Granted, the Jets are not nearly as formidable as the Baltimore Ravens, but the Jets offense was pretty productive against the Steelers that typically has a pretty tough defense. That's been the case in the years since Ben Roethlisberger with the offense usually being mediocre. It's been defense that kept Pittsburgh competitive.

In Buffalo's first three games of the season, Tua is the least mobile QB.

I'll bet they could make polarized visors that would reduce glare and actually improve visibility over even no goggles at all.

Three months recovery will leave Burrows the chance to start at most about four more games. Cincinnati could already be out of the playoff hunt.

I think that Buffalo has a pretty good handle on defending against Miami's occasionally explosive passing offense. I can't imagine Miami even slowing down Buffalo's offense. My guess is the Bills will beat the spread and the only thing that will hold the margin of victory down will be Buffalo playing backups in the fourth quarter. My only regret is that Buffalo has to play New Orleans after they beat Miami. It seems like a complete waste of a mini-bye when you have to play the worst team in the league after it.

That, of course assumes Buffalo will lose a game this season. Actually, one possibility that we might keep an eye on is the chance that Buffalo will have wrapped up home field advantage or even they playoff seeding before the last week or two of the season. I could easily see the Jets starters beating the Bills' backups.

I think that the decision to use more 4-3 lineup versus the Bills' typical 5-2 nickel as their base is probably due more to who they are facing. Everybody knows what Derrick Henry can do to safeties that he outweighs by 50 lbs and can often outrun anyway, but Hall is no slouch most weeks. Dorian Williams is no Matt Milano when it comes to diagnosing what the offense is doing and covering running backs and tight ends in passing routes. On the other hand he's faster and more athletic than most linebackers in the NFL and he improved greatly on the mental aspect of his game in 2024 versus the previous year. Given Miami's offense, I have every expectation the Bills will go with a nickel lineup as their base on Thursday whether Taron Johnson is available or not.

I picked the Bills in one and Atlanta in the board's official group. Still alive in both. I'm glad there was no early massacre like a year ago.

There are times when Brady is brilliant and a few times when I know what play he's going to call and I know it won't work and I'm right.

He was a Yogi Berra wannabe. Nobody could butcher the English language like Berra, but Hank Bullough certainly tried.

Harvey Johnson had been an assistant coach when Ralph Wilson fired the head coach. I don't think Johnson really aspired to be a head coach and may have known he wasn't head coach material. He was pretty pathetic.

I saw a couple from Dawson Knox today. I missed a good part of the first quarter. I think the first quarter was the worst, statistically, for Allen passing the ball. I also missed Josh's big run.

LOL That may not be the case any more.

I don't mind blowout wins a bit.

When on offense, the Jets have a running back who is faster than Derrick Henry, but not as heavy. There should be less of an issue with being bowled over, but it's' even more important to keep him from getting behind the DBs. Their QB is not as fast as Jackson, but still plenty athletic. Hopefully Tre White can come back. The Ed Oliver injury is worrisome. The injury report says it's an ankle. That likely means a sprain. Whether is its high or low, we'll have to wait and see what the Bills tell us. Hopefully, the boot is just precautionary until the Bills know the severity of the injury, and hopefully, it turns out to be very minor.
