I'm very sure about it yes. Do you appreciate how much of a difference .7 YA is? Allen's most prolific rushing season he had 763 yards. In 6 of 7 seasons, Jackson's lowest total is 764 That missed sack by Bosa and Rousseau where Jackson was 15 yards behind the LoS and then rushed for a first down? That's a Jackson exclusive play. No other QB in NFL history makes that play.

That's all fluff. Lamar is significantly more prolific running if we're just talking facts backed by stats. There's not a statistical argument that Allen is better than or even equal to Jackson rushing the football.

Literally, yes. One of those guys is now a top 5 interior lineman entering his 3rd season.

That is also true for Josh. Allen is a very gifted runner, one of the best ever. But Jackson is the greatest to ever do it from the QB position.

That is very silly. Did you watch Them put up 238 rushing yards on us? That happened largely because their oline and TEs created massive gaps for their runners. On the 30 yard TD run, they absolutely dominated our front 7. If you want to say that's because our d-line is drastically inferior than ok, but I don't agree with that. In pass protection, they looked quite good too. On defense they have an all-pro safety in Hamilton, and their 1st round rookie Starks is probably better than anything we have by default. We might not have a Top 64 safety. Roquan Smith is another all pro player, for which we have no comparable player (the ghost of Matt Milano notwithstanding). Marlon Humphrey is an all-pro corner. The gap between Henry and Cook is massive. They also have a significant edge at TE when Likely is healthy. He and Andrews (another all-pro) are each better than anyone we have unless the lights go on for Kincaid this year. None of this is to say the Bills are bad/suck whatever, but to act like their talent levels are equal is a total lack of respect for the Ravens.

I do when it follows a smooth curve, or there's precedent for the growth - like say with Walker needing to get healthy and get some better coaching. When a player experiences exponential growth that no one saw coming (because if they did he would have gone early in the first round), it comes off as disingenuous when people with no skin in the game try to bring out the "I told you so"'s and glom on to their success. Be happy for Coleman and happy for the Bills, but I'm not going to acknowledge someone's premonition that he'd immediately blossom after a single offseason where he caught 50% of his targets the year before. Edit - for the record, I thought he had promise as a pick: I just don't like the lazy attack.

I'm pretty sure this has been the rule for decades. It's at minimum been a very long time. If you go out of bounds you can't be the first one to touch the ball. It's not that uncommon of a foul. It used to happen on punts a decent bit.

ChoaDog I've lived all over the country and they're by far the best hot dog available commercially in any major city I've been in, and it's not even close. If Sahlens is a 10, Wardynski is a 9, and no one else is higher than a 7.

Those takes that were made when we drafted him were totally valid at the time. Him evolving as a player is not a part of that equation. No one would be calling him trash if what we drafted was what we saw yesterday. He was a million miles away from that as a rookie. This is just a really lazy take, and I shouldn't have even taken the bait.

Lamar holds records that Josh does not, and he's a two time MVP. No one is trying to take anything away from Josh, but there's more than one great player in the league.

Personally, i don't care much about what they look like about bad teams. This defense has been padding their stats against weak teams for years and then doing nothing against elite teams. That was a different story yesterday. There are only 3-4 teams we have to show up against, and I hope we've finally built a roster capable of doing that. Without a significant improvement in safety play, I am a bit worried though.

Yikes. I'm shocked they didn't call roughing the passer on that. Not that I think it *should* be, but they really coddle QBs these days.

The blog-article is just one example. I heard chatter about it last night from talking heads, social media posts, etc. How many plays did he have where he got beat? I counted two. I didn't include the almost-sack, because you would expect that one of the other 10 players could make on play there when Jackson is 15 yards back from the LoS, under duress and slowed. On a day where Henry and Jackson ran all over us, no one walked out flawless.

I was extremely excited about the addition of Hoecht. He underwhelmed me by a lot in the pre-season, which has tempered my excitement, but that could be a case of veterans taking it easy and reduced quality personnel all around.

No one is a Keon hater today. It's stupid to act like there is. He was legitimately awful last year all around, and in week one he came in and looked like a better player than he's ever been in his life. Props to him for putting in the work and putting together the kind of turnaround you hardly ever see at the WR position.

I heard a bunch of chatter yesterday, and I'm reading some nonsense articles today like :https://boltbeat.com/it-took-bills-one-game-to-learn-what-chargers-fans-already-knew-about-joey-bosa that don't mesh at all with what I saw yesterday live while watching Bosa. I saw a guy who was providing consistent pressure and sensible contain in a way that made the entire d-line better, much like Von miller's first weeks here. Of course we all saw Jackson make him look silly a couple of times, but who hasn't Jackson done that to? So I went back and re-watched the condensed game, and now I'm thinking he played even better than what i saw yesterday. Outside of the couple of Jackson plays where he lost contain, he had no other missteps of note, and he directly contributed to several critical plays that cumulatively helped us win the game. First half 2 great reps on the first drive where he beat his man Forced the fumble on a play where he punch through the line that not only forced a ravens FG saving 4 points, but saved enough clock that we could score 3 of our own. Second Half 2nd play of the 2nd half he has a great pressure which creates a 3rd and long (we unfortunately let them convert) He has another pressure at 6:27 in the third where Jackson overthrows Bateman. at 12:31 in the 4th he forces Jackson back 15 yards on what should have been sack, but Jackson does Jackson things and no one can help secure it and we look ridiculous on 3rd and 8 with 8 minutes left, he blows through the blocker, but a false start is called The very next play he pushes the tackle into Jackson forcing him to take a checkdown that turns into 4th down and a punt He was timely to the pile in the Henry fumble to help secure the ball Long story short, I don't think we win this game without him. He was directly responsible for ending 2 of the Ravens 11 drives, and could have been a key contributor on other stops had our defense been more reliable as a unit. I'm not making an argument that he's Garrett or Watt, but I expected him to be completely washed and through one game, I saw a clear upgrade overall.

You can prefer Josh, but most serious analysts are going to call that a push. You have MVP QBs on both sides.

The only better roster than the Ravens is the Eagles. I wouldn't say we're stronger than them at any position grouping, and we only push with them at a handful.

Why do people keep saying Bishop is athletic? Are there examples of plays where he shows this consistently?

Coleman played better last night than he did cumulatively in 2024. It might be the biggest YoY jump I've seen from a WR. He's playing with confidence. His hands looks far better, his body control looks far better. Last night's Coleman looked like the player they hoped to get when they drafted him. If that's who he is moving forward, he's a massive weapon for us. Maybe not a prototypical WR1, but definitely a guy who will get WR1 opportunities. Josh Palmer was consistently open, was running smooth routes and made catches look like they were in shorts. He was a massive upgrade to our overall group because of how much it raises our floor by keeping lesser players off the field. Shakir was Shakir and that's great. The TEs impressed, catching 100% of their combined targets. The only bad drop the whole night was Ty Johnson, and I expect that was a fluke. It was awesome to see the whole depth chart contribute like catching the ball is just automatic for them. That certainly wasn't the case last year.

I don't think Bishop's problems can be fixed. He's mentally slow AND physically weak. For all the talk about how athletic he is, he never seems to make athletic plays in spite of his other weaknesses.I'm sure he's made a tackle at some point, but I can't remember him ever having a big time hit or even a big time pass breakup. I think he's way to raw to be starting NFL games. He's honestly one of the worst looking safeties I've ever seen. I've seen Cam Lewis make far more plays, even during his practice squad years. I'm fairly convinced that with better safety play, the Raven's wouldn't have done anywhere near the damage on the ground that they did. The whole defense was owned by the ravens o-line on this play, but watch the first play at .5x speed and see how clueless our safeties are, and then the unreal whiff by Bishop. I get it, Henry is tough to tackle, but you can at least try to slow him down. Rapp's inability to chnage direction and fill the gap on that play was probably worse, but I don't expect anything of him.

Be careful with whole year subs That's the easy way to do it, but it's also quite expensive. If you get a streaming box (The Nvidia Shield 2019 pro is the gold standard) that should only set you cak $200 NIB. You can get far cheaper options like the firestick, or you can buy used. Then you just get your own IPTV software, I use OTTNavigator, and that handles all of your interface. The only other thing you need is an IPTV feed. You can try out free ones just to see how it works, but they don't work well for high demand content like sports because the servers are usually low bandwidth. You can search around for IPTV subs via discord, and they'll cost you anywhere from $10-$15 a month. You pay them, you get a feed and login credentials which you plug into your IPTV app and you're done. I never sign up for more than 6 months, because you never know if the provider will go under, and I only watch live tv during football/hockey season anyway. Basically, if you have a tiny bit of tech know-how you can save quite a bit of money and have more flexibility.

This might be for the best

They do, thanks to their union, but not more than the owners. That's the relevant part.

lmao. You have a twisted view of morality. There's no "wrong" here at all. Not even a little. Find a good IPTV service and for $10/$15 a month you can get access to all the major networks from local markets all around the country/world
