  1. I saw Spector running directly into the blocking and being driven down the field most of the night. Totally unable to get off his blocks. The Ravens dominated our LBs and defensive backs in the run game and quick passing game. Ravens receivers and TEs were driving our DBs downfield or completely neutralizing them creating huge cushion on those screen plays and quick hitters. 7 to 10 yards before first contact type cushion. Healthy couldn't hurt but I don't think our starters were shining all that bright last night either.
  2. They got completely pushed around all night on both sides of the ball and had no answers in all three phases of the game. It truly was complementary football. I don't know what adjustments a coach can make that will overcome your personnel getting mauled by their opponent in one on one battles.
  3. I look forward to February when your Power Rankings come out.
  4. Its easy to compare this year's hot start to the 2022 season in which we looked unstoppable while dismantling the defending super bowl champs and then throttling the Titans before struggling rapidly falling back down to earth. Weeks 1 through 3 are basically extensions of the preseason now so better prepared teams tend to clean up in the early part of the season before the tape is out there and we really figure out who is who. I expect we will be playing much more closely contended games soon. Unlike the past two years, where defenses adjusted to our passing attack and Dorsey's answer was to win one-on-one matchups or run our franchise to QB into the teeth of a defense, I think this team has a scheme and the personnel to exploit whatever a defense is willing to give us and a QB that is willing to kill you by a thousand paper cuts. It will get harder but I don't think this squad will spend 5 weeks looking absolutely lost, searching for an identity. We have already had a significant shock to the defense with injuries and a week 1 injury to the QB which i suspect is more serious than reported and this team has looked nothing but poised.
  5. Dorsey's offense was everyone line up and win your matchup. When no one was open, Allen was basically throwing the ball away somewhere in the vicinity of Diggs or Davis and giving them a really low percentage chance to make a big play. For whatever reason, Josh would not accept anything under 7 yards in that offense but I think forcing the ball to Diggs was more a function of our scheme and lack of open guys deep down the field.
  6. After a couple of warm lagers I could see the whole stadium pairing up and slow dancing when this banger comes on.
  7. I think you'll find more than two at most games.
  8. It looks easy. And to his credit, Allen is playing within the design of the offense and only improvising when it breaks down. That was my biggest question about this offense: will Josh stay patient and be content to pick up 3, 5, and 7 yards per play or will he hunt big plays. So far the scheme has worked brilliantly to consistently give him high quality looks and open men and when it hasn't worked, Allen delivers off script brilliance. Much credit goes to Joe Brady and I give Josh a ton of credit for taking his game to the next level. Allen is playing with the ruthless efficiency of Tom Brady while reserving the option to run over a linebacker for a first down when needed. Allen and the offense look virtually unstoppable through 3 weeks.
  9. Fitz had the processing ability, the guts, and the toughness to be a great QB. He just didn't have the arm talent or athleticism. So many times he made the right decision but the ball wasn't where it needed to be. Often underthrown on all the deep stuff or inaccurate. All of his past teammates speak very highly of him which is rare for a middling QB.
  10. Saying you're rooting for the cat is like saying you're rooting for whoever plays the Dolphins this week. You are just rooting against Gugny.
  11. The highlights were fun. I like Peterka's game a lot. Hoping he has not yet reached his ceiling.
  12. We just put the whole league on notice. If you play your AHL squad, we will show no mercy.
  13. Animals grieve too. Keep your cat unless your son would prefer to take her.
  14. This is sad but I get it. It was a little better under Granato but this team was so tough to watch win or lose through many of these drought seasons. Sloppy hockey can be fun to watch, bad hockey can be fun, but the Sabres had literally no entertainment value for years on end. Krueger made it unbearable. I hope the Sabres turn it around and you can rekindle your passion for the team because turning to baseball is the most depressing thing I have ever heard.
  15. You know what they say about the weather in Buffalo....If you don't like it just wait 5 minutes and shut up about the weather. It sucks most of the year and everybody knows it so just shut up about the damn weather! Its not very helpful in this conversation but thats what people are saying.
  16. Freddy was a pleasure to watch even at the end of his career. He could no longer run away from LBs but there he is dumping hall of fame candidate Luke Kuechly like hes nothing and gaining another 5 yards when he should have had nothing. Hes so smooth it looks like slow motion.
  17. Every AFC East team: Miami, NYJ, and Pats* in that order presently. Every AFC team that is a threat to win the conference. Its not personal, mostly business. The Cowboys and Eagles, (unless they're playing a divisional opponent or the Chiefs) Leafs, Bruins, Golden Knights, Flyers, Lightning
  18. On a scale of 1 to 10, how noticeable was his disappointment?
  19. Block of store brand cheddar cheese, a quart of whole milk, and a pack of Newports.
  20. It means we had 4 pets at the beginning of the year and now we have 3. We will likely have 4 again sometime soonish. On average we have 3.5.
  21. I think for this household (2 adults, no kids, 3.5 furry boys) $5 million is somewhere close to the figure where I would consider going part time at work for the next 10 to 15 years and retiring early.
  22. Trumaine Edwards is basically still a rookie and rookies are basically still 19.
  23. Listen, my grandma could get fake breasts tomorrow, but that doesn't make her 22 again if ya know what I'm saying..
