The NFL has too many teams. LA, and California generally, have too many NFL teams.
The Chargers seem like the perfect relocation team.
Yes, the NFL has too many teams, the talent pool is too diluted. They have screwed up the quality of the product, the problem is, nobody cares enough to stop watching.
Once the Saudis get done destroying the balance of the golf world, they should take a swing at the NFL. If they could pull off what they did to the PGA and pull a handful of top QBs to an alternate league, the NFL could crumble the way it deserves to. Imagine for a second if they pulled Mahomes and Allen to an alternate league and then landed some of the top college guys, who wouldn’t have to enter the NFL draft and can get paid more. It could disrupt the NFL faster than it did golf. All it would take is a well timed strike, catch a year when a couple of big QBs are hitting FA and there’s a solid young crop in college. Think about last year, they could have poached Lamar Jackson, CJ Stroud, possibly Rodgers, Brady, and had Herbert and Burrow in their sites, pulled in guys like Flacco etc as other guys. The league would blow up quick.

I don’t think there is a class of the AFC.
So if we didn’t choke, we would be undefeated?
So then us.Agreed, the league as a whole is lacking an elite team. SF is IMO the best, but Purdy can’t have a game like he did last game. Baltimore can be lethal, but I have a lot of questions. Buffalo should be the run away #1 seed, yet are not a playoff lock, it’s insane. Had this team remained healthy, I think the Bills would be considered SB favorites.

Fair points. Agree completely on the impact of sacks - some coaches rate them as similar to a turnover. But, I hadn't watched enough Broncos games to have a sense of whether Wilson was at fault or whether they were expecting him to operate behind scraps and turnstiles on OL.
I had the impression, the latter, but there may well be designed hot reads Wilson isn't taking, as well - he certainly had a pattern as a Seattle QB of ignoring the hot read to try to extend plays and create. (As Allen has done at times)
He does have 10 fumbles, only 5 fumbles lost FWIW.
The thing is, if they're going to bite the bullet, eat the massive dead cap next year, and move on from Wilson, What's the Plan at QB? They've been a bit too successful to draft a QB high. They still owe the Saints their 2nd round pick this year as part of the trade for Sean Payton so their maneuvering room in the draft will be limited.
At this point; and I do mean this seriously, Tyrod Taylor is superior to him in every way. Not only that, he makes Tyrod look like a risk taker.

I'm not a huge college fan so it depends on how many quality QBs are going to be drafted in the Top 10-12.
Your teams are the ones probably too far away to get one. So I kind of agree with you.
Denver will eat $68M in cap. A team trading for him would have him for 2 years with a total cost of $54M.
He has no dead cap after that so a team could move on after 2 years.
I can see someone doing that.
Nobody is paying that disaster 27+ a year, on the open market he’s worth MAYBE 15. Ok, reality like 5 as a back up, but his name might carry him. Better off w Mayfield by a mile.

They are telling players and fans that it was a screw up to sign Wilson.

The Ravens have struggled against inferior teams too. They struggled against the Chargers, one legged Joe Burrow, the Titans, the Cards and lost the Colts and Steelers.They aren’t the class of the AFC.
Who’s better? Really, who can you say is better? They have only LOST 3 games, the Bills choked 6 times, Miami is a fraud, it’s hard to take a Flacco lead team serious as the best, so who else?

I’ve had it. I am no longer even listening to anyone who says Lawrence is even a top-15 quarterback. He’s not. He’s a mediocre, overrated loser. He’s Derek Carr with Barbie’s haircut.
Friggin shameful we lost to him.
With you, the Jags are frauds. I think you nailed him. He’s a purgatory QB, just good enough to keep you winning enough games to get ***** draft picks and never get anywhere in the playoffs.
I know it’s not on now, but how about Flacco? Dude is playing good football.

Ed has finally been playing the way they thought he would when they drafted him, good to see.

Biggest take away for me, I’ll just put my TV on mute any time Collinsworth is calling a game from now on, I hate the sound of the man’s voice at this point.

I literally said it when Stick threw it back, I was sure we had given it up, thankfully their guy missed the fact he had 5 on 2 in front of him.

Well 23 seconds against a back up QB and I suspect McD has no answer.

There was some narrative early in the season that Allen was surrounded by bums. Josh is our best player and a top 3 qb but can we finally argee that there is legit good talent on this offense?
- one of the most improved (and honestly one of the best o lines in the nfl)
- a top 5 receiver
- a top 5 rb who is breaking out big time
- a 1st round TE who is emerging as one of the best receiving TEs in the nfl
obviously, Allen is the star but can we finally admit this is a really good group around him? How many groups are better? SF, Philly, Miami, and maybe Detroit?
This is almost as bad as the post I saw yesterday , proclaiming La Porta the best TE in the league and OROY.

Let him get back up to speed and then be active against MIA if everything is looking good. No need to thrust him back into the trenches against LAC or NE.
The only way either of those teams can beat us is running the ball, they both have good backs, I would not take them lightly. The Bills did a nice job against Pollard, but that said, they got 4 extra offensive possessions from Dallas stupidity (penalties and not challenging the Diggs fumble) and put them in a hole so a balanced attack was out the window.
Let’s not forget who the Bills have lost to this year, there are NO sure things. If they lose to a Stick and knock themselves out of the playoffs, I’ll be forced to quit watching football forever.

You’re not wrong… But players tend to come back much more slowly from ACL’s than pecs.
For example, TJ Watt had 10 tackles, 2 QB hits and an INT in his first two games back from a pec tear last year.
Milano had a sack, 5 tackles, 1 TFL, and 3 QB hits in his first two games back after he came back from his pec tear in 2020.
Because of the position he plays and the leverage he needs, this may be different for D Jones. But in general, we have seen players hit the ground running after a pec return.
I’m optimistic he can come back and play at a high level. Comparing what a NT has to do vs what a LB does is not similar. Watt and Milano can make an impact simply by being in the right place at the right time, Jones has to maul his was past a 300+lb man EVERY snap, hand fighting the entire time. Full strength in your limbs is vastly more important. It sure would be great to have him back and making an impact going into the playoffs. -

That’s a lotta beef in the middle. Having them rotate all game will let Oliver keep feasting. It would be a really nice boost for the final stretch here.
I think that’s more realistic, we can’t forget where Joseph came from. Relying on him to last the whole season at a high level is a risk at best, I’d rather have him play at 100% for 50% of his current snaps than 75% on any of them, assuming Jones is ready to go 100% for his reps of course.

If that is what this is about, I hope they don't rush him.
They're rolling right now and can afford to ease him back in very slowly.
Waiting to dress him for the Miami game would give them a nice bump and allow him another few weeks to heal.
Healed is one thing, ready to meaningfully contribute is another. See; Miller, Von .

DaQuan Jones is BACK - will play vs the Patriots

It’s a legs position anyway. If he has full range of motion with the arms he is plenty strong even with time off to handle his spot. It could actually be a major help for the team going into the playoffs. To have Linval and him available to take on the Ravens in the AFC Championship will be big 😉
