Done

And how did that end for us? We went into the playoffs last year knowing that we couldn't stop anyone on defense when it actually mattered. The way we chose to address that was by bringing in Von Miller and Kaiir Elam - neither of whom are playing. We also took a step back on offense. I don't understand how anyone is realistically expecting us to have a better result this year than we did last year, because on paper we haven't meaningfully improved, and Josh has been playing poorly. Hopeful? sure, why not. I don't think it's impossible for us to win it all, but we're either going to have to start playing a lot better or our competition is going to have to underperform in one of those bleh-style playoff years where the games aren't very good. That part could realistically happen if sliding teams are able to beat hot teams, the hot teams peter out, or a big inury happens to Someone like Mahomes, Kelce, Burrow, Tua, Hurts, Jefferson, Pollard etc.

Good deal. Glad to see them get quality representation.

It would be silly except I hammer Josh for his mistakes too. Unlike Edmunds however he makes massive plays that greatly impact the team and is maybe the best player int he league when he's firing on all cylinders. Edmunds is an invisible player who at his absolute best still is the 2nd best linebacker on his own team. I understand your argument, it just isn't very sound.

There are? Who? I've seen zero people who rank him in the top 20 across every list I've seen and his stats back it up. For all the ballwashing that goes on for Edmunds, he's not even close to the actual elite LB he's playing next to. https://www.nfl.com/news/2022-nfl-season-s-top-10-off-ball-linebackers-roquan-smith-trade-gives-ravens-tw https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-linebacker-rankings-and-tiers-monson-2022 https://www.scottfujita.com/best-linebackers-in-nfl/ https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/ranking-best-linebackers-2022-nfl-season https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/nfl-s-top-10-linebackers-2022

That's not true either.

My comment was in response to a claim that Edmunds strengths are a perfect matchup vs the Chiefs when statistically they are anything but. Context matters.

I don't? How long have you been following me exactly? Many posters would be shocked to hear this revelation.

Edmunds is far, far from "elite". After 5 years he's finally playing at an above average level but he's still not even a top 20 LB. If that's groot's future, we'll need a legitimate #1 EDGE.

Kollman is fantastic. QB School w/ J.T. o'Sullivan is really good too and The DB Room with Glover Quinn. I would start with Defense as I think it's easier to see the perspective of what happens on the rest of the field based on what the defense does. Specifically start with coverage schemes - Cover 1, 2,3,4,5,6,9 and then dive a little deeper into run fits. From there you can look at offensive packages and how they are designed to beat/exploit those coverages and how coverages can be masked/adapted on the fly to trick offenses into choosing the plays they do.

I sure did. Dominated my league all year long and got knocked out in the first round this week because of week 14 bye weeks, injuries, and Travis Kelce taking the week off. Maybe my best played year of all-time despite not winning.

I think he's a heisman trophy winner who was drafted #1 overall and currently has the 150th most passing yards in NFL history.

1. Diggs 2-7 Pick 'em.

nope - never. The NFL created a situation where the QB is the most important position in all of sports and they continue to double down on that. There's zero chance that the market gets any softer for QBs. If you don't have a QB, you might as well not even show up on Sunday.

He was a good player, but that's insane.

And? ACLs are basically routine repairs at this point. Yes, the rehab takes a long time to come back from, but most players make it back. It isn't 1982.

That same guy who was looking like Super Bowl MVP last year?

Why, are there worse players available?

"We have OBJ at home." This is really scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel. Maybe TO would like to come back too?

There are at least 20 RBs I'd pick over Singletary if cap/draft picks weren't a thing. It become abundantly clear that Davis is a system player, whose best role is that of a dynamic #4 - not a #2. Knox is a middling talent at best and not an every down threat that teams have to prepare to stop. McKenzie is flat out terrible. I really like Shakir, but the Bills sure don't seem to. Cook has elite athleticism, but not sure how adept he is between the ears. His confusion and missed assignment yesterday on the Diggs' screen was awful.

I buy all of my jerseys from direct chinese sellers. Generally speaking the price to quality is great as long as you shop smart and research the sellers. I did buy a 50th anniversary Dahlin sweater though that's unwearable. The gold border is basically christmas tree garland, and the sabres patch sits on the belly like a care bear. On football jerseys the biggest tell is that they print text like "Bills" with a single connected thread instead of each letter individually. Still for $30 instead of $250 for something I'll wear a dozen times a year? It's a no brainer. My Allen Jersey is great, as is my Peterman, Jackson, and Taylor. My Posluszny from ~07 doesn't hold up as well, but it's the comfortable to wear of them all.

I'm a never dome guy for the same reason. I've never been to an indoor sporting event - hockey included - where the intensity matched that of an outdoor football game. I feel like that shows up on the field too.

Yet the two loudest stadiums are open air: https://sportsbrief.com/facts/top-listicles/19096-which-loudest-stadium-nfl-moment-2022/

1. MLB (Trenton Simpson?) 2. S 3. OG 4. WR/RB 5. WR/RB 6. OL 7. Long Snapper? I'd rather see the bills get better line play and playmaker help through Free Agency. I'm hoping they either let Edmunds walk or tag him for one more year while a replacement comes up to speed.
