Reading was just fine. You were the one who stated someone was a blowhard and used that as a point of emphasis to back up your opinion. Logic would easily conclude you have the same feeling of said blowhard. Maybe a writing course would work for you. Get it? Got it? Good.

So, what I take from this is you share the same opinion of a blowhard. Got it.

Yea. The guys on this roster have never faced any real adversity. Good call. 🙄

Has Mike White played again since Milano rearranged his spine or is he now content to just wear a headset and pray Tua stays healthy?

That defense will keep them in every game. Those RBs will move the chains. Garrett Wilson will help Zach Wilson on some plays. While losing Rodgers obviously hurts, it allows them to get away for 3 WR sets and lean into a more conservative offensive style...which may be what they are stronger at anyway.

Oh, he's about to find out.....

I believe everytime Allen has had a bad game he was concussed. Only logical explanation.

Raiders have an offense. Adams, Jacobs and if he's cleared from concussion protocol Myers are all good players. Renfrow is lurking there as well and as bad a HC as he can be, Josh McDaniels can call a good game. Jimmy G can do just enough. Their defense isn't horrible. It's not great, but not horrible and it gets better for them if they take Chandler Jones off double secret probation and allow him to play. But after facing a great Jet defense it's a much easier task at home this week. I have the Bills winning this one: 33-20

I swear there is no fan base and media in the entire NFL that gets so delusional so fast as the Raiders.

Belichick also thought Matt Patricia would make a great offensive coordinator and Joe Judge would be great as a QB coach. Maybe tap the breaks on Bill's opinion on this topic.

You get targets by getting open. Davis does not get open consistently enough. If you can't create space as a WR you need to be good at winning contested catches. He is not. So that's 2 reasons why he doesn't get targets.

I'll say this. The gameplan seemed to be short quick passes. That isn't Gabe's wheelhouse. He cannot seem to get open quick and short. I would be interested to see what percentage of his routes were short/intermediate/long. If I have time today I may dive into that. I'm expecting him to put up his yearly "flashy numbers" game this week or next against Vegas or Washington. That "glimmer of hope game" against secondaries that can be prone to get beat deep.

Last week my picks were: Buy: Sherfield Sell: Poyer Hold: Rapp I'm going in a couple other directions this week. BUY: Gabe Davis. For this week. Davis has a knack for feasting on weaker defenses. I see him having a nice game (4 catch 85yards 1TD area) and putting up something against the Raiders D. Sell: Rapp as a LBer. I like Rapp. He brings a lot. However this week we are going up against a team with one of the better power RBs in the NFL. This isn't the week to line him up at MLB. He'll look like a speed bump. I'd activate Kirksey and work in in against any 13 personal. HOLD: Bernard. He played 110 snaps last year on defense. He missed a chunk of time in TC and all 3 PS games. Yet, stepped right in to live bullets and....while he wasn't spectacular he didn't pee down his leg either. I can see him getting better as the season goes on.

Jakobi Myers is in the concussion protocol as well. That's the injury I'm watching from Vegas. That and Chandler Jones status as the week goes on.

Gabe Davis....tick tock...contract season is here. Step up or step out.

Yeah, well a lot of that is going to be lost to taxes so, F that guy.

He did get bull rushed back a couple times that I saw, most noticably on the same early play Spencer Brown got dog walked into Allen's lap. But that will happen to most OL playing against that Jet front 4. The important thing to me is he settled in and held his own after and showed really well. Didn't get discouraged that he was being beat early and anchored well in the run and pass as time went on.

Oh FFS, here we go again

Funny you say that right after I read this article. It discusses defending Mahomes but applies to Allen as well. The NFL is ever evolving. Now the style is big armed QBs and explosive fast WRs. So defenses will adjust and that that away. What's the next evolution? Teams have across the league gone to lighter, faster coverage LBers to help. I think the answer to help Allen is to have a consistent reliable ground game to take advantage, make teams defend it and take advantage where they can through the air in spots. A guy like KC has with Pacheco. Not flashy but can take advantage of a light box and deal punishment. Scheme guys open underneath and get those valuable RAC yards. "It's high risk, throwing the ball all the way down the field, maybe in double coverage or if it's 40 yards in the air," Steelers quarterback Mitch Trubisky said. "Rather, (you can) throw it five yards and let that guy run the rest of the way, so the run after catch has been a huge emphasis ...You see the really good teams who are scoring a lot of points. They're not necessarily always throwing it deep. They're throwing it underneath and letting the guy run the rest of the way." This quote by Trubisky illustrates in my mind why a guy like Tua is lighting up scoreboards and stat boxes, while QBs like Allen and Herbert are hit and miss. Must be nice to have a coach that can be ahead of offensive trends.

I know I'm in the minority, but I'm in favor of Buffalo running more in general. Not talking being a ground and pound team by any means...but going from 80/20 pass to run ratio to 65/35ish would help limit opportunity for Allen to turn the ball over.

You and me both. Hopefully, the team does too. This week will tell us a LOT about what we are in store for the rest of this year IMO.

We're on to the Raiders. Time to go 1-0 this week.

Matty Ice thinks it's too soon still🤣🤣
