We win. I don't really care how it's done. I'll take another AFC notch, we'd be in great position. But I hope Baker melts down completely. If Allen is going to be playing clowns like him and Darnold (Rosen doesn't matter anymore) for years to come then I hope he truly gains the upper hand this weekend and proves he's in the top tier of that class, thus setting up the real argument of Allen vs. Jackson for the rest of the season and beyond. Dolphins win, Ravens lose, Steelers win. I think the Ravens are pretty much a lock but let's make the AFC even messier. A dream scenario would be Pittsburgh going on a run and taking the division, and the Bills and Raiders getting the wild cards. The Ravens are currently terrifying.

Yeah I'm following, so let them have the 6th spot. Raiders grabbing the 6th is a continuation of a best possible scenario season for the Bills. I'd rather the Raiders go on a run than the Chargers or Steelers personally. I'm clearly framing this optimistically and assuming the Bills are a 5th seed lock, but it looks so good right now.

Beat me to it couldn't agree more, especially with the current AFC jumble.

Already? The AFC is so muddled the Charges would have been legit WC contenders had they pulled it off, and they still scare me more.

Meh, it's so fun to pick on the Bills tee-hee. Just last year both the Chargers and Panthers were 6-2 at this point. Since then they've both taken a step backwards while their franchise QBs have seemingly aged and lost a step, which is definitely worse than our situation.

Except that McKenzie in motion was really messing with the Redskins which kind of negates your entire point. I think they did it every single play on that first TD drive. Yes, granted anybody could probably do it but perhaps he sells it better since he's liable to go 20 yards on a shovel pass. I think this thread is largely about McKenzie vs. Foster anyway, and I don't see how anybody can defend Foster at this point. Zay's gone, so if you move on from Foster as well then there should be room for both Duke and McKenzie. Unless of course you think that we should still just wait until next week again for Robert Foster to get his first reception of the year...

Singletary. I enjoyed the coming out party. For those keeping score he now has 7.1 yds per touch across 52 touches. Apparently the sample size was too small for some last week. I'm excited to see what he continues to do and think some are still selling him short. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he ends up spoiling the fantasy discussion and has a better game than either Chubb or Kareem Hunt next week

Check out these Cleveland alarmists acting like the Browns are some well-oiled machine. They'll FINALLY come out on all cylinders while our ho-hum inept team butt fumbles their way to 10 points or something. Get out of here, Cleveland is awful. Denver doesn't even want to win anymore but couldn't give the game away to these stooges today. Yes, Nick Chubb is worrisome, but in reality Kitchens will probably inexplicably under-utilize him while Baker throws three first half interceptions. This Browns fear is hilarious. Has anybody actually watched that dumpster fire this year?

"bang average"? They won again today and are in the playoff picture in a much better NFC. It's lazy at this point to sell Philly short in an attempt to dump on this team. Yet they still can't even beat the Brandon Allen led Broncos. Cleveland is a mess.

Didn't some recently try to argue that Singletary doesn't need more touches? This offense is completely different with him on the field

You just agreed with a post that basically stated that years of experience has led to your distrust of doctors, so Williams is now a "mammoth idiot" for what, not being as old as you? He's retroactively an idiot because you in your old age have figured out that doctors are drug pushers? What an insane comment. Williams is not out of bounds for trusting his multi-million dollar medical staff.

Let's add 9 receptions and he's still at nearly 8 yards per touch. Why wouldn't you give him the ball more often? It really seems a better option than dismissing 29 touches as luck, or whatever. I truly don't understand why some are dismissing this rookie who was billed as a playmaker, and is currently living up to the hype? He just had a TD last week, where is this pessimistic attitude coming from? Of course you give him the ball more.

7.9 yards per touch across 20 rushes and 9 receptions. That's ALL open space? Seems to me he has some kind of burst to still be averaging nearly 8 yards after almost 30 touches. And hell burst or not, if he's practically going to get a 1st down every single time he touches the ball, I'd say that shows more potential to be a playmaker than anybody else on this roster.

My pessimistic B- is now a solid C. He definitely shouldn't be getting worse, I'm not a fan.

As does his blocking. He was a great story last year but I think he went undrafted for many reasons. We all know he's only here because of Daboll anyway.

Agreed, which is exactly why the should bet the farm on Mike Evans. Durable, 6'5" with a near-40" vertical. Let him bail out Josh on a regular basis.

I almost feel bad for him. Almost. Everybody and Mitch Trubisky's mother knew it was a reach.

Totally agree. It's always a weird argument because how do you classify the jumbled mess of #1 receivers after the clear-cut top tier? Like I'd rather have John Brown than any WR on the Giants, Dolphins, 49ers, Raiders, Broncos, Titans, Bears, etc. Isn't he kind of a #1 by default since he's our #1 and a better option than what about a dozen other teams have? i don't know, clearly this is a boring game haha.

You could absolutely count on Stevie and he did change several games (3 TDs against Cincy). Fitz trusted him and looked for him, and he often made the play. I think he fit the definition even if he clearly didn't have top tier talent after he left Buffalo. But I get it and won't die on an 8 year old hill, Stevie was right on the line.

Yes, I remember having this argument back when Stevie was a #1 receiver. He may have been like the 20th best #1 in the league, but he was undoubtedly a #1 receiver for three seasons. He wasn't Calvin Johnson at the time however and I think this is where people get confused - #1 receiver doesn't necessarily mean one of the top 3 wide receivers in the league.

Was thinking the same thing. I don't like how certain guys can seemingly never reach #1 status. Brown very well could be a #1, he's just not in the top-5 Julio Jones class. It goes out without saying that this team needs another WR whether it's a clear #1 (Mike Evans) or another solid 1B/2A (Allen Robinson). John Brown and a bunch of slot guys certainly isn't going to get it done.

Problem is that Robert Foster is the invisible man this year. His next catch will be his first of the season. I think we need to stop holding out hope for the guy, which makes our WR need even more glaring.

Hope we try to save Allen Robinson's career.

That was a beautiful TD. Allen looks great.

Yeah weather sucks, definitely a factor. Unless you're John Brown because he's a freak who catches everything.
