If the trend continues Lamar will win it but if it’s one game that his team won anyway I doubt it. If the ravens don’t win the division Lamar has no chance no matter what he does
I’m hoping Lamar lays an egg vs Houston and loses. I know it’s wrong, but I would prefer KC just wins and clinches the 1 so it’s an easy choice to rest vs the pats at least.

If Chiefs win and Ravens lose, we're locked in as the second seed.
Yep, would actually be a hell of a Christmas present, just bubble wrap the starters till the playoffs.

Jackson had an equally bad INT...maybe worse even.
Yes, but far better overall game.

Not a good game for the MVP race, the INT really makes it ugly. It shouldn’t matter, but recency bias is real. If he wants that award he better ball out against NYJ because that’s his last game if KC wins agains Pitt.

Wilson is younger than Cousins and had no significant injury history. And, unlike Cousins, Wilson in the not too distant past, was a bona fide, Super Bowl-winning franchise quarterback. Even with all that, Wilson was available for free and was not handed the starting job in Pittsburgh. In fact, he started the season on the bench, behind Justin Fields...
He had been injured quite a bit and he was in fact named the starter, but in the bench bc of his calf injury, but hey, whatever you want to think is fine w me.

Looking like the Rams game all over again, this D is absolutely going to get them bounced early in the playoffs.

What a ridiculous contract they gave a 36 year old QB coming off an Achilles Tear...now it's an albatross for another 3 years.
Not really, if they cut him, they are on the hook for no more than any other team at QB next year, Penix just has to perform.

Winston and DTR are probably gone after this season. The Browns can't afford the cap hit if they cut Watson but everybody has seen enough of him. Cousins would step in as presumptive starter.
I could see Clev, NYJ, Pitt, NO, etc all being a place with enough talent to compete and the need for a starter. Cleveland is an interesting option as they need a real QB and they can’t cut their giant mistake, so it makes a lot of sense.On 12/21/2024 at 1:28 PM, mannc said:No one is going to bring him on as a starter…if he wants to keep playing, he’s going to have to accept that.
Oh I don’t think that’s the case, he’s got a good history and QB need is a huge problem, Wilson got a job after playing like dog sh*t all last year.

Cooper for 150 and 2 TDs Sunday
Would love to see it IF it’s organic, not if it’s Diggs 2.0. I actually think they will actively try to focus on the outside guys this game, I see Coleman getting more, but mostly bc Coop will get the attention.

Mahomes is a dawg, like him or not, he’s going to play if possible. I hope he’s awful and they lose the next 4 in a row, but it doesn’t change what he is and he’s a tough, big time player. I hate his voice, his walk, his team, and basically everything about him bc he’s not a Bill, but I respect his game.
-
I think we see a conscious effort to feed Coleman and get him ready for the playoffs, so I’ll be looking at him for 6+ catches.

I don't know if you follow the Bills but they had a unique situation with one of their WRs - Diggs. He was a locker room cancer and a decision needed to be made on how to deal with his future. The FO decided to trade him. Trading him put the team into difficult cap constraints.
So no, this was not business as usual. Any plan at that point was going to have drawbacks. What was yours?
Obviously it was an audible, but also done too late in the game. Even WITH Diggs they needed 2 more outside guys and did nothing. This was a case of either gross incompetence or relying on hope as a strategy, it blew up and cost them a 3rd round pick for a half year player. It’s piss more asset management, no matter how you want to shape it. -

Was it just "really lucky" out of Beane or was it his plan all along?
You're suggesting he got this idea after the Houston game whereas I believe he had the outline of the plan in his head prior to letting Diggs go. Beane may not have known the exact WR but I tend to think he planned on getting one. The drafting of only 1 WR was a signal to me that the Diggs position was not going to be a full rebuild situation. The lame additions of Claypool and MVS were never serious candidates in most of our minds (with the exception of a few that the OP appealed to).
If it hadn't been Cooper it easily could have been someone else. DHop/D Adams/D Johnson That's not luck, that's a choice.
Yeah, I’m sure it was a plan to bring in a guy who’s not familiar with a system at mid point in the year and hope he catches on to replace the 100 catches Diggs had put up for years, especially to give up a 3rd for a half year rental.

This really illustrates how all these jerks in the media care only about being proven correct and nothing else. They fall over themselves to get the clicks with their hot takes, then they're so desperate to be the ones to say "You heard it here first" or "I was right" that it clouds their view of said player for the rest of time.
There were still guys desperate for Allen to regress this season so they could say the last several years were all down to Diggs
Isn’t it crazy how many people were claiming it was all Diggs that made Allen, now what? Well now the MVP talk and suddenly, the Bills and Josh Allen “with all his weapons”, have the best offense in football. It’s a joke. At the start of the year they didn’t have a single 1000 yard receiver on the team, now they added the ghost of Cooper and he’s getting credit for opening things up lol.😂 -

I don’t think so. Yes, he’s subject to waivers, but a guy of Campbell’s status is likely respected enough in league circles to call his shot.
I agree though, it’s a long shot, unless we can convince him he has a much better chance to win a ring in Buffalo over Baltimore (which in fairness, he probably does).
Its almost agonizing how much he would likely help this DL… and DL has been what’s held us back year after year.
I think he’d be a major help, but I’d bet a dollar he’ll be going to Baltimore.
-
So we need to lose out to have a shot at him, what could go wrong?

Getting refunds for your tickets is one thing. And even that is bad because people bought tickets for a reason. But will they reimburse people for all the travel costs, since many people travel to follow their team? What about the time off from work? What an idiotic and thoughtless idea.
You know the answer to that, no chance. The thing is, until it hits their wallet, nobody is going to care. The NFL absolutely abuses the privilege it has with its loyal fan base. It won’t last forever.

Is it just me or do the Ravens big completions always seem to have guys running wide open. At least 3 of his 4 TDS looked similar to this in openness. This is why the eyeball test matters and not just boxscore analysis. Giants suck too! The one to Justice Hill had the entire side of the field vacant.
E V E R Y time. Lamar completes more wide open passes than you will ever see in the NFL, by anyone else. To his credit though, they are wide open because of his legs scaring coordinators. There’s always a spy on him and that means the D is playing short handed, once it breaks down it’s really over.

This is the stuff I don’t get. Why is it a thing between Josh and Lamar? They both are great in their own right. Josh was doubted a ton (hand up). Well, Lamar was told to switch positions after winning a Heisman trophy. They both are awesome.
Allen should win but Lamar is having an awesome year in his own right.
It’s not really Lamar the I despise it’s the Baltimore fans who refuse to admit he’s not a top tier passer and want to claim he’s better than JA because of the MVP awards. Yet, the statistics (and eye test of any rational human) says JA was/is better than the MVP each time he won. So this year, the media is off Lamar because the Ravens aren’t front running and he actually has stats to back him for once. I just appreciate the change in script.
Also, I’ve noticed those same idiots seem to have dropped the “Allen is nothing without Diggs” 😂

I didn't mention this in the OP, but I wonder is the original off-season plan was to have Samuel play the slot and move Shakir to Diggs' job. Shakir has developed into a great slot, but his combine numbers and physical traits are nearly identical to Diggs including height weight with Shakir being slightly faster. However, once MVS, Claypool and Samuel got hurt in camp, the plan changed and Shakir moved back into the slot to give Josh a go to safety net.
Plausible explanation, I would actually think Shakir would be more likely to be pressed outside based on the team needs through camp.

He was always a slightly-above average player who was constantly hurt with Carolina and especially Washington. Seemed like a panic signing just to get a veteran wideout on the roster.
I don’t think it was a panic thing, they could have gone him or Hollywood Brown, both have flashed in the past and both came “cheap”. I think they genuinely didn’t think they needed anybody to take the outside role/stretch the D, which proved to be wrong. Thankfully, Coleman came around as a decent outside threat, then they got Cooper ( who clearly is allergic to the football in this O), now it’s a numbers game and he doesn’t have Josh’s trust bc of missing so much time early and there are 6 guys in front of him for touches.
-
I’m going to drive to Baltimore to collect the tears of Lamar supporters if Josh wins.
BTW, Josh is the leader and the ironic part is, for the first time ever, Lamar ACTUALLY has the stats to win. Lamar has better stats in virtually every meaningful category, aside from a few more sacks and less rushing TDs, but he has more passing TDs to make up for it. If it were all about stats Lamar should be leading, thankfully the narrative seems to be in JAs corner for once.

His major achievement is costing the Bills games in the national spotlight. McClappy is McDone in the COTY conversation. Besides the Vikes have A BETTER record with Sam Freaking Darnold at QB. There’s zero hope.

The Coleman slow jokes are funny but after a while they kind of are super duper overplayed LOL
The dude is not running in quicksand.. he can run 17 18 19 20 miles an hour
The whole premise of a guy being 2/10ths (may be 3/10ths) of a second slower than a “burner” at 40 yards, is stupid at baseline. He’s plenty fast, if he has any real issue it’s getting separation from defenders, not so much because he’s too slow, but maybe not quite sudden enough or quite smooth enough in his movements, depending on the situation. I think some of that can be taught and he’s got a good skill set to work with at baseline, he’ll be fine.

I wish the NFL would just flat out mandate the at least the ability to close the roof on all new stadiums. To not put a dome on a stadium in that climate is just stupid, but it’s NY, I expect no less.

I don’t know, I don’t like the odds of KC losing 2 in a row, at this point I say let them wrap it up, Bills get one more win or Ravens one more loss, take a week (or two) off in the regular season and be ready to play ball in the playoffs. They absolutely cannot afford injuries going in.
Honestly, I think he’s got a real point and it’s not a terrible bet. We all know how much the media loves Lamar.
