  1. Maybe our OL (in training camp) and the Rams OL made the Dline appear more “dominant” than it is? I still think it is a very good Dline when everyone is healthy. Don’t know if all the stats and expert opinions back it up, but from the untrained eye, I’m disappointed in the run defense of late and that more guys outside of Von and Rousseau seemingly haven’t been wreaking havoc.
  2. Just picturing Tre (just kidding, at least on my end…)
  3. Two weeks in a row playing in dome and coming out of it 8-3 will have me feeling a lot better, heading into our Thu night matchup w/NE. Won’t be a gimme to win the division at this point, but I have a ton of confidence this team will make the playoffs. If Josh can start playing smarter and DEF get a little healthier, we’re going to go on a nice winning streak.
  4. Yes, TBD comedy experts already deemed this not funny 😝
  5. Unless I missed an update, haven’t they already settled? https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/raiders-reach-undisclosed-contract-settlement-with-jon-gruden-just-weeks-after-coachs-resignation-over-emails/amp/
  6. I mean, they also owe tons of money on the new stadium, owed tons of guaranteed money to Gruden, and have lots of other expenses. Yes, lots of revenue sources for each team in the league, but doesn’t mean expenses far outweigh revenue and is putting the Raiders in a cash poor position.
  7. But what does Josh “putting his foot down” even mean, in relation to the purported vax issues, and how was that impacting their play on the field at that point? Did Josh have some dramatic speech that the team rallied around?
  8. If one looks at Wawrow’s tweets from Sunday, they’re entirely focused on the offense and Josh making dumb turnovers, rather than checking the ball down. Could be something like certain guys demanding the ball, Gabe Davis unhappy about his pay relative to others, etc. Who knows now!
  9. How do you know this for sure? 😇
  10. Does someone have the exact quote and context to the Pam Oliver interview? I remember hearing the “unfair” comment, and thinking that McD was referencing our poor OL play without specifically calling that unit out. On the broader topic of tension within the team, I have to think part of it is McD being pissed at Dorsey for abandoning the run starting at 2nd and 2 in the 4th, followed by the following three and out where the drive started with 4:34 left in the game. Two of the passes on the three and out were incompletions, and Minnesota had the ball back 1:08 later at 3:26. The Bills keep the clock moving there, and Minnesota doesn’t get the ball back until at least 2:45, maybe later if they hold off on using their last timeout. Run on the 2nd and 2 (or 3rd or 4th), and once again you at least keep the clock moving, and maybe get a first down. On top of potential tension there, I’m sure there’s lot of other resentment brewing amongst everyone, and who to “blame” (just like on TBD). As Shakespeare once said, “Expectation is the root of all heartache”. Right now, the Bills are not playing up to expectations, and everyone is at each other’s throats. Get back to winning, and that will solve everything.
  11. We as fans don’t need to see him in the field during the game to find this out. The coaches can tell during practice every day, whether he’s ready to compete at an NFL level or not.
  12. The only rational reasons I can think of are that he’s making a cry for help and/or ultimately appreciated Brady for calling him out. Otherwise, if he was trying blast Brady, that ain’t gonna be the way to do it.
  13. Given this point, it’s fair for you to be perplexed about the state of Tre’s circumstance, relative to Chase. Your original statement indicated the two had a “similar injury”, although that doesn’t sound to be the case.
  14. By this thought process, you at least need to give Tre nine extra days then. At that point, you are allowed to be perplexed.
  15. Based on what @boyst said, sounds like out of frustration for the team’s performance, if anything. Results just getting to him, combined with the fact of what he knows but can’t really elaborate on.
  16. LOL don’t worry, I get the jokes. That’s why I didn’t make this statement in reply to any of them. This is for anyone that actually thinks we should claim this guy.
  17. We’re not claiming this guy. Who would we cut to make room for him? We just traded for Hines, and can hardly fit him into the game plans.
  18. With Vegas at 2-7 now, and our showdown with the Dolphins having huge playoff ramifications, I don’t see how the NFL does not flex our 12/18 matchup to Sunday night.
  19. Yep, until we take the division back over, we will be 5th in the conference at best. Our fate is going to lie in how we do in the remaining division games. We win all four, we likely win the division. Each will definitely be a battle, though.
