If we never play Burrow again it will be too soon. Ive never seen a QB that we match up worse against (at least with McD's soft zone defense and weak pass rush). He has looked like a surgeon against us just slicing us up effortlessly. The playoff loss, the regular season loss and even the start of the Hamlin game, Burrow was just moving with ease through our defense. We might have beaten him had we got pass the Chiefs in the 13 seconds game as he hadnt quite got to the elite level yet, but we never got the chance. Since Burrow came to the NFL we have never figured out how to confuse him or neutralize him. He seems to read our defense easily like an early reading book for kids.

Henry will rush for 300+ yards for sure in the 2nd half .................lol lol lol

philosophically mcd lives in fear of the deep pass, will allow teams to run, and wants to generate run stuffs, tfl, sacks, and most of all turnovers. if we were to make an infinite game out of all of his seasons where, where opponents gain points and yards over time and we gain points and yards over time, the D has been actually quite good. if we look at average game performance, it has also been quite good. where it has failed is that it simply does not provide a high degree of difficulty vs specific teams in high leverage games (every kc playoff game, this year i'll say miami only, new england was lost by turning the ball over this season, atlanta was one of the worst d performances ever for a half, then mcd took the family business back from his wretched fail son babybabich). i think the d roster is a mess with the injuries, but there is an element of mcd being stubborn and sticking to hard to his guns wrt his philosophical goals (putting in less mental mistakes but crippled AJ klien over mistake prone but athletic phenom rookie dorian williams vs kc in 2023, only punt forced in the game came from williams just being a baller and making plays). he will keep an obvious bad athlete like damar on the roster because he likes the steadiness rather than shake it up and put in someone with higher variance guy who can actually make plays. while i respect his bent towards conservatism when it comes to deep passes, we get trucked so hard with explosive runs, and in selling out to just not allow teams to attempt the at best hard passes down the field, sort of make it easy mode for them to just line up and run to move the chains and get explosive scores. it puts us in a bind sometimes where missing one LB or one pass rusher creates too obvious of a hole that the opponents can exploit over and over again. my fear is that he will play a hobbled 7 and 8 (i will admit, bernard did look a lot better vs tampa) and the injuries up front will be too much for our second line to overcome, but if we can get ed back and be healthier upfront, and have more burn for williams and thompson, and have a back 4 of poy/hancock, bishop, max, and christian we might be able to make 4 stops/turnovers in each of our playoff games which is enough to win convincingly based on how allen and cook and co perform in the bright lights.

Of course but there's still a lot of moving pieces for lineman and the skilled position players especially in a gruden offense A quarterback has to be extremely smart in his offense because the play call is extremely tough.. but the linemen also have 150 different verbiages being used Every single player on the team has to know what scatter to West right tight is... And then listen for their job in the play... With a lot of different personnel groupings and formations off of that... It's not an easy digestion John gruden probably has 1,000 plays in his book.. and condenses it to maybe 120 or 150 play on the call sheet... But you still need to know those 1,000 plays technically

Are you still planning to do some holiday shopping, or is it all going to pay for your beef and eggs?

But the stats are that the Bills are 23rd (10th best) in missed tackles. https://sports.betmgm.com/en/blog/nfl/nfl-teams-with-most-missed-tackles-this-season-bm10/#:~:text=One of the biggest keys to having,the most missed tackles during the 2025 The Bills tackle well. Yards after contact is a different stat. Not every contact is a missed tackle.

I was thinking the same crazy thing if Knox is a cap casualty next year.

We are all eagerly awaiting the release of The Files.

Apropos of nothing... https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-monitors-return-of-supersonic-flight-for-potential-european-expansion (The original WSJ article is paywalled so I got this instead)

the charges were dismissed not sure if you know that

He's definitely a separator. Like 100%.

I was told he was floated in many trade proposals

no but WTF

A player only has to concentrate on what part of the play call relates to him unless you're the QB.

Bills 24 Texans 10… the Texans D keep it close till the end but the game is never truly in doubt.

If we go round 1 WR a guy I really like is Chris Bell out of Louisville

Remember this?

I don't know what the perspective is here? The Colts were up 10-7 and failed to convert a 4th and goal at the end of the half. We go the length of the field, score a TD. Colts miss a 33 yard FG in the 3rd quarter. We take a 14 point 4th quarter lead and still need to get a stop on the final drive to win it. Colts finish with 450+ yards, 25+ first downs. We aren't going to win most of those games. We won that day. How is this an example that our defense can provide support when it matters?

AI suggests a new wide range of outcomes for convictions associated with the Espionage Act. 10 years, 30 years, Life. Trump is 79. The math is the math. Now settle down, drink your milf and eat your cookies. It’s nap time.

When has Higgins shown to be a number 1?

this guy was too much of a head case for the Steelers to handle— a team that has the most experience handling the biggest head case WRs?! I don’t think Beane will suddenly go anti-process for a guy like this.

He's played great in Dallas opposite CeeDee Lamb. Yet he struggled at times in Pittsburgh and had a bit a diva personality. Personally I don't think he deserves WR1 money. Is he an improvement, yes? Is he a significant improvement and aligns with our offense? To me no and if meant preventing re-signing Bosa? Yeah no thanks.

The Buffalo Bills. Picking a team and sticking with it is more ingrained in British sporting culture. You make your bed you better lay in it, my friend. Booking fees were £40 for a couple of tickets as well. Priced us out of watching a couple of teams we have little feeling for. Unless they do something to rectify the pricing we’ll only be going to games which our teams are involved in. And that’s just Bills and Cowboys.

I can't be sure -- what was BIDEN'S reason for keeping them secret? I think Trump wanted to get Libs/Dems/Rinos all clamoring for the Files To Be Released. Trump was the one who got the ball rolling on Epstein if you'll recall. Epstein was arrested while Trump was in office.

They screwed the pricing up this year. Removing the season ticket option and then hiking ticket prices. I'd expect some reversion next year. Because I genuinely think they priced themselves out.
