Punch

All 4 remaining teams that play tomorrow won last week. 2 will lose.

That's kind of a low bar, considering one is a first year starter and the other is a second year player who was the last pick of the draft.

Did Purdy just yell "What are you doing?"??? Take it easy, Mr. Irrelevant.

They want the souvenir.

The Bills traded up in front of Green Bay to take Losman because the Packers were enamored with him. Could you imagine a world where he was groomed behind Favre and put together a Hall of Fame career?

He's almost always wrong on anything that requires independent analysis, he just goes hard on conventional wisdom. But he bails as soon as the script is flipped, like with Josh Allen.

I know. You're picking an arbitrary statistical threshold that you've decided means something it doesn't. It's leading you to waste your Saturday night.

I'm probably crazy, but I swear every 49er is juicing. Deebo, Kittle, et al make no damn sense.

That's correct, back then players just got their bell rung.

Huh? Rasul is a go, Taron probably is, too. Bernard is a definite maybe as of right now.

I didn't hear him refer to himself, he said Stroud was a great QB.

You're the one making declarations. I'm saying it's arbitrary for you to make those declarations but especially considering the evidence throughout the current NFL. I'm not trying to predict the future, its happening now.

The sample size of NFL QBs who are great runners is small enough that it reduces the already long odds of any niche group winning a Super Bowl. Mobility and escapability, on the other hand, have long been important traits for great QBs, many of whom have won Super Bowls. You're arbitrarily picking a statistic that doesn't necessarily correlate due to the historically small sample, especially in light of how the NFL is changing.

Allen is 4th in TD passes this season, and 3 away from 2nd most. Why does the fact that he also scored a bunch of rushing TDs negatively impact the odds of winning the Super Bowl?

It seems like most talking heads are picking Kansas City, and a lot of them are treating it as "heroic" or "gutsy". I've watched several of these commentators act like it's a spicy hot take to pick Patrick Mahomes. The Vegas line favors the Bills by a slim margin due to homefield, but no one is disrespecting Mahomes. Let's face it, picking KC is safe. Their AFC playoff record in recent years is phenomenal, and no one doubts that. But it's conventional wisdom rather than actual analysis of the 2023 season. It's lazy at best because they're trying to have it both ways: the Chiefs will win and it's also going to be a classic Mahomes-Allen QB duel. I think these two teams in 2023 are vastly different than in prior seasons. I think the Bills are locked in and focused better than 2021 or any of the 90s teams. I think the Chiefs are beatable on the road and the strength of their defense is overblown. I think it'll be the Bills by a billion.

The Ravens D is swarming, but I'm not impressed with Bobby Slowik at all.

This version of the Buffalo Bills is legitimately tough. I never thought I'd be impressed by a punter gutting it out.

The players overwhelmingly wanted Pierce. The inmates can't run the asylum, but they clearly responded to him. Dan Campbell's success in Detroit is a recent example of a player's coach that earned the respect of the lockerroom, I bet that was a factor. Not to mention, quality candidates are also probably not lining up for the job.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but with Dodson back in and Spector out, promoting Klein puts us at the same number of LBs as the Pittsburgh game if Bernard is active.

I'd take it obviously, but I didn't realize how ugly his Super Bowl stats were:

Not to discount Mahomes, but to your point: Eli Manning also has 2 rings. I certainly wouldn't take him over Josh Allen.

💯

You already unambiguously acknowledged that you're irrational, you don't need to keep proving it.
