I tried to tell people in the offseason lol The pats were an 8 win team last year against an easy schedule that got obscenely lucky with when they ran into certain teams on top of that. Bills in the wind storm, browns and titans when their entire teams were injured. I don’t think they were winning 10 this year even with a qb playing well. That defense seems to really struggle against dual threat qbs…they’ve had no answer for josh Allen, Lamar, or fields

I’m not terribly shocked the Matt Ryan/Russell Wilson experiments haven’t worked out but man the chargers have been disappointing again. Staley is as good as gone. I think the bengals will be bouncing the chargers out of the playoff picture soon Seems like the argument has been ‘you know you’re playing in Miami so prepare better’ but we ran out of healthy guys to substitute due to all the injuries we had. It’s honestly incredible that game was even close. Miami lost a couple offensive linemen for one play and tua for a drive but they were very healthy according to the snap counts.

He’s hurt and benched…it’s ehlingers job to lose going forward even if Matt is healthy. Looks like the era of the pocket passer is coming to a close and they’re desperate for some more mobility

Especially the way it happened too…McKenzie just throwing away 14 pts pretty much and then the chiefs stopping us on another huge 4th down and getting away with an absolutely egregious trip to kill another drive while having quite a few of their drives extended by soft calls on our secondary. In the past we’re used to hearing ‘if you don’t play a perfect game against kc you are going to lose’ but that does not appear to be the case for us anymore

They’ve won in spite of tua in those two games you mentioned…the dolphins defense made every clutch stop possible in both games. The dolphins seem to really struggle putting points on the board despite accumulating massive yardage totals between the 20s

Then their next 4 after that are tough

49ers chiefs could be fun…I’m wondering what that sf defense is able to do against kc

I can see the whole being starved to win a superbowl thing which seems to be where they’re coming from…but imo winning the superbowl in any individual season requires a little bit of luck in addition to a great team (see: bills losing OT coin toss last year) and the best way to get one is to be great over a long period of time. im curious if the rams really nosedive if their fans years from now will say selling out for that one superbowl was worth it.

I still wouldn’t have traded a 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th in 2024 for him even in hindsight if we don’t win a superbowl and they do. We’d have to let some players walk to keep him too they are in danger of going all in on this year and not winning it then being screwed in the future especially because they traded up for Lance also. I still think the eagles and cowboys with Dak are gonna be tough. It’s hard to count out Brady figuring it out too

How many of them played offense? And how many of them that played offense are even relevant? I think that list would just be chase roullier but I could be forgetting someone. Josh got dumped on for his performances against the big schools and there was virtually no other nfl caliber players on offense

Needed a Taron Johnson pick 6 to turn the game around? The game was 10-3 Buffalo at that point. At worst it’s tied if he doesn’t throw that pick

How many games does a team not leave points off the board though…it’s going to happen. Just gotta make enough plays to beat the other guy

Eagles aren’t nearly as good imo…they aren’t beating the cowboys with Dak

Does orchard park really have the infrastructure to host a Super Bowl anyway? I wouldn’t say so

Even more wow lol

Kelce got his because we took Milano off him to spy mahomes…it was really the mahomes/Kelce/hill trio that made it all work. Their receivers honestly made 100% of the tough contested catches in huge spots that game and they still lost. I wouldn’t expect those guys to make nearly that many plays in an average game. I feel pretty confident if we see them again

They can’t shake that ‘winning close games’ stigma though. On paper they’re probably the second best team in the afc but they’ve been good/great on paper for awhile now and it just isn’t translating into wins

I know it tries to but I don’t think it’s doing a good enough job personally when quantifying last season just as an example. Our scheme just didn’t hold up against certain styles of offenses so the fact that we were absolutely stifling bad teams really meant nothing in relation to our performance against good ones. DVOA is maybe useful in speculating on defensive performances in future games but we’re talking about how much help a qb got from his defensive side in games that have already happened so I think PA is a better metric to use in that case. But that’s just my opinion obviously lol

It was the injuries…a team is just not winning a game missing 11 starters. People can parrot the classic ‘injuries are no excuse’ line but there has to be a limit to that way of thinking lol Tua will be back next week

I’d say he’s losing the bet on himself as of this moment

I had to run to the supermarket just before halftime and that’s when our huge 97 yard drive happened lol I got back home for the kc 62 yd fg

Their defense up until this season has been top 10 in points allowed though pretty consistently…idk why people treat yards like it is the end all be all. As far as helping out your qb goes, points allowed is the definitive stat I don’t think I really completely trust DVOA over points allowed in this case…we all saw what happened to buffalos defense when we played great teams last year. Doesn’t seem like they account for quality of opponents enough Id take spagnuolo/the kc defense in a big game over the pre von miller bills defense every single time They were 8th in points allowed per game last season and 10th the season before and 7th the season before that. The only time his defense was bad was the year they won the superbowl ironically. ’he hasn’t had a defense to back him up’ is really just pro mahomes propaganda 🤣.

Looks like Josh’s odds have moved up to +150…wow. Mahomes has dropped to third at +500 with hurts in the 2 slot at +400

Im not sure that’s the game they wanted…if you told anyone we’d have 100+ rushing yards there’s no shot they were picking the chiefs. Chiefs couldn’t run the ball at all on us really despite us playing a good amount of 2 deep safety looks. The game they wanted was to rip off some big runs and force a safety into the box they match up pretty well against us while our offensive line continues to figure stuff out on the fly…Chris jones might be the best player in the league so far this year. It’s not a glamor position but the KC offensive line has been far better than ours so far this season. Factoring all that in I don’t think we fielded a team that was sufficiently better than theirs to the point where we could get outcoached and win

Imagine romo dropping 80k on an exact score bills win 24-20 bet. Not sure if he said the bills would win but he predicted a 24-20 game lol
