He was elite yesterday, but you could fill a book with the names of athletes who had great games. The key is doing it all the time over the course of a season and then a career. That's much more rarified air, and not something he's doing yet.

When you turn the ball over 3 times, it's highly unlikely that you win that game. For me, that's the only significant take away from the game. Allen didn't look like himself out there today.

When will that "next coaching staff" be here? 2050? Is this real? I feel like our receivers have been one of the stronger components of our team this year. We're 7th in team passing yards and 2nd in rushing yards. We need defensive help far, FAR more than we need an 8th receiver.

Again, that's a problem with your expectations. We've gotten 6 years of solid production, where we can expect 6 sacks a year out of a late 2nd round EDGE. I think that's a pretty solid return. If you wanted 10+ sacks a year, most of the time you have to target those guys in the top 15 picks. 5 DEs were taken ahead of him in the 2020 draft, and he's outperformed 4 of them.

If you're expecting a #3 DE to be on the Pro Bowl ballot, you may need to adjust your expectations. He's a good player, just not a great one.

The same Epenesa that made a critical play last week?

Boozing into the wee hours is the morning have been part of the best memories I've ever had. Especially when travelling.

I like what I'm seeing out of the defense so far. They aren't playing consistently well, but they have been playing situationally well. They also aren't trotting out the same tired scheme for the last 7 years hoping it'll work this time. They're blitzing the most I've ever seen from them, they're running 4-3 alignments, and they're simulating lots of pressure. They need to be more consistent in pass rush and they need to prevent chunk running plays. Hopefully they can figure that out. I give them more praise than heat thus far and I give them a ton of props for trying something that's capable of having success in January and February.

Allen has an awful lot of "Best Friends" for a dude. Matt Barkley, Dawson Knox, Tanner Gentry, etc. Pick one, my man.

To me, Hawes looks like the most complete TE on the roster and just might be the best of the bunch over the long haul. I think he's already better than Knox, and given more opportunities, he might be able to move Kincaid to more of a niche role.

Add DHop and Trent Williams above Allen and Jackson.

Ravens look done. The injuries will be a big hurdle to overcome. KC had a get-right game at the perfect time and the chargers faceplanted. Buffalo will need to keep getting better.

The Killers haven't been relevant in like 20 years. Man, people this out of touch with popular music should really sit this one out.

Is the D line underperforming?

And in the year he won with Denver he wasn't anywhere near career high. In fact both career years for Brady and Manning ended without SB wins. A good running game and solid defense have been more critical than top of the top QB play for most SB winners in recent past and the data backs it up. If you're asking Allen to put the cape on more than a handful of times, you probably don't have a championship team.

Was what I wrote that complicated that you had to respond with a completely unrelated fun-fact? Tom Brady did not throw more than 28 TDs in any year that he won a Super Bowl.

It's what you do when you want to win championships. Brady and Manning didn't win SBs airing it out. They won SBs handing it off, and reliably making the handful of plays they needed to when it mattered. Championship football looks like boring football.

It must have been on 1 of his 4 attempts over 50 yards last year. You really showed me. The last full season Prater played, he had 12.

Prater is a huge upgrade. McD shies away from 50 yard kicks with Bass. Prater can nail it from 60. He gives us something Bass doesn't. It just might be the difference in winning a big game.

You're one of the 5. By your chronically online behavior it's no surprise. Go outside.

Are we? Rookies having big impacts is rare. There's a handful every year that have year 1 breakouts. It's the exception, not the rule. He was the 6th DT taken, Give him a year or even two.

Just admit you're completely wrong about everything, and I will.

There are no fascists in the game? Are you serious? You play AS the fascists. It's very, very thick satire. The actual quote isn't from the game, it's from the groyper meme community about the game.

Side note, it's wild that the 5 of you here are still talking about this. No one cares anymore. The dude's already in Hell. Let him burn.

Wow, you're really uneducated about all this. Surprise, surprise. It's a gaming meme from Helldivers 2 that groypers use - hence the button combination next to the words.
