  1. Don't stress, this probably isn't going to be our year. Just enjoy what you can & hope Allen balls out. At least that way we'll have some hope for the future!
  2. Considering how dangerous this game is, it's a miracle when any non-QB can make it through a season without a significant injury. There are multiple injuries every game, so you just have to hope after 17 games, you have less major injuries than the other guys. Does anyone think Douglas, Benford, Oliver, Bernard, etc. will all avoid injuries for 17 games? Unfortunately, I expect that won't be the case. I hope Milano can come back, but we've heard things like that before. Just hope Josh, Keon, Kincaid & the OL stay mostly healthy, as they're our only shot this year.
  3. Don't worry, I'm sure the group we have at the end of the year will be completely unrecognizable! No need to get attached 😅
  4. Anyone who says our WR corps is GOOD is being dishonest, or they're so optimistic they've convinced themselves of something silly. Pre-deadt, people were begging for a WR2 upgrade over Gabe when we still had Diggs. We lost both, then scoured low cost, low ego guys from other teams hoping to scrape something together. Claypool & MVS were rolling the dice, no real expectations. Coleman is our only true investment in the future. If your own GM is admitting publicly they took a step back (and taking a step back from a position most fans already thought wasn't good enough), that tells me we are anything but "better."
  5. What a silly thing to say... It's a clear problem, not just some throwaway stat you can shrug off. Dead last, and you say "who gives a ****?" Points matter, right? Just because you're successful at other parts of the field, doesn't mean you can ignore one of the most important parts. You know these embarrassing upsets we have year after year? Losing to the Urban Meyer Jags, blown out at home against the Colts, losing to the Jets without Rodgers, beaten by Mac Jones, etc. etc. etc... Maybe not being dead last in a very important area of the field would help get us some extra points? Then again, so would not committing so many turnovers, but apparently Josh can't be blamed for that either because "who gives a ****? He's great all the other times!" But isn't the goal to IMPROVE & win a SB? The Chiefs being the #1 offense over that period & Bills being #2 means we're neck & neck, but they've made 4 SBs & we've made zero. Is it all for that reason? Obviously not. But aside from last year, we've had a higher ranked D & been right there offensively, so... So is it ST? Coaching? Obviously it can't be Josh Allen, so maybe we SHOULD care about "cherry picked" things like this if we're DEAD LAST & see if they can be improved...
  6. He played great, and he's got the weapons to really help him excel. The only thing I'd be cautious about is how well their new OC (Shane Waldron) will do after every opponent has tape on what he likes to do. He could be great, or he could be Dorsey. Caleb is definitely talented enough, but who knows how that offense will look deeper into the season.
  7. Well, we were the only team to truly get blown out, soooo.... Not that it matters. I do wonder if that means we're lacking depth, especially on defense, or if our new DC was just trying new things. There were a few other teams that lost by a double digits, but we're the only ones that lost by nearly 30 points 😅
  8. They might be "fine" as in "league average," but they're not going to be scaring anybody either. I like being optimistic, but no amount of positivity will magically WILL success into existence. I think they'll be serviceable, but looking around the league, there's a lot of teams with better WR corps than us, especially AFC rivals. We've got Shakir, Coleman, Samuel, Kincaid & Knox as our best receiving threats. That's not embarrassingly bad or anything, but it's not great either. These are how we stack up against other division contenders/playoff teams imo - Definitely or Probably Better than Bills: - Dolphins (Hill, Waddle, Beckham Jr, Jonnu Smith) - Bengals (Chase, Higgins, Gesicki) - Browns (Cooper, Jeudy, Njoku, Elijah Moore) - Texans (Collins, Diggs, Dell, Dalton Schultz) Maybe Better or On Par with Bills: - Chiefs (Rice, Brown, Worthy, Kelce) - Jaguars (Kirk, Davis, Brian Thomas Jr, Engram) - Colts (Pittman Jr, Downs, Adonai Mitchell, Granson) - Jets (Wilson, Mike Williams, Conklin) Worse or Probably Worse than Bills: - Ravens (Flowers, Bateman, Agholor, Mark Andrews) - Steelers (Pickens, Van Jefferson, Austin III, Freiermuth) Of course, a lot of this depends on if these guys can stay healthy or if the rookies live up to expectations, but I don't see our receiving threats as a strength. That being said, we have Josh Allen, so there's a good chance he can get more out of them than what they've done in the past.
  9. People always say this, yet we went most of Allen's career without a consistently good RB (let alone a great one)...
  10. I don't care if I'm in the minority, but all these "classic" uniforms that consist of plain white helmet + boring/basic logo don't look good to me. Not saying these modern, super busy, overly-designes unis/logos are better, but they're both just bad to me.
  11. If they spend $3.6 billion, they will definitely be hosting a Super Bowl at some point. Detroit, Minneapolis, New Jersey, etc all hosted SBs, and we all know the NFL can sell out anywhere regardless of price or location.
  12. I wouldn't mind. I know conventional wisdom is not to let them play except for a few series, but I'd really like to see them come out sharper in week 1 than the last few years. The win in LA a couple years ago was great, but it was still sloppy. Then you have the home upset loss to the Steelers & last year's embarrassing loss to the Rodgers-less Jets. We can't come out looking like that again.
  13. There is zero chance anyone in Mongolia is tuning in to watch NFL games... especially not for the BROWNS.
  14. So true! We don't know how drive in the snow ("we" as in other people of course)! Everyone tries driving normal speed & we get crashes everywhere 😅
  15. That's the most puny tornado I've ever seen. Back in my granpappy's day, he'd call that a "dust-devil!"
  16. Thanks... Give the Chiefs more motivation, that's just what we needed lol At least this will take some of the "overrated" talk away from Allen & finally direct it towards Lamar. People were in denial before, but this will get all the talking heads to finally look at things with a bit more scrutiny.
  17. I can't wait for Nick Wright to proclaim Caleb Williams a 1st ballot HOFer after tonight's game, even if he only watches from the sidelines.
  18. 1. Mahomes 2. Allen 3. Justin Jefferson 4. Burrow 5. Tyreek Hill 6. Myles Garrett 7. CMC 8. Lamar 9. TJ Watt 10. Nick Bosa
  19. Wasn't the only time we did this in the past couple decades with Troy Vincent? I think it's such a rarity because it's almost always a dumb idea. The only time you could justify it is if the person playing CB has significantly lost a step, you have nothing to offer at the FS position AND you have better available CBs than the one you're moving. We are not in that position.
  20. Crazy that Joe Flacco is that high up... Sad that Milano dropped so far, but that's what happens when you only play 5 games I guess.
  21. Yeah... this definitely looks like the Goodwill WR corps. Reminds me of how my team looks when I do fantasy draft in Madden. Force Josh Allen with my 1st pick, then go OL & DL until I'm left with bottom of the barrel WRs 😅
  22. I agree that your 2nd round pick should be starting, especially in year 2, but I disagree with the last bit... He hasn't been great at finding ELITE talent in the 1st round, but he's done well at getting good players (with only Elam being a bust so far).
  23. Or if Davis can hang on to a perfectly thrown pass that hits him right in the hands...
  24. I'd be more pissed if we lose to the Bengals in the playoffs again than any of the other predictions... Please just KO either KC or Cincy next time. That's all I ask!
