Cam despises Josh and everyone can see it lol I think it’s a jealousy thing

They’ve been pretty quiet this year lol

True but theres not wanting Josh and there’s ’if Josh is good the bills will have outsmarted every human and math itself’ 😂.

Not covering the spread does not equal losing.

Yea past demons vs kc aside they are the better matchup for us compared to Baltimore imo. Baltimore going out to kc and getting knocked out is a pretty decent spot

I think I’d rather Steelers win to keep Baltimore in a wildcard spot then they likely finish 5 or 6 and go out to kc round 2 not that pit is a pushover but something like Denver - Pit - KC/Bal doesn’t seem like too bad of a path

While we’re entertaining unlikely scenarios there’s a chance that we’re the 1 seed and kc has cincy in the first round 😂

I don’t even think teams are considering that possibility tbh…Denver would have to lose out (this is the one fairly likely part),cincy would have to win out, and one of Indy and miami can’t win out against TEN,NYG,JAX(Indy) / SF,CLE,NYJ (Miami) even if cincy wins out I think Indy winning out is gonna keep them out

Indy finishes with titans giants jags so even if the bengals win out and Denver loses out it’s still gonna take some luck for cincy. Three way tie at 9-8 makes that Indy vs Denver h2h irrelevant miami would jump them too if they won out. Cincys conference record is terrible right now

Idk his first year here he was great then after the injury our pass rush imploded the rest of the season

Probably just trying to minimize how truly awful the giants looked against him 😂 the 34-3 argument doesn’t put him head and shoulders above Josh’s td-turnover output idk why people keep getting caught up in that. I haven’t looked at it in a little bit so I might be slightly off here but I believe they have the same amount of total tds and Lamar actually has one more total turnover. He’s got 5 lost fumbles I think to Josh’s 2

Von’s got a better than solid pressure rate imo and when he gets pressure it happens very quickly. I’m not sure id have to look too hard to find him impacting a game in a big moment. Obviously his time so far has been disappointing with the injury then the useless 2023 so he’s gotta really apply the wow factor to get back in people’s good graces that is totally understandable. I think he’s been good but not special so far this year which is a monumental improvement over last year limited sample size but what looks like it’s holding Solomon back is losing the edge on runs.

Not saying your overall analysis is wrong by any means but the injury derailed everything so it’s tough to assign full blame for the thought process behind the signing imo. We were likely a top flight pass rusher away and with the start he had it was looking like Von was gonna be just that. I can see why beane pulled the trigger on it, heck if we beat out the rams for that midseason von trade the year before yea it would’ve lost us some resources long term but I think there’s a very good chance it would’ve been us holding the trophy. If anything I think beanes biggest regret is not grabbing him sooner. He was a beast for LA in that superbowl run

That’s without a doubt a little too high for them at minimum because the ESPN score is absolutely ridiculous haha but I think Thuney/Humphrey and to a lesser extent Smith cancel out the bad tackles and get them ranked pretty high in metrics like this. it’s easier to see what’s not working well but Humphrey and Thuney are probably the best pass blockers at their position in the league and Trey smith is definitely good too. I don’t dig into kc a ton despite watching the games but I wonder if some of the issue is Reid scheming up plays that don’t give his tackles a lot of help. Most teams with a weak link or two on the OL do a lot to help at least one of those guys out. Usually when it’s noticeable I’ll see a maxx Crosby type just destroying them coming off the edge one on one.

Aliens have lost a step

This probably works both ways…you shouldn’t assume the receivers are bad/mediocre just because of stats either … there are just so many guys to throw the ball to on this team that are a threat to do something with it which is likely exactly what frustrated Diggs in the first place lol not trying to say anyone is right or wrong but individual stats aren’t super meaningful for this group…you’ve probably gotta dig into the film for each of these guys.. there’s only so many passing yards to go around and if this group really wasn’t cutting it teams would probably not be giving us these good rb/te matchups in the passing game we’ve been getting

Yea it’s tough credit-wise when you’ve got a josh Allen type extending plays. Even on some of these extended plays it seems like the oline has things locked down though but then it all gets attributed to Josh the pass blocking I could see people saying Josh is making look a bit better than it is but the run blocking has been great

He had a rough rams game so maybe this is a recent memory type thing working against him lol granted mostly everyone had a rough rams game 😂

That was a really interesting kick, relying on the kicker to time up a hit perfectly. I wonder if it’s common for teams not to have their best hands guys in that spot

Yea I think it was a mix of both…he missed some throws but it could’ve come down partially to guys not bein exactly where he expected in extended play situations that third down play to force ot to a wide open Samuel looked like a straight up miss and that was a biggie…I’m sure there were others.. even with the tough coverage I’m sure he could’ve played better but I don’t think it was quite as bad as the stat sheet looked

Levi Wallace/dane Jackson starting at corner against the peak offense chiefs is wild…idk why that doesn’t get talked about much. Chiefs lost mathieu eventually too which opened the floodgates for both teams. Sorensen was straight up a** lol I don’t know that I’ve seen a worse game from a safety

That really felt like one of the more one sided officiating days I’ve seen. That late hold getting called on the shotput td was pretty clearly to extend the game

That’s just how he walks 😂 Saul can correct me if I’m wrong but I feel like the last time this happened he looked noticeably hobbled in the games…he still won so nobody noticed maybe but I doubt he would go to that length for an incremental increase in personal glory 😂

In a vacuum these dudes are crazy close statistically it’s honestly kind of freaky haha afc championship mahomes was definitely objectively better obviously. The next two games were crazy close. OT game pretty much the only statistical difference was the extra OT drive for mahomes. Last year mahomes was probably a little better on paper but that bills defense rolling with aj klein due to a crazy amount of LB injuries was probably a much easier path. I’m all for the ‘find a way to win’ attitude when you’re talkin about just playoff wins but if you’re comparing qb performances I feel like that sort of stuff is relevant Just cuz they win anyway doesn’t mean it isn’t affecting him to be fair. This year they built up a pretty decent cushion hanging on in those games so they’ve at least got the option to sit him should they want it.

This touched on a few fun ongoing bills fans vs bills fans debates haha I think a mediocre qb would be terrible on either team personally. Josh is making the pass blocking look a lot better than it is, I think it’s ok but nothing particularly special. The run blocking has been pretty legit though but that’s pretty easy for a defense to load up against if the qb is just average its harder for mahomes to make the pass blocking look better than it is because the tackles are bad and the strength is in the interior. Teams just seem like they don’t have a whole lot of trouble collapsing the pocket while clogging up the middle of the field and limiting his options
