Kelly to Allen

Very similar to the 83 QB class. It definitely lived up to the hype

Patriots get a 3rd

That eagles defense is completely different without him It's unreal how many top dts got hurt this year Oliver Milton Williams Madibuke Buckner Fatukusi Norman Lott Lukas Van Ness Kancey Now tim settle & Jalen Carter***

This is my guess too Tomlin probably gave a call to McDermott saying he wanted to go to KC or Phili Similar to when Carmine called Tony Soprano lmfao

Probably some type of CBA legal reason Sucks but it's whatever Fox to the 53, Ingram to the ps

My guess is he didn't want to learn a new system in Buffalo and was only open to going back to Phili It's whatever.

Nobody is going to claim him. He's probably going back to the ps today or tomorrow

Put him on the did not report list, sign Fox to the 53, Ingram to the ps. Release Slay after the bills/ eagles game

I think the eagles are the best team in the NFL Rams are very close at 2nd I still think Buffalo and KC are the most dangerous teams in the playoffs if they get in. Houston has a good team and great defense, QB is pretty good idk if he can be great. Dallas is interesting Denver is better than the pats imo Ravens are the most overrated team in the NFL for a few years now imo Cincinnati can still get in even if they lose to Buffalo but win out lol. Another dangerous team if they get in

He's still a good player but not a great player anymore. If we could get him on a discount I'd be okay with it Anderson could be a special olineman for us

Really hoping he gets a few reps vs the bungals

When I asked ai it said 95 %... So maybe I'm wrong. My mistake. I think the ai is going by favorites in isolation of a given outcome So if you isolated Cleveland & the jets as wins already. The algorithm is probably going to say it's x % likely you'll win 1 of those other 3, then calculates the other favorites and that's why AI says buffalo is 95% probability if they just beat Cincinnati ( in that moment) or you already give 10 wins with Cleveland and the jets. There's probably somebody here more competent in stats/ probability that can explain it better than me here I played with the machine for about 20 minutes. Just gave wins for the jets and browns, and there was a couple games before week 18, and one week 18 game that kept Buffalo out. Beating KC , Steelers & Ravens was critical based on how the bracket came out. The KC game was way bigger than I realized at the time given how things unfolded. Gotta wonder if the bills staff saw the bracket at the time and saw how bigger that game was. They seemed highly prepared mentally But KC doesn't care and is holding stuff back in the regular season according to Matt verderame and nick wright so I understand why they lost 😂

It was hilarious when the browns got rid of Baker for Watson because they wanted a " grown up" Unreal hubris/ bizarre evaluation

It says that me and you are cynical about McDermott beating mahomes/ burrow in the playoffs with his defensive acumen. But if he's not going anywhere, then there is a possible better path to the Superbowl if those two are not in the tournament. Doesn't mean buffalo will definitely get there. But I think it's rational to say the odds increase significantly. Vegas agrees even seeing that buffalo is going on the road as a wildcard Of course Allen is the ultimate wildcard in that it might not matter if mahomes is in the tournament. If Allen goes alien mode, then it probably won't really matter what McDermott can and can't do. Which is why I'm never going to be cynical/ negative about a playoff ticket with Allen

This is a solid point. I also think Allen is still adjusting to the timing and pre snap reads in a west coast system

I mean does Lamar Jackson count? This is like saying well the Steelers Superbowl appearances have an asterisk because they didn't beat Brady when they had big Ben.... Luck of the draw absolutely matters. Injury context matters. I'm the biggest McDermott defensive playoff cynic there is. But the numbers say not playing mahomes, they're above average. If mahomes and burrow aren't in, well there is the winning ticket. The eagles in 2022 beat Daniel Jones and then Christian McCaffrey playing quarterback to get to the super bowl.... Nobody cares

If beat the pats, they play Baltimore the next week. Then tyrod , then tua who has been really good vs the Patriots The pats aren't beating buffalo and the ravens. If they do beat us I'll be a little surprised but don't give it any weight unless they do something in the playoffs ahead of us or against us. You think the pats are good. I think they're basically the same version of the chargers with Herbert with the easiest schedule in NFL history

Nobody knows this yet. We went through the same song and dance in 21 and 23 Even if the pats win the division, I'm not trusting it's something substantive until the playoffs

Developing the timing and correct reads in a west coast concept is tough. It takes even all time great QBs a few years to master

I think shakir can be that guy

I hear this all the time and I never thought it's changed as much as we think. The routes are shorter and the QB is more protected. The back 7 is smaller. But fundamentally nothing has really changed much

You don't think KC out of the tournament matters? And if mahomes & burrow are not in the playoffs?

After the AFC championship last year, I'm happy about this move

I mean if KC isn't in the tournament I think it 100% matters. Sean mcvay is the only equivalent to Reid imo

If KC isn't in the playoffs does this change the equation? I read the bills defense in PPG allowed and yds allowed is above average since the merger if you don't count KC in the McDermott/ Allen era
