Don't forget the stadium situation. I blame him for a lot, but I've let it go. This is a new team with a new owner, thank God.

Love the confidence. Wish I could share in it.

We don't have to implode, we just have to lose one or two more games than the eleven teams in contention for seven spots. Patriots are in our rearview mirror and if we lose Sunday we are no longer in sole control of our destiny. Time to get tough and I'd like to see us as close to full strength as possible for the upcoming stretch.

It's only when I recently accepted that we probably aren't going to deliver on expectations this year that I finally was able to let go of said expectations. Now if we go on a tear then I'm back on the hype train, but for now it's parked back at the station.

That's a little bold at this point. I think we need to show we can still win some games before we start talking about playoffs.

We have enough problems to worry about with consistency no matter what teams we face.

Thank you for putting how I've felt, but been unable to explain, on paper. Our wins just haven't sat right with me and it's because the lopsided scores did not properly reflect the on-field performance. Perhaps I just need to get used to this and ride the ups with the downs until we see what kind of team we are heading into playoffs. If this is just how our team operates, I'll accept that. The week 13 game against Bucs should be a fantastic test to see how things are shaping up.

I have no idea why my post copied itself three times, but I edited it. Sorry about that. It's one of those plays where most of the time you get those inches. I personally trust that better than our chances in overtime. But I also wouldn't mind the play you described.

Agreed on all counts. Very frustrating game to watch. We made that offense look better than it is. On top of that the pace was all over the place and watching two touchdown plays get flagged was infuriating, as was the lack of red zone production, as was our inability to gain a few inches on the final 4th down. Right call though. It reminds me of when Bruce Arians did it in Arizona, and he was quoted afterwards saying "I play to win". Hell yeah. I'm looking forward to the Tampa Bay game to see how well we'll match up against another playoff team after we've had some time to work on things.

Out of sheer ugliness alone I cannot support this.

Two touchdowns called back so I feel pretty good. I have a feeling we will see these guys again though, and at that point these costly penalties will be unacceptable.

We lost in the AFC championship last year. That's our greatest accomplishment in the last two+ decades. We're nowhere near deserving the label of potential dynasty, let alone actual dynasty. Let's see how this season goes first.

One of the tougher opponents we'll face this year so I don't expect this to be pretty, but I'm mentally prepared now for an ugly win or three throughout the remainder of the season.

There were a few good sound bytes, but half the interview was Rich trying to get an unfiltered answer out of Allen, which he is never going to do.

I think we'll be able to score just fine, so I agree with Dline. Would love to see Rousseau continue to be all over the QB.

Dunkirk Don? I don't get it but I'm curious because that's where I grew up.

I was thinking someone on D line, or a WR. Gotta get to Mahomes but we also need to outscore them, and also I think Diggs & Co. want revenge. He was the last to leave the field in the playoff loss, and I feel like in his mind he continued to stand on that field all off-season. There's no way he's forgotten the sting of that game.

I read every new thread.

Yup, don't care about power rankings.

Don't mind the team receiving some attention but this is borderline worthless until we show that we can beat the Chiefs.

This is one of those "get over the hump" games, which will make it so very painful if we lose. It's a must-win in my book.

This ridiculous post seems to be the hill you want to die on for no reason, so I'll let you do it.

I don't have to show anything. You're the one that made the terrible comparison. You tried to build up Josh Allen by putting Aaron Rodgers down when Aaron is doing almost the exact same thing every single week. You should have just praised Josh Allen and left it at that.

OP should have said those last two sentences and left it at that. My, how quickly "humble and hungry" has gone out the window. I think I would actually be embarrassed if one of my friends who like other teams saw this post. Not only is this a clear attack on a future Hall of Famer for no reason, but OP doesn't even seem to understand that Rodgers is sitting down with AJ Hawk (his former teammate) and Pat McAfee for half an hour every single week to be interviewed.

My guess is, right or wrong, the league doesn't want to be known for ending someone's career because they smoked pot. As you know many states have legalized it as medicine. It's only a matter of time until it's legal in all sports and all walks of life nationwide.
