In his 3 games (with just 18 hours and 1 walk-through practice before the first game) Mayfield has completed 69% of his passes with 4 TDs and 1 INT for a 98.9 passer rating. Statistically he's been one of the best QBs in the league since parachuting into Los Angeles.

Regular season point differential is pretty predictive of post season success: "The last five Super Bowl winners -- and seven of the last eight -- finished in the top five of regular-season point differential." https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/how-a-simple-statistic-can-help-sort-through-nfls-immense-parity-this-season-forecast-super-bowl-contenders/ "Further, 16 of the last 20 conference title participants have hailed from the prestigious top five in point differential the season they advanced to the NFL's final four. That's 80%. Staggering."

One game sample size? Mayfield has played 3 games with the Rams and is 2-1.

Baker is an interesting guy. He's bet on himself twice in his NFL career first by agreeing to changes in his contract to facilitate his trade from Cleveland to Carolina and then more recently when he asked for his release from Carolina. The latest bet is going to earn him much more money than if he languished on the Carolina bench. Credit to Baker for his self-confidence and glad to see him doing well.

I'm not surprised that Quessenberry played well at guard. He's a mauler... one of the top run blockers in the league. He's a poor pass blocker. I would have guessed that moving him to guard played to his strength and minimized his weakness. Here's hoping Boettger and/or Quessenberry can be upgrades at left guard.

Illegal use of Hand...

Josh McDaniels some of the worst play calling in memory... and Derek Carr in the 2nd Half: 2 of 7 for 11 yards.

I've heard of him!!!

Rodgers exudes a resigned defeatism. Zero leadership. All season he's complained about not being on the same page as his receivers but he couldn't be bothered to do any offseason work with them. It appears he hasn't been making time during the season to get on the same page with them either. He plays with the fire and intensity of a corpse laying in a wet ditch.

Yup I understand they were deep in their own territory but to go run-run-pass when your QB is the league's reigning MVP is very lame.

Everyone would love if the Bills had a power run component to their offense. On the other hand if forced to choose between the Bills offense as it is versus the Titans offense as it is, it would be an easy decision and I wouldn't think twice.

Except that time.

It'll be interesting to see if the Packers' offensive revival as indicated vs Dallas last week will continue. Have they turned a corner and was last week a blip? That direct snap to Henry was so obvious. Not that it makes stopping him any easier but I wasn't fooled and I'd be surprised if any defenders were.

New to the sport? You're often facetious so I'm not taking this seriously but anyone who understands football and watched Spector this preseason could only have been impressed. It's weird that you would compare two players who couldn't be more stylistically different than each other.

Yes. Howie Roseman has been with the Eagles since 2000 when he started there as an intern. People like Connor Barwin and others in their front office have learned under him. The Eagles won a Super Bowl as recently as 2017. Now 2 years after firing their Super Bowl winning coach, they're considered by many to be the best team in the league and no one doubts they are at least legit Super Bowl contenders. The Eagles have enough front office talent that would be attractive to other teams. As the OP stated, Shane Steichen is a legit HC candidate and Jonathan Gannon will also get consideration in the next hiring cycle.

Discom BOB ulated. One of the most excellent words ever. As for your second sentence, I think it's a psychological ramp up to returning to active duty. It'll make much of what happens next week seem like less of an adjustment. He was on KB radio and said that recovery from such an injury has a "mental component" to it. So yes, you're correct. And all athletes have the exact same injury and physiology, biomechanics, and tissue profile? Truly amazing that you guys are second guessing a professional medical and training staff that has an excellent track record. The Bills have been one of the least-injured teams in the league since the beginning of the McBeane era. But you guys know better than them?

Toney was never one of their better receivers. He was one of their most talented receivers. Good comparison. Hodgins is actually not that different from their present highest-paid receiver, Kenny Golladay. Both have plus size and good hands but lack a bit in the ability to separate. The next step for Daniel Jones is that he needs to be able to spot the 1 on 1 matchups and throw 50/50 balls to his big-bodied receivers. The elite QBs are not afraid to throw to receivers that are "covered."

Yes, yes I can. I can also tell which cheerleaders he's attracted to by his body language in the huddle.

Cook would be much more effective if he didn't so obviously hate playing for this team in this city. Can you imagine how explosive he'd be if he had a good attitude?

Carolina should have beaten Atlanta. DJ Moore caught a 62 yard TD pass at the end to tie it. Unfortunately while celebrating he was assessed a 15 unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and the extra point became the equivalent of a 48 yard field goal, which the kicker missed, forcing overtime. In overtime the same kicker missed a 32 yard field goal. Atlanta got very lucky to evade the upset.

Duke. Johnson. 😆

I've heard of him!

I might be the only one who picked this... Rams over the Niners.

4) The Bills are coming off a bye week. McDermott is 5-0 coming off byes and the Bills will be hungry for the taste of blood after one week off. 5) The game is nationally televised. I just can't imagine these players not wanting to show out to a national audience in the midst of all the hype that they're the best team in the league. Excellent! Prepare the celebration... invite the prettiest girls from the village...
