Touting the O line as top tier but not as good as last year (when I don’t think they were among the best) isn’t supported by the results. Yes the WR room stinks, but it’s not materially different from last year, minus Dalton, who had a depressed sophomore effort last year anyway (was better this year before he went out, granted). Palmer is a WR 3/4 basically swapped for Hollins. His 3+ targets per game aren’t the difference…

Hopefully Fox is a prime Bruce Smith in disguise..... Honestly, no expectations for either player. We know what Spector is and there's a reason Fox was on the couch a few weeks ago. But hey..... we need bodies. Hopefully they can provide something of substance while they are out there.

Definitely Canton bound some day, hopefully a ring (or 4) will cement his legacy.

i believe that Buffalo will make the playoffs as a wildcard, leading to the next question as to where you would be apprehensive to play. New England - An in division opponent, so no location issues a familiar foe. Denver - A long way to travel, time zone difference, altitude adjustment, problematic D but Josh Allen will be super motivated remembering Bradley Chubb/Elway. Jacksonville - They are kind of being overlooked and nobody "fears" them, they keep winning, another score to settle remembering the Tyrod postseason game. Baltimore - I would not feel good travelling there but they are much more variable in performance this year versus the past. Chargers - Similar to Jacksonvile but they don't really have a home field advantage but it'll be a long way to travel. Indianapolis - It will be loud but it is indoors and not too far to travel, you would fear Taylor more than Jones. Houston - The place to ideally avoid, never won there with McD and it will be difficult to be confident against that D. Don't want them to win the South. Pittsburgh - If they make it as the North winners somehow nobody will fear them. Cincinnati - Very unlikely that they would make it as North winners but how I'd feel probably would depend on what happens this week. Category 1 - Feel somewhat confident - NE LAC IND PIT Category 2 - Neutral - JAX BAL CIN Category 3 - Please avoid - DEN HOU We will not play away at Miami or KC if they make it. Need NE to slip up and maybe there is a remote chance to take the division?!

"The worst team to ever win the Superbowl" is something I could live with.

Duly noted.

Agreed, we are in playoff mode now. Every win is a must win to not be out of the playoffs

Just checking in: AWESOME win for OSU! Should have been a beat down last year if we would have passed the ball aggressively down the field. So finally, it feels right again! Congrats to Hartline. We were never going to keep him forever. Good luck to him. Thankful Henry Jr. signed with us after all. I understand the hesitation, but OSU is bigger than Hartline and I think we will roll on pretty well. Waiting with bated breath to see who the OC is going to be. Kelly again? And what about WR coach? We shall see. Really looking forward to the game tonight. I really admire IU. That said, I just don’t think they are likely to overcome the talent gap for 60 min. We shall see. I expect OSU will win by 2 scores+ (but any given day…) Finally, I know it is false hope, but I think OSU should make Patricia the highest paid college coordinator ever and try to build a Bama-like dynasty. Fingers crossed. GO BUCKS!

Josh is a living legend.

What is a proverbial purgatory team? Dak was drafted in 2016. He has gotten tagged and 2 massive extensions. He is 82-52 as starter in Dallas. They have made the playoffs 5 seasons. How many talented teams have we seen held back from even making the playoffs because of just awful QB play? It doesn’t compute to me imo. If you don’t have a top 10 QB, you should be selling off talent to find one. Not praying Kenny Pickett is good enough to back into a WC spot 1 year out of 5.

Alright college kids, let's matriculate the ball down the field! Georgia v Alabama is decent so far.

If anybody has any doubts about Josh’s commitment and fire today, this video squashed that for me. Surprised nobody posted it.

We needed the 1st game against the Patriots while it would have been nice to win the Falcon and Dolphin games if we could have just beaten the Patriots we would be in complete control.

If anybody is hanging out watching some conference championship games, here's a place to talk about 'em if you're interested.

I honestly think that 90% of it is simply about personal experience. A lot of folks haven't been lucky enough to spend a lot of time on a field and learn what really counts. It doesn't make them stupid; it's just that the more experience you have working any particular complex problem, the more you come to understand what's actually important in those complexities and what's just tlts on a bull. It's like an accountant from Raleigh looking to buy a tractor; he doesn't have much experience so the first thing he's going to look at is the paint job. When the reality is that even some farmbilly from the red clay hills of Central Caroline has been elbows deep often enough to know from experience what's important, no matter how big a rube he might be!

GO BUCKS!!! oops… wrong thread… hahaha

I have old Bills avon cologne

They were down to 3rd string tackles....from tackles who aren't good.

Case in point - Dion Dawkins.....as my wife says good for AT LEAST one penalty per game, sadly it seems like the worst time to have it too......weird he bounced back so quickly from the brain knocker......I was allowing myself to see him as addition by subtraction. Rapp is a PERFECT example of this....once he was out.....Bishop really came on.....

In Spectors defence, he did show up on special teams last week and covered his lanes

well part of that not just looking for a better qb but if you can get even average play while saving 60M suddenly you can surround the same tier player with 2-3 all pros. we never fully embraced that roster construction with rookie contract Josh but the proverbial is a purgatory team with a 10-15 qb better downgrading the roster to keep him or taking a guy like dart, nix etc…. Who is a second shelf prospect and really stocking the cupboard. honestly haven’t watched a ton of him in the last year. He might not be the best example but I think not far from that split where it gets interesting. Like might be 1-2 guys above the cut but not far away.

Joey Brrr Yeah - I was looking for the half thumbs-up, half vomit emoji 😛

The moment you understand your thoughts aren't objective

I don’t know if this means anything (probably not) but I’ve noticed on Kalshi that the odds to Buffalo have risen. Earlier today /late last night it had the bills at 69 to 70 percent. It’s at 72 now also the patriots game was 57-43 pats. It’s now even. FWIW
