I think we probably had that scenario last year but that avalanche of LB injuries killed us. Aj klein was basically a practice squad level player at best at that stage thrown in to a very important position that we couldn’t hide.

I think the raiders are probably asking for too much trying to capitalize on teams desperation and they’ll likely end up keeping him…seems like that’s usually how these things go down

If they can’t beat the chiefs this year come playoff time might as well blow the whole thing up cuz it’s never gonna happen 😂. They have been whiffing at OT moves for years now and lost two good wrs. Seems like their insane injury luck last year is coming back down to earth and I don’t think you can really punt on a year where the chiefs have holes like that especially if we’re trading for the kind of player we’d pick up in FA next year anyway

If the chiefs had rice/hollywood brown still it might recompute things for me but they’re probably as beatable as they’re ever gonna be and the bengals have dug themselves a huge hole early. ravens with Bernard/t johnson/possibly Milano back should be a lot closer of a game. its mostly wide open imo. Overall, qbs are getting hammered by blitzes at a much higher rate than usual so a lot of our issues so far are being experienced at least to some degree by other teams

I think it does actually…the defense held up pretty well mostly with a ton of scrubs out there I think they’re got a chance to be great when taron returns. also we probably want a sure thing and don’t want to gamble on a rookie at this point and free agency is lookin pretty light on proven outside wrs that are younger than Adams anyway. At this point in both their careers I think Adams is significantly better than Diggs at what we would use him for. Diggs is well rounded but isn’t a huge standout at one particular thing…he’s physical but not super physical, fast but not super fast,good at making contested catches but not great (seemed to tail off as the season progressed in this category) now that he’s start to hit the downswing he’s pretty easy for someone like the chiefs to completely lock down without doubling with their suspiciously grabby and not often penalized db coverage 🤣 I probably wouldn’t do it for just a half year rental but if he wanted to hang around a few years I’d give it a serious look

There’s no way we’re sending a player lol. I think people just wildly guess at trade predictions and then if they’re right by some dumb luck they get more followers thinking they’re legit

Yea they have no reason not to do that…worst that happens is they get ‘stuck’ with a great player lol

Dang we should try to hire him away from the jets who knows what he could do in Buffalo 🤣

Yea like I’m just educated guessing here based on the tweets and rumors at this point but I think he would’ve left some money on the table to come to Buffalo so it was basically a done deal in his mind then we decided no thanks and he was like wait what 😂 I don’t think you just randomly post ‘buffalo soldier’ personally but there’s no way to know for sure haha

All that definitely applies to just Josh too…a common theme in these bad games is he usually watches the defense get smoked early and tries to press a bunch, then the defense settles down a bit and he settles down a bit Baltimore was similar, the first half of Tampa a couple years back was similar, cincy playoff game was similar, there’s probably more but those immediately jump to mind 🤣

This is from nfl analyst rumors so I’d def take it with a grain of salt but at the end of the day WE decided we didn’t want hopkins apparently not the other way around. He probably was very surprised by that and thought him wanting to go to Buffalo was the only part of the equation (if it’s true of course 😂) breer basically said we were worried how Diggs would take it if Hopkins took some of his touches so Hopkins is likely proof that social media stuff can matter actually

I really do think Hopkins wanted to end up on the bills though so idk if that one is super irrelevant 🤣 beane just wasn’t gonna overpay and the titans did they were were worried they’d upset the flow of their offense aka diggs if they made that trade haha according to Albert Breer. No idea if that’s true but it is not an issue anymore lol

I think his injured hand is makin it tough to really sell the play action for some reason…probably the oline not being great too

Cam Lewis plays in the dime a lot right? I don’t think I’ve payed enough attention to it but if he was as bad at being the extra db in dime as he is at nickel corner I’d hope he wouldn’t be here 🤣

The more I think about this game the more it feels like it’s got all the makings of a surprise over hit when everyone expected no points to be scored 😂. Was literally gonna pick your exact score but I’ll go: bills:24 jets:20

I don’t think there’s one predictable ‘this always goes wrong’ issue when he has bad games. He threw a few balls with too much anticipation I’d say in quite a few ints last year where dbs easily baited him into a read, sometimes he bails pockets early cuz he loses confidence in his blocking, sometimes he passes up underneath stuff, sometimes he just can’t hit a throw in the intermediate-long ish range, sometimes he’ll take a huge sack waiting for a route to just about come open. I think one consistent issue is on the total ‘air it out’ type throws where he’s throwing it out there nearly as far as he can. He usually hits those 20-30ish yard lasers that we watched him miss a bunch of in that Texans game though. That game felt like a perfect storm of a lot of those things going wrong They don’t seem to be route adjusting the exact way he’s expecting all the time…not that that excuses plenty of throws he just flat out missed in that one it’s just an additive thing that made it even worse 🤣

Probably a higher minor injury total but that right elbow injury on his throwing arm was absolutely the worst. That was like borderline ‘can’t play through it’

That’s not really what I said, dumping more on the coach that is the only one doing his job and pulling his focus away could make the team worse and making a change that could very much make the team worse in the short term when you have aaron rodgers in the twilight of his career doesn’t make sense to me. you don’t see it that way and that’s totally cool too. We’ll have to wait and see how it plays out Yea of course the defense wasn’t happy that’s exactly what I’m saying lol. They wanted the offense to pull its weight so canning the defensive head coach a lot of them seem to really like probably had them very confused especially if he was going to do this same offensive playcalling move that ulbricht just did. Sauce was quoted as saying ‘If I’m being honest we’re doing this for him[Saleh] still…he changed my life’ so I don’t really believe this notion that everyone’s happy to see him go

The one game being the last meeting seems relevant though to be fair haha. I watch enough jets football for it to classify as torture and that defense doesn’t look quite as great to me this year as years past…the dline play has been pretty bad. Corners are extremely good outside but nickel corner seems gettable even if Carter plays and the safety play has been meh. statistically they’ve faced three even worse offenses than us believe it or not so it’s masking some issues if you just look at stats. I don’t think the Darnold Vikings offense will be any better than ours when the dust settles either even if we are as bad as everyone is guessing They’ve actually faced a lot of good defenses though and Morgan Moses will be back replacing fashanu (who looks really bad so far) so I think this game is a pretty sneaky ‘the offenses play better than anyone expects’ type game

You probably would if it came to that but I don’t see a world where it comes to that 😂. That wouldn’t move the needle for the raiders at all

It’s so crazy that that is somehow not an excuse for losing a close game to a very healthy chiefs team lol. Injuries are no excuse sure but within reason. If the chiefs were the team that lost enough linebackers that aj klein got 98% of the linebacker snaps over Bolton they would’ve gotten boatraced

He was looking really good before the knee injury but the way it went down I’d agree. I think he had 8 sacks in like 10 games in that season I’ve gotta doublecheck obviously the DV suspension is all on him haha can’t blame the injury gods for that one can’t remember if we had any interest the year the rams traded for him but the cruel irony of all this is if we grabbed him mid season in 2021 I think we win the Super Bowl. He was great for the rams and looked just as good for us pre acl injury Yea this is not a flat bust situation where he underwhelmed with us pre injury. He was great in the playoffs with the rams and picked up right where he left off with us.. I remember people being very concerned when he was out and our pass rush fell off a cliff if memory serves

Yea I remember us all saying all the same things we are now leading up to that second matchup because it was coming right on the heels of that broncos loss and we roughed them up. Granted their qb was Zach Wilson but still haha he had beaten us before. im still pretty peeved by that obvious block in the back on their punt return in that week 1 game but I guess it wouldn’t have changed much as we lost a home playoff game anyway

I still think about that peterman game from time to time 🤣. It’s so funny cuz the offense was actually moving the ball the first couple plays and I believe the first pick was an unlucky-ish tipped ball or something like that and then it just snowballed out of control lol after the first two picks(one being a pick six) the game was only 7-7 somehow. Chargers missed a fg after that second pick

It does seem uneccessarily semantic argument-like in here after games like that lol at the end of the day no matter what was who’s fault josh had a handful of plays he flat out missed that could’ve swung the game and he’s getting the big paychecks. Things are makin his life harder sure but he’d be the first to admit he could’ve won that one by just playing better on his own
