This may come as a shock to the Ravens but the Bills are also seeking vengeance. In fact if I am not mistaken 31 other teams all have a grudge on their shoulders after last year. Don't worry every player is coming back in the best shape ever and they have never felt better.

Are Fan Expectations Too High for Keon Coleman?

He is at the point he may not have his true fastball anymore, but it really doesnt matter. When the lights are the brightest he balls and that is the best compliment any athlete can get. I also think the Rams load manage him now which will deflate a QBs numbers a bit but is a very smart idea. Stafford gives me hope that Josh when his time comes to age can evolve and still be a really good QB that can win. Last season actually had me most excited with Josh to see him take what the opponent gives him rather then going for kill shots all the time. That will help him immensely extend his career.

Case and point supporting this. The games before and after the Bills Rams shootout which Stafford was quite good (320 yds 2 TDs) he had 183 yds vs the Saints and 160 yds vs SF. They won both games, but he was not a major factor. The biggest thing is in the post season he was really good again which does raise a QBs profile.

It is funny I think Stafford is more top 10 at this point and right around 10... but it shows with good coaching and a good roster he at times can perform in the top of the top... which is the inverse of his time in Detroit which was bad coaching most of the time with not great rosters where he was closer to being a top 5 guy but it never fully showed because of those factors. Pre LAR I would say no HOF, now thanks to the success with the Rams I would probably say yes. All three post seasons in LAR he has been really really good which helps his case with voters fair or not. He really did carry a skeleton of a franchise for a while which will do him will with voters now that he got a lot more regular season success and a ring.

This is pretty solid compared to some things people throw out. Honestly only change is maybe Tua 4-5 spots higher. I get we beat the crap out of Miami and he usually isn't great against us, but overall he is more in the Top 15 QB wise then not.

Tis what I heard. Moore I am holding my enthusiasm in check until I see him on roster week 1. I get the upside, but he has bounced around a bit which generally is not a good sign. -
1994 - Kelly & Reed vs Favre & Sharpe - NFL Throwback
corta765 replied to BigDingus's topic in The Stadium Wall
It is because in general football fans who only know the NFL 2005 on do not understand how much the game has changed and how protected the QB is now just by the rules alone. Between the protection of QB and the rules that limited what a defender can do against a WR on a hit the game favors big QB play over anything. Back before this it was way more common for average QBs to win SBs because the team itself mattered far far more and the stats by QBs looked far more pedestrian compared to now. That obviously wasn't the case and the eye test will show you how guys like Elway Kelly Farve were warriors between the hits and play they took. It is why you cannot compare era to era because the playing field changes every ten years and the game evolves. -

How I feel about Bills Raiders 2002. Rich Gannon was my fav QB at the time and those Raiders were fun to watch. Begged my dad to go, nope. INSTEAD he went with buddies who had a suite lol -

Of any WR on the roster I actually think Palmer is the one you may see the biggest bang from (Shakir not included he is a beast). Palmer has great separation skills and speed. In 2023 he was trending for a 1000 yd + year but got hurt. I could see him finding a larger role more the way people hope Coleman can. -

The Cowboys, Overexposed? Maybe. Overrated? .... You Decide
corta765 replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall
If you dont have Josh Mahomes Lamar or Burrow the ability for sustained success is quite difficult year in year out. From a purely macro view I illustrated over a decade period they had at most 8-9 equals or better in terms of regular season winning and accomplishments. I get everyone in todays world is SB or bust, but winning consistently does matter a lot because eventually things swing your way. KC pre Mahomes from 2010-2017 won 3 division crowns & made the playoffs five of the eight seasons up to 2018... but had just one playoff win. People viewed them as a pretty good team that was successful but lacked a QB (sorry Alex Smith) to get them to that next level. Part of that was because they would lose to teams with better QBs come playoff time. Dallas isn't much different, Dak is a solid QB but no one is confusing him for being top 5 in the league and if they are thank the media for that. The basic premise of being a good team should be consistent success over a long period of time. Over the last decade Dallas has demonstrated that to level greater then SF, but everyone just looks at the SB piece. Dallas has probably done more right then wrong, but yes their owner interferes because of his ego and the QB is not a world beater either so like every team not running Josh or Mahomes out there they are flawed and need luck come playoff time. Truthfully the best organization in football is the Eagles because they have been winning for decades with Lurie and throwing good QBs, bad QBs, various head coaches etc.. no matter they draft well, invest in their roster, constantly try for good coaches, and most importantly the owner writes checks but otherwise stays the heck out of it. There is 100% a major truth if Jerry Jones would shutup and just write the checks the Cowboys would probably have made a SB or two by now. -

Yep. A nice Saturday or Sunday where you get the yard work done then football time and it is warm enough to leave the windows open where the cool air feels good as the sun fades is elite as hell. November football also the stakes are super high across the board and many teams both NFL/CFB are fighting for their lives. -

There is something about those Sundays in November in the Northeast once daylight savings hits that is slightly comforting but also a bummer because you know winter is coming. -

So here is the thing. Daniel Jones best season came (and he was pretty decent) with Barkley in the backfield. If you are going to pay Jones the money you might as well pay the guy who helped him get to that point also. Maybe Jones would have developed more from there too where Barkley was a little more expendable, but to me it was foolish all the way around. Either go in on the experiment which paid off with both doing well or just reset the deck completely. They picked the middle (which many teams do) and wasted time and years they could've been building a nice base. It is legitimately wild that a franchise that has had Fouts, Brees, Rivers, & now Herbert who is good... saw their only SB appearance with Stan freaking Humphries. There has to be some weird curse where they are allowed success and good QBs that teams would kill for... but no post season glorly lol
