Honestly I think that's the bigger long term effect. Even if the chiefs look mortal we all kind of assumed they'd rally to some extent by end of season. If the Ravens skid hard and early and lose most of their D I honestly don't know if they can keepup

Walker is still hit and miss, but when it's a hit it's one hell of a splash play and we badly need those.

hey it could be a tie

For all those upset at struggling, we are watching the Chargers Chargering it to the Giants

Alec Anderson and Hawes?

Shakir lives!

It's gameday people! Man do I appreciate the people locked into early mode because everyone else is still asleep

Pretty much. the Eagles threw the DBs they drafted to the wolves and come the SB they were getting pick sixes on Mahomes

I honestly think the Bills kicked out on schedule in that the young guys have time to get their feet under them with the suspensions and then the vets back for when things tighten up. Cover One pointed out some of Walkers hiccups but the potential is still incredible

Here's where I saw the difference is between Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. Lamar has polished his skills to a playstyle that in the right offense (which he has) he's nearly impossible to beat. Josh has taken his skill set and found multiple ways to win. There are games where he needs to throw it 40 times. There are games where he needs to be patient & take what the defense gives him. There are games where he has to carry the ball for hard runs. There are games where he needs to run RPO and hand it off to Cook. Injuries affect all teams, but Lamar is so dangerous because of Derrick Henry whereas Josh can make something happen no matter who you roll out with him.

I mean, let's kick the tires near the trade deadline and see what we have and how much cap there is to work with buuuuuuut If you aren't going to push your chips in now, when are you going to? The AFC East looks terrible outside of the Bills. KC and Baltimore are limping out of the gate. Houston has fallen off a cliff. I appreciate what the Chargers and Colts are doing but can they keep it up? The Bills have what appears to be an extremely favorable schedule. If not now, when?

so...let's get this straight: having an OC call a balanced offense and not force feeding the ball to an aging diva can make QB play...better? 🤯

just but in Jackson Hawes! He can do anything! 🤪 But seriously I think we have the people to at least put Brown on a snap count

One of the things I liked about Pettine's time (Rex disciple) was that he knew that he had something special in the Dareus, Kyle and Mario combo but on base sets would roll in a 5 tech (which is a lot easier to find than a 0 tech) to gum up run lanes and give those three one on ones. Plus Hughes rotating in for double digit sacks Man we had some amazing defensive talent that got wasted.

True. I skipped them for my quick rundown as they've mostly faded from use. that said you DO get players who break the mold. Wade Phillips runs a 3-4 but found himself with Bruce Smith and Phillips knew it would be a waste to keep a HoF talent run sealing

Long story short it's the lineman's general assignment. 0-tech: Directly over center, in charge of the gaps between the Center & Guards. Ted Washington 1-tech: attacks hole between center and guard. Dareus 3-tech: attacks between guard and Tackle. Kyle Williams, Ed Oliver 5-tech: DE in a 3-4, or run sealer in 4-3 7-tech: standard all purpose 4-3 DE. Groot. 9-tech: speedy edge DE or pass rushing OLB. Hughes, Solomon the point the article is trying to make that Walker looks like just a big heavy guy but is showing a surprising amount of speed and footwork instead of just shooting the gap.

I just keeping thinking of that Hospital Ball Russ threw up in that game. I don't know how good Dart is, but I don't think he's trying to get Nabers killed

It's a tough one because as much as I think the Colts and Chargers honestly look good, I would still take them in a playoff match in a heartbeat over the Chiefs or Ravens. It's really tough, but at the moment I am saying Ravens for a few reasons: 1) I have faith with the Bills vs the Chiefs in November but I want another game buffer 2) I don't think some magic spell will be undone in four weeks, but yes, I expect the Chiefs to look better once Worthy and Rice return so I want losses stacked NOW 3) I still think the Chiefs make the playoffs. I have a hard time believing that they won't. Buuuuuut holy moley they don't have an easy schedule I see an outside chance of them being edged

As much as I think the man doesn't deserve 2 MVPs and I am utterly sick of Lamar Truthers screaming about how Josh robbed him, I agree that Lamar is at this moment probably neck and neck with Allen in the regular season QB play. He's good and we don't have to tell ourselves that he's bad to feel better about Josh. To the Ravens credit, they have had a murderers row stretch to open. The opener was a heartbreaker, the Browns are not the complete pushover, the Lions were always going to be a tough ride and now the Chiefs? But yes, the idea that "the only ones who can beat the Ravens are the Ravens" is looking a bit tired at the moment. I've seen enough sample size to say that they have issues closing out games.

I've seen people complaining about the Bills schedule and while I tend to dismiss those kinds of things (opponents and home/away get set the moment the regular season ends) I cant deny that the Bills got a softer start the year to get through suspensions and injury while giving the young guys reps. But to their credit they have made the most of it. Next week you see the 0-3 Phins play the 0-3 Jets and a badly struggling Chiefs team plays the Ravens who will be coming off a huge game on a short week. If the Bills keep taking care of business they could build one hell of a lead

I think Wilsom just redefined "hospital ball". Three players going for the same pass?

Sadly kickers are like racehorses. Once they spook you might never get them back

I know I didn't. I was actually thinking more 3 WR...and that's the thing, I think they still could. They can go heavy or spread

And this gave me PTSD flashbacks to that Food Fight movie
