  1. If anyone wants to know just how much weaker Frazier was at getting home on QB's...Since trading for Jerry Hughes, he played 5 years without Frazier (his first 4 in Buffalo then last year in Houston) and 5 years with Frazier. Hughes averaged 4.5 sacks with Frazier and 9 sacks without Frazier including 9 last year when he was supposed to be washed up. Frazier IMHO is the biggest reason we have not reached a SB and I couldn't be happier he is gone
  2. Yeah all good my man...I am definitely a football and fantasy junkie, so that certainly helps haha.
  3. Those are not fans, they are not going to stick to watching the NFL the second Swift isn't dating Kelce anymore. Literally the only gain for the NFL is utterly minuscule in value with a temporary bump in a single players jersey sales that won't even make an impact on their books by years end as it is such an insignificant amount of money. And the moment there is a breakup, they will be hating on Kelce and the NFL, burning jerseys, etc. The "boost in ratings" are for a single game, and all that results on is a slight bump in advertising premiums for that one game a week, which again over the course of a season is a minuscule difference for the NFL, its books, and company value. So it is one thing to have some fun with it and capitalize to some degree, but its a whole other level to utterly annoy and piss off your entire fanbase that made your corporation a $100B company for a small boost that won't even register in NFL value over the long term because none of those fans care 1% about the NFL, they just showing loyalty to Swift until she writes her next album about the Kelce breakup. In my book, pissing off the fanbase that actually makes your company as valuable as its to cater to some people who bring no value to your company and are 100% temporary is not a great business strategy. NFL took a ton of heat for last nights over the top approach to Swift...I would be surprised if they don't tame it down some moving forward.
  4. The game doesn't have to be close for me to enjoy the game. I enjoyed watching the Pats get embarrassed for example. But there are also players I like watching play, blowout or not. Fantasy football also makes all games interesting for me, so maybe that is the difference. I do several leagues, plus I do a couple weekly FanDuel games with some friends and stuff. I watched all 3 games Sunday afternoon and the Primetime game, and so did my wife. We enjoyed ourselves, but we are also a football family as she loves football as much as I do
  5. But for me, the surprises and the let downs are what make the NFL so great and special. So much can change one year to the next. I don't want to see everything we expect happen just happen. The unpredictability of the NFL is what makes it so great. Its what makes me love the UFC too where the unpredictable happens a lot. I love that any team can lose on any given week or that anytime team can regress or elevate season to season. Since Rodgers went down on the 2nd play, Jets intercepted Allen and Mahomes 5 times in 2 games and honestly should be 2-0 in those games with Zack Wilson but they gave away last nights game with a couple dumb and silly mistakes. And when they are making the schedule in the offseason, there is no way to truly know what will be a good or bad game because of that volatility, especially with injuries. I mean who would have thought the biggest story of the Chiefs vs Jets on Sunday night football would be stupid Taylor Swift and who is in her stupid booth with her instead of Mahomes vs Rodgers? So I can't fault the NFL when sometimes some bad games happen, there is almost no way to truly predict that, especially with the injuries that are rampant through the NFL. So I think you are being a bit over critical for something they can't truly control. And they have to find ways to get even some of the lesser teams some primetime games too, can't just be the same teams getting all the games even though the better teams will get more. And sometimes those lesser teams end up playing better than expected like the Rams, Cards, Colts, etc and the "better" teams don't like Bengals, Jags, etc.
  6. Barring major injuries, there isn't a game left on our schedule where we won't be the favorites, including the Eagles. Don't get me wrong, Eagles are a good team, but I think we are playing better and are the better overall team. The only team in the NFL where I feel like I don't know how we would fare and would have some concerns about the matchup would be against my wifes beloved 49ers, and something tells me our two teams are on a course to meet head to head in the Super Bowl. McCaffrey I think is legitimately in the MVP conversation with Allen and Purdy is playing at a top 5 QB level right now. Detractors can say its only because of the system he is in and that he is a system QB all they want...the bottom line is that doesn't matter when you line up against the Niners because he is playing in that system when he does and he is executing their game plan as good as any QB in the NFL is with their respective teams. I think the two best teams in the NFL are clear: Niners and Buffalo right now (Chris Berman will be proud). Things can change as the season goes on obviously, but today they are the two best teams, and since they don't play each other in the regular season, any other team Buffalo will face this regular season I expect we will be the Vegas betting favorites...including KC, Eagles, Dallas, Cincy, and Miami.
  7. Josh Allen literally had a perfect passer rating, more TD's than incompletions. Not everyone can get all their touches every week and both Murray and Harris are also contributing and deserving of play time. There were no problems yesterday and Cook did great in pass pro too
  8. No disrespect, but I don’t know anyone who thought Payton was gonna be a magic fix for the terrible Broncos team or that the Chargers were going to be much different as long as Staley was there and that bad defense. AFCE does have Bills and Dolphins and Jets lost Rodgers or they would have been there too. NFC is about what everyone expected for most part. I think you’re being a bit overly negative. Last nights game was a good one. Niners game was a good one as Cards hung in there and made it competitive. Cowboys game was enjoyable just watching the Pats get embarrassed is always great. The only thing I’ve hated this season is the Swift BS, like who cares that a pop singer is dating an NFL player. No NFL fans do, yet they beating that horse like no other. It’s fine to make a few comments or what not, but they cover her like she owns the Chiefs and has a brand partnership with the NFL.
  9. But you see, that’s the issue, he was never 2nd best. All that was a media myth because his team reached a Super Bowl on the back of a dominant showing by his defense shutting down Mahomes and Chiefs for 3 points the entire second half of the AFCCG. Allens playoff stats literally dwarf Burrows pedestrian playoff stats. There is no metric where Burrow was ever the better QB, let alone 2nd best. He got gifted the title for 2 reasons…more draft hype and a SB appearance. Allen has played 8 playoff games, Burrow 7. Yet Allen despite having worse weapons has 20 TDs to Burrows 10. Burrow has a worse turnover ratio, worse QB rating, produces over 80 yards less per game, and has half the TD to turnover ratio as Allen. The only thing Burrow is better at is comp % which equates to just one more completion per game, literally. Over the last 2 regular seasons, Allen has only 3 more INTs than Burrow and that’s with Burrow having way better weapons with one of the best cast of weapons in the NFL both seasons. Not to mention that Josh Allen played with a hurt throwing elbow for half of one of those seasons and plays in worse weather. Burrow hasn’t accomplished nearly as much as Allen in terms of individual performance. But because his teams defense shut down Mahomes a week after our defense let Allen down with 13 seconds, he got elevated to 2nd best.
  10. Exactly, and that was worse than what Burrow is dealing with
  11. Honestly dont know, it’s the only clip I’ve been seeing on Twitter, haven’t seen a longer one
  12. I’ve been critical of him this season, but this was easily his best game as an OC and he has Allen playing his best ball because of it. Hats off to him, he deserves a game ball
  13. Uh oh…trouble in paradise? Lol. I caught heat here for saying Burrow was overrated and that Bengals won’t win their division this past offseason. Let see if the media treats Chase the same way they treated Diggs this off-season who actually seems pissed from actual games being played. Let’s see if the media covers Burrows struggles over the whole season so far as harshly as they did Allen over just 1 game.
  14. They ain’t retaining those fans. They don’t care about football, they will tune out the moment she starts writing her new album about her Kelce breakup.
  15. It’s gone beyond acceptable though. It’s fine to talk a little about it, but no one who watches football gives a rats a** about her being at the game to where need this crammed down our throats so much. So you end up pissing of the fan base that made you a $100B company.
  16. Soooooooo sick of this Taylor Swift crap. This is football, who the F cares about her dating a player. Did she buy a team? Like give it a rest already
  17. I’ve been saying this for 2 years. The moment Frazier “stepped away” and McD took over I said the biggest improvement to this team was Frazier being gone. It is so much better watching this McD led defense than Fraziers crap fest
  18. Moss has helped me survive some injuries in fantasy, so let me say thanks Moss. But, Bills are currently 5th in the NFL in rushing...so who cares. We are better off right now than we were with Singletary and Moss back there. But wish him well, especially since hes on my fantasy team. But he is about to become super irrelevant again if Colts and Taylor ever find any common ground for the remainder of the season. So my fantasy team hopes they trade Taylor
  19. There seems to be a growing sentiment that Adams may want out and that Raiders could explore a trade. Im not normally one to say go get someone like him between trade costs and cap space…but, he’s still dominant and a duo of him and Diggs with Allen at QB would be unreal. Now let me be clear, I’m fully aware the odds of this are slim to none, especially from a cap perspective, and I think the Bills are fine right now in terms of overall weapons anyway. But Bills were a team mentioned as one of 7 in a report talking about who should pursue him if traded and that just got me day dreaming of Diggs and Adams lined up on the field together with Allen 🤤 But hey, even though I know it won’t likely happen…let’s pretend Beane made the cap stuff work and wanted to pull the trigger…I would offer them Davis and our 2024 2nd without a second thought. A guy can dream can’t he lol https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10091109-7-nfl-teams-that-should-pursue-trade-for-raiders-davante-adams
  20. James Cook and all the RBs. We are gonna try and chew clock, long drives, and keep their offense off the field as much as possible.
  21. To be clear, I never said I believed in him coming into the season after I was down on him after last year. I said I had some renewed optimism by the time season started given his reportedly strong camp and being a contract year, but I was never sold and I still needed to see it on the field...and so far, I haven't.
  22. Dude you keep moving the goal post lmao. No one is judging him off 3 games...they are judging him off 3 years and 3 games SMH. And he is on pace for 901 yards, not 1000. If he goes on to produce MORE than he has been producing, then great, it wouldn't be an issue now would it. I don't see anyone complaining about your made up year end stats that have not happened yet...they are concerned about the ACTUAL inconsistent performances and ACTUAL pace he is on not being anything better than what we have seen in the past. If he goes on to show consistency and reliability week to week the rest of the season then that is great. But he hasn't been consistent in his first 3 years and he hasn't been consistent in the first 3 games. So we are still waiting for that to happen.
  23. Dude, you are manipulating that info lol. All but 3 catches came in one game but you keep grouping it to mask his lack of production in 2 of them. There is not another player in the league making that kind of impact...you mean like catching just 3 out of 8 passes over 2 games? You know, you are probably right, they are likely on the bench lol. The list of WR's having a bigger impact and more production for their team than Davis is long. There are rookies doing better so far.
