  1. Our offense has been far better than KC's for much of the last 1.5 years week in and week out.
  2. There are no such thing as trap games. They don't exist.
  3. No...they beat us here in week 1 during the drought when Leftwich threw a TD in the back of the EZ to Ernest Wilford as time expired. That was in 2004, so 20 years, but then we also lost 36-26 in 2010 which was in OP as well, which means it's been 14 years. A far cry from 30.
  4. Eddie George, for my money, is the most overrated "great" player of all time. The man averaged 3.6 YPC for his CAREER and only averaged over 4 YPC twice for a season, both barely at 4.1...people confuse his college career with his pro career. Essentially he was a dude who put up lots of yards but only because he got a ton of carries. The only year he had under 300 carries was his final year in the league with Dallas. Holmes averaged 4.6 YPC for his career, and averaged over 5 YPC in a season twice. He also led the league in rushing one year and yards rushing/game another year, something George never did. Holmes also was a fantastic receiving back as well, having over 2,000 yards from scrimmage 3 straight years, including 2 where he led the NFL. Thurman Thomas led the NFL in yards from scrimmage 4 straight years, but he only had 2 that were over 2,000 yards. George was a first round pick, Holmes was a UDFA. Honestly they deserved to be swapped and that would have been more like the way they performed in the NFL. Holmes earned his carries and touches in the NFL, George, in large part, did not.
  5. I can't argue that...there are several people who got in that made me do a double take, especially since I watched some of them play and they weren't all that...and yet Sterling Sharpe still isn't in...that is a travesty.
  6. Thomas is a 5x All-Pro, 7x Pro-Bowler(back when it still meant something), is in the HOF and also on the HOF All-2000s Team. So to answer your question, no, they weren't.
  7. Zach Thomas...5th round pick, made the HOF. Priest Holmes...UDFA, was headed to the HOF until injuries derailed his career...3x All-Pro, led the NFL in rushing in 2001.
  8. End of the day...he isn't Josh Allen...not even close to Josh Allen on his best day...that's where they failed. They could have taken Allen at 1 and passed.
  9. I wasn't specifically referring to your post, just in a general sense, many people don't look at context when they talk about stats or even why things happen during games. It will likely depend on if the D re-adjusts...so many have gone smaller and faster on defense that you can just bring in an extra O-lineman and maul them on run plays and many times get big chunk plays(see Cook's 49 yard house call)
  10. Context matters. I know to most people that's a lot to ask, but it still matters.
  11. They can choose to die slowly or quickly, it's their choice.
  12. Run the ball...they should go watch the Bills game from last year.
  13. "You know who the beasts of the AFC East... We gonna grind this thing out for 17 weeks... You Hatin' on the Bills then you way off... Talk is cheap, meet us in the playoffs... Gameday, you know we goin' off... Got your team captain shakin' at the coin toss..."
  14. Unlikely. They are still a good team and will get it figured out over the course of the season.
  15. Lewis has made multiple big time run stops in key situations...it really has been impressive to see.
  16. If this was college they would be like 15th right now. He is simply limited. Those limitations don't suddenly go away.
  17. Yeah I know...they are focused only on the narrative they want to focus on. It's true, btw, it's just not relevant to the regular season.
  18. Saints have looked really good but IMO that is a mirage with Carr at QB...he will get figured out by week 7 or 8 and the offense will struggle a lot more.
  19. He is and we will see him Monday night...he plays for the Jags.
  20. It's not the playoffs right now and in the regular season we have owned them.
  21. Guarantee they catch everything in sight against us tho...just how it rolls. No idea why the Jags have been such thorns in our side for 30 years now but they have been. Well...I guess not as much as I thought. We have a 9-8 record all time versus them and have never lost more than 2 times in a row to them. Allen, don't start now!
  22. Achilles injuries are really tough for a player whose main job is to backpedal and then plant and drive.
  23. The Bills have beat the Chiefs 3 straight in Arrowhead during the regular season. We are playing at home this time. The narrative should be the Chiefs may have a chance to beat us, not the other way around.
  24. That was disgraceful yesterday by the Eagles...that reminded me of so many games during the Bills drought era where they figured out a way to ***** defeat from the jaws of victory 😂
  25. Losses are losses. Should teams that miss the playoff be given playoff berths because they "are much better than their record shows"?
