Low Positive

They are really high on themselves up there after crushing the Panthers this weekend. If you go to Pats Planet, they made 3 different phone wallpapers of Diggs after that game. They also have one with Maye's league rankings.

I mean like "school of fish" or "murder of crows." Could it be a "BALCO of Meatheads?" Or how about a "Stallone of Meatheads?"

Do you know that the Bills were one of only 6 teams to hold their opponent to under 20 points last week?

Beane sucks. Fire him. Fire everybody. Trade Josh Allen. Who cares? This is Drake Maye's division now, and we might as well rebuild for the next two decades. I read that right here, so it must be true.

Josh McDaniels is a meathead too. They got a whole collection. What is the collective noun for meatheads?

I don't know how the cap works in relation to IR in the NFL, but contending NHL teams stash guys on LTIR all season, use the cap space for additional players, and then that injured player is magically healthy for the playoffs when the cap no longer applies.

The only team that crushed the Saints this year was the Seahawks, and it wasn't their offense or defense that did it. They broke their backs early with two long kick returns. The only team that the Pats have crushed this year was the Panthers and it wasn't their offense or defense that broke the game open. It was two long punt returns in the first half.

Fan psychology is interesting. The fans of a 2-2 Pats team are WAY more confident than fans of a 4-0 Bills team. The period from 2000-2018 has left an indelible mark. Bills fans have been waiting for the other shoe to drop for the past 5 years and Pats fans expect to dominate the league again any day now. Anytime they get a wiff of success, they start strutting. But remember, these are the same MFers who were fitting Mac Jones (MJ10, the Baby GOAT) for a gold jacket just a few years ago.

Mack Hollins is gonna step on Benford's chest, isn't he?

I don't think most of the posters here saying that the Pats are playing well have looked at anything other than the score of last week's game. Here's how that went. Pats win the toss and defer. Carolina drives for a TD on their first possession but misses the XP. 6-0. Pats go 3 and out on the ensuing drive. Punt. Panthers get a first, but get stopped. Punt. RETURNED BY NEW ENGLAND FOR 87 YARDS AND A TD. 7-6 Carolina punts agan, but this time our old friend Sam Martin puts it in the EZ. NE has an excellent drive for a TD. This was a good one. 14-6. Carolina drives down to the NE 25. Bryce Young trips and takes a horrible self-inflicted 11-yard sack. They miss the FG. NE uses the short field to get another TD. 21-6. On the next drive, the Panthers punt and Jones pops a 61 YARD PUNT RETURN DOWN TO THE CAR 14. NE TD. 28-6 and Game Over. On this return, three Panthers got their hands on him before Sam Martin tripped him to prevent the TD. Two guys tried to arm tackle him on the sideline instead of shoving him out of bounds. It was a comedy of errors. If Carolina hadn't missed a chip shop FG and given up 148 yards on punt returns, it would probably have been 14-9 at the half. NE still wins 10 times out of 10, but the lopsided score was a result of Carolina quitting after two special teams blunders. Whatever they do, the Bills need to keep punts away from Jones. In both of NE's wins this year, he's been the difference maker.

Given the fact that bad teams get high draft picks, all of them should improve after a year or two. But most don't.

1. Gonna be hard 2. Could probably do that 3. If oyu get 2 you're not getting 3 4. Gonna be tough because he'll demand targets in this one 5. THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS!!!!!! 6. This will happen 7. This will happen 8. Don't know about that one. He's pretty quick

Mike Brown would rather trade his whole salary for a 2030 7th than eat 1/8 of it to trade him for a 2026 2nd. Who do you like that's on a bad team that might be available?

I read that. I assume that all these trades are occurring in a vacuum, because otherwise the Saints would have trouble fielding a team. but seriously, I like the idea of flipping a pick for a half year of Hendrickson. Pass rushers, unlike DBs and WRs, are pretty much plug and play.

In the Lamar Jackson era, the Ravens have swept the Steelers only once. That was in 2019. Since 2020, the Ravens have gone 2-8 in the regular season against the Steelers. They have a hard time against Tomlin, who seems to have Lamar's number.

Not unless something drastically changes. They have looked lost in their two games without Burrow and they have Lions, Packers, and Steelers in their next three games. They'll be at 2-5 by the time they get to a winnable game against the Jets and even then, I can't see how they can move the ball on anyone with that QB behind that OL.

Why? Ravens announced today that both Marlon Humphries and Roquon Smith will miss 2-3 weeks with soft tissue injuries. There is a real chance that they'll enter thein week 7 bye at 1-5.

I don't know why, but something about being fast and able to catch a football turns guys into entitled babies. It doesn't seem to happen to guys who run fast after being handed a football.

This better?

Mike Brown to Bengals fans: "No, you can't have kirk cousins. You've got Jake Browning and Brett Rypien at home."

I never go on Twitter/X anymore. I go on there today, and I see that Antonio Brown is making Tyreek Hill baby daddy jokes. This is indeed the craziest possible timeline.

Those odds will change dramatically if they lose this week to Houston.

Brown, Oliver, and Milano are practicing but limited.

It also requires that the QB stand in there and take a huge hit. Spags is betting that most will not and will instead throw the ball away or turtle.
