  1. It's absolutely true that you can't know anything for sure about the schedule until the games are happening. But when this gets (correctly) used as a response to people who worry about a schedule in April, it (like all other stances) inevitably goes further than it logically should, because you absolutely CAN have SOME idea for how tough a schedule can be beforehand. The board consensus about this year's schedule began before last season was over, and was largely correct. Because while some teams are surprises, MOST teams follow typical positive or negative developmental paths, give or take a couple of wins. Which is why we have concepts of rebuilds and declining contenders in our heads in the first place. Even if the teams were bad, lining up two western divisions is tough for travel purposes, it is logical and likely statistically demonstrable that cross country games are harder than ones nearby, all else equal. Adding the fact that the Seahawks, 49ers, Chiefs don't look to be falling off any time soon, and most of the other teams aren't jokes, and the fact that we'll have a 2nd place schedule, it's completely reasonable to suggest that we'll have a tougher road next year, especially compared to this one.
  2. He runs pretty upright.
  3. I mean I had absolutely no idea what that was until all y'all pervs commented on it
  4. I wondered if he had squinted at our schedule and noticed no games two Sundays from now, because of our Thanksgiving game. But even then he was a week off
  5. Worried about them going 10-6 or 11-5 with that schedule, along with Indy and HOU doing the same thing.
  6. ***** the Raiders. They worry me.
  7. The eagles are kinda pathetic since their scoring drive
  8. You just can't turn the ball over to this team in that location. It's amazing how teams will hand NE 10 gaffes per game.
  9. There's not actually any question about it, it's unambiguously within the rules
  10. And yeah, Daboll called a great game. Edmunds and Star and Oliver were all great. The whipping boys redeemed themselves.
  11. That's what everyone asked for, and few believed would happen. For some reason Everything about today was good, except for two fumbles, Nsekhe's injury, and special teams. I'm going to the Denver game, first one since 2014. Thrilled at how meaningful it will be.
  12. Oliver beasted his way into the backfield there.
  13. Didn't he fumble like three of those last year? I'll take the sure hands of Roberts even if he's had an off day. And even on an off day, he had one very nice return.
  14. The Bills have more points than any other team right this second today!
  15. Great start to the half. Football-wise, at least. Get well Ty.
  16. Then why did you put your previous post in the GAMEDAY THREAD?
  17. Nice awareness by John Brown. What a nice addition by Beane.
  18. I honestly can't believe they overturned that. So happy we got the momentum back. Got scary for a second. Such is the nature of NFL football!
