    Yeah, the Bills defense has played the Pats quite well recently. Much of the Pats scoring has come from the incompetence of the Bills offense in recent meetings. I’m more concerned with the Pats D than their offense. BB is really good at making young QB’s look terrible, and this offense still needs a real identity. That’s what frightens me the most. 

    The silver lining to may be that BB doesn’t have anything definitive to eliminate aside from containing Allen. 

    Rodgers and Brady, Wentz and Allen

    In last night's case, it was the supporting cast that let Rodgers down. I really thought that Graham should've caught that pass in the back of the endzone on the 2nd last Packers drive from the 1. But, I will say that Rodgers, I think, wanted to win it on the strength of his arm and checked out of run plays. That's what cost the Pack the game. Sometimes that wins them games.

     

    Allen, like Wentz can have the same fate on Sunday. But Brady seldom checks out of the smart play.

    IDK. With the way the Packers run game was going last night I might have abandoned it as well. Particularly with Williams out. That run game has serious issues. They haven’t gotten anything going this year with either back. Considering how well Jones and Williams did last year I’d say there’s a big problem with blocking schemes and/play design since they returned the entire O-line. 

     

    Mall of that might not have mattered though if Adams and Bulaga hadn’t gotten injured. Still, injuries happen, and a team has to find a way to win when they do. 

    Is Jason Peters the greatest Eagle of all time?

    That was an interesting question. I googled Eagles HOFers and came up with one guy I had virtually never heard of. Steve Van Buren. Check this out:

     

    "INDUCTED: 1965 When Steve Van Buren retired from the NFL in 1951, he was arguably the greatest player in NFL history. Not only was Van Buren the best running back in the NFL, he shattered any rushing record the league ever had. In eight NFL seasons, Van Buren rushed for 5,860 yards and scored 464 points (69 touchdowns). He averaged 4.4 yards per carry and left the NFL as the league's all-time leading rusher and scoring leader.

     

    "Van Buren saved his greatest performances for the NFL Championship Game. Van Buren scored the game's only touchdown in a blizzard at Franklin Field to give the Eagles a 7-0 victory over the Chicago Cardinals for the franchise's first NFL title in 1948. Van Buren was even better in the 1949 NFL Championship Game, rushing for 196 yards in a rain-drenched Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as the Eagles defeated the Los Angeles Rams 14-0. Those 196 rushing yards are still a NFC Championship Game (inherited the only NFL title game records) record. 

     

    "He was named to the NFL's prestigious 75th-anniversary team in 1994 and was a selection on the Pro Football Hall of Fame 1940s All-Decade Team.

    He was the Eagles first inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, elected in 1965.   'I've seen them all -- Jim Thorpe, Red Grange, Bronko Nagurski,' said former Eagles head coach Greasy Neale to the Philadelphia Daily News in 1957. 'But Steve's the greatest.' "

     

     

    Another I found was Pete Pihos, who was All-Pro (not Pro Bowl, but All-Pro, considered the best at his position in the league, for six of nine Eagles seasons. That's dominant. He played receiver, but went two ways as a DE.

     

    Sonny Jurgenson? Tommy McDonald? McDonald in one six-year period averaged 1.1 TDs per game, and that was when the passing game wasn't anywhere near as prevalent as it is now. Bob Brown, a first-team All-Pro seven times at OL?

     

    In any case, though, Peters has been a sensational player and a historical Eagle. By all accounts a terrific team guy. Will almost certainly rank in that team's top five or six players.

    I feel like you just quoted Wahlberg lines from Invincible. ?

    Some of those playoff losses were on Manning in at least 3 or 4 losses the Colts defense surrendered 21 or less points. But in general they did rarely post a good defense. 

    It can be put on him. However, 250-300 yards a TD and no INTs doesn’t really put it on him... It’s hard to say how much was on Manning. The issue with that Pittsburgh game IIRC was that they Steelers just ran it down their throats. The earlier playoff games I’m not going to count against him: 99’, 2000’.  In general the game plan against those colts teams was just run the ball and keep manning off the field. It worked until they changed the incidental contact rules.

    I just threw up in my mouth a little. 

    I loved Schwartz as an DC and thought we shoulda gotten an Offensive HC and kept him, but he's not a HC type of guy... 

     

     

    The Eagles do look like garbage, but I am super curios about how good this Packers team will be....

     

    Devante is my Fantasy WR, so keep feeding him please.

    Well, they beat the Bears and Vikings while still getting adjusted on offense. The potential is there. Gonna be fun to see. If they get the O sorted and find an identity they have super bowl talent.

    Mahomes is smart enough to take over the offense more and more as he gets more starts. Peyton wasn't Peyton his first few years. I think Reid is underrated as a coach but has weak points to his game. However I think Mahomes is just so unreal that he can win despite only having a good not great coach. I never really liked Dungy as a coach esp for Peyton but he was good enough. 

    The problem with the colts was defense. If a team contained Manning a bit they were in trouble. It’s why the Pats and Ravens gave them issues. 

    Shannon Sharpe doesn't think there is any chance the Pats even struggle a little on Sunday

    A week four win will not make them eat crow.

     

    Winning the division and going on to win the SB is the only way they eat crow.

    They still won’t. They’ll just try to change the narrative, retweet the three guys that liked Allen predraft, and move on while ignoring any egg on their face. Then they’ll start talking about how the pats will take back the division next season. ?‍♂️

     

    Might as well have some fun with it. 

    Tre and Dion with the bet

    If Tre lights it up with two picks, shuts down his receiver, and the Bills win, sure he'll get the call.

    If the Bills lose, especially badly, doubt Tre gets the call...even with two picks.

    If they lose badly despite Brady throwing 2+ picks McD will likely be looking for a new OC in the off-season or hoping Allen has a speedy recovery. 

     

    I could be wrong, but the last time I recall Brady throwing two picks to the same DB was a dolphins win on MNF. He just doesn’t do that unless he starts forcing throws.

    He is improving,  however Lamar Jackson is pulling away.  For a time I thought the comparison would be between Darnold and Allen, but it seems to be between Jackson and Allen.

    Coaching and team culture likely play a role in that. We’ve seen what McD has done here, and Baltimore is always stable. I can’t really say anything positive about the Jets, Cardinals, or sushi. The Browns are interesting, but Kitchens is inexperienced so we’ll see how it works out.
