The first 3 games are going to remind the world how good Mahomes is.

Jets base D vs Bills 12 personnel decides the game.

The Bills will go to the Super Bowl

Boogie ~ AJE.

I see the defense staying the same as we seem to be preferinf zone covers over guys who play press man. Unless McD surprises teams with subpackages that deploy more variety, I think this is the same defense.

Remember the TB12 method got ragged on for being unscientific? The JA17 method is better. Wings > Low Inflammation Foods Beer > Water Golf > Resistance Band Training Movie Star > Model

My argument is simply without Jones that stresses the team defense has to be on the field more, exposing more guys to injuries, and on offense Mahomes will need to score more points per game, and likely have less game clock to do it. The opponents matter and I get he will return, my hope is he returns to a lesser version of the team than they will be Week 1.

But for the weeks he is gone that does damage to the rest of the roster. See 22 Bills after Von went down.

Crazy but I actually think this could be the thread that unravels the Chiefs 23 season. More points given up, means defense spends more time on field, offense less. Chiefs O will need to score even more points with less clock, putting strain on aging TE Kelce. Mahomes can make magic happen, but he’s not a God, just a magician.

16oz or 22oz?

#1 account for all dump off passes. IE: the RBs and chipping TEs. Don’t give away easy yards. Make Rodgers earn it over the top on long developing routes. Punish him for hanging on to the ball over 2.5 seconds. #2 overload to stop the run. #3 make Rodgers win over the top. Rodgers gets fidgety the longer the ball is in his hands. #4 hit Rodgers on/after every deep pass if within the allowed time on/after release. #5 Allen & Company must play a clean game. No short fields. Limit turnovers. Think a 4 quarter game. #6 ST must control return game on punts and kickoffs. No short fields.

Diggs, Davis, Kincaid, Knox combine for 3,500 yards and 40 TDs. Allen throws for 56 tuddys. This will be a magical season. Cue the epic 80s rock ballads.

Very simple Beane has had average drafts from 2019-2022. That ‘curse’ seems to have ended in 2023 with the first 3 picks all looking like solid contributors. Then there is the McDermott/Frazier mistake. Allen practically Brady’d his way through KC in 2021 playoffs only to be let down by poor coaching and a coin toss. If anything Allen has helped cover up the flaws of Beane & McDermott/Frazier. No way the Bills pile up a 37-9 regular season record since 2020 without the brilliance of Allen.

The defensive regression being the starting safeties are getting older, a step slower, both having injury history - that comes with high usage. Tre White should be back to near ACL performance level, but there is always the concern of never fully coming back to 100%. And yes the fact Edmunds had so much length, size and speed to clog up the passing lanes in middle of the field. Kirskey has decent size, but is 31 and slowing down too. He doesn’t have exceptional height 6’2” vs Edmunds 6’5”, nor does he have long arms 32-3/8” vs 34.5”, or 40 time 4.72 seconds (2014) vs 4.54 Edmunds. Bernard is my hope for the middle as he is just a better athlete at this point of his career.

I agree with every bullet point. On defense an argument could be made we will be worse, but don’t expect falling off a cliff. I watched a YouTube video titled Belichick Defensive Genius. The premise being how the Patriots play Dime defense, and use their safeties and cornerbacks like LBs. I believe Kincaid is the key to unlocking our offense. If we can deploy 12 personnel effectively (pass & run) we will light up the Patriots, Jets & Fins.

To be fair Belichick is donating 10% to Robert Kraft’s legal fund.

You are….Maury

If we roll him around in flour do we find him?

The illegal streamers will always be one step ahead. Lots of ways to stream outside US patent office jurisdiction.

Kincaid and Torrence are basically starters, and Dorian Williams flashed in the preseason. I think 2023 will help correct course.

Nothing running with being a deep route runner, as long as you like running.

This standoff ends Week 8, correct?

Depending on the outcome vs the Jets the national sports media's Bills narrative will have to adjust. There are 3 plausible reactions: #1 Bills squeak out a win. NSM "Bills almost choked." #2 Bills lose by any margin. NSM "Bills lose our reign is over in the AFCE." #3 Bills blow out the Jets. NSM "Rodgers looked old. Bills are lucky Jets didn't acquire a different QB."

What's more likely to happen in the AFC? I believe it rests on the health of the QBs.
