Last year was the year of the wrist. This is the year of the groin!

Call Justin Tucker, maybe he can help since he gets those massages.

I blame Caitlin Clark

Breece Hall goes over the century mark and Justin Fields rips off some chunk runs.

Sean McDermott's defense forces some passing errors from Fields, who finishes with two interceptions.

Josh Allen feasts against the Jets pass defense.

Bills win 27-16

35.3% blitz.  you aint kidding (5th overall).  Also strangely all AFC East teams were in the top 5 for Blitz %.  

 

yup. we will see how they choose to attack Allen though this week, blitz him at your own peril.

Yea I think the Bills will have a couple of picks Sunday. I can see it as one of those games where they give up more yards than any of us want but manage to force some turnover and keep the Jets to 20 or under and win by two scores. 

[Big Turk]

They just seem like they are "there".  I don't remember a time when we both have been good at the same time. Either we have sucked and they had a period of time when they were good under Pennington/Sanchez where they made the playoffs and even an AFC Championship game(I think under Rex), or they have mostly sucked and we have been good like in the Kelly days under Rich Kotite and now under whoever they decide to being in there.

Only 16 snaps - 19% but still impressive 

Also interesting Knox outsnapped Kincaid by 5 snaps

This trio could be special 

 

 

If we can have success running the ball with all three on the field, Brady will have some interesting matchup options, especially if we catch the D in heavier packages and start running some up-tempo offense to prevent them from a more favorable sub package. Think The Pats*** when they had Gronk and Hernandez out there at the same time. Teams had no answer when TB12 went up-tempo and prevented teams from getting the right sub packages in.

This has me thinking. Well, many things do from the game this week.

 

We just beat the best or second best team in the league; debatable sure. Both the top two best other teams are on our schedule. So are 5 of the top 7  KC, Cincinnati are there, and I go on a limb but TB is up there. 

 

Pittsburgh is a top 10 team, too.

 

Ok, with that said, what do we have to do in order to verify our win against the Ravens and show we are the best team?

 

I don't think we need a blowout or rout. I will take a 10 to victory with a total points under 50

Hot take. But I think it’s reasonable.

 

isn’t it interesting that he has more impact and rated so high (obviously bc of his unicorn blocking talent- but Josh Allen is his qb) than all of the first 4 picks that were all on D combined? 
 

Gets back to the whole drafting offense with premium positions because the Josh Allen multiplier effect versus the defense, which, for whatever reason is a pure gamble and weve been getting meh results

I don't think the Steelers are a top 10 team personally. They are not an easy out for anyone, sure. But I don't think they are a top 10 team. 

 

Top ten:

Tier 1

1. Eagles;

2. Bills (with the tiebreaker)

3. Ravens

4. Chiefs (here until they are not)

- - - -

Tier 2 (these are the teams I think are a longer shot for a Lombardi but I could imagine beating one of the Tier 1 teams in a playoff game)

5. Chargers

6. Packers

7. Commanders

8. Bengals

- - - -

Tier 3

9. Buccaneers

10. Lions (I think they have too much talent to flatline all season though they have clearly taken a step back)

11. Vikings (if McCarthy is it this is arguably too low)

12. Broncos

In fairness two of those four didn't play.... though Jackson was a healthy scratch so you can certainly consider that a fail. 

 

Most of Hawes impressiveness was in blocking though. Which is not Josh centric. He is just a v good blocker.

I fear that team not at all

Coming off epic prime time win... against a hated rival who was gunning for ya... against what looks to be an improving team that you routinely throttle and going to play in their barn... do that math... and it adds up to really close game...  if the defense doesnt improve... one we could easily lose, if it does improve... its a win... score 27-24

My main hope for this game is some better Run D. I get that Henry has always given us issues. But we have to be way better against other teams. This is a good test.

I don't mean to derail this thread. Bills defense still bad as ever. Then again, it was Lamar Jackson and King Henry's Baltimore Ravens. They're extremely difficult to stop for any defense. We have to give our team a pass on that.

 

As for the Jets, we'll see.

 

Why is Green Bay seemingly over hyped this year?

 

 

 

The Ravens defense gave up 41 points, blowing a 13 point lead with < 5 minutes to play.   Obviously, they didn't play all that well; they just looked better doing it for most of the game, like this was figure skating or something.   While Allen lead the 4th quarter charge, the Bills D started to come around in the fourth quarter, too.

Pretty good list.  I would move the Lions up a tier.  They just couldn't match the Packers insane energy at home and the two new coordinators struggled.  I think they'll get much better as the year progresses.  I think the Packers could be in that top tier but I need Love to have more consistency before they're in it.

Yea agree with both of those. It could be recency bias holding the Lions down. And Love at his best the Packers can win the Lombardi. Agree he isn't quite as consistent as the top guys tho.

I don't either.   They really didn't seem to do much to improve their weaknesses, simply standing pat on both sides of the ball unless their rookies play like HOFers early on.   Their OL will likely get Burrow injured sooner or later.  He took a beating from the Browns.

I don't think they can win a Superbowl, but on their day Burrow and his receivers and tight ends get hot? Yea they could knock off a top team IMO.

Sigh... what is going on with this team.
