  1. Today was fun although I'm gutted about Tre. But my pre-game position still stands: we'll see what's what in the playoffs.
  2. Or McDaniels. Nice player, but it's the really good system and outstanding talent.
  3. I think that kind of understates the loss but it's technically right.
  4. Would love to see Sherfield get the LOS plays Harty is getting, that's a great call. I think Harty will eventually become modestly productive but it will be via actual downfield routes.
  5. Tanking his market value like this is crazy. It's probably already toast, but still. Elam is an NFL caliber player. I think it's in the bills best interest not to trade him for peanuts, but to hang on to him until we need him.
  6. He's a great fit for our buffalo nickel, but I'm not sure starting tomorrow against this fish and their passing game is going to endear him to the casuals.
  7. I'm sure I've said crow worthy things about Bernard, but I'll also flag that during the red and blue scrimmage he popped to me when others were talking about Dodson. Player of the day out there...but that's the last we saw of him. I, too, got scared off by that. Thought kirksey was a lock to start. What an impressive performance by him so far, and he deserves a lot of love.
  8. Two top teams meeting early in the season. One thing is for sure: we'll overreact whatever the result.
  9. I think we need to be patient. We gotta figure out the "can Gabe be a reliable receiver" first.
  10. Agreed. And I hate to pile on but his footwork on that missed TD...sure seemed like a lot of time to drag that foot instead of taking a large step (admittedly way easier to critique in slow mo than actually accomplish)
  11. Three weeks in is still a really hard moment to draw durable conclusions. But I do think the 9ers look excellent. The dolphins are high flying but I'll be curious what they look like in week 12 etc.
  12. I actually think the offense has improved from the peak of disjointedness last season. It's not all the way polished, but I thought the raiders game in particular was smooth. Yesterday left a lot of meat on the bone. I didn't like all the 2nd-and-long weak runs at the strength of their line at all. I wish Gabe was a better separator outside of long routes.
  13. Really happy with the OLine. I'm looking forward to watching again. Last week, they gave a lot of help to Brown and the play designs were great (it wasnt as pretty when Brown was singled up with Crosby). I'm really curious to see if Brown had a good game wrt his 1:1 matchups.
  14. There might be some truth there, especially with the notoriety of the crew we had today.
  15. I think I was more concerned with an earlier incompletion to diggs over the middle (in terms of an ill-advised Josh throw)
  16. Defense wins this one. Offense was moving pretty well I thought. But undisciplined penalties and then the 4th down play call was unpleasant.
  17. Yep. Great perspective on this one. I think the game comes down to the OLine vs DLine matchup and our willingness to pound the ball.
  18. Post-war drops in partisan animosity were (imo) likely tied to a new widespread medium (TV), limited outlets (3 news channels?), and stringent news regulation (FCC regs). Then greenspan, cable news and the internet...woof. We're right back to the newspapers and rancor of the old days. But I'm rambling lol. I hope this bears story is a nothingburger
