Aiyuk's clearly top 10, arguably top 5. He's gotten better every year and had a huge year in 2023.

I liked it better when it was called the Taxi Squad.

The Bills let Morse walk. They could easily have kept him but they chose to go with Edwards and McGovern. It was very intentional and there is no reason to believe it was the wrong decision.

There is zero evidence that Morse at C and McGovern at G are better than what we have this year. No reason at all to believe that is the case. And as I said, Floyd was a complete non-factor during the second half of the season, not unlike Diggs.

I have no idea how you can say "clearly worse" at OL. It is a definite strength of the team and the depth might be the best in the league. And how is the DL worse? Losing Tim Settle and Jordan Phillips? Carter seems to be a huge upgrade and edge seems about the same; lost Floyd (completely absent the second half of the season) but gain Von Miller a year further removed from surgery, as well as Smoot.

Good signing. He’ll be the backup for the first two games.

Quincy Williams would have been nice.

No chance anyone tries to sign Gore Jr off the PS.

Maybe go for 2 all game long. I’d love it.

The MVP awards are a joke. Jackson is constantly hyped by the talking heads on ESPN and yet the Ravens thought long and hard about whether to sigh him to a new deal...he was rumored to be available for trade, something that NEVER would have happened to Burrow or Allen. Jackson is probably the most overrated player in the NFL.

I’m not sure how Lamar Jackson is in the same tier as Burrow and Allen. He’s clearly not at their level, especially if the post-season matters.

The West Coast thing is definitely real. A 3-hour time change is no joke and it seems to be worse than going East to West.

Wonder if there is any chance they keep him over Stidham…if not, he pretty much has to go on the practice squad, right? Does the new rule protect the third QB from being signed by other teams?

IIRC, road teams win close to 50% of the time nowadays. It’s why the old “home field is worth 3 points” adage is no longer true, especially in Vegas.

They are also a well-coached team. Not going to be an easy game.

Bailey Zappe, anyone? He played well at times last year in a horrific Pats offense.

Bass needs all the work he can get and he'll definitely be suiting up in two weeks.

Doesn’t change the fact that the Eagles won it all after firing Reid. Reid might never have won one in Philly and he certainly would not have won one in KC without Mahomes.

Great point re Brady’s size. People forget how big he was. Had a lot to do with his longevity.

I’ve listened to a bunch of season preview podcasts and not one of them gives the Bills more than a passing mention, as in “The Bills will be worse”, a premise that doesn’t even require any further explanation. I love it.

And then they won the Lombardi.

Just a guess, but it might have something to do with the fact that had the Bills kept their first and fourth round picks, they probably would have ended up with the best receiver in football, now entering the prime of his career.

And yet, still no offensive starter has missed a game. Samuel might miss one or two. Still a very healthy offense.

Carson Wentz Disease...

Here’s the cool thing about college…it also prepares you to do things other than play football.
