Lots factors into this. 1) our capacity compared to market size was always high but our market has shrunk. Going to 60k brings us close to league average for market size. 2) ticket sale sused to be a huge money maker for teams. Now the money is dominated by broadcast rights so you dont NEED large stadiums with high capacity 3) demand for being in the stadium has dwindled because the home-watching experience has gotten so good. Gone are the days of crowding around a 16in CRT. Now the at home experience is much better than in the stadium in terms of watching the game. Didnt used to be that way when the Ralph was built.

Maybe they figured were already part of Canada. Lions arent there either.

we arent there haha

bad execution in the RZ is our primary issue but to be 0-5 in once score games is such bad luck. To be even 2-3 would mean a world of difference on how we all feel about this team. Last year we had the Rams game and the Patriots game 1 where we won games on some luck. This year we have the the opposite in the Titans game and the Buccs game where some bad luck lost it for us.

I saw they were released from the COVID list but not that they practiced.

I think this just signals out bad our depth is. Any time we have an injury our performance stinks. Brown, Star, Edmunds, Knox. If 2 of them are out we have no way to compensate. But when healthy we can be best in the league.

I think it should help us.

Even if a storm is inevitable, its very hard to predict precise timing. Something could shift and push it to Monday at midnight or something.

The exchange at 3:30 is interesting. Seems like Chad has seen Josh not trust the play at times... hence the repeated "Just F***ing trust it"

I think a difference is that 1) they havent had a really ugly loss. Theyre losses are mostly close to good teams (besides week 1). 2) They are rolling without any hiccups. If they had won 4 of 5 with a head scratcher in the mix Id feel different. But they come out ready to play week after week. Mac Jones isnt really stellar but is playing well and the defense is just flat out good.

Not in the wine sense haha

IMO the biggest factor to limited Taylor will be the offense. Get a lead early, and force them to throw more. This is exactly what we didnt do against Tenn which cost us. I think we figured some stuff out last week and I expect us to score. The Indy D isnt anything special.

Correct. I am only inferring that "Nobody has been ruled out yet" But maybe they mean players with traditional injuries. Or maybe hes just being vague. We will find out soon enough.

No, I just saw this: I think it has been updated though that he wont discuss Spencer's vaccination status.

McD says nobody has been ruled out yet, including Brown. Does that mean hes vaccinated? Otherwise couldnt he be fully ruled out already?

Missed throws by Rivers are extremely characteristic. Wait, Milano is out? When did that happen?

That is until defenses figure out how to stop it. Then we can revert back to Shotgun. just keep adjusting. Its very nice to know he can play under center though, he struggled in 2019 I believe.

I figured Ken Dorsey would be the obvious internal choice for OC if Daboll leaves but this makes me think Chad Hall would have a real shot at it.

Only thing that gives me hope is that I would have said the same thing last year about us and the Steelers. Then we did win out, and the Steelers faultered hard down the stretch. It can happen.

I think of Diggs as having a pretty bad year honestly. Hes 7th in total yards with a player above him that hasnt had a bye yet. If they find even 80% of their connection from last year he could be top 3 WR again. Its bad how spoiled weve become.

Pats, Steelers, 49ers could all be tricky. But easier than theyve played already

I am not saying this will happen but...I think Sundays game was a big step for this team. Putting Josh under center, using 12 personnel, having Brieda on the field, etc. I think we added a shiny new club to the bag. With those formations worked on, we can switch from 10, 11, 12 personnel in the game (assuming injuries and inactives) to get stuff going.

I think I remember reading that in 1992 Bills lost back to back games being favored by 10+ points in both. Still made the SB that year. edit: Week 13 we lost to the 4-7 Colts as 16.5 pt favorites then in week 14 we lost to the 3-9 Jets as 17 point favorites.
