    From ESPN (late August): "The Commanders' offensive line allowed 48 sacks in 2022, the seventh-most in the NFL. ESPN also had Washington ranked 26th in pressure percentage." 

     

    If Floyd is healthy, the D-line could get some real heat on Howell, who has good pocket presence but tends to hold onto the ball waiting for the deep routes to open up. With a strong rush and an improved secondary, that should translate into sacks and interceptions. You never know, but I'll be watching Rousseau and Oliver in particular, and maybe blitzes from Bernard and Milano.


    Be patient today and let the Commanders make the first of many mistakes.

    A bit off-topic but probably not worth its own thread. 

     

    Is it just my brain playing tricks on me or did NFL players use to show a hate for the other team more-so in the past than they do now?

     

    What made me think of this is an interview I saw with Tom Brady. He mentioned that he is not interested in being friends with his opponents. He is there to beat your head in and specifically said, “I don’t know how you can want to crush the competition. But then have dinner with them the next night.”

     

    Am I off-base or were more players aligned with Toms philosophy in the 70, 80’s and even 90’s, more so than today where players are hugging each other midfield after the game and exchanging jerseys?

     


    I think your brain is playing tricks on you 😎.

     

    Kidding aside, there’s probably some truth to what you’re saying, but the world is so different now versus then too.  The NFL has changed a ton, there’s now social media so that everyone can stay more connected, etc.  But then again, I was just a kid back in the 80s and 90s, so perspective from those

    older than I is probably more enlightened.

    It's good value to take Buffalo +140 and Miami +105.  Almost zero chance you lose both, IMO.

    Good point, prob a nice arbitrage opportunity, especially if you’re able to throw a lot of money down on both.

    Dolphins are basically even money to win the division according to Vegas.  -105 from Fan Duel and +105 on Draft Kings.  Bills are close behind at +140 and +110 respectively.


    Everyone should get their money on the Bills now.  When we beat the Dolphins in a couple weeks, these odds will change big time.  Our boys gonna be rolling.
