Low Positive

The Eagles have been false-starting on this play since they started doing it. Jason Kelce used to rock backwards, and then rock forward and downwards as he was snapping the ball. He was into the defensive line and on his stomach by the time Hurts got the ball. I have said that there is no need to ban the play. Just start calling the false starts. That will neuter it.

Their back 7 is even weaker and more depleted than ours, so the worst-case scenario should be a shootout. And I trust Josh to win that game. But yes, the Bills could lose. It's an NFL game and "any given Sunday" (or Thursday in this case), but this is a game that the Bills should win fairly easily. They played the Pats tough and looked better last week, but I think that we now know that the Pats are, at least in the early part of this season, not nearly as improved as we thought they would be. We know that because the Raiders beat them, and then looked completely lost against the Chargers at home. Just like with the Jets. Everyone said, "Ooh, look at how the Jets offense looked against the vaunted Steeler defense." Then we all learned in week two that the Steelers' defense kinda sucks.

new name for screencast-o-matic, if that helps.

I said this upthread, but I'll say it again. His wins in that stretch were: At Jacksonville in an OT game when the Jags lost Lawrance. Home against the Minshew-led Colts wth no JT. Home against the Vikings in an OT game. The Vikings were QBed by Nick Mullens, who was their third QB behind Cozens and Josh Dobbs. Home against the Browns in a meaningless week 17 game where the playoff-bound Browns sat everyone. He played 7 games in 2023, and threw 7 INTs. Last week, he threw 3 INTs in a little more than half a game. To be honest, I think the picks are the reason no one traded for him. Another thing. No one is talking about Browning's comeback, which was aided by a soft AF DPI on rookie Travis Hunter BTW, if Bills fans wet dream WR Brian Thomas Jr. could catch the damn ball EDIT: Here's Dave Portnoy ranting about the DPI call with video of the play. This was 4th and long on the Bengals last drive:

This, more than anything, tells you what Lions players think of Ben Johnson

That run against SF in the snow last year is up there.

Well, we have only played two games and one of them certainly fits that description.

He’s just predicting the mid-season lull that most teams have.

I don't think overconfidence among fans or the points spread has any effect on the team's attitude. The Bills know they almost lost to them at home last year and will take them seriously. People are just having a little fun, and I'm happy to see Bills fans confident in their team.

I don't care who wins. I just need Herbert and McConkey to get a combined 13 more fantasy points before this game is over.

He sounded sick during the Tennessee-Georgia game.

Chargers don't get home games.

You were probably counting that money in the first quarter.

And because he was a flashy rookie, they will have to pay him $65 million per year.

I said he was wise, but in a Yogi Berra "wherever you go, there you are" sort of way.

As that wise philosopher of football once said, "to win games, you have to not lose games."

So far it looks like the Colts are the surprise team and the best team in the AFC South, but I'm old enough to remember when the Saints were the talk of the league for the first two weeks last year.

And he played through a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder and was rewarded for that by being traded away.

Most teams are losing players too. The Bucs, for instance, are down both starting OTs as I type this and just lost an edge rusher. The Seahawks played this week without both S Nick Emmanwori and CB Devin Witherspoon. Their fans have pages of discsusion about these injuries, but I bet most here didn't know anything about them. We just don't notice other teams' injuries unless they are QBs or high-profile stars so it feels like we are the only team with guys out.

Bucky Irving is a strong runner.

They are really calling OPI (and offensive Offside) a lot more this year.

Now that was one heck of a catch. I feel like I'm on an island with this, but I'm starting to dislike CJ Stroud.

If this had to happen, now is not a terrible time. We should be able to beat the Fins and Saints without him, so that gives him three weeks.

FYI. This is the "Angry Jets Fans" video. The one that you wanna watch.

Just don't fall for the pre-snap eye candy and it's a pretty simple one-read offense.
