I can already see the “he’s just a rookie, you can’t expect him to be a difference maker yet” post.

we’d be the least coastal team. Might be us.

I think the bills are playing roughly as expected and the competition ended up a little softer than I pegged. The records a bit better than anticipated and it irks me we didn’t do more to put our chips on the table now. I don’t think I was shy about wanting that all offseason and now suspect it’ll lead to wasting what might be one of our best chances at a deep run. Hopefully there will be other opportunities but this was a pretty excellent one and I’d not currently bet on it to happening. Never know though, as it could end up being like flaccos super bowl run.

it was just an amusing post... a bit madden-esque. like saying scoring more would fix the offense. As if any offense wouldn’t benefit from those two items.

oh all we need is to stop turnovers and make some big plays and the offense will be less bad? im still skeptical that McCoy would’ve been down for a demotion given how he was talking in preseason though

single year cash outlay isn’t the best metric on his pay rate compared to others.

And a good back with some perimeter weapons is tough. If anything, they are the team that would come out flat but if they get the ball moving in the run game it could be a tough day.

yup. though today probably had a little more grace built in than next week if we play flat. That’s all.

not really. But I think it’s fair to recognize if we don’t show up it might not be a great day.

I’ll admit to being big on the WR train day two and as he slid I beat that drum louder. We needed playmakers.

for a name implying you see things flying over your head, I think you missed that one

3rd string qb for Indy likely helps

moore says hold my beer

Cousins managed to make that the worst possible 3 and out

Holding the opponent to 6 and catastrophic posts abound

At one point the following positions were all 7th rounders or UDFA: QB, WR1-3, RB, LT right?

we gave him relatively high guaranteed dollars. He’s here.

writer finds job they like writing about topics they feel invested in. new company comes in and tells them to change. they say no and leave instead of bending to their new directive. What exactly would be the cool and tough response? Write things they don’t want to while quietly obeying orders? Seems making a stand even if not the one I agree with is not particularly pansied in nature

right be he didn’t agree with their beliefs so pansies all of them

im not even sure that’s the lesson, so much as he who signs the paychecks gives you your working orders. they could’ve generally intertwined the two, under different leadership

On the defense - we don’t have many huge star machines but they have been relatively efficient. So one might say that some of these guys are playing higher than their sack or INT or TFL stats might indicate... you know, since those are somewhat arbitrary metrics to measure a guy on too

ultimately, when you are the better team, the last thing you like to see are wild cards. Ideally it’s a team in disarray and you should still win but with zero film you never know if you will get surprised and surprises can steal games you are expecting to win sometimes i hate to dwell on the pats but they are prime examples. They flashed a stat the other day about BB against young qbs and he was just crushing them. The flip side example being years ago when a much less talented Miami team shocked him with the wild cat. It doesn’t have to be that stark a change from normal but if the kid comes in amped up and decides to hang his hat on doing something really well that we didn’t expect... well... Keenum wouldn’t surprise us.

And it’s possible they did and he blew it off or that this presents eerily similar to something common and is rare itself... but on the surface, yup, exactly my thought

One might think that the team doctor might’ve recommended a referral option? but you do you, Tom.

I don’t know about this condition nor did I stay at at holiday inn express last night... but it feels like with constant access to world class medical professionals that a growth would get earlier follow up. 6 years feels like a long time. But there could be a lot of simple explanations.
