Talking to a girl I hang out with sometimes who lives just south of Charlotte. She votes for Democrats. Hates Trump. Yada yada. Says she thinks it’s awful but doesn’t understand why it’s a political issue. Therein lies the issue. White women vote for this stuff but detach themselves from any responsibility for it.

Every. Single. Thing. about this story is absolutely f***ing enraging. From the animal that killed her, to the lib judge that frees these animals, to the media coverage/lack thereof, to not one f***ing person on that train checking on her as she bled out, confused and scared, dying. Everyone involved in this needs a light shined on them… the judge, the animal, the other passengers. We dragged a Karen for taking a baseball from a kid… we should do far more to all involved in this.

QB - Bills OL - Bills RB - Ravens TE - Push WR - Push DL - Bills LB - Push CB - Push S - Ravens If you go by position, it seems pretty even. And I’ll admit, some of my breakdown is biased as I believe in the potential of Keon & Palmer.. the potential of Kincaid, Knox & Hawes. Ravens DL is far stronger against the run, but Bills DL has far more pass rushing potential. The issue is that Henry is so much better than any weapon we have. And the Ravens Safeties are so much better than anything we have. Henry changes the entire dynamic because he’s a legitimate MVP candidate next to Lamar. On the backend, we currently might have one of the worst Safety situations in the NFL, whereas the Ravens have a DPOY candidate back there alongside a RD1 pick. The high end talent of Henry and Hamilton alongside Lamar clears, by far, the high end talent we have alongside Josh. Which.. rinse and repeat… its been this way for a while amongst all Josh’s peers.

Fair point.. and the Jets looked decent against the Steelers. They don’t have the Secondary of the Ravens, but do have a pass rush. That said.. I think Buffalo’s Defense was thoroughly embarrassed by that Ravens game and will be looking to right some wrongs against Baltimore-lite in the Jets.

McCarthy has literally gone from 0-100 Where on earth did these last two drives come from?

Kickers are either terrible or otherworldly this weekend.

Bishop actually got close enough to be embarrassed on some run plays. Rapp might as well been a traffic cone on half those plays.

Jets Offense looked like Ravens-lite against the Steelers. Their Defense doesn’t have the Back 7 the Ravens have, but they have a pass rush.

Still want to see Keon win consistently in structure. If he can do that, we’re talking legitimate WR1 ability. Thats not all on him either.. Its on Brady putting him in good position and Allen learning how to throw to him on 50/50 balls.

I’d be suprised if we do anything yet. I think they’re probably wanting to give them up to the bye to solidify the Safety position, at which point they might start looking at what’s available before the trade deadline.

Looked like he’d never seen a read option before in the first half. Looked like a top tier EDGE is still inside him later into the second half.

I do believe this team has more of a ceiling than any of our recent iterations. I’ll acknowledge that. I just don’t know if i see anyone like Coleman, Kincaid, Sanders, Walker etc becoming a bucket getter by year end. The hope is probably that all those high ceiling guys add to the laundry list of A- and B+ guys around JA. Maybe Oliver/Bosa can give us that.

I mean.. he’s completely correct though. Mahomes wins with elite talents like Hill & Kelce. When they moved Hill, he was able to win with an elite Defense. Lamar has an AFC Eagles roster around him the past few years. They are loaded on Defense, have talent at TE/WR and have a RB that isn’t just elite.. he’s demoralizing and can single handedly control a game. Josh Allen has a good roster around him, but he’s very clearly relied upon FAR more than any of his peers… and he even elevates in the Playoffs, but so far… that still hasn’t been enough.

He needs consistency. If he finds that, he could elevate to an elite level DT. That type of talent is in him. Also.. Bosa was noticeable after he figured out how to defend a read option.. I have to think his presence helps open up things for Oliver in a way we haven’t really had before, aside from a few pre-injury Von games.

Honestly came away from that game thinking Rapp was a bigger issue than Bishop. At least Bishop could get to Henry’s stiff arm.. Rapp looked like he had two bricks for sneakers.

I hate how accurate this seems so far in his career here.

Thats great and all, but we’ll probably see them again in the Playoffs. Cant just hope they choke every time.

That defensive performance was insanely bad. It would be a huge mistake for the Bills FO/Coaches to follow this advice. Oliver was incredible and Bosa showed up in the second half. Benford made a play in clutch time. Those are nice pillars to build on, but that Defense we saw last night likely prevents us from getting to a Super Bowl… again. We get Hoecht, Ogunjobin and Hairston back. Sanders, Walker, Solomon and Bishop will get more experience and should get better & better with reps. But they need to drastically improve as the season goes on & it can’t just be a reliance on Baltimore choking in big moments.

I honestly don’t know what the plan is for the Ravens on Defense. We’re built to slow down the Chiefs, Bengals etc.. but anytime we play them in a big spot, we have 45 injuries and McDermott/Beane get an excuse. Against the Ravens, we have undersized, quick DT’s and undersized, quick linebackers. We need another plan aside from “load the box and hope Lamar spazzes” when it comes to a potential playoff rematch. Hairston & Hoecht could help, the rookie DT’s and Bishop need to get more reps (or sign Peppers), but we built this Defense knowing the Ravens pose a matchup threat.

Once we let Allen go, Palmer & Coleman turned into Chase & Higgins. No idea what the issue was for 3 quarters of the game. (As pointed out above, the Ravens did play softer, but once they had to tighten up, they still made plays)

Oliver looked like the type of guy we’ve been begging for on this DL. That was an Aaron Donald level performance. TFL’s, a sack, forced fumble. Rest of the Defense has a lot to work on, but he was an absolute unit out there.

Beane can’t whiff on Defense AND Wide Receiver. This is getting old.

Not one receiver on our team makes that play for Allen.

Lamar is great.. so Lamar defenders please don’t freak out, but the game is SO EASY for him. Wide open receivers and routine plays going for 30.
