2025). I think the 2027 class not just at receiver but everywhere could be a bit of an all timer. But that is VERY early crystal ball gazing and a lot can happen inbetween times.

Well for starters, they forced 3 3rd and longs on one drive. Despite playing poorly on that down they were doing their jobs on the first two downs. So it’s not out of this world, mind blown crazy for the Bills to hold them to a FG. You seem to think it would be though.

I'm looking. He is still meh.

What leads you to believe the defense would have been any more likely to make a stop?

Sure. And I never doubted he was a solid pick. I think Hancock can be too. It isn't a knock on those guys. It is a knock on Beane's priorities. Which are third tight end and backup DB over developmental receiver with explosive traits. He just always seems to find something he values more.

Just keep the Chiefs down.

Well the Normans did invade. About a thousand years ago.

Tuesday morning reflections.... - There was a ton of bad football in the NFL this week even from some of its stronger teams. Not this game. This was an excellent contest between two talented teams; - The Lions demise was definitely prematurely stated after week 1. Even I dropped them from my tier of potential Superbowl winners. I shouldn't have. This team still has enough talent to go all the way; - Kelvin Sheppard (not someone I immediately had down as future NFL DC when he was a 3rd round pick of the Bills in 2011) and his defense won the battle up front. Limited Henry and then when the Ravens were forced to pass swarmed Jackson; - Meanwhile the Ravens defense missing Madubuike and Van Noy really never got hold of the Lions run game and you do wonder a little bit about their depth on that side of the ball; - All of a sudden Derrick Henry is a fumbler! 3 fumbles in the entire season last year, three in 3 games this year... but the Ravens also need to find a way to get Zay Flowers more involved in the game. While Rashod Bateman is a good player as a defensive coach I am happy with him having 6 receptions if it means Zay Flowers is 2 for 13 yards - he is their game breaker. Both of these teams are still potential Superbowl champions. Even if they both have yet to prove it in the post season.

....or just raise the bar 6'.....that would've been a doink miss.

Yes he is, they just have to be up multiple scores
