Bleeding Bills Blue

Only thing with chargers is schedule - @Chiefs, @Cowboys, Texans, @Broncos. Nothing easy, 3 road games, and they HAVE to win 2. Win @KC this week and i think they'll be good though. They're really banged up on the offensive line as well, but their defense is still playing well. If they were to lose to KC, and then 2 of the other games KC would jump them should they win out.

To me it would first require bills win the division over the patriots. So bills win out, and pats lose to buffalo and miami (i think this works or is close, but don't quote me). I'd also say that it would require that the rams finish a WC, and ideally with a worse record than Buffalo at 13-4. If that happened - Odd's aren't bad that buffalo is 1 in the conference (maybe 2 if denver tops in tiebreakers). And I would think Allen would have had a great stretch of games to get the team there.

I don't think it's going to last long. Just not sure you chuck him out there without at least a few plays holding the clipboard.

I assume Rypien gets the start, but you do need at least a backup. Probably a quick hook, and probably with the potential to re-enter the game if Rivers looks unprepared. None of Jones, Richardson, or Leonard are healthy so I'm not sure what else there is to do.

The 4.8 40 is always lingering as to what his ceiling can be.

He looks much faster than Rapp. And he is a better tackler. Considering the former all-pro chops, regardless of age thats an upgrade.

The pittsburgh one he lost was just so absurdly fluky its hard to fault it as a "ball security" issue. Diving for the pylon isn't great unless you're superman with massive hands, but its hard to coach that out of a player. The one at the 2 was inexcusable though.

They readjusted it after the suspension - its 6.6 now. Either way, i don't know that he was their first choice. I was hoping for someone a bit beefier like Slaton.

And thats improvement with... more people missing more time. I tend to think coaches who can overcome that are actually pretty good at their job. Offense: Brown - RT - Missed time with ankle early on, now a shoulder injury Kincaid - TE1 - Oblique, Hamstring, Knee playing through everything Palmer - WR2 - Knee, now an ankle Shakir - WR1 - Seems to be gutting out the entire season with a high ankle sprain Samuel - WR5/Chess Piece - As always he's hurt again Hardman - Returner/Chess Piece - Immediately hurt upon arrival Defense: Hairston - 1st round CB2/3 - Missed 6 games and half of training camp Strong - Late round CB4 - 9 weeks and counting TJ - NCB - First a quad, then a groin Rapp - FS - Knee, looked slow as hell before injury Sanders - 2nd round 3T - Missed 5 weeks midseason with a knee Carter - 1T - Potential depth tackle done for year in carter Oliver - 3T - Arguably the best lineman on the team has missed 10 weeks Bosa - DE1 - Played through injury with a club, now a hamstring Hoecht - DE/LB/Chess piece - Looked good, and then popped an achilles DQ - 1T - Missed some games with a calf injury Jackson - 3rd round DE - Barely played then when injuries finally get him on the field he gets rolled up Milano - WLB - Missed 4 weeks with a pec Thompson - MLB/WLB - Missed 4 weeks with hamstring injuries Williams - WLB - Missed a game with a knee injury Bernard - MLB - Ankle has bothered him all year, now his elbow I think Babich was going to start interviewing for DC positions with new HC's so promotion prevented that as well.

I'll admit i haven't seen much from Ogunjobi, but he's only played 150 snaps this year. Appears Phillips has taken over some of his snaps after he signed to replace the injured Oliver and Sanders. Sanders coming back has seen him play a bit on the outside at times because of injuries and ineffectiveness against the run, so ogunjobi seems to fall somewhere behind Walker Jones and Phillips. I do think he profiles similar to oliver, but he just doesn't seem to disrupt things as much.

I mean the stadium itself was absolutely bonkers at that moment. You have the sideline and stands going berserk. Poor conditions on a side of the field that has accumulated some snow, so you need to brush off the ground. It was too important to go up 4 there to take a penalty and potentially miss the kick.

I think he'll have a market because he had 35 sacks the last 2 years prior to this one. I don't know what that market is, but defensive linemen seem to be able to play well into their 30's if they can stay healthy. I'd imagine less than he would have gotten last year, and likely only a 4 year deal with an out after 2.

Chargers Oline also looked to be a wreck. And Denver just doesn't look right. I agree - i SHOULD count them out, just feels like everyone in their way isn't reliable.

Well Manning won 03 and 04, then a super bowl in 06.

I dunno - its been a weird year. We got smoked by Houston away, and we lost to them in that absurd game in allen's 2nd year. Kinda feel like its a "get that win back" type of thing. I also think we haven't heard the last of KC. I just can't see them dying when 10-7 is still on the table and the only teams in their way are the chargers and colts.
