This turnaround phenomenon is getting rather interesting, especially when you consider the parallels. Geno Smith, Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold all started for franchises that are poorly ran. They all started year 1. Daniel Jones is likely going to be the next one on this list. Outside of the bad franchise part, perhaps an element exists just not being burdened by expectations. It has to be a bit much to be a 21 year old tasked with turning around a dysfunctional franchise. Most of which are still dysfunctional years later. To go into a situation largely free of expectations but with the experience of your past. It has to be a pretty damn good feeling for some of these guys.

Still like the shout song more TBH

Save the tricks for postseason as far as I'm concerned

What makes me laugh is the people already trying to cash receipts on "nailing" the Chiefs demise. Forget that fact that they have been predicting it incorrectly for 3 years now. It's week three, and the current starting WR's are Tyquan Thornton, a beat up Hollywood Brown, and JuJu. I wish they wouldn't figure it out, but they will enough to at least get in. At which point they're obviously dangerous to anybody.

This is about where I'm at as well. Although I think they will look a lot different with Rice and Worthy. They will need to fix the line. Mahomes was seeing ghosts vs the Eagles. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they really turn it around, but even so, not getting the bye and fighting in that division all year will take its toll.

It's an incredible statistic given the correlation to winning

You don't think they will make the playoffs?

flex after the seasons over

Week 2 McD Dunk thread….never gets old.

Cool, let’s do the McD, Playoff thread, bla bla bla again.

The Dolphins already had a season on the line game, at home, vs a bad opponent. They couldn't get it done. This is going to be a massacre. Bills 38 Dolphins 7 Take those alt lines for the Bills.

This game has the feel of a regime ender

Pretty bad indictment of people and politics with how desperate both sides are to ensure they can blame the party that doesn't agree with them. It's almost like this is three separate events. The death of Charlie Kirk, the pursuit of the killer, and the categorization of the killers motives. It should be pretty easy to call out which one of those three are most significant to people. But it doesn't appear like that's the case.

I never hailed Ben Johnson as the savior, but to think in two weeks we can say what he might have done here is a bit much. They still have a meddling QB, not the reigning MVP. It's a weird victory lap 8 months later is all, I mean, are we going to celebrate the failure of every new HC to validate our regime? I'm really happy with the way the season has started. Hopefully we can get actual validation in the form of a deeper playoff run vs a rookie head coaches 0-2 record.

His 0-2 record with the Bears is evidence of what exactly?

I don't think he set the edge the way we like. He's more of a penetrating DE in a 4-3. We prefer more anchored edge setting almost in the mold of a 3-4 DE. Von was a 3-4 OLB edge rusher in Denver. He was a traditional DE here and from a run defending perspective Bosa is much more in the mold of what we prefer.

I would use a turd reaction but we have no turd reaction. So be it, we aren't aligned here, but nothing more to add and I'm almost always on the same page with your takes.

No, we are talking about his time in Buffalo and if you want to go pre injury in Buffalo, I will double down. He couldn't set the edge nearly as effectively as Bosa can. He could win with his quickness at times but he lose gap integrity in the process.

Von pre injury was a massive difference maker for us. But I will say even before injury Bosa is a bit more complete. It’s important for us that our defensive ends can play the run so I think Bosa playing at a high level is probably a better fit for us.

Hard to tell who has the broken nose

Let’s try something that has never happened in twobillsdrive history. I will walk @Mister Defense off the ledge 😂. But in all seriousness, it’s never as good or bad as it seems. I’m thrilled at how Bosa has played thus far. I’m thrilled at the proposition of getting back a lot of talent as the season progresses. We will have some stinkers, we will make some plays. I hope to see progress as much as possible especially right now and after that dismantling by Baltimore. I think we can put a big old check for progress this week. It’s also nice knowing that even you have some doubts from time to time. Eternally optimistic or pessimistic are probably both off base.

I thought he got poked in the eye. But I never thought it was a serious injury. By serious, breaking a nose isn’t nothing. But ligaments or missing games, etc

I think what will hurt Glenn schematically is the man dependence. It’s how he likes to play and Allen has gone next level against primary man teams like the Jaguars or Lions last year. It really opens his running when everybody running with a WR

We are 1-2, with one three point win in NY the last 3 years. Missing Oliver, who kept this defense alive last week. As others have stated, this is basically Baltimore light. Betting line has been coming down. To me this is a no brainer. Its going to be a close game.

So non religious people can’t be moral?
