Meh. Especially with their injuries, the Raiders are nothing to fear. Titans game will be much tougher.

I’m confused. That is the opposite of what’s happening now. But I agree that enforcement of offensive holding is pretty arbitrary, but that’s nothing new. You’ve always been able to call it on pretty much every play.

It's a pretty sparsely populated area, with a lot of transplanted Californians and retirees.

Yep, I knew it. Oregon's getting the Chiefs-Pats. Can't really complain; that should be a good game and with only two late games, I should be able to see almost all of the action on the RedZone.

This is really good news for Josh Norman. The thought of him trying to cover Ruggs on a deep route is absolutely terrifying.

I hope so, but I have a feeling the West Coast (outside of California and Nevada) is going to get KC-NE.

Not unprecedented and not that big of a deal. I seem to recall a Bills-Jets game getting moved to Monday night (and Detroit) because of weather a couple years ago.

This "rule emphasis change" has unintended consequences. There are two ways to stop an NFL passing attack: Don't let receivers get open and get after the passer. Teams like SF, Chicago and Washington have sunk huge resources into acquiring pass rushers; that is the identity of their defenses. If offensive lines are suddenly able hold with near impunity, it neutralizes pass rushers (although it didn't seem to help against Aaron Donald), and makes defensive back play paramount. If this change is permanent, the value of true cover cornerbacks is going to go through the roof and teams who have invested heavily in pass rushers will be left holding the bag.

Correct on Murray...He’s more Russ Wilson than Lamar Jackson.

It was true when Rex was here, too.

Gotta give the guy credit...It’s pretty amazing that he’s still in the league.

Waller was also banged up. Not sure what his injury status is for Sunday...

Holding calls were down 78% in week 1, but I have not seen the numbers since then, have you?

Fergy is also the last Bills QB to lead the league in passing yardage, in 1977. It was about half the yardage Mahomes threw for last year.

Very deceptive...most of that yardage was in garbage time.

This is going to get ugly. As we saw last year, Ravens’ offense is not designed to come from behind...

KC kicker is more than capable. He kicked it short in purpose.

Or not

I know it’s still early, but Chiefs +3??? It’s like free money...

Baldy's Breakdowns are awesome. Great insights, and what a great voice!

?

Interesting comment re Cam. I watched his presser after the game yesterday and he’s just a weird dude. I would not feel comfortable with him as my franchise QB, despite his unreal physical gifts...

Not sure which thread you're talking about. The Bills D did look pretty hopeless in the second half yesterday, but I'm confident that they are going to come around and will be a top 10 (at least) unit this year. Not many defenses are playing really well right now.

Well, Epenesa was credited with a "sack" yesterday...

Stop, dude. Those stats are a joke three games into the season. The Raiders and Dolphins both put up garbage time yards on them. The Rams defense doesn’t suck, but it’s certainly not top 5 or 6 in the league, which is what the Pats most likely are.
