They're going to find JC Jackson bloodied on the shower floor.

How did the Chargers not get to Tua even once???

Correct me if I'm wrong-- Tua has not been sacked once?

Phins’ quarterback Tagovailoa Is ten pounds heavier, don’tcha know-a Learning Jiu Jitsu-a” May help protect Tua But his quarterback skills will still blow-a

JC Jackson has skills, and no brains.

Wow. What a stupid play by JC Jackson.

Pretty exciting game out at SoFi.

Hill/Waddle in the open field is tough to defend. But once the Fish get to the red zone, they're struggling.

Running backs around the league making the case for higher a value for their position.

With blue cheese.

Is Fangio running some sort of bend-don't-break defense? They're bending too far! 🤣

Bengals just want to get back on the bus.

Burrow benched???

Browns' defense has been molesting the Bengals

Josh Allen's acting has gotten better.

Prediction: We'll never see Deshaun Watson do a Lambeau leap into the crowd.

All of a sudden, Watson looks pretty good...

Watson took a shot...

Watson looks awful. But, what the hell is Burrow doing out there??? He looks worse!

In week 8, the Dolphins' defense spent the first half of the game utterly frustrating the Bills' offense. After the half, the Bills adjusted, and the Dolphins dropped their scheme that had payed such dividends, and the Bills came back and dominated them. That was the 26-11 game. Later in the week, Urban Meyer, the Jags HC, was asked about the first half of the Bills v. Fish game, and if he had seen a weakness in the Bills offense. He answered in remarkably detailed terms, and basically spelled out what he had seen, and why the Dolphins had been successful with it (albeit, only in the first half). Essentially, cover zero sub six. And the following weekend, that is exactly what the Jags did to beat the Bills. I remember being stunned that Meyer would show his hand so freely, and in such detail-- that's why I remembered the Dolphins game. Be that as it may, I stand by my remarks to ScottLaw.

Well, there's balanced, and there's balanced. When Daboll was running a pure spread offense, with no run game in '21, teams like the Dolphins, and Jags did figure out how to exploit it. I think they feel Cook is a key element because he only needs to be average as a running back, but with legit receiving skills. If we can trust Allen to read a defense, and execute an RPO, (we certainly can), then the balanced attack becomes a nightmare for opposing defenses. Which I know doesn't negate, or contradict your point. An RPO is "in Allen's hands," so to speak.

In my opinion, Bucky Brooks has zero original ideas, or opinions. I think he mostly reads what other people say, and regurgitates it onto his column. At this time of year, that means he’s spitting back up all sorts of clickbait hot-takes. And as the season progresses, it transitions into restating the obvious. Lazy journalism.

I would certainly agree. I think all the O-lines in the AFCE are fairly mediocre. The Jets probably have a slightly better D-line, and the Bills a slightly better O-line. The Bills are well set up for a lot of two TE formations, and I believe they ran these even with Morris and Joel Wilson in the preseason. I also think the Jets' TE Uzomah will be backing their O-line all day. It's going to be a tough battle, to be sure. I agree with @juno999 above that the team that protects their QB the best wins. But, I will add that if that battle is a wash, Josh Allen has the edge.

He is

If there are issues with the field, I'd feel better about our O-line playing on it than I would feel about the Jets O-line, with Mekhi Becton having left preseason game one after four snaps because his knee wasn't digging the turf.
