I’m not a big fan of how Beane is currently building this team, but we have Josh Allen. This league is more quarterback driven than anyone wants to admit. I don’t think this roster is great, but also don’t see many teams overtaking an Allen led football team. The Fish and Jets have yet to prove anything, but we seem afraid of them every season. I’m not a homer type, but no one in the AFC East has proven anything. I’ll never understand why we always try to crown those guys. We have major flaws that I believe prevent a championship run. That doesn’t mean we aren’t the best in the AFC East.

He’s been mentioned as a possible late round draft choice. I can’t believe they kept taking him out of the game. He does have an extremely weak arm if that Hail Mary attempt was indicative, but seems like an accurate short range passer.

Deion is ridiculous in trying to pad Shadeur’s stats.

I’m fully convinced there’s a major mental element to KC dominating us in the postseason. I don’t think we expect to win. The players and coaches both appear timid and afraid against KC in the postseason. Josh Allen being the major exception of course.

This, I wouldn’t care where I’m drafted, life would be good regardless.

I agree, and if he doesn't, it’s a strange way to send your struggling kicker into the regular season on a potential sour note.

I also think we lack a playmaker on defense to play the ball control game. We don’t have a disruptive pass rusher to close out the game. If KC gets the ball back, I’m quite convinced they’re scoring. Ball control offense puts you in a lot of close games, but we don’t have anyone to close those games out on defense. I’d rather Allen let it fly, and hope to take a big lead while getting the home crowd riled up. I think that’s our more likely path to victory. You’re correct, we’re not sophisticated enough to play that game.

I agree about the KC game, but it still would have come down to one final defensive stop had Bass made the kick. I don’t think that would have happened anyway. Therefore ball control doesn’t do much except decrease the margin for error.

Honestly, ball control offense is a ridiculous idea with Allen as QB to begin with. I grew tired of McD trying to hide his defense last season.

Elam looking quite low effort today, I know it’s not the regular season, but that was awful.

2017-2022 felt like incredibly positive seasons to me. I speak for myself, but whenever I’m negative about the Bills, it’s due to the possibility that Josh Allen becomes the greatest QB of all time to never appear in a Super Bowl. The endless quest for defensive lineman in multiple drafts, and refusal to draft more than one WR a season has left the offense in a tough spot.

The amount of yes answers is ridiculous. Cook might not be a superstar, but he contributes to this team. He’s an important part of this offense, like it or not. A day two draft choice might not even be a starter. Apparently many of us want another corner or defensive lineman.

I think the Steelers made a mistake not drafting another QB this year also. I realize they didn’t great draft position, but teams without a QB should always acquire one in the draft until they find their guy. Going with proven failed QB’s rarely works out.

Exactly, Josh Allen on the 49ers beats KC imo. Instead, he’ll face on uphill battle just to carry his team to the playoffs.

I’m not trying to overreact to the backup QB position, but wow, Trubisky is really bad.

Playoffs? Yes, and we all know why, but legitimate contender? No

I’m actually really excited for this season because the element of mystery. Super Bowl expectations were fun, but there’s an inevitable disappointment with that type of season. People forget that dynasties such as Manning’s Colts and Roethlisberger’s Steelers had down seasons while they retooled. My only fear is how easily those teams drafted playmakers for their QB. We have yet to prove we’re able to do so on a regular basis.

That’s why Trubisky’s a backup.

Tasker being incoherent. I’m quite sure McD planned one quarter for Allen.

He’s only good in space.

We need to clean up those inside pressures this year.

That’s what I want to see from Samuel.

Williams already looks like a guy who makes good choices with the ball.

Yeah, you have to be able to visualize yourself accomplishing the task. Meaning people such as golfers, bowlers, and kickers need to have the mental image/confidence of proper release, follow through and everything else the task entails. Once you start overthinking those things you’re toast.

I’ve grown to enjoy both games equally, but the Winter Olympics are definitely easier to follow. There’s just too much going on during the summer games. A lot of my favorite summer sports don’t get much coverage. I really burn out on the endless swimming coverage during the first week of the summer games. I start to enjoy it more once track and field begins.
