Doesn't the idea of the 6 or 7 seed Chiefs coming to the 1 seed Buffalo's house in January just put a chill over your heart.

I’d love to pad our stats with an 80 yard TD

I think they are just trying to preserve Shaq in a way. He is old and oft injured. not sure he can play 20-30 snaps weekly.

Admitting this at the onset is like throwing a steak in the kennel lol

It’s comical at this point. See you in April when you start to believe that Beane has learned his lesson and he spends another couple premium picks to make healthy scratches on the DL. He’ll throw like $8M AAV at some JAG WR and we’ll all hope and pray

The injury history will be why the Saints may be squeamish on paying him #1 WR money. And honestly, when you neglect a position so long, you don’t get the luxury of being picky.

He covers for OCT a lot.

Deone Walker is a legit star in the making.

Olave should be the target

Knowing McD, he’ll fire the OC or ST coach

Spencer Rattler hasn’t looked this good since high school. McD is a Hyde and Poyer merchant.

We are getting outcoached by Kellen Moore

We need another 2-3 offseasons spent entirely on defense before we can know for sure

They would’ve had to beat the Seahawks offer. With a 1st round rookie on the bench. I don’t think Sam having a solid stretch the last 1.25 years has proved anything yet. I will never give a franchise too much grief for trying to upgrade from solid at QB. The Bills were more than happy to walk away from a “solid” QB at the time in Tyrod to try to upgrade.

Yeah the Ravens have a superior offensive cast to the Bills, that's not debatable to me imo.

Wentz is a classic case of a guy who never “got” it. He can make some good throws but his decision making never progressed past a rookies level. hes started enough games to know better and somehow still doesn’t. Bizarre

I’m not sure that paying a one year wonder QB $50M that had basically sucked at every other stop their entire NFL career and also looked like that same sucky QB in the last 2 games of the season, effectively ending your season was “objectively the right thing to do.”

That fumble looked like a glitch in the matrix

Russ had some great individual seasons after the defense fell apart. Sherman has hated him since the interception on the goal line. That’s nothing new. I think Russ is kinda interesting though, because it does feel like his case gets weaker as the years go on. Its sorta like if Jalen Hurts had some great individual seasons but didn’t win much, then got old and fell apart.

Fear? Lol I have no fear about today. Zero.

I’m not sure I totally get what you are saying here, but I don’t think the Ravens offense is significantly better than the Bills. But much like the Bills, their engine is their QB that makes everyone look better. Lamar scrambling around for 30 seconds to find Bateman behind a defender is not much different than Josh scrambling waiting for Coleman to come back to the ball. and that makes it difficult to judge without QB. I think if you put Jared Goff in Baltimore, he looks okay, and if you put him in Buffalo, he looks kinda bad tbh.

I feel like we should lose this game because we are almost certainly going to lose at least 2 games, and we would rather have an NFC loss

a lot of that is Lamar imo. Zay is a nice player but he’s closer to a top 30 WR than top 10 to me. I honestly kinda think Henry has lost a bit of a step even from last year. Despite having nearly 170 yards week 1, he’s only fifth in rushing, and he’s averaging a full 30 yards less per game than last year. I think if you remove QB’s, Baltimore’s supporting cast is probably in the top 10-12. You still have teams like the Vikings with JJ and Hock etc etc.

I think it’s a bit more complicated than that imo. i think Roman is the ultimate floor raising OC. Give him a good NFL level athlete with mobility and he can construct a reasonably good offense. And if that QB doesn’t have the ability as a passer to take advantage of more complex passing concepts, well, they are in luck because that’s not Roman’s strength either. He can get guys like Tyrod Taylor, who are basically career backups, to look franchise QB esque for a while. Basically, my point is that while a different OC may have had 2020 Lamar playing closer to 2025 Lamar, I don’t think there’s another OC that could have reproduced 2019 Lamar winning MVP. A different OC makes early Lamar resemble early Josh imo.

DHop and Mark Andrews are shells of their former selves. they have highly paid stars all over that defense. This is mostly wrong. IMO, Lamar has a good OL, a very good back and 1 good WR. They have a good amount of talent, but I disagree that Baltimore has some embarrassment of riches on offense in particular. Offensive talent alone, I don’t think they are close to a team like Detroit or Philly.
