We're all thoroughly convinced this stretch of competence is a mirage and the rug is going to get pulled out from under us the second we let our guard down. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubes Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) I have no worries about this team overlooking the next game, whenever or whoever it is. This is a very disciplined, humble, hungry team. I do fully expect Daboll to install the QB sweep play again, though. I bet he is still livid that we didn't hit it when he called it in OT in the playoff game. It was the perfect play call at the perfect time, foiled only by the fact that 3 big guys couldn't block 1 DB. He *has* to want to try it again against this team.

Yes. Just as worried. Because you shouldn’t have been worried about the latter and you won’t be worried about the former. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilthyBeast Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I could see this game being a little closer (i.e. not covering the 17 point spread) but it's still important for Allen and the defense to continue to 'fine tune' before we face the Chiefs who aren't going away despite their surprising slow start. Titans have also rebounded strong after their disappointing opening day loss. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a source or the actualk study imo your comments dont provide any evidence at all. As did the Texans including their best defender in Reid. I posted about this quite a bit over the years as well as to the relevant study in Football Outsiders, should be able to find it in the search I actually found the relevant link from 2017 Edited September 27, 2021 by Big Turk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncos are number 10 and the Raiders are number 18? I guess when you beat the likes of the Jaguars, Giants & Jets, then you are definitely a top 10 team. No respect for the Chargers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Mcdermott is too good of a coach for the team not to show up. The defense feasts. The Bills start gelling more on offense. I expect another beat down. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
