has been their best for a month and is their best are two different standards. Like I said, totally open to buying arguments either way but I think the provocative nature of my comment strongly underscores that it shouldn’t be a season crippling injury for this roster with 4 other guys that are very legit Unlike a Von Miller who actually is their best defensive lineman without question

allen isn’t the problem that doesn’t mean Allen couldn’t do things differently in some situations. in an important game like this, against a team we may be later meeting in the playoffs and using this as a decider of who gets to host it…. I would’ve been ok with letting him play a little looser once it was clear that the energy levels were off. Doesn’t have to be dumb and taking on a lb 7 yards short or 2 yards past the sticks- but a few runs, and putting the team on his back for a bit wouldn’t have upset me.

Vonn groot ed o floyd daquan ill buy arguments contrary but i don’t think it’s absurd either.

Mahomes was hobbling around the field in the Super Bowl. Kelce is injured right now i suspect you don’t pay attention to whether their 5th best DL hurts his pec though as you aren’t hyper focused on their roster

forget best option. There’s no way he’s a reasonable option.

teams go through injuries. We won’t be the only.

dodson had 50 some odd snaps and Dorian 30 some odd…. Milano was 11 of the 88 total so seems Dodson had the heavier lift yesterday

I’m betting Jones fracture based on the action paired with X-rays and all the foot chatter

we just aren’t scheming up any of these guys at any particular advantage

No that is what im calling for design some runs. Fire some darts. it’s not a 20 game strategy but down with no tempo against a crucial opponent? Mainline some capri Sun into the man where’s the sunny delight?!)!

that’s what happens when everyone is hurt

Give Josh some sugar on the sideline

Feels like a great game to pull out some Josh magic. slow start, injuries, conference foe for playoff seeding. I’d not be opposed to a little bit of let him loose.

plus many of the southern markets are VERY close to Central American cities.

I’ll admit I recalled it being second half. I’ll gladly retract that bit of comment. that’s right though - the “hey guys- brb” never to be seen again was top notch weird. I love oddball stories like that. People are so strange.

Difference between doing it on a game ending play, and Josh doing jumping guys trying to get to the check out line in the grocery story

wasn’t it without even a goodbye to teammates and coaches? I recall stories of him disappearing

or is it like looking up the return address on the letter to the editor? he publicly used information that would be identifiable in easy and obvious methods. This wasn’t any super sleuthing

Christian Watson being the wr off the board after elam JSN, zay flowers, Addison all right ahead of Kincaid it’s not like it’s a wasteland around our usual picks. if he’s not a guy you want to pay as a good WR2, maybe he’s not that good of a WR2.

it’s not a terribly complicated point I’m making. essentially that our qb does have butt crack throw level arm talent. That we could let darn near anyone get 3 catches a game as a 4th to 5th option on the field. You don’t pay 10m+ a year for that player unless he’s a guy that on 3rd and 8 in a big moment you are willing to call his number intentionally where we are though is definitely in the draft a guy high that replaces diggs in like 3 years phase, which coincidentally upgrades WR2 at the same time.

it’s not hard to connect the dots- he’s had struggles and often it feels like he’s producing in spite of himself not because of his skill. He’s not outrunning guys, he’s not agile enough to be a great route runner. He doesn’t tend to be the most physical getting the ball. In a great offense it often seems he’s a beneficiary of the stress the unit puts on the defense instead of being a stressor himself. put another way- the production floor for a full time wr2 in this unit is pretty high even if you plug a WR4-5 into the role. In a big moment I don’t know that we ever see them scheme up gabe Davis as the target

Chargers have been god awful, but they did beat up the Vegas backup qb- they are literally last place in receiving yards allowed though and may underscore the gap between your perception based on games watched and reality on this? Not meant snarky so much as trends for 32 teams are hard to keep track of anecdotally with watching a few games and hearing a few comments like most of us do

is it simply that several of the teams you picked are high scoring with aggressive pass rushes ala the manning colts? not necessarily steel curtains but simply good complimentary football?

the difference here being the nfl scoring explosion correlated to rule changes, not simply a talented roster or new wrinkle. Unless you point towards rule changes favoring the defense or a long term shift in cap dollars effecting where athletes are trying to play - there isn’t much reason to think a noteworthy swing is in progress.

2 high safeties is anything but new though.
