Sojourner

Hope things are well Jay, glad your Bills spirit couldn’t be kept down!!!

Just got done watching that game… Hate to jump on the carousel of Caleb bashing but man, I’ve never seen a team devote so much to their first round QB in many years. The guy has had pretty much the whole roster allocated and built to propagate his success. And he’s doing very little with it. The decision making is pretty staggeringly brutal at times. Also. Harbaugh better be careful. That team isn’t close to what it is if Lamar goes down. Why risk him in garbage time, especially when the game is an automatic win?

Browns are weird. That Sampson kid played very well last week yet they seem to be forcing it to Judkins.

Hopefully. As much as it would hurt my fantasy football, I’d rather never risk the guy if need be.

Heck of a play by 47.

I wondered if that was the whole reason Vince Carter and Jozy Altidore were brought on… Huge ties to Toronto between those two.

Some of the better coordinators in recent years sustain that mentality; Lebeau Spags Capers Bellichick Keep the opponent uncomfortable and under duress as much as possible. Like the saying goes, pressure bursts pipes. Maybe they feel it’s our pipes who’ll burst more often than not 😂

Yes, but you asked how. Can’t answer that unfortunately, maybe someone else can?

No clue Pete. Don’t think it’s been disclosed yet. At least I didn’t see anything in the thread appertaining to the news/report.

Happy Birthday dude! Thanks for keeping this place up and running, it’s appreciated!

Simply put its going through the game plan and assignments. Pretty much mental reps of what’s installed for the game.

Is there a team who has as much of not more potential at the WR position than Green Bay?

Worse than the color rush?! 😱

Had to be an injury from kicking all that butt on the field Sunday.

Crediting guys who haven’t played a snap from last season to this on our team means the holes were filled either way. The two spots that have different players actually were just as good if not better on a return from the guys that previously occupied those roles. Returning all those starters but 2 is full strength, especially if you go by the first official depth chart; Tre is the only guy not there. If it were week 5 for example and they were pencilled starters who went down or were all of a sudden unavailable, then yes we aren’t at full strength. Again, the only guys we don’t have from last year were Von and Douglas. Both have been lambasted on here for sub or play. Plugging in Joey Bosa and a rookie CB in Strong, who would have been Hairston, is exactly where we were to finish and start the season. The names may differ but the standpoint is exactly the same. The exact starting 11 they issued for defense minus Tre. Improved in somewhat as Bosa > Von. I see a 90.9% lineup from the first issue of the depth chart as being healthy. Obviously you don’t. Agree to disagree.

I can see that. I bump him into borderline elite for his playoff performances personally

Definitley what he saw after that fumble.

So the defense last year was: AJE/Von Oliver Jones/Phillips Groot Bernard Milano Taron Benford Douglas Rapp Hamlin/Bishop The only guys not here now is Von and Douglas. One replaced by Bosa, the other by Hairston/Tre/Strong. Offense is the same group back with the exception of Cooper who wasn’t really worth much anyway. Palmer will have the same production. The rotation players last night on defense were 2 draft picks from 2025 (Sanders/Walker) and one from 2024 (Solomon). thats 18 out of 22 starters returning. I’d say that’s as healthy as you’ll get. Again, Tre back from injury and Hairston can’t be included as much as the suspended players in OG and Hoecht. If you think that perspective is “hating” good on you man.

There is no hate. So I don’t know where you’re getting that from. You made a point we weren’t at full strength but we clearly were. Offensively and defensively. And your rebuttal about suspended defensive linemen is a wash as they had their main rotation from last year with additions. The only guy from our defense that didn’t return is Douglas who was replaced by Strong. Seems your hustle is to double down and argue invalid points that make you feel right. Nice to know your own “lol” struck a nerve. “lol”

Surprised this isn’t being mentioned more considering we almost lost the game because of it. Why he left the player (Hamilton) on the inside free to rush is boggling.

We were missing what? An aging CB on the comeback train and a rookie who’s never played a down in the NFL… Pretty much exactly where the defense was last year man. In fact, better shape given the additions to the defensive line. “lol”

Just heard the guys on Get Up! Talking about this… Rex made a decent point; The Ravens are coaching like they have the dominant defenses they’ve had from yester-years. Theyre offense is the team now, should have put that ball in the hands of the guys that dominated Buffalo’s defense for 50 minutes of that game. Absolutely. Not to lump the 2 point chasing on but he redeemed himself for those follies.

Thank goodness Deone Walker letting Hamilton get inside on the FG attempt didn’t change the ending to that game. The Wheels might very well have come off the wagon for a few fans right there 😂

Opening Day at the Ralph… Nevermore.

Probably and whilst that is totally understandable and logical to do, the game wasn’t out of reach coupled with it being opening day of the final season at the Ralph… there was plenty to stick around for.
