Bills 28 Aquatic Mammals 20 Bills control the game throughout using run to setup some big pass plays as Kincaid & Coleman feast on a weak Miami secondary. The Phins offense hangs around enough that it is 28-17 with 7 minutes to go, but Bosa sacks Tua on 3rd and long to force a FG and the Bills offense runs out the remaining 4 minutes to win a closer game then many thought.

I am still rewatching Jets game highlights and this sh*t is posting lol

I would add to this that the NFL has went from having maybe one true freak talented QB a decade who could just do things that weren't able to be duplicated (Elway, Young, Vick, Rodgers) to all the sudden three truly dominant ones in Josh, Lamar, & Mahomes where they do things that should be impossible and even the next crop under that with Daniels, Love, Hurts etc.. are guys that can not only pass but move pretty well. Pocket passers still can dominate as Burrow/Stafford have shown and Goff is certainly in that group too, but when you see a lot of these guys with this wild mobility it has changed the expectations I think people have for many passers.

Jared Goff has proven without good coaching and a solid cast of playmakers he cannot do it on his own which I think is why he always has an asterisk with how good he truly is or isn't given the truly best QBs can make it work in any circumstance. I will give him credit he has improved substantially from LA which I get why McVay traded him and with good coaching/playmakers he is a legit top QB. But like you said the moment he has pressure he is toast and that has forever been his Achilles heal. Also while I am admittedly not a Goff fan I do agree the narratives spun at the trade were also a bit overboard that he was trash etc.. He has proven given him a line with decent weapons and he can do a lot of things. The narrative on QBs these days is nuts and the patience is so thin. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Tua in a new spot with a decent line and coach got it going similar to 22/23, his issue and forever his issue is health.

I reallllyy wish people took the time to actual research things out. When the Lions got Goff he was a cast off and the trade was considered more for the picks media wise for the Lions then Goff himself. The Lions first half of the time with Goff/Ben were trash on offense, but the back half of 2021 they found their form which built into 2022 and continued big time into 23/24. To act like Johnson had nothing to do with it when literally there are legions of articles that said Goff was toast etc.. is hilarious and also reeks of today's what have you done for me now culture. Now will it work for the Bears? The hell that I know because the franchise looks cursed as hell... but I will allow a full season to happen and look at the whole picture before tossing the baby out of the bath water. Caleb has not looked great and the articles about him over summer do not paint a great picture, but if they start winning in the back half and he improves it all doesn't matter. Watching the Cowboys Netflix it was pretty hysterical how year 1 with Jimmy Johnson they went on thinking they were gonna take the world by the horns only to get run over. The NFL takes time (unless you play in the AFC South then who the hell knows) to build a true program up. Last week the Lions sucked and were falling apart now this week their back to being great. It is said the first half of an NFL season is fools gold in general with some teams so now is not the best time for strong takes.

Exactly. Last year they had perfect luck of plays going their way when you needed it most. This year is market correction as shown with Kelce getting hit in the hands at the goal line only to deflect it to the Eagles. They will still probably win 10-12 games, but watching last year they had the largest golden horseshoe I have seen in a long time for a team.

Was going to say the same thing. I'll never forget when people in 2014 I believe said the Pats dynasty was dead when they lost to the Chiefs 41-14 week 4.... they won the SB that year haha. Chiefs will be there come January. Their offense is not in its final form and once Rice/Worthy are back I do think they will have a lot more teeth there. With that said it is hard to be as good as they have been this long without having a down year or two or losing in the playoffs earlier, I do think this is probably their worst roster in a while which still is not saying a lot.

Oh he unfortunately is injury prone, no escaping it at this point. But QBs careers shorten when this is the abuse you take, Luck is a prime example of an elite talent being destroyed to the point he retired because of it. I give Beane a lot of credit for building a solid o line for nearly all of Josh's career and then the same has been there for Mahomes & Lamar too. I think this injury will permanently put Burrow beneath Allen/Mahomes/Lamar as a guy who when healthy is an alpha but that is an issue in itself.

Yep. It is good we have the tie breaker with Baltimore because they have a far easier path to 12-5/13-4 now which probably takes the 1 seed at this moment.

There is a reason Carson Palmer said they would ruin him. Their inability to protect him will end his career far faster then it should which is unfortunate for the game. If it is true he could be back for the last four games of the season though if they can be 6-7 at that point they can still have a shot for the playoffs. That is only 4-7 but their schedule is no joke and they don't have a defense that can win games either.

Hairy Angry Animals 27 Flying Objects 19 The Jets get the ball first and move into the Bills redzone but settle for a FG as the Bills defense has a bend not break type of afternoon. Josh and the offense score TD's on the next two positions with a 30 yard TD to Palmer and Shakir doing his magic breaking a few tackles from 7 yards out. The Jets get a FG before half as Fields is able to escape the pocket and break a 40 yard rush to setup a 50 yard FG making it 14-6 at half time. The Bills get the ball out of half and get into the Jets redzone before a holding call stops a first down run by Davis and the Bills kick a FG to go up 17-6. The Jets get the ball and move down the field with a bunch of runs capped by a Hall TD to close it to 17-13. Josh and the offense return the favor and Davis runs in a TD as the 3rd quarter ends to put the Bills up 24-13. The Jets offense gets a big play from Garrett Wilson on a 40 yard reception to get into the Bills territory and Fields converts a 4th down run to score a TD. The Jets fail on the 2 pt conversion to and the score is 24-19 Bills. The Bills offense runs clock and get into the Jets territory but Praters FG is wide and the Jets get the ball with 7 mins left down by 5. Bosa though forces a sack fumble on Fields and the Bills offense runs the clock before settling for a FG to make it 27-19. The Jets fall on downs and the Bills walk away from a hard earned victory 27-19.

They are a division foe and annoyance but they are not a rival the way I consider Miami, KC, NE, or heck even the Jags who we have lost two different playoff games to and some truly other weird a$$ games. Their fans are just obnoxious as heck more then anything so seeing them down is enjoyable haha, but there hasn't been a major moment with NY while I have been alive which was cut deep by them. The opening losses in 2002 and 2023 stunk but even those again were bad days not McKelvin level pain part of two decades of pain with NE or the hate that builds with Miami when their going. 2023 with Miami was especially enjoyable because it felt like the old days and winning in their house to take the division was soooo sweet. The arrogance that fanbase and their media had going into that finale made it so satisfying to put them back in their place. At no time have I ever had a feeling remotely close to that with NY.

It is why I have stated and stated I want to see where they are come week 11-12ish. That is enough time for the pieces to come together they have added and gel good or bad. It is still not encouraging that this defense any time they play a top offense breaks like an icicle falling but I will give it time and the D-line leaves a lot to like.

Because McD has said it is Babichs calls and unit in the end. Yes McD has a role in scheme etc.. but he has transitioned more into CEO coach like most do and Babich has the majority of the responsibility. I do not disagree that McD has a role and if things go south and Babich goes that McD will also get fire to him for it, but he isn't calling the plays on D at this point so Babich does get more fire.

The hope would be Bishop evolves into a better starter, the defensive line can rotate even more with those two back which means a more rested unit that can be aggressive, and if the CB spot it healthy and good then you can really scheme things away from your weakness at safety. Again that would be the hope.
