Keep running

Illegal formation. That is so stupid

Oline has started well

Shakir out there first time in play 3.

Shakir not on the field

Ty Johnson starts at RB

Is everyone else's sound in and out?

We won a toss!!

I also need Allen plus Kincaid to beat Hall by the tune of 13 fantasy points. Just trying to speak into existance.

Let's goooooo Buffffaaaaallllllooooo!!

I can see that. I just think the Bengals weakness in both trenches is a pretty fundamental flaw. They have the worst combined O and D lines of any team who came into the season considered to have a Superbowl shot. But equally when Burrow and their two wideouts are on, I think they can hang with anyone. They are the one team in the NFL who wouldn't stun me if they were in the final four and yet also wouldn't stun me if they had a losing record.

MVS straight up.

I'm still clinging onto the hope that the answer is yes because he is still on his way back from the turf toe. But it is hope rather than expectation at this stage.

Yea same. The Bengals are the ones I don't know what to do with. I think they have a higher ceiling than the Bills but their flaws might be more fundamental.

I think the Jets will play like their tails are on fire tonight. But if it starts to go south then I wouldn't surprised to see them jack it in and a loss would see their season unravel pretty quickly IMO.

I'm higher on Tee than most people here. His production when Chase has missed time has always been solid. I think he can be a #1 receiver, he would instantly be the #1 here, but he isn't a guy I want to give up huge assets for. It would be an upgrade on having John Brown as the #1 in 2019 but he isn't in the same tier as having Stef Diggs as your #1. The knocks on him are drops and his own health issues, he has been nicked up a ton.

Brian Thomas has more yards than both.

I agree it is his job. I am not absolving him of any responsibility. I'm just saying honestly at the moment I don't see an obvious counter beyond the Bills receivers have to start winning some of those outside match ups. I'd like to see him use Samuel on some more vertical stuff. He isn't an every down option out there but he has some speed and we need to make some plays outside and force defenses to worry somewhat about that.

I think in the first half of the Houston game it was everything. The coaching was poor, the line struggled, the receivers suck and Josh was bad. Baltimore the week before was definitely about the receivers more than it was about anything else. The book on Buffalo is out. Don't let them beat you with Shakir and Kincaid between the numbers. Clog that up, give Josh 1 on 1s outside and see if his receivers can win those match ups. It's fine to look for Brady to come up with a counter punch. But with the talent available I'm not sure what that is.

Yea. He has. Was always very complimentary of McDermott and Frazier too. His right we lack team speed. He should know. He fielded the slowest team in the NFL the last few years.

I didn't mind them taking a shot at it. My view was always they should have done it in 2021 after he showed promise as a rookie and they moved on from Brown. That way they'd have found out early whether he was up to a full time #2 role when they were still a bit more flexible cap wise and then they could have planned from there. Instead they spent money on a one year rental of Sanders in 2021, then invested most of their FA dollars in 2022 on yet anothet revamp of the Dline and went in with Davis pencilled in as the 2 and really no way to do much about it if that didn't work. Of course at the same time they should have been taking shots at them in the draft. To me their strategy was way off.

He was a slam dunk of a 4th round pick.

Agree. I hate it. I'm against all gimmicky solutions to problems like this. Either you want kick offs as a meaningful exciting play in the game OR you worry about the full speed impact injuries. You kinda have to pick your poison. This strange halfway house suits nobody.

Okay Texas might be a machine but overall I am really enjoying this college football season. It feels, to me at least, like fewer huge blow out wins by the top 3 or 4 ranked teams. I have been saying for years that is what was needed. You can fiddle with playoff formats all you like what you need is competitive games. I'm not sure if this is by design or just an anomoly but most of the games I have watched this year have been competitive.

Day 3 picks. Neither has yet proven themselves an above average starter.
