Who did SF lose on Defense, if anyone? I can't figure that out?

Does not a Dolphins loss directly benefit the Bills, by putting them in the lead of the division?

Not as I can find. Not that are showing up on injury report. Their wins were against the Steelers, Rams, Giants, Cardinals, and Cowboys. Now they did thump the Cowboys pretty convincingly, but part of that was playing keep-away with the football - 37 minute TOP on offense to 22 min. I don't think Brock Purdy had a full load of marbles upstairs, and I think Deebo Samuel may be critical to play ball-control offense. The Vikes scored 22 points including 3 consecutive FG, not sure that counts as shredding? Anyway, bottom line I don't know, but it seems to happen every year that a team or two who starts out hot and looking invincible, gets brought down to earth.

“With Great Power, comes Great Responsibility” Be careful what you predict about our Bills, oh web-slinger. While I’ve got your attention, does your source have any insight on Josh’s shoulder?

Aged well

OK we have common ground. Collinsworth does know ball and he can break a play down well, when he tries. One of the things I like about Amazon’s coverage is that they diagram plays pretty frequently during the game which I personally like. It’s just that Collinsworth good breakdowns and good background to blather ratio is too skewed on the side of blather

First part of that not looking too likely

He’s just trying soooooOoooooo hard to prop up this Chicago kid. I dunno, I could be wrong, but I think he has a pre-written script that he tries to stick to or work in any time he can. LOL Herbert dirts the ball in front of Edmunds and he doesn’t even pretend to be trying for it.

How did that receiver fail to collect that TD pass?

If I recall, he had a very good game against the Colts in the 2020 playoffs. 9 tackles and 2 pass breakups or something like that. Eberflus was coaching the Colts, maybe that impressed him?

Follow up: It’s been more than half an hour, we’re into the 2nd Q, and Collinsworth is still working mighty hard at fluffing Bagent up

I”m gonna go with “won’t last that long”. But I’d be happy to be wrong, too.

I thought that too.

So……..who do we want?

You mean inmate number 1273265? He pled and was sentenced. No bail.

Can’t we just send it to a landfill? I don’t want to endure the PR around the rocket launch

Got to agree there.

Am I the only one who wonders how much of Wilson’s “moon ball” success was actually due to Metcalf?

I used to feel like Russ Wilson had amazing pocket sense. What happened to him?

So far, the Broncos aren’t playing as though they “got the memo” on how much they suck

I didn’t see what was happening to Russ when he threw that?

Obviously go to PM’s if you feel it’s more appropriate, but I wish you’d consider to stay here as I think others of us would like to learn it. I think there are some others who feel the same (and some who’ll be bored, but they can just scroll on by)

This. You, Sir, can be replaced by a steak-wrapped ukulele. Which I will play to the delight of our neighbor’s 145 lb Anatolian Shepherd. She has excellent musical taste.

I think to be competitive against the top teams, we need an infusion of talent at the trade deadline. So we’ll learn a lot about how the coaches and Beane see it, depending upon whether they make any moves, and which moves they make. Seriously? C’Mon Man, there are a good handful of “if only this one play were different” on both sides of the ball. Always are. Your contention was “Baker is going to have a day”. Good analysis here

And you’re not wrong to be nervous. Winning is far from certain. But this thread seems be certain we’re not winning.
