I think he just needs to cool down. He has leaned so far into this WWE persona it is borderline unwatchable. Even Schrager seems to be getting in on the action. Kyle Brandt's Basement is one of the worst football podcasts I have ever listened to/watched. Not an exaggeration, it is that bad. They should pull it off the air ASAP before KB burns out and people are sick of him.

It is a real problem for some guys. Like very real. I have won a handful of National Championships, and I did not travel well for a long time. I needed to really dial in my travel routine in order to perform. I would show up to race the heats and regularly get my teeth kicked in and have no idea why, then win every other progression of the program handily. Some had a lot more than me trouble getting their travel routines right. For me it was sort of like how Emmitt Smith used to say he needed to take that first hit to get into the game. But some people I knew could never get into their groove if they botched their travel routine.

MM seems like a super weird dude for NFL circles. But NFL circles are not real life. I’ve generally liked everything thing I have heard from him since he got hired. I hope he finds success at his second job.

This has likely been brought up by Drew Rosenhaus in Poyer talks.

Josh Allen.

If you extrapolate YPA and bring Allen even with TUA on attempts, he leads the league in yards. I know, "ifs and buts". The most wild stat is that Geno Smith leads the league in completion percentage at 85%.

This legitimately is hilarious. But also, that was a gorgeous throw and an amazing pick by Hyde.

Wizard!

Dude loves to be cucked...

I saw that. He was super cool about it. And he is right, he didn't play long enough or well enough to be in the HoF. I respect his own take on that. Not upset at the Tasker thing. It is his show and he was sort of shocked into processing his own nomination. I love MacAfee. I think he is the best in the biz for NFL podcasts. I think there is the possibility down the line to talk about whether or not he deserves to get in as a broadcaster. He is only 6 years removed from playing in the league and in a short time has become a behemoth in the NFL media world. There is a real possibility he crosses the "can you tell the story of the league without including (insert name)".

Don't know where this goes....but has anybody tried to watch/listen to Kyle Brandt's basement? I find it literally unwatchable and a total cringe-fest. A year or two ago I wanted KB injected right into my veins. Loved it. Loved the Bills hype. But that podcast/show is a total abomination. Woof. Do the right thing and take Old Yeller out behind the barn.

I like Benford (and Elam). But it is waaaay too soon to make that judgement. I liked Wallace. But he was a guy I always wanted upgraded. But league wide, more often than not upgrading from a guy like Wallace as CB2 is easier said than done. That said, I think Dane Jackson is an upgrade and is going to be a player in this league. I am really high on Jackson. The noise from drafting a guy in the first and the dark horse Benford is really muffling how important Jackson's play has been. He is head and shoulders better than both rookies currently, and only has 22 NFL games (10 starts).

Hoping Tre is back week 6 for KC. Play a side, the defense has been redlining the last two weeks. Remember when your friend who swore by adderall in college found cocaine? This is that but football.

Shhhh. He’s on a roll!

Dude. It was wild! I didn't put much down, so I am not going to pretend I am some crazy gambler rolling in dough. I was visiting with my grandfather and we were just sort of messing around. It paid out 9-1, so we will get a nice dinner. But it isn't like I am risking anything real. I try and find something I feel good about (and reasonable) outside of the Bills to keep me engaged. Then I will take some stupid prop bet on the Bills. More often than not my dumb bet and my smart bet cancel each other out. I don't make $400k per year.

I just want to announce that I took Buffalo at -30.5. Thanks guys!

We don't. But if we never line up behind center unless its to run/pick up short to mid yardage, we don't give ourselves much of a chance. As with anything it is one of the drawbacks of the way we run our high powered offense. I guess we could be more like Tennessee.....hahaha

My guess from my idiot brain is that it is because of how much we line up in shotgun. It puts our RB's at a disadvantage for those grind it out yards because they take the ball flat footed. Which means defenses can rush without worrying too much about the RB.

Davis…

I had the same exact thought. Also watching the replay felt a lot like me playing Madden. As soon as Herbert threw it he charged the DB. He knew it was a bad decision before it left his hands.

LAC just isn’t ready yet. They’re last years Bills; but maybe a little better or the late season version. They can go really far this season if they put it all together week after week. Nobody wants to see play them. They’re beatable. But if you don’t bring your A game and/or they show up hot, they’ll beat the crap out of you. KC has Mahomes, and they’re the better team right now. LAC has certainly been disruptive. But probably more opportunistic than they have actually “been better” tonight.

Don’t mind me. I’m the resident idiot.

A lot of people ripping on Asante Samuels. Isn’t he like 100 in NFL years? This doesn’t feel like failing. This feels like a rebirth. He’s the Benjamin Button of CB’s.

KC feels like the better team who can’t get in a groove against an opportunistic and disruptive LAC team. The Chargers are last years late season Bills. They haven’t “arrived” yet. But if they get hot at the end of the season they’re going to be a problem for everybody.

I think they are better than last year and Tyreek gives us some issues. Thorn means annoyance. It doesn't mean I think they're likely to beat us. I have way spicier takes than "Miami is going to be an annoying team to play".
