H2o

Thoughts on this week's games so far in no particular order: A lot of wild finishes. ST's showing up as an achilles heel for a bunch of teams. Keep sleeping on Tampa and Baker Mayfield. Three weeks, three game winning drives late. Yes, Mike Evans hurt his hamstring, but the team is fairly balanced. They are going to breeze through the NFC South. Last year may not have been a fluke. Darnold looks like he has turned into a decent starter. Injuries and all, San Fran keeps on winning. Dallas is a bad football team, and now they likely won't have Lamb for 2-4 weeks with a high ankle sprain. The Bolts may actually be for real. Solid defense and complimentary football. Looks like a Jim Harbaugh coached team to me. The Bengals will quickly swirl the bowl without Joe Burrow again this year. The bad thing, in a way, is Browning is good enough to get them 6 more victories and they will have a middle of the road draft pick. That Cleveland defense is tough, and I mean TOUGH. They will keep their team in most of their games barring injuries to key players. Will the real Daniel Jones please stand up. The Colts are 3-0 and Jonathan Taylor is currently leading the league in rushing. What in the world has happened to the Texans? CJ Stroud has 0 answers right now. The NFC North is going to be a fun division. Minny, GB, and Detroit are all going to neck and neck most of the season. It will come down to division tie-breakers, watch. How bad is Michael Penix? Was this just an off game, or is he that incompetent? A 58% completion percentage ain't getting it done. It would be tough to be a Falcons fan right now. The Giants with Russell Wilson at the helm may very well be the worst team in the NFL. If not the worst, they are second only to New Orleans. The bad part is they have some nice pieces on defense, but nothing is translating on the field. Daboll is likely out after this year, and maybe Schoen too. How long of a leash will Tennessee give Callahan? 3-14 last season and 0-3 already this year. At some point they will pull the plug. Don't be surprised if they try to come after Brady to work with their young QB. Last year it looked like Denver was next up in the AFC West. This year they look average at best and that defense is not carrying them at the moment like it did last season. Jacksonville has beaten two bad teams and Trevor Lawrence is the most overpaid QB in the game. $200M gtd for a 55% completion percentage through three weeks against Carolina, Cincy, and Houston. Philly is still the top dog in the NFC, but the Rams play them tough EVERY time. They will likely see each other again in the Playoffs. The AFC East is bad outside of the Bills. Mariota looks like he can keep Washington afloat until Daniels is healthy, for now. How old is Bobby Wagner again? It doesn't look like it matters.

In Tre's defense, there are only a handful of CB's who can keep up with Waddle and Hill in man cover situations. Benford got beat a few times himself.

We have beaten the vaunted Ravens with Lamar, Henry, Flowers, Bateman, Hopkins, and Andrews. A Ravens team.that TYPICALLY handles us in an easy manner during the regular season. Josh puts on the cape, the defense makes timely plays, and we get the W. It was SPECIAL, first week of fhe season or not. Beat the Jets, who have the TSW idol Breece Hall, who also hung 30 on the Steelers defense, while only allowing 10 points. Then we beat the Dolphins last night, who usually give the defense fits because of their speed at the skill positions, allowing 21 points. If you watched that game, and you ever felt that outcome was in doubt, to each their own I guess. This team may not be the early 2000's Ravens or Bucs, it may not be the Denver defense that Peyton had behind him, but as long as we're winning the TO battle and they are making timely plays, I love our chances with JA17.

Again, who do you trust more? Bass' FG% in the Playoffs dips to 70%. And we all remember him missing that crunch-time kick against KC a couple years ago. Prater is 92.3% in the Playoffs. He has missed one FG attempt out of 13 and is 19 of 20 on EP's. I say we ride with Prater unless he looks like he loses the job.

The question is who do you trust? I trust Prater more than Bass. I'd stick with him unless he becomes erratic.

He made Daniel Jones rich for life and got a loser team to the Playoffs. Then the mismanagement of the roster caught up with them.

We have a WR separation problem, again. If the TE's continue to emerge, it won't be that much of an issue. We still have 17, and he has been successful either way. 3 more TD's tonight and the Bills are 3-0. I will say this, don't be surprised if Gabe makes his way to the 53 when he finally gets healthy. Also, don't be surprised if Shavers' number of reps continue to increase.

Everyone talking about the defensive performance, but we typically have a bit of a struggle with this team because of their overall speed. Achane, Waddle, Hill, and Washington all are elite in that area. It makes for hard matchups. Then, we were missing some tackles out there too. In the end, Bernard makes the big play getting the INT and we get the FG to ice it.

Allen Cook Kincaid

W and now we get a mini bye. The emergence of Kincaid could be huge if this continues. Go Bills!

A Bills W and to leave just as healthy as we stepped on the field, that's all I'm hoping for.

I'm so done with this team

When the NFL bans the shove this offseason, Josh will still get his typical rushing TD's for another few years. I think it will dramatically decrease Jalen's numbers.

I thought this was the Haiku rendition of this SNL Skit

Another stat that Cam Newton will undoubtedly be salty about when Allen surpasses him. He's only 8 TD's in front of Allen as it stands.

They used to talk about "sugar high" Josh Allen and they defended that hill to their would be dying breath. Now, some of the same cats who were trashing him for years try to come off like they always knew and believed Josh Allen was great.

Dawson had a rough season his rookie year with drops, and then 2023 wasn't that great. But in 2021, 2022, and 2024 he was pretty sure handed. If you look at Kelce's advanced stats right now, he has a 20% drop rate. It's early. Knox has 15 more games to right the ship, and I expect he will.

Miami turmoil Josh Allen will devastate Wish it were colder

The problem is Caleb Williams. I think if there is anyone who can turn Caleb into a serviceable, borderline good, starter it will be Ben Johnson. I just don't know if Caleb will ever be coachable enough, have the right attitude, or put in the work it takes to succeed in the NFL. Personally, I don't think Caleb makes it through his 1st contract in Chicago.

Dorian actually looked good early on last year, then tailed off. Hoping he takes that next step putting it all together so we can not have to rely on Matt.

Sigh............
