Well said.

They play entirely different defensive schemes. That being said, you are right: generally guys play better when they play next to a guy who is good.

Let the Travis Kelce show continue

Are the raiders good? I just don’t see how. Convince me otherwise. Temporary placeholder HC. Lack of talent at WR. A few decent pass rushers and a leaky secondary. Aside from the week 1 OT win against Balt, who have they beat? Miami in OT? The eagles? PIT? They’ve lost to the bears and the giants, and play in the Uber competitive afc west. they are not a threat.

Klein played well. And I am not a huge fan of the style of play that Edmonds brings to the table. But let’s not get carried away. Edmunds is a versatile athlete who gives the bills the flexibility and range MCD wants. Klein is not. I was talking about this today, too. Not necessarily rotating but finding a specific role or package for Klein they could use situationally. He diagnoses very quickly and plays downhill with a thump.

I would agree. I wasn’t arguing any of your other points, but instead clarifying the design of most RPOs as I know them. I also never called into question the use of frequency of RPOs in todays game (which I did watch btw). I was simply disagreeing with your point that the design of the RPOs were to blame. It was the execution of the running game that has held them back, and today they executed at a higher level. Go Bills

This is not accurate, IMO. RPOs upfront are running plays. They are never expected to pass block, and instead are playing the run from the get go. Specifically, these plays are designed to be executed in a way that allows for the QB to still pass the ball, while the OL is run blocking. For example, stretch zone with horizontal movement…. They are coached up not to move onto the second level, but instead work down the LOS, washing guys who cross their face. The QB generally reads a specific player, who would determine if they have the hats to get it done upfront or if it’s best to swing it to a WR/TE where the numbers are better. Pair this with the a quick decisive throw, and the OL is none the wiser. I’m not sure this is the Kryptonite they’ve faced on O the last few weeks. I think they ran the ball better today, because they weren’t relying on Cody Ford, and had early success with the quick pass game. I don’t think the RPO aspect was a huge factor, although it is coincidental.

This isn’t going away, idt. Best thing they could do for him. They should rest him and make sure he is 💯 before activating him. These soft tissue injuries tend to linger, especially for fast twitch type athletes. Hopefully they lose a few games along this stretch.

Are you NYSTRS tier 6?

I am intending to use the three-pronged system: Pension, Investments, Social Security. My wife (31) and I (30) are both state employees, and can retire at 55. However, our retirement tier for said pension substantially improves in value for each year past 55 that we vest (approx 8% additional per year of the average of our highest 3 years salary, maxed at 63 years of age). We have separate, aggressive 403B accounts that we have been contributing to since our mid 20s in tax-sheltered deductions from our checks. We also recently opened a Roth IRA (in her name, of course!). Additionally we have the “rainy day fund” in our personal savings and obviously account for home improvements, vacations, surprise expenses, etc. Aside from the mortgage at 3.6% interest (we owe approx 188k over the next 25 years), we have no debt aside from the car payment and credit cards, which we clear off in full each month. The one area we are knowingly missing is the life insurance, which now that my daughter is 6m and we have a little extra income, we are going to secure in the coming months. We don’t live a lavish lifestyle, but live comfortably, afford what we want to a certain degree, eat and drink well and take the occasional family trip. One day I want a vacation home (not sure where) and in 30 years I am hoping that Roth IRA will the down payment on the home. Other than that, I plan to live easy and keep it simple and hopefully celebrate a few super bowl victories along the way

Any age factor to this, no requirement for number of vested years?

Should have gone for it

Because you can’t go for one-a

Can’t believe I stayed up for this

Going to need another defensive TD, me thinks

Dude low-key tried to score 6…been waiting for that moment his whole career lol

No worries… you won’t need that time out later.

Is it possible we’re just spoiled with Allen’s arm arrogance that we can’t appreciate his average throws?

Tua has a noodle for an arm

This has aged poorly. Miami D looking phenomenal

It’s only 3-0 and this game couldn’t be more unbalanced. Miami is done for.

Everything Bagel seasoning. put that on some avocado toast with a poached egg and you’re in business.

Absolutely the 1 sees is valuable. What doesn’t seem so important to me anymore is if you’re the 2, 3 or 4 seed.

Pretty sure he started for them last week

I think Brisset is in another week
