I've done it several times over the years, but only with a spread. Betting against the Bills is win-win in my book. If The Bills win, I'm not mad about losing the bet. If they lose, I get something out of it.

No one said the stats were wrong. What value the stats have is definitely open to interpretation however. Point per game is an inflationary statistic, with teams scoring 10% more points per game than they did 20 year ago. If you add 10% to the scoring offenses in the year 2000, we'd have the fourth highest scoring offense that year.

Something he has done for years - see Devin Singletary, Gabe Davis, Ty Johnson last year and you could even argue Dawson Knox a couple years back. I'm not here to say Joe Brady is doing a poor job - he's clearly not. There have been some boneheaded calls, but he's generally done well from what I can see. There's a big gap between doing a great job and historic, best OC of all time though. Joe Brady isn't exploiting defenses with playcalls in a way we've never seen before. This isn't a prime Brady or Manning squad where we are an unstoppable juggernaut picking defenses apart systematically with no way to stop us. The difference between our squad this year and during Dorsey's reign last season was that Josh has finally bought into, and figured out the message that was being preached going all the way back to the start of last season, and maybe even earlier - Be smart with the football, and trust the open man. He's not looking to heave it downfield, taking off and running at the first sign of distress, or whip the ball into tight windows or multiple coverages nearly as much as he was doing so in years prior. In short, he looks boring a lot of the time, and boring is exactly what it takes to win consistently against top competition. Brady and Mahomes mastered the art of being boring. Manning never really did until his body told him he didn't have any other choice. Josh finally figured it out and by not putting on the cape every play, he may win his first MVP, and if he can keep evolving as he gets older, it probably won't be his last. How much credit does Brady get for that? Certainly some, because he's shepherding it, but it wasn't his idea and the catalyst for our success is still mostly Allen.

The hyperbole here is off the charts. Just checking, the guy still has Josh Allen right?

Miami would be the best option given our record against them. I'm legit concerned about a Cinci matchup. Burrow will torch this defense, so Allen will have to go blow for blow and if that happens the game comes down to coaching, where I give Cinci the edge.

Looked to me like Lamar made a really strong case this past week that Allen likely won't be able to top because he's playing bottom of the NFL teams, while Baltimore just wrecked two division leaders. Maybe they give the nod to Allen anyway, but if recency is at all relevant, Jackson has a stronger case, especially with Allen struggling last week.

I had no idea the Gumbels were so old.

Nope. Highest scoring team int eh league, and I'm in the championship this week. First year of a 12-team, 5 year dynasty. Unfortunately, looks like I'm going to lose this week because of the bears and the Texans games.

He has 19 TDs to 6 INTs. I'm not sure what mistakes you think he's making, but they can't be anywhere near as catastrophic as you claim. I've watched the kid a lot of the year as I needed up with him, Moore and Keenan Allen in fantasy.

I'm not sure who you're watching, but It's not Caleb Williams. You're acting like he's some historically bad QB. He's drastically outperforming Allen's rookie season and on par with an edge against Allen's sophomore season right now. He's not processing the game quick enough, and he's holding the ball too long, but if he can get help to sort that out, he'll be in very good shape. If Ben Johnson ends up going there, I have little doubt they'll be highly competitive in that division in a couple years. Absolutely. Paired with DJ Moore and Odunze, he just needs a better line and ideally a more consistent RB.

He lost his OC and Head coach halfway through his rookie season and is playing behind one of the worst offensive lines I've ever seen. I predicted this kid to be a total bust, but he's actually outperforming my expectations so far. The game can't slow down for you as a rookie if the defense blitzes all game, your line doesn't pick it up, your RBs don't chip, and your OC doesn't help scheme the pressure off. The bears organization is failing this kid. I watched one of the RBs actually step out of the way of the blitzing Lbs he could run up field. It's insane.

Edmunds all smiles in the post-game handshake. What a loser.

"Relatively minor" in that he'll almost certainly completely recover from it, barring surgical complications of course. It's not like he's paralyzed, lost a limb, or even something like a kidney. It seems like a fairly routine injury, not unlike the one Milano suffered. "Serious" in the football sense, but not in the real-life sense. I would be shocked if it was a "career ending" injury for a guy who's 25.

I have no shortage of empathy, in fact I'm often chastised for having too much of it, but it's not empathy to cry when a teammate breaks their leg - it's unregulated emotion. Dude needs to be a leader, but if he unravels over a relatively minor injury like that, he's got issues. I couldn't take him seriously if I were on that team.

What the hell is wrong with Stroud? It's a knee injury, the dude isn't gonna die.

My comp around when he was drafted was John Elway. He runs far more than Elway did and is far more athletic, but if Elway came up in this era, maybe they'd look a little closer.

He'd be well outside the top 15 - perhaps a poor man's Kirk Cousins or maybe a better version of Derek Carr. No disrespect to Jimbo, but the game passed him by. He was far too reckless with the football and that kind of play will get you killed in today's game. He also had no athleticism and would eaten alive by today's defenses.

<5%

This is every decent team in the league with a star QB, especially us.

Exactly, though if your model has the Packers ranked #1, I suggest you fine tune it

He's clearly playing injured without using his arm at all a lot of the time. Milano is my favorite Bill, but they need to sit him down until he's healthy. Williams represents a significant upgrade over this version of Matt.

I always thought "power rankings" were pointless since they are always correlated to Win-loss record. Anyone can just look that up without needing someone to write a column about it.

I can't think of a achievement I care about less. Stay healthy, keep working, and figure out a way to win the chip in the playoffs. They could start resting guys now as far as I'm concerned.

Apparently not great, given Gisele left him for a jiu-jitsu instructor.

Take away the most critical advantage we have? ok. Pointless discussion anyway as we won' be getting a dome for at least 30 years.
