So I have Godwin and I picked AB up in Fantasy... Start both in a couple weeks?

Thank you Kim Jones! Lol

Yeah agreed. I always like watching him play with a full cast of starters.

I think hes a pretty good tackler. Imo I think he struggles more when he has to cover great distances down the field. I think in shorter distances he can use his instincts and quickness. Maybe it would be a disaster but I think it's worth a try. Hes got good hips and change of direction and instincts, I think the downfield speed is kinda tough. From games I've watched too he loves being down involved in the run defense and getting his head in there.

Barkley

You're right. At the very least he could provide a spark.

I forgot about him lol.

I was thinking today, what about Josh Norman in the slot and we have Wallace/Lewis/Dane Jackson battle it out on the other side or maybe by committee.

That's a fair side... I do think there is a collective subconscious element on playing to your competition and the situation of the game that lowers the urgency though. Some of that us credit to our defense too. They did do a great job against the ravens although they did give up 3 tds to Lamar alone. In that situation they're bleeding the clock to end the game too so I think the element of situation does come into play there. Cowboys game, Bills were hyped up for sure and credit they played great. Still think they played alot of bad offenses and that's why they were ranked so high... there were alot of times in 2018 and 17 when they got smoked against top offenses... Also Philly put up 30 on them.

Yeah I'm good with taking the Tenn game completely out of it. I still think with the teams we still have to play we're going to take our lumps. I think one of the Pat's games will be high scoring, Miami again, Arizona, KC, Seattle... I think those all have potential to be shootouts. With the damage done already even taking the Titans game out of it I'd be pleasantly surprised if we're better than top 12. If Tua gets in there and isn't hot out the gate then that could definitely make a difference on that.

Imo, I think our defense was elite relative to the teams we played last year... I think we just played alot of bad QBs/offenses last year. And in a lot of those games our offense didn't put up a lot of points so there wasn't as much urgency to score against us like there is this year. I feel like had we played tougher competition last year, our defense would have ranked more in the 10-15 range. I think we have potentially a solid defense that will get better this year... I feel like our ceiling is probably in the 12-14 range overall. And our floor is probably about 18-20 overall when it's all over with. As I reflect I think (at least for me) that was altering my perception of what this defense really was. I do think we were better than this year game for game just with a little bit younger talent that was a little more twitched up. But I still think had we played a schedule like this year we would have been more of a top 10ish team than a top 2 team.

I feel like we got some decent pressure last night at times... after rewatching the game we were close several times. Tannehill just got rid of the ball quick alot... Alot of these timely penalties and third and shorts killed us. Tannehill was in favorable positions all night not having to compensate with third and long and that killed us too. Hes just a very fast processing quarterback and I give him credit. I think Edmonds is getting exposed with not having guys like Star and Phillips... Edmund's can plug those gaps when he has room and a split second to diag. the play. He doesn't have that luxury this year and is basically just taking himself out of the play. He never played MLB so he doesn't have elite MLB instincts... and this plus the penalties got us into alot of third and shorts last night. To fix this problem... this upcoming draft we need to draft two beast DTs early to fix Edmund's. I believe McBeane sees this and they will make it a priority this off season. We just have to deal with it this year, and lean on offense to carry us.

Good thread and Like a Mofo... I agree. I wrote this and was looking for a good thread to post it: "I will be honest. I'm not worried about us. We beat ourselves last night. The Titans were the beneficiary of that. We just need to not beat ourselves. It sucks it happened in embarrassing fashion on primetime TV, but better to happen now then in a more crucial time." We very well could lose to the Chiefs this week too. If we do we're still 4 and 2 with alot of football left. We have a tough schedule this year and we just need to get into the playoffs. I was hoping we were that lights out invincible team and JA was the MVP. Last night showed that we aren't that yet and he isn't that yet. That doesn't mean down the road we won't be and he won't be. We're still progressing toward that and are still a darn good team. Josh was 62% and threw for 263 and 2 tds (yeah 2 ints too but for a bad night I'd say)... that is growth right there. He and this team have grown. Just have to not beat ourselves and I think Josh will further craft his game on figuring out what do to in this type of game situation and it will bode well for us in the future.

So I just watch the games with Antenna... I live downtown and for some reason CBS doesn't come in alot and is very spotty... once the game started came in the whole game no problem... and the postgame show... now as the postgame show is ending it's all spotty again. Do you guys think they turn up the broadcast power during Bill's games?

Yeah I got Lamb... wondering the same thing.

Eddie Robinson played for the Bills.

"White people love Wayne Brady. Because Wayne Brady make Bryan Gumble, look like Malcolm X."

Doesn't Herbert know it take 3 years to do what hes doing? The nerve.

Anybody else kind of a Chargers fan? Feeling a little Bills connection. Lynn, Groy and Tyrod.

This is tough for me bc I am a huge Matt Barkley Fan. Brain says yes. Heart says yes. Matt Barkley fan on me says "Nooooooooo".

Any chance Tua gets in?

Don't care if Dotson is "too small". Put him in.

Dolphins are not a terrible team. They just played 2 top 7 teams the first 2 weeks.

Jerry Hughes looks like super Jerry Hughes... he looks like he put on like 15 pounds and is more powerful... Also... Dotson could be a candidate for replacing Milano next year.

I think this is true... I think he ran a 4.5 speed across the field with a strained or torn hamstring and it didnt even phase him... and hes like yeah I'm out.
