Of course not. What's your real question?

One could argue they learned their lesson from the Randy Moss experiment. Edelman has 3 rings, Moss has zero. The Pats were at their best when they ran boring efficient offenses with dependable player. The Chiefs philosophy has been the same after Mahomes first couple years. Yes. Is it not obvious that they serve completely different roles? See my note above above Edelman vs Moss. As for how you're ranking it, you may not be factoring in situation, but I am. Situation is EVERYTHING in sports.

He's the best in the league at the thing that he does, and that's what matters. Put him on Philly and he probably doesn't see the field. In Buffalo he's our Julian Edelman, and that makes him the most important weapon on the team, even if we had a guy like Metcalf who's clearly a tier or two ahead from a pure WR standpoint.

Yes, because they had a bizarre fixation on trying to make the Miller situation work despite it being clear it wasn't. McDermott also maintains an unbreakable stance that he MUST constantly rotate his defensive line regardless of game situation and if the talent dropoff is massive, like it has been for years. I don't know if you remember, but more thana few people were upset about AJ being spelled for Miller in critical situations, and Miller predictably went on to lumber 10 yards out of the play.

The difference is Von was getting snaps in prime opportunities at the expense of Epenesa. AJ was playing on obvious rushing downs where Von wasn't.

He was playing so few snaps because he's beyond washed.

24? Is he switching to safety? Which one of these do you think was Epenesa?

That's not it. It has NOTHING to do with him and everything to do with the Bengals. The Bengals are forcing him to sign a pre-nup that stipulates they can void his contract for a myriad of reasons, and non specific reasons deemed as being "in default" of his contract that no other rookie is subject to. The Bengals are 100% to blame here. https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/bengals-shemar-stewart-contract-dispute-2025-draft You understand they're contractually obligated to do this via the CBA right? Players must earn 48% of the league revenue. And frankly I think that's too low.

It doesn't sound right because that's not at all what's happening.

That Bills defense was an absolute sieve though.

Is the game in September or January?

Well, clearly not because they're building a brand new stadium for billions of dollars and they explicitly chose NOT to have a dome. It's been done and dusted for years. Silly to keep whining about it at this point.

I'm continually glad this type of florida-man thinking lost out.

It's very steep. Reminds me of The Aud.

I don't even think Solomon is on the Team after week 6. It wouldn't shock me if he doesn't even make it out of camp. He belongs on the PS.

If that was true maybe he'd have more than 6 starts over the last 2 years. He was thrust into the starting lineup due to injury, played ok and was then benched as soon as there were better options. Hamlin isn't a world beater, but he's a legitimate fringe starter. I don't know why folks act like he sucks.

Damar is a lock to make the team. His contract is fully guaranteed and he's a multi-year starter. Forrest is a dart throw.

It better be over by at least 4. If it's not over, we probably miss the playoffs. Why the massive regression for AJ?

If that's fat, I'm cooked.

Realistic: AFC Div Champ - Lose to KC/Bal in Division or AFCCG Optimistic - SB Appearance

I only buy knockoffs. I've had good luck most of the time except for a 50th anniversary Dahlin sweater where the gold trim looks like garland. My Paul Posluszny jersey isn't great either. The rest are good to great.

The goal is do their best to pretend like they have a championship team while they made the move for Rodgers. Fitzpatrick, while their best secondary player, has fallen off the last couple of years from impact plays, and safety isn't as valuable as corner, and adding Smith adds a potential weapon on offense where the cupboard is a bit bare. Ramsey and Fitzpatrick could wash out for them depending on what they do at S. If Tua became available, I think there would be a heavy market for him. He's a player you can win with. He probably can't win it all, but he's better than a lot that's out there.

How is that weird? Seems close to equal value when you consider the cap dump.

Damn. Fitzpatrick could have been a missing piece for us. Would have loved to see a 3 way trade here.

The NFL is far more likely to ruin their own game by way of rule and format changes due to their own greed, than sports betting is, IMO.
