    Dude you have no idea how hard it is to walk on to a division one program 

     

    If you walk on to a division one program through the walk on trial you are a division one football player 

     

    You did not walk on to a division one team and make it

     

    You literally have to be one of the first people in last people out coaches treat you like crap and still expect you to give 120% every single day

     

    Walk-on leave practice bloody because how much physical abuse they take in a practice

    Yep. That was my experience as I-AA walk on.  Back when they still called it I-AA.  The coaches really don’t care about you.  Of 28 walk ons, only 4 of us were still on the team after freshman year, and only 2 (not me) ever got significant playing time.  Both of those guys were really terrific athletes.

     

    Anyway, McDaniel is still a nerd.

  2. I think Staubach is significantly underrated on the OPs list. On my list he is equal to or above 1/2 the guys shown on the top tier.  Other QBs I think are underrated on that list include Roethlisberger, Tarkenton, Dan Fouts, and Otto Graham. And Bobby Lane is missing.


    I would take Marino out of the top tier. Most overrated QB ever, and no way I would take him above Kelly, let alone Josh.

    Mixon over Cook makes no sense other than name recognition, but it’s the Pro Bowl nothing new. 

    Mixon did have a really good stretch of games, when he came back from injury in October.   He had 7 out of 8 games over 100 yards with at least 1 TD.    Cook has definitely been better the last month and full year stats are better.  But early voting and name recognition probably cost him.

    Skewed by early results. In the last 6 games, they have given up 181, 202, 112, 181, 198, and 153 passing yards. In terms of total yards given up, they have averaged 267 over that 6 game stretch (and just 16 ppg). They are arguably playing the best defense in the NFL right now.

    I agree that the Ravens D has improved in the recent games I watched compared to early and mid-season games.  But if you make it the last 7 games you would count the 428 yards given up to Burrow.     Besides banged up Steelers, Texans, and NYG team in recent weeks they did hold the Eagles and Chargers in check.  

     

    It seems to me that their secondary especially Humphrey and Hamilton have been playing really well in the recent games I watched   I hadn't noticed great D-Line play from the Ravens

  5. Prefer the Broncos. 

     

    I know the Bills should squish the fish in a January game in OP. Weather, track record, they're Allen's favorite team to play, etc.   But there is something about the recent history, the teams knowing each other so well, and Miami's playmakers that makes me really worry the Dolphins are due to win a close game. 

     

    Just looking at the last 3 seasons since it has been McD vs McD, the Bills lost the first matchup and then won 6 in a row including playoff game 2 years ago.  Of the 7 games 2 were blowout wins and the other 5 came right down to the wire.  Even this year at home it took a personal foul on Poyer to avoid the fish having the ball w a chance to win in regulation and a 61 yard FG to avoid OT.

    - Every time we blitzed Maye, he folded like a cheap tent. He clearly could not handle the pressure. So what does Babich do in key moments? He rushes 4 and drops everyone back into a shell. WHY!? For fug sake, WHY? Make it make sense

     

     

    Maye actually made some terrific plays against the blitz on the first 2 drives including a dime TD pass.  Give him credit.  A couple PI calls did hurt the Bills, but that was bc Maye put the ball up when our DBs / LBs had their backs to ball. 
     

    i think it was smart that Babich changed it up and ran some plays showing pressure and then droppied out. In the 4th Quarter Bills brought the heat again which worked.

    At this point, I just want the bills TO GET to the superbowl. Obviously I want them to win it, but I am so sick of the "is Josh mvp?" arguments and the "Josh is overrated" Yada Yada. All of that goes away once they get to the superbowl, win or lose. Kc has been sketchy this season, but nobody is batting an eye because look at what they've done in the past. Same goes for Cinci, they've done nothing since their superbowl a few years ago, but burrow is pretty highly regarded (rightfully so, he's really good). So get to the superbowl I say. Then I'll stress about who we play 

    I don't agree that Cinci's done nothing since their SB appearance.   They crushed the Bills in OP, giving us our most lop-sided home playoff loss in team history, and then lost on a FG with 3 seconds left in the AFCG.   That's closer to getting back to the SB then the Bills have been in the Josh Allen era.

  8. The decision to trade for D. Adams was brutal.  Jets were 2 -4, had already fired their coach and didn't have a quality QB on their roster.  Tyrod is past his prime. But they do have some young talent.    That's exactly the type of team that  should be cleansing the locker room of over-priced over-the-hill divas, not bringing in new one.

     

    Not sure if that trade decision was Woody Johnson or the GM.  But if Douglas recommended trading for Adams, that's a last straw fireable offense.
