In Summary

...plus, I'm not convinced that having had off-season back surgery, he's going to be 100% this year.

Cover1 is out with some good video breakdown of the D. Unfortunately, I didn't see them break down the Jets running TD. Not sure how the middle got so open (???). Looked like good Jets blocking. I don't think there is any fundamental problem with the D. More of a drop in talent and athleticism with the safety and LB depth. Jets loss was on the offense.

Maybe lots of the "push the QB forward" plays...

Any talk of "Spirit" without mentioning Randy California is wrong.

If Dawkins had prime Incognito next to him he'd be viewed differently.

Josh will pull it together. Would like to see his body language improve. Arguably he gets into his own head more than the opponent. Hopefully Dorsey is playing the calm "dad" figure with Josh when he gets frustrated. Kelly would throw a couple picks and act like "no big deal" and come back and win. Never gave the either team an indication that he was frustrated or beaten. I used to wonder how he could just sluff it off, but in hindsight, he kept command.

Perhaps, but getting Wilson to one dimension is a legit goal. How would you stop the long Jets drive?

I hate when our D line gets pushed around and we can't stop the run.

27-20 Bills.

Many young men naturally seek opportunities to test their strength and compete in arenas with risk. Video games and TikTok can't scratch the itch like playing tackle football, joining the Infantry, MMA, etc. It's a gamble to play, but those that do, and get out at the right time are stronger for it. We can certainly care for players while at the same time enjoy their intense play.

Ditka was quite strident. Acted like he getting Gale Sayers plus Walter Payton in one player.

Bad news for me. I love skiing and Winter activities. 🤨

If it blocks the wind, then it's a winner. I expect that a few competent aero/fluids engineers will solve that.

Biggest difference may be about the RB. Thurman led the league in total yards for 4 years in a row. Team identity and fan buzz was very much centered on Thurman and the run game. He was a gem.

An insane amount of future draft capital and not something I'd ever want the Bills to do. These are the picks that play on rookie contracts and keep you from having to dump your core starters.

Not sure I see Brady as someone who could easily give honest praise for others. Have to see if he's a phony when he goes to the booth.

What a miss to let him go. Maybe he was the wrong type of athlete for McDermott/Daboll.

Agree. However, I'm wondering if Brown has a lingering back issue.

See how he comes out of the bye week. Maybe a new attitude and new girlfriend. Get back to the basics of being a filthy rich NFL star.

Jones helps make all the rest look good. Can redirects plays in addition to tying up two OL. Frees Edmunds up to not have to crowd and play straight on against the run or Poyer to have to take on a runner with a head of steam. Just my opinion. Miller is great so when he plays great it's not really that interesting. It's these guys that don't ever get their name mentioned that play lots of snaps at a consistently good level that are the most interesting to me.

Speaking personally, this can happen.

Jets didn't have to contend with Tennessee or KC and other than Buffalo, their remaining schedule isn't that difficult.

Singletary and Milano/Miller.

Little media and NFL push to celebrate defensive greatness in my opinion. No buzz like with the Steel Curtin, '85 Bears, Bermuda Triangle, etc. Probably doesn't sell or play well with the casual highlight loving fan. Anyone can digest a long pass or run and keep their dopamine flowing. Defensive stops? Not so much unless there is an interception or forced fumble involved. Plus, there is little promise you'll see the brutal head-hunting hits of the past.

A 2nd and a 1st spent on RBs this year? No way.
