If you're a Bills fan and wanna get pumped over the defense and Josh Allen, watch this...

I see McKenzie as almost the direct antithesis to Von in mindset and oftentimes in execution (or lack thereof). There's a reason why the team is only paying him a couple million this year. And why no other team offered him a lot more.

I never cared for Singletary last season but he had a strong game. Diggs played big when it mattered, like great player do. Davis didn't get a lot of action but made the limited touches count. And Von earned half his salary tonight. And I see — as I thought before — why the Bills brass thought McKenzie is worth the relative pittance of a couple million per year; he's simply not a money player.

It will be funny to go back to this if the Bills win. But I think there's a chance, like House said, that some poor schmuck might be in deep financial trouble and this is his way out. Sometimes people need to lose big to learn a lesson.

Given the peanuts he's getting paid in Pittsburgh, that could be very true. Wallace's two-year contract with the Steelers contains a salary cap hit of just $2.517 million in 2022. He will earn a base salary of $1.035 million, and a signing bonus of $2.965 million. His base salary increases to $4 million in 2023, which increases his cap hit to $5.482 million, although the Steelers can move on after this year and save $4 million of that cap hit if they choose.

For the Bills, I'm hoping interior D line, so maybe Oliver.

Smart business decision on Dana's part. She's 47 and he's 81. He probably has just a handful of years left and she'll have hundreds of millions of dollars if she negotiated properly. Hell, for that much money, I'd tug him once a week for five years.

I think it's easy to dismiss this as psychobabble but who here doesn't think confidence is a huge factor in pro sports? That confidence isn't born out of nothing. We've seen many superior athletes not succeed and their mindset has to be a major factor in that. Also, as far as I know, Von Miller has more Super Bowl rings than any other Bill or member of this board. And Von buys into this. From the article: "The focus on process-oriented versus outcome-oriented gratification has been a huge development in the world of sport psychology, with more athletes being taught to value their individual growth and controllable progress instead of judging themselves based on wins and losses." Von recently said in a presser or interview that he's "at peace" no matter if the team wins or loses because he knows he's done all he can to prepare. That is a 100% validation of the the quote above from the article. If anyone here has better credentials than Von, I'd love to hear a counterpoint.

Surprised no one mentioned that Mahome's face is painted on the bottom of the toiled bowl and Kelce's smiling mug is on every sheet of toiled paper.

When the referee is complimenting you, you know you're great: How do you get so low and still keep your balance. That's impressive," says the ref. Von's comment to Morris is great: "You never lose, you just learn." What a total pro.

I hear you but I wasn't fond of his lackadaisical response on his show about the end of the dolphins game. He basically absolved himself of any wrongdoing while I believe he could have and should have ran straight out of bounds. I could be wrong but that's my take.

McKenzie seems like a decent guy and he has some quickness but he seems to me to lack that intensity and football focus. I see that in Shakir. And I admit I base my interpretation of McKenzie partly on his interviews (saw a full episode of his show once) and he just doesn't seem to be totally serious about football. This could be a totally crap take but it's my gut instinct. I see Shakir studying film and asking questions from Stephon and even defensive players. I don't see McKenzie doing that. Yes, just a gut feeling but his play doesn't seem as intense either. I can't imagine McKenzie making that highlight grab in coverage Shakir made in the Steelers game. I suspect the BIlls brass doesn't see huge potential in McKenzie either giving him a deal worth up to $8 million with incentives over two years; that's peanuts for a veteran receiver.

Would love a decent guard and though it may inspire derision here, a back who's carrying 220-plus pounds with good vision and decent burst for short yardage situations (for a low-round pick). For years I"ve heard Moss is a good short-yardage back but he's only 205 pounds. He ain't no thunder to any lightning. Maybe some audible intestinal discomfort but not thunder. Are we the only team in the league with our top three backs all 205 or less? I"m not talking a track star but a guy who can move bodies. 220 pounds plus. I don't see that happening but I would like it. Add a guard who can move bodies and I'd love it.

Player safety matters but it's gone too far. Defenders need to hit a quarterback. I think in the broadcast he said at least make the roughing the passer penalty reviewable... Something needs to be done to correct it. Or we can all agree to professional flag football.

One reason NOT to go for 2: it puts the Chiefs offence in 4-down territory the entire drive; you give them an extra down they wouldn't take if it were a tie game as they'd be good with punting on 4th down. I would never give the Chiefs 4 downs to get within FG range — and an FG takes the lead back... Dumb.

The plus side: 1. Mahomes got rocked a couple times today. 2. The Chiefs would be a hell of a lot more hungry if they lost today.

I want a back like Jacobs one day...

Long past hoping for a Raiders win. Just want the pass rush to get to Mahomes and rough him up some more. Would be nice to see Kelce take some big hits too.

love that takedown

Josh will trust his receivers and throw to Gabe or Shakir in tight window. Carr has possibly the best WR in the game and he's sinking and dunking with 5-year passes to open players. If I was Adams, I'd be having signer's remorse.

Yeah, but man he's sounding old compared to just a couple years ago...

Yeah, as much as I hate the Chiefs, on replay the lineman looked like he was trying to not fall with his full body weight... If this happened to us, we'd be pi$$ed.

I don't think Carr is throwing to Adams enough. And only 26 catches throughout the first four games... For an all-world WR that seems too low.

A turnover right now would be perfect...

Wow, that's quite the pass rush the Raiders got tonight. Mahomes looked like he didn't know what hit him after. Hopefully Groot and Von can replicate something similar.
