Didn't your mother ever tell you pointing is rude? JOSH ALLEN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A ROLE MODEL! Brb... gotta go burn my jersey now 😭

Obviously not. It's literature.

Nuh uh! The 0 tech is actually a nose guard!

Good for him. Russ completely threw away any chance for them to win. Daboll will save his job if Dart gives fans even the slightest bit of hope & shows promise after his first year.

I'm not sure what the exact numbers are, but here are the largest TV markets (only for NFL teams), and yes, it doesn't include Canada: 1. New York City 2. LA 3. Chicago 4. Dallas - Fort Worth 5. Philly 6. Houston 7. Atlanta 8. D.C. 9. Boston 10. San Francisco - Oakland - San Jose 11. Tampa - St. Petersburg 12. Phoenix 13. Seattle 14. Detroit 15. Minneapolis - St. Paul 16. Denver 17. Miami - Fort Lauderdale 18. Cleveland - Akron 19. Charlotte (Raleigh-Durham is a separate, but right below Charlotte) 20. Indianapolis 21. Nashville 22. Pittsburgh 23. Baltimore 24. Kansas City 25. Cincinnati 26. Las Vegas 27. Jacksonville 28. New Orleans 29. Buffalo (#54 largest TV market overall, with Rochester & Syracuse considered separate TV markets) 30. Green Bay - Appleton (though Milwaukee is a seperate market that would be ranked #26th by itself)

I agree. People will watch small - medium market teams as long as they're good. Yes, teams like the Cowboys will draw viewers regardless, but people prefer watching good teams! Look at the NFL games with the highest ratings last season (non-playoff / non-holiday): 1) Chiefs vs Bills - 31.1 million viewers 2) Chiefs vs Ravens - 29.2 million viewers 3) Chiefs vs Bengals - 27.9 million viewers 4) Ravens vs Cowboys - 27.3 million viewers 5) Chiefs vs 49ers - 27.1 million viewers 6) Packers vs Vikings - 26.4 million viewers 7) Packers vs 49ers - 25.2 million viewers 8 ) Eagles vs Ravens - 25.2 million viewers 9) Chiefs vs Falcons - 25.1 million viewers 10) Bears vs Commanders - 24.9 million viewers 11) Eagles vs Cowboys - 24.6 million viewers 12) Lions vs Packers - 24.2 million viewers 13) Chiefs vs Chargers - 24.2 million viewers 14) Lions vs Cowboys - 24.1 million viewers 15) Bills vs Rams - 24 million viewers So yes, the Cowboys appear 3 times on that list, but teams like the Bills, Chiefs, Packers, Ravens, Vikings, Bengals, etc. all show up on there. That being said, teams like the Cowboys, Giants & Bears draw a high average viewership. Checkout the viewership data from last year. It proves small market teams still draw good viewership as long as they're good (but also that Cowboys / Giants will draw no matter what).

Of course I left them off, because those were clearly good uses of our 2nd round picks.... Did you read my post at all? The point wasn't we've NEVER had a good 2nd round pick, only that we've wasted plenty of them on players not as valuable as Aubrey is. I listed the years next to each pick, so it's clear I wasn't trying to hide it to "fit a narrative" (unless you think I magically forgot years 2022 & 2023 exist). Did we, or did we not, spend 2nd round picks on the players I listed? Are ANY of them top 2 players at their position like Aubrey? Do we want to win THIS year, or do you want to wait a couple more seasons to see if Sanders or Bishop pan out? Because the point was we've wasted 2nd round picks on worse things before. I'm not worried about what a 2nd round 2026 might do in the 2026 season, especially given how likely it is that they end up being nothing special. Meanwhile, Aubrey is ALREADY special. If someone told me right now I could get Brandon Aubrey for Cole Bishop straight up, I'd take it. But clearly you think Bishop (or Sanders) will help us win a Super Bowl THIS year.

We got up on them 38-21 (4th quarter) last year, and Goff was up to the task. Rallied them back as much as possible, 48 - 42 (though it wasn't as close as the score looked). Still, he threw for nearly 500 yards & 5 TDs against us (with 0 turnovers). Goff isn't a weakness at all.

Ravens fans won't mind, as long as Lamar's passer rating is protected.

Lions got balls! Montgomery is having a day! Wish we could've ran like that against Baltimore.

It sounds stupid, but given what we've spent 2nd round picks on in the past, it'd be a better use of the pick than most. 2019 - Cody Ford 2020 - AJ Epenesa 2021 - Boogie Basham 2024 - Cole Bishop 2025 - TJ Sanders I'd take Aubrey over any of those guys, though TJ still has a chance to be good. He's also not wrong how good it would be to add a kicker like Aubrey. I'm sure we can all remember missed FGs that hurt us in the past. We also wouldn't have to go for it on 4th so often if we knew Aubrey was back there to kick from anywhere. Would I prefer they could find a CB or WR? Definitely. But it's unlikely we'd find anyone near the top of their position like we would Aubrey, plus their contracts would be more expensive.

How amusing would it be for next week's big Sunday afternoon matchup to be the 1-2 Chiefs vs the 1-2 Ravens? Sounds like a huge game, but one of the 2 would be going to 1-3. C'mon Lions!

C'mon guys... At least remember his name is Marcell *DAREUS.* It wasn't THAT long ago!

I mean, I'd prefer to play them over the Chiefs or Ravens, but teams with a great run game always give us fits. Indy could run all over us. We'd have to hope for turnovers & for the offense to carry us in a high scoring game.

I hope the Bills are paying attention to these ST plays & make sure they're prepared. They almost had that final FG blocked in week 1. I also don't remember the last time the Bills have blocked a FG, but all 3 I've seen today happened with the player coming right over the center.

OMG! Now the Jets block a FG & return it for a TD?! WTF is happening

Eagles having back to back blocked FGs to win the game... They've got a horseshoe up their ass to pull that off.

That's not required for a West coast offense though. It's not about having a fullback or being under center most of the time, it's about the short passing game, stretching the field horizontally & picking up 1st downs over taking big shots. Not really much to do with running the ball any particular way or having a set formation.

I know... I've hit a knew low quoting myself! What's next, becoming a Jets fan? I'm concerned rock bottom might be right around the corner 😭 But yeah, I don't genuinely care how skinny Kincaid is. If he plays well, he can look like the 28 Years Later zombie & I'll be cool with it.

I don't know what the original thread was titled, but it was probably more understandable than "[Incomplete Title]"

Yes, I'm quoting myself. People do realize the upside down face implies I'm joking, right? You know, like we all rag on Keon for being slow? Just want to make it clear I don't really care how skinny Kincaid is 👍

Why are we the only team that doesn't expect our 1st - 3rd round rookies to not do much? I see this same comment every single year, all while we have late round guys prove that rookies can, in fact, do something! When we get Haisrston back, is he just going to be another guy that rides the bench & only goes in a few times a game? Or do we expect this season to be a big nothing burger & that we used a 1st on him in preparation for next year?

Because any time this defense faces a semi competent QB with weapons, they can't do anything. Anyone above Bo Nix in skill will have no trouble. Missing Oliver & Milano only makes that worse.

Those are all McDermott's draft picks. 1st, 2nd & 3rd rounders at that. Granted, Tre's career was derailed by injuries, but we knew that 2 years ago. McDermott is the one who signed him back & started him.

And this is why I say just continue using high draft picks on offense. McDermott & Beane could have 3 straight drafts going all defense & still not get it figured out. Our only hope with this regime is for Allen & Co. to dominate. The Baltimore game proved that much.
