Best $20 you can spend! I have thought with primetime games in general because basically two decades worth of fans got conditioned to 1pm games 15 times a year they didn't realize if you are half way decent you play primetime and biggest nights semi regularly.

You can borrow my amazon subscription just dont buy anything lol

He stole his lunch money

Just want to note while they were top 3 (2 actually) in scoring on offense they were really more a top 10 offense as overall ypg, passing ypg, and running ypg where around the top 10 range. So I actually would like to see the offense move up top 5 in yards per game and be a little more diversified. How they do that? I don't care, Palmer looks to be the best deep guy they've had in a long timer but I still think their pass catching group is middle of the road and would take a bigger name to eat targets.

The fact Solak liked their FA is wild to me, he hateeesss Buffalo

The problem is it isn't one game or post season, collectively in every single Bills playoff loss to end the year since Josh was the starter the defense has wilted. Texans and Chiefs in 23' are the closest you've seen to the defense putting up a fight and I have been pretty vocal 23' the coaching staff did a good job given the lineup being so decimated. But when other opponents of KC the weeks before and after blow apart their offensive line but our defense can't it says something. Yes Benford was out, but the Bills got beat by Mahomes on scrambles left and right and other teams overcome injury yet we lose one guy and its 30 + points allowed again. Josh and the offense have scored 24, 36, 24, & 29 points vs KC. Until PHI ran rough shot on them in the SB they have been the only offense to put that many points on the Chiefs defense in the post season the last two years. The offense had a B level performance and still had the team to 29. At some point it would be nice for the defense to actually hit Mahomes, get some sacks, hold them to under 24 points or less once?! Not allow literally Mahomes to have some his best games of his career. You do realize the Bengals in both matchups with KC held the Chiefs to 24 and 20 points allowed? If Josh had that level of defensive support once they are in the SB or the AFC title game again. It is far more a coaching thing then talent at this point. Spags throwing the sink at Josh on the final play showed it in spades. It was a gutsy move but one that was unexpected and got Josh off just enough to force a tough throw he still almost landed. That is coaching at its finest.

Agreed. The numbers are staggering that against anyone else KC on offense is not nearly as good in the playoffs, but they really manage to get to our D and coaching staff hard come post season. 2023 I think the coaching staff (outside of the Hamlin Disney movie 4th down call) was the one time they actually went toe to toe coaching wise with KC and we got beat by bad luck and inches. The defense was scotch tape at that point and the only gameplan that worked was what the Bills did which was ball control the heck out of KC and hope by making them play a million plays you got some turnovers. Again, game of inches and it still didn't fall our way. But other than that the defense specifically and coaching staff is just a step behind every year come playoff time in the big game (especially vs KC). The offense in all 4 playoff matchups has been 24 ppg or better. I was and still am (a bit) critical that Josh had the ball and the offense failed this year as you would want that every time imo. But realistically they scored 29 points with a B level performance on offense and never got any real support by our D. Not once in any of the four playoff games has the defense put up a performance on defense that is any better then a C+ (2023) and basically told the offense good luck be perfect which they were in 13 seconds and arguably were in 23' given the gameplan at that time. Beane certainly is trying again to bring in new talent and blood on the d-line which has never done a thing in the postseason vs Mahomes and McD has brought in some new faces coaching wise that are different from anything he has used prior which indicates to me a new philosophy. But until the games start and performance is real I am skeptical in the defense and coaching staff.

Its funny because if you look at the Jets history from 1981 to 2010 the Jets were decently average with some good teams but never breaking through or having a QB that could carry the team. They actually made the AFC title 4 times in those 29 years and despite NE being there in the 2000s they made the playoffs 6 of the 10 years with 2 division crowns and an AFC title. The Jets have always well Jetted to an extent, but in the past it was more missed opportunities vs the last decade + of pure ineptitude. Before the Jets picked Darnold over Allen it was O'Brien over Marino. I always felt Pennington was a good enough starter to go the distance but once his shoulder got wrecked it was what it was (not sure though with NE there if it would have mattered) I think the issue forever with the Jets which my uncle summarized well is the Jets chased the newspaper headlines while the Giants actually chased titles.

the good news is the draft is a 100% sure thing and you can just pick your fav position of choice to be a generational blue chip talent

Apparently we are playing Madden and either making new players OR teams are willing to just part with their best assets. To date the only elite level player moved was Metcalf, there has not been a single defensive player moved that was rumored & Hendrickson looks like he may be going back to CIN.

Bingo. CIN is the worst example possible. They missed because their defense was so awful and couldn't stop a beach ball... so they have decided to run it back.

This may be hard to believe but adding 3-4 ALL PRO talents is not exactly easy and if it was every team would do it. Even if you want to trade for a guy you need a team willing to actually move a guy also. I am sure Beane wanted and was in on Crosby/Garrett but if the team won't trade them you can't do anything about that.

1. Acceptable - they addressed the d-line like we hoped, WR addition has been made at an area they did not have that player, and the cap is open for additional moves. 2. Same Team- As of right now feels like the same roster to me until we see it in person. Maybe the defensive line is better but would need to see it in action before I say it is a massive improvement. I honestly think the draft and later FA addition in summer may add more wrinkles that improve the roster. The threshold to improve on offense is minimal, it is the defense where you hope the improvement is pronounced.

Chiefs played black friday and xmas this year, 49ers last year played on Thanksgiving on Xmas. Do not think for a moment the NFL cares about family, ratings only

The key to the night games is at least one of the big four games is not at night (KC/PHI/BAL/CIN) so which one is a 4:25 pm national game. Also which divisional game is at night is the other piece of the equation. My guesses: KC (MNF) PHI (SNF) CIN (Xmas Day Night) at NE (MNF) at ATL (TNF) PIT in Dublin
