EmotionallyUnstable

Idk about others, but this game means a lot to me. No guarentee we see them again this year, and I want to beat every team we play. Stomach’s gurgling for this one. McD and company will tell you it’s just a game, but some of them mean more than others.

Bills!Win!

Nothing doing in the passing game but dump offs and scrambles. Makes for a boring watch.

I thought he looked fuzzy getting up from the hit following the botched trick play

Im still not sold on Jayden Daniels I said out of the gate I thought he would be a bit inflated as a talent because his ability to run would be a dynamic component to his game. Coming from LSU with both Nabers and BTJ made me question how much of his success was warranted vs earned. Great rookie season so far, but we will see how it progresses. If the Hail Mary falls short, do we still think he is as good as advertised?

Neither team can throw the ball to their WRs apparently. It’s the tight ends and backs show.

One of my favorite play series; 1st down sack 2nd down sack 3rd down draw Elite

Nothing like a trick play on 1&10 to kill a drive…

Washington 5 man front was working, then starting this drive they came out in a more traditional 4 man look. I wonder what gives And now they’re back in the bear. Interesting to see them shift late. Trying to stop Barkley

Washington defense looks pretty good so far

Good series for both sides of the ball there

Those AJ Brown free release slants is something id like to see from a second round rookie for an unnamed franchise

Commanders @ Eagles (-3.5) Who ya got?

I think Karloftis is a good player.

I am in agreement here. Still doesn’t change my initial premise that his current level of production is not what many hoped it would grow to be

Is it? My point was that he has not elevated his level of play THIS SEASON to where many people (myself included) expected him to be in year two. You reference his year one catches as a rebuttal to my point that he’s improved in year two, yet he isn’t on pace to meet that total in 2024. If that’s the stat you want to use, it is directly supporting my stance that he has not in fact been more impactful. However, I don’t think receptions is a fair way to assess his presence. We don’t judge a running back’s impact on a game solely by looking at how many carries they had. We must do the same with pass catchers. His 73 catches came at less than 10 yards per reception in 2023, which is not a good number even for a tight end. Good rookie year, sure! I am not arguing that. Albeit a ton of quick game and check down work, he was making plays doing what he was asked. It left a lot to be desired. So looking again at year two, where many expected a much nore threatening presence from Kincaid, we haven’t really seen it. His current yards per reception is sitting at 10.5 (a respectable number- not the best for TEs but decent). Interestingly, his receptions are down, although he’s seen an increase in target share (16% to 20%) and is on pace to see more total targets than he saw last year. My take away here is that the Bills have continued to use Kincaid as a large part in their passing attack. He’s been asked to do more down the field, and in turn has seen some decrease in his overall catches and yards but a humble increase in yards per catch. But it hasn’t really amounted to the caliber of player we all hoped we’d be getting from a Round 1 talent. These numbers this year aren’t too far off from what we saw from Knox in 2021 and 2022. To be clear, I didn’t say he was a bum. He is nodoubt a good player. One area I’d like to see info on (maybe someone can provide it?) is the # of first downs he’s secured compared to last year. I’ve often seen 1D/ route run and 1D/ catch as good advanced indicators of efficiency. I’d like to see that compared from year one to year two, and how it stacks up to other pass catchers around the league. All of this doesn’t mean he is not the occasional playmaker, or won’t ascend to be a top 5 guy at the position, but to me there is no doubt he is not there yet. I was only agreeing that his potential absence this week might not be as heavily felt in terms of a talent gap from TE1 to TE2 compared to other potential absences.

I am down to one fish, in case anyone was keeping track.

Here’s the game highlights for last year’s divisional loss to the chiefs. A few notes: - Allen was a monster. Killed them running. He had a number of wonky unbelievable throws to different guys (including latavius murray!). - Shakir TD catch was insane. As was a Diggs grab over the middle. We also see a lot of the motions and routes (specifically the quick screens) that we’ve seen a lot of this year - ground game had some good runs although Allen was the leading rusher - D line never really got mahomes (0 sacks) but did get him out of the pocket quite a bit - Tyrel Dodson, AJ Klien, Dane Jackson, Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer all started this game on defense. Wow. - Allen bomb to Sherfield incomplete (drop) - Damar Hamlin failed fake punt lol - Hardman fumble through the EZ - Bass misses 44 yarder to tie it What a game

Can we get a red standing buffalo on the helmet with this combo? Americas team!

Funny tidbit on the statler. While closed for renovation, a friend of mine had access to the main lobby. Last year, August 2023, my main fantasy league and closest friends held our annual draft in the abandoned bar off of the main lobby. It was pretty spooky and a fun memory/experience.

Those wings look terrible

I’m with @Straight Hucklebuck on this one. Kincaid is on pace for another 600ish yard season in year two. He really hasn’t taken that leap that many around the Mafia were hoping and frankly, expecting, from a first round pick who was touted as an elite pass catching talent. I hope he’s good to go on Sunday because he is a good player. The loss of Kincaid however is less impactful than that of Cooper. This is not to say he won’t contribute to improve and have more of a statistical impact on the games, but so far, I think it’s fair to say he’s not met the preseason expectations.

I believe DVOA and First downs per play combined (offense/defebse) are some of the greatest indicators of further success. I will look for the source

Might as well spill the beans now. What did he do?
