Atlanta has two studs on offense that can just about win the game for them all on their own

Uh Texans are easily the best defense in the league

Five man rush, messy pocket, Maye overthrows his WR. There you go.

That is just poor defensive play calling. 3rd and long and you rush 4 giving plenty of time for someone to run open downfield. To my eyes blitzes have gotten to Maye today.

Pats passing offense hasn't looked the same since Boutte went down. He's been legit good for them this year.

I think it will be close as it always is. Our winning formula is Cook going off for at least 150 yards and our edge rushers dominating. Short of that I don't think we have the offensive firepower to edge out a close win.

Atlanta's DL looks much slower than I remember

Pats downfield passing offense is tough to deal with. Good pass protection and route combinations designed to get someone open downfield.

Waddle only costs $585K this season for the team that trades for him:

Apparently Waddle is available:

I thought we were talking about offense. When Allen does well the offense does well. With Allen and this run game we're automatically a top 5ish offense. But some of us believe we need to be the #1 offense to win a championship. That caliber of offense isn't possible with this WR room, period. I want Allen to have the capability of performing at his absolute best because that's the only way we're going to win it all. We've had three games this year where we needed the passing offense to be at its absolute best on critical drives, and they delivered on one out of those three. That's not good enough. We can talk in circles all day about how Kincaid technically qualifies as a WR or whatever else, but at the end of the day this offense hasn't gotten it done when it needed to and that's directly tied to the receiving weapons.

These are one in the same.

She's sure hiding it well 😁

Relevant Bills notes:

I think it's the opposite. Chris Grier has no reason to trade away assets since it's his job on the line. With a yes man put in his place they can go into fire sale mode. We'll see.

Probably no chance they would trade within the division but maybe if we blow them out of the water we could get Waddle?

Didn't Al Michaels read the thread title??

If Miami just kicked FGs on all their 4th downs it would be 14-12. So many good looking drives utterly wasted.

The problem is it doesn't make up the bad call. Miami is about to be 1st and 10 from like the 11 yard line. Instead they ended up punting. Adding 10 yards to a kick return doesn't come close to making up for that.

Why does officiating seem even worse than usual this year?

YPA on its own is a not a good ranking metric. It doesn't factor in sacks, TDs, or INTs. ANY/A is the gold standard. Allen's ANY/A is ranked 9th at 7.27. Goff is 6th at 8.00. 9th is pretty good of course but top 10 should be the bare minimum standard with Allen at QB. Nobody has any confidence that in situations where we need to pass the ball to win we could do it. We're 1 for 3 in that scenario this year. If we get to face the ghost of Jaire Alexander then we have a shot. If not it's extremely dicey at best.
