  1. If they get Caleb Williams or Drake Maye they aren't just going to be bad because they are Jets. Franchise QB's change franchises. See the Bengals among many examples.
  2. That and the Jets gotta' win the gimmee games so that they don't draft high enough to get one of the top QB prospects in the draft.
  3. The way I see it, the current Chiefs team just needs another receiver..........which I suspect they will add by the deadline. Not having another very good team in division gave them the opportunity to give young players a chance to step up. They might even get Juju back for next to nothing and be able to basically run back the same playmaking personnel that put the 49ers D in a blender on the way to a SB victory last year. Also the Chiefs defense looks notably better so far this year than any of the previous times they've played 49ers so I would expect same type of multiple score win. I think the Bills match up better against KC than the 49ers and that's been evidenced in their last few meetings.
  4. The guest interviews are typically told most of the questions they are going to be asked before they come on so that they can prepare.........the order probably didn't match how he was told to prep.
  5. This has to be a troll job or you are her Bills fan husband. She isn't as terrible as she was initially..........but she is still bad with her monotonous long-winded rambling.
  6. Sounds like you are one of those folks who just has supreme confidence in Shanahan despite Mahomes whipping hizass in all 3 career meetings. Add Josh Allen to that and Shanny is 0-4 against them and all losses by 10 points or more.
  7. Meh. I think there are a lot of people who think the running game is making a full comeback in importance because the teams used as prime examples, like SF and Philly, are doing it with some of the best combinations of playmakers at the receiving spots and in a conference with relatively little QB talent. Indy ain't got the playmakers in the receiving game and they are in a conference full of franchise QB's so who cares. Put SF in the AFC West and they are a wild card team. Put the Eagles in the AFC East........same.
  8. Ehh.........Gabe Davis averaged 77 yards per game in his first 4 games played last year and just 55 ypg this season. He had almost 6 targets per game last year...........that proved to be far too many...........the very few things Gabe can do well are things you don't want Josh Allen trying to force 6 times per game. Personally, I think about 4 per game is just right for him.
  9. Yes, agreed it is the pedestrian average fan thing to do. That's my point. If you want to be there to make noise for the defense but you have a weak bladder or something.......you go to concession/restroom when they are on offense and not at halftime like a tourist. Trust me that we've barely scratched the surface on the amount of disruption that crowd noise could make. I doubt more than 20% of fans are even making any noise at all on defense and it's still pretty loud. For those of us that attended the 2020 social distance divisional round game against Baltimore...........that was where it became clear just how much room we have for improvement. That sparse crowd was loud as hell because it was a really rabid, committed group of fans that were almost all making noise.
  10. Yeah Sherfield is not known as a hands guy. He dropped a shoulda'-been TD in the playoff game against the Bills last season. And the Shakir pass was so remarkably on point that Shakir should get a drop for that.
  11. It was pleasantly loud........fans were definitely up for this big matchup. But the stands were half-empty on the Dolphins first drive of the second half. Not enough awareness for a should-be great football crowd.
  12. I felt like Dorsey used the Raiders game to sharpen the execution of the offense. I do believe that part of the issue in the Jets game was the fact that the offense hadn't played much live football together yet. So I had no problem with them throwing the ball around in a blowout against a team that had little or no chance of coming back. And yeah I don't believe that QB run was the initial call. The sea just parted so he ran in.
  13. Well baseball isn't really a quick-serve sport like football so unless you are listening to talk radio the schadenfreude doesn't automatically arrive the day after losses. As disappointing as an 82-80 season is for the Yankees we still got to see Cole win the Cy Young, Judge continue to play like an all-time great for the 100 games he played, German pitch a perfect game etc.. It wasn't a lost season there were 82 very enjoyable days and though they waited too long to do it..........they did eventually bring up most of their near-ready prospects and gave them those valuable at bats/pitches so that they have a better chance of stepping in and playing much better in 2024. Finishing with the best record since the end of August with a lineup with 4-6 yutes in the starting lineup every day was promising. And also now it appears that Hal might be willing to address the over-reliance on analytics. Next thing would be not clinging to dead money. No excuse to have the owner on the other side of town with a fraction of the revenue out-spending you by nearly $100M in a sport without a salary cap. Yankees should never NOT have the highest payroll. There were times in some of the best Steinbrenner years where their payroll was double that of the next team.
  14. Yeah, sounds about right. But it wasn't a post about top 100 lists it was about a Yankees prospect winning an award and acknowledging a great pro debut season for Thorpe. Yanks have more than their share(literally 1/20th of that list you referenced) of prospects in top 100 and as some of those graduate to the majors next season they will be followed up by another wave of them. Cardinals system was overrated and now it's pretty barren...........but don't despair..........by virtue of their last place finish this season they will be drafting near the top of round 1 so you'd think they'd get a good player.
  15. It wasn't just a camp scrap.........it was the all-time Bills team fight moment. Parker got dropped on his head by a man he outweighed by 100# and got cut soon after. Bills fans were delighted because he didn't have the feet to play tackle, in their opinion. KC got themselves a very good lineman..........Bills got Jerry Ostroski at RT for the next two years.
  16. Be honest........when 5'11" Damien Covington picked Glenn Parker up and body slammed him in camp and it was caught on video and replayed over and over on ESPN.......did you or did you not think that Parker wasn't long for the NFL? The second act of his career turned out to be very good.
  17. You aren't wrong that Frazier might not have been good enough, in the Bills situation, to win a SB with.........but in fairness to your post being relegated.........it was a LONG WAY to go to make a pretty common fan point. It's not out of the box for fans to think they can't win a SB with so-and-so.
  18. Yeah.......in the thread you CREATED about Spencer Brown being the biggest problem with the Bills offense. By "hate" I don't mean personal hate..........I mean disdain for their performance. And I don't believe it's accurate to say that he is "unchanged" because the quality of his play has improved. But Brown is a work in progress. Like Glenn Parker........I suspect if the back injury doesn't take him down he will become a quality starting OL in the NFL for a long time. Sucks that he came in having barely played in college and having played 7 on 7 football in HS but he's got the athletic talent and temperment to be very good(for a RT) and is gradually getting better. I wouldn't be opposed to benching him if he's outplayed but sometimes you gotta' draft and develop........and not use first round picks or spend top dollar.......on non-premium positions like RT.
  19. The Pats elevated their game in the playoffs and pulled off one of the greater upsets in AFCCG history..........a big part of that was having two stud receiving threats(who played outstanding, btw) thru the playoffs. And they needed it in that track meet with the Chiefs. That Rams team they beat also had stud receivers and didn't score in that SB, btw......sometimes defense rules a certain day. Nobody is arguing that every SB has been a track meet. And no, Cole Beasley was not as good of a football player as Julian Edelman. As much as we hated him he was a great player for a few years and that was in the middle of that stretch.
  20. They caught like 17 of 19 combined targets for 220 yards in the SB win over the Rams..........absurdly good performance by a star receiver who was in the middle of 3 straight years where he was a legit WR1 and a HOF TE who is basically the same age as Travis Kelce........he wasn't some washed out player. Terrible take, dave.
  21. Oh c'mon now dave........you don't think Edelman and Gronk were stars? What we are talking about is that having two top receiving talents has been critical to teams having success deep into the playoffs. And Edelman and Gronk played like the stars that they were in that AFCCG and SB and Edelman had a buck and half himself in the divisional round. The Rams didn't have a top WR behind "slot receiver" Cooper Kupp in 2021 either...........unless you count OBJ playing up to his considerable ability in the playoffs as having a top WR2.........which I do because that's ultimately the point.
  22. Yankees Drew Thorpe earns prospect equivalent of the 2023 Cy Young award for all levels of minor league baseball https://www.mlb.com/news/yankees-drew-thorpe-earns-prospect-pitcher-of-the-year-award
  23. If I had the proverbial nickel for every time someone like you on TSW put so much effort into being wrong.........only to watch me be proven right and then never own up to their ill-found takes and pretend that they had never held a strong opinion on the subject.........well that would be a lot o' nickels PB. Just sayin'
  24. Hey I have nothing personal against Gabe Davis........he was a great value draft pick and makes an excellent 3rd option for a QB like Josh Allen. But he's limited. Not having a better WR2 option isn't his fault.......he works hard and maximizes his potential IMO............that's just on the Bills for not putting him in the best position to not end up a scapegoat.
