We also had our two best defenders out, AND Levi Wallace out, so yeah, the defense was pretty different in that game.

Josh Allen, Cole Beasley, and Tre White

I meant they didn't NEED to lose their money. Buffalo should have been favored.

I thought that too, although I thought perhaps he had the receiver's arm hooked, but they didn't show a good angle on it. Maybe that's what the refs saw.

Well, I guess all the "savvy" gamblers lost their money again. And for no reason. Stop betting against the Bills.

Great block by Diggs on that TD!

More upside. He made a nice TD grab last week. Kroft doesn't really add much upside. He is decent. Knox, if he can develop, is pretty athletic and fast.

Wow, that's literally the opposite of how I feel on every single point.

And... another one. This is an undefeated team, too. And the announcers said drops was an issue last week.

Jeeze. I don't know if I have ever seen so many drops...

Exactly. These new rules just make way too much sense to get rid of.

I believe no. Too quick of a turnaround from yesterday's game I think.

I like how they aren't overdoing the fake crowd noise.

Instead we get the college bros who will just bro it up all night. Joy...

Yeah, I was legitimately confused when he called him that.

The announcers seem good. Not a fan of the Monday Night crew.

Great defense, but bad offense. Lock does not look very good at all.

Yes. Bill Belichick is still there.

And it also isn't a selling point to come to this division. You have the Bills and Dolphins on the upswing, and you have the GOAT coaching in NE. This division is suddenly one of the hardest to win in.

I feel like any decision an in-demand potential coach makes comes down to a couple things. They are, in order: 1) The QB situation 2) How much power they have been promised 3) Ownership and GM competence Having a lot of cap space just means you have no talent. It's a selling point, but kind of a lame one. The minute you take the job the clock starts. If you don't start winning significant games, you'll be fired within 2 to 3 seasons. So building a team from the ground up seems great, but it is also a huge risk.

Yeah, the players and coaches played the Raiders tough. They are clearly trying. They had a goal line stand earlier. The way you tank is by getting rid of talent. There's no incentive for a player to not try his hardest. He would be putting bad tape of himself out there and that could lead to missed opportunities. Similar with coaches. Coaches almost never survive a tank, so why would they play along and assist in themselves getting fired? Now, when it's clear you suck I can see the effort of players and coaches waning because then all you have to play for is pride, and sometimes that isn't meaningful enough. But they are too competitive to go out there and try to lose. The Jets suck. Their players and coaches aren't motivated or happy, I'm sure. The writing is on the wall that everything is about to get blown up.

Didn't a lot of money go against the Bills last week too? I think people are going to lose their money again. There's no reason the Bills shouldn't win this game. Obviously a loss is possible, but I don't think it is rational to believe that the 49ers are favored.

I feel like there is only two or three guys in the entire NFL that produce like that. If you play fantasy football there is Kelce, Kittle is hurt, and then an endless gulf before you get to the next TE's (Tonyan in GB and Hockenson in Detroit). Just not a lot of production there league wide when compared to WR's and RB's. So while I'd love to have our own version of Kelce or Kittle, I'm not sure that's realistic. We would have to luck into that player. They are a supreme rarity.

I'm assuming all of this is also affected by your schedule. Sometimes you face blitz happy schemes. Sometimes not. For instance, if you face Gregg Williams you pretty much know he'll be blitzing all game long regardless of who he is facing.

Likely no. But that's ok. Sacks aren't everything (but I sure wish we had a consistent double digit sack guy...)
