NBA players party harder than anyone. Lol

That is what is so crazy. These athletes try but seldom put 100% of their abilities into their performance. We've seen athletes first hand when they put 100% on there. Vons strip sack against Kansas City. Kyle Williams touchdown. There are times and places where the athlete will dial it up to 100 but oftentimes they throttle. It's amazing what these guys do when they're off time, how many of them don't take it seriously, how many of them are getting drunk and partying more often than not. That they can just wake up and perform at this level is amazing. Rob gronkowski is a great example of this. He could idly perform at an All-Pro level but then there'd be a moment where he dials it up to 100, with focus with willpower and he gets stunning results.

It's 2025, I would expect no less

alexander isn't going to play and Allen owns him

I do get what you're saying, and I appreciate the aspect we're looking at this. But every elite athlete I've known is generally does not let such emotional weight very much their performance. There are times when you could do things by sheer willpower, but that is generally not the result with these athletes Their switch is simply turned on for games regardless. I know they can be more focused or dialed in, I know that a certain level of coaching can make a difference, but I've never truly believed nor heard of a team where it was sheer focus for revenge to make a difference. The Ravens have an outstanding chance to win because they are a solid team with good players. Theor coach has success in opening weeks and preparing. The Ravens also have a lot of experience in beating the bills and the regular season. There's no reason to doubt they can't this opening week. Still, for no two rational reason I believe the bills will win. I don't think I have a basis for saying that because for many reasons I believe the Ravens should win but will not.

... Revenge? Why the hell do fans entertain this notion? They have no more or no less motivation than they did in the playoffs. These guys are doing their job regardless. Them winning week 1 won't mean ***** and they know it.

Why not both?

he was more expensive. BY A LOT

this. and i was there. the year before or after ( i forgot) i was there too...against the jets with two KO returned for TD's.

The ray davis plays bouncing outside with him blocking replaces Hollins.

we already have enough dalton kincaid threads, bud.

think back to that year we had him. he was the #2 but he played like the #3 or #4. I think he can be great at #3-4. Just like McKenzie was the best WR off the bench at #5 or #4 when pressed. In the right package the right players can make a big difference. The Giants showed this with Arch Manning's Uncle, Eli Manning.

Alexander won't be much of a factor if he is in.
