Completely insufferable. There’s a sizable faction of fans who feel like no other player can ever be acknowledged as long as Mahomes exists. I’m biased towards Patrick as well, but I understand that other players can be great as well.

It’s because a lot of fans seem to think that nobody else is allowed to have good players. If someone admits that Williams might be talented, somehow it’s an insult to Josh, Patrick, etc.

Seems like the Linebackers get injured the most, though. That and McDermott and/or Beane tend to favor older players on defense. The non-Linebackers who have been hurt have largely been older players. Tre being an obvious exception.

I’ve said this for two years. They utilize a scheme that relies on two undersized Linebackers who have to play sideline to sideline. They get to shine by making a ton of plays, but that comes at a price. For as many plays as Milano makes, he leads the NFL in missed tackles since he’s been in the league. When you’re in that role, you make a lot of plays, you miss a lot of plays, and you take a lot of lumps.

Vegas has their win total at 9.5 with the juice favoring the over, so they’re expected to be 10-7. The odds in terms of how far they advance put the implied probability around 40% - miss the playoffs, 33% - win the division, 27% wildcard.

I like Kincaid as a player, but it seemed like most of his catches were dump offs where he leaked out to the flats. He had 29 first downs on 73 receptions, less than 40% with 2 TDs. That’s more of a “reliable option” than a “weapon” in the passing game. That doesn’t mean he can’t become a true weapon, but it’s not at all how he was used last year. He had a 51 yard catch against New England in week 17 last year. He averaged 8.6 yards per reception on his other 72 catches for the season.

There is a lot of truth to this. I think voters get bored of voting for previous winners and would like to find a reason to give it to someone else. Josh is one of the best QBs without an MVP (others include Brees, Roethlisberger, Aikman, and Staubach). If it’s close, I wouldn’t be surprised if Josh gets it.

Literally nobody has criticized Josh for running too much. The criticisms have been directed at the OCs for putting him in a position where he had to run so much.

Leave Rashee Rice out of this.

I don’t think anyone has a case for first or second other than Mahomes and Josh.

Bills, Ravens, and Bengals homers all disagree on who the best QB in the league is. They do agree on who the second best QB is, though.

Kansas City’s won a couple of Super Bowls, but it’s been with a vastly less effective offense. Losing Hill dropped a bomb on the offense, and it hasn’t come close to recovering. It changed the entire identity of the team.

No, but it counts more than a FG. This is actually an interesting stat, though. If anything, it tells me that the Bills have a lot of meat left on the bone offensively despite being one of the highest scoring offenses in the league. There’s reason to believe they can be even better.

Sounds like he’s kind of an a-hole. Plus, instead of having one guy who can go get 15+ sacks, they can spread things out and just let anyone sack the QB. The other team won’t know who to block.

New England’s D-Line quietly got better.

How about a run game whose biggest threat is the QB?

That’s like saying if someone broke a bone in their foot they wouldn’t try to walk it off. Sometimes you’re trying to figure out exactly what’s wrong and how bad it is. These guys are tough as hell.

Between the performances of Hamler and MVS and the injuries to Hollins and Claypool, the cuts are the easy part. It’s the keeps that are lacking.

What kind of doctor would speculate to the general public regarding someone’s medical condition based on nothing more than 25 seconds of cell phone video shot from 50 yards away, though?

These camera chasing Drs. are all idiots. David Chao is the worst.

That’s a myth. Sports books don’t try to get the public to split their bets equally. They hope that it happens that way, but that’s not how they set lines. If they did, the professional gamblers would crush them. Vegas thinks he’ll throw for 3700-3750 yards. If the top actuarial minds really thought the number would be 4100, you’d have whales come in and place huge bets.

If you somehow knew that the Patriots and Dolphins had zero chance of winning the division, you would bet say $100 on the Jets and $100 on the Bills. You would lose one of those bets and win the other. The winning bet would return your $100 and pay $180 in winnings. Your $200 worth of wagers would return $280.

Then the play would be to put an equal amount on the Jets and Bills and lock in a 40% return regardless of who wins.

DraftKings has Jets +180, Bills +180, Dolphins +200 to win the division.

It’s cool that you literally didn’t watch the game but you think you know more about it than someone who did. You read the thread. It was clear from the comments that he was terrible. You asked the question hoping to get a different answer, but you got the truth instead. He had two full-on shanks. That’s a bad day for a punter.
