Yeah I need a road map for these things myself many times.

The Chargers social media team likes anime social media videos. https://www.chargers.com/video/chargers-anime-schedule-release-2023-edition They troll each of their opponents (usually in a fairly classy way) based on the previous season. So for the Titans, they show Derrick Henry being rebuilt as part cyborg, they show Dallas throwing Dak Prescott under the bus etc. The Bills (1:37 or so in there) shows Von Miller, Josh, and Poyer (I think) standing in front of a burning console with the Bills 4 Superbowl appearances on it and "Burn It All" (what Von said before the season), then Diggs standing off at a distance watching. So the Bills social media team was trolling them back

I understand different folks have different viewpoints, but I had a little look and I didn't see you expressing this view last week after the Cowboys game. Can it be you're a bit of a...Weather Vane?

Heh.

In other words, you have a dogmatic religious belief on this topic?

Indeed

Needs to hold onto the rock better first. Sleep with the damned thing or carry it around with you, Cookie.

From Hero to Zero in 60 damned minutes. Let's hope he was suffering lingering effects from his mid-week illness.

He’s on IR

OK - well, who do you see on the team as a top talent? Allen, obviously Diggs but he's been kind of invisible the last 5 games for whatever reason Kincaid is coming along nicely but not quite there yet, top defenders can still blank him That could have been a breakout game for Cook, we'll see We don't have a "dynamic duo" at WR like Hill and Waddle with a dynamic RB pair like Achane and Mostert. We don't have a 'terrific trio" like Chase, Higgins, and Boyd or AJ Brown, Devonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert. We don't have a ''quality quartet" like Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and George Kittle. On the defense - Oliver Floyd Rousseau But I think they would be regarded as 2nd tier relative to TJ Watt, Khalil Mack, Maxx Crosby, Trey Hendrickson, Josh Allen, Chris Jones, one of the Bosa bros. We have aging talent at safety and no-names at CB right now I don't have to agree with his opinion, but objectively I can see where he's coming from. I think actually Cosell's credibility should increase, not because you agree with him, but because people question whether OBLive is just homers and rose-colored glasses. The fact that Cosell feels comfortable coming on there and giving his frank opinion even if it's negative should speak to that.

Let 'em chirp. Save their receipts. Correct

Exactly. So that's why it's not quite a game plan that "Kyle Allen could have delivered".

This is weird

Well, not quite. You note it yourself in your next sentence. One of the reasons why Dallas struggled to cope with that power run stuff, is that 1) their attention was divided between Cook and Josh....you could see it on several plays, they were worried about what Josh could do to them as a runner, OR, 2) if they threw all their chips into stopping the run, they feared the Josh Allen Air Show.

Goodness.

I think they're pretty much as good as their record. They've had two losses that were inexplicable to me at the time, but it turns out the Colts are an up-and-coming team and they're a division team for the Steelers who always play them tough. They split with the Browns. Going to be very interested to see the 49ers game. That will be touted as a possible Superbowl preview.

If we told you that, @Simon would have to kill ya. But I see that you joined on Sept 29, so you haven't quite been here for 3 months, amirite? I'm thinking "new Year, new Threads" for ya (*nudge nudge wink wink*)

"Mostly" for values of 1 page (a dozen posts or so) out of 12+, including this? If you want more Bills/Chargers content, why don't you add some instead of adding to the Dallas/Miami discussion?

FIFY See above

Josh gave them customized golf clubs a couple years ago and customized golf scooters (last year I think). That's how I took it, for what it's worth. I'm currently not drunk.

Good points. The added point, is "speed". They've got 2 top-10 backs in YPG, but that's not the meat-and-potatoes 3-4 ypc. It's "miss me and it's shoe soles for you!" long runs. If these guys are still hindered by injuries, that's not as effective. But, Dallas is missing their NT

So to this point: Miami has a coach who is a disciple of Kyle Shanahan. The Cowboys haven't beaten the 49ers since 2020, and this season the 9'ers kicked Dallas in the teeth and took their lunch money. Coaching advantage: Miami, we agree there. And, Dallas may still be missing its NT on D and 2 OL on offense. Would you really call Miami's run offense "really good"? They had a 5 game stretch earlier in the season where they were just running all over teams - the Patriots, Broncos, Giants, and Panthers. 222 yds, 350 yds - but I think that was against teams that had given up. They gained 142 yds against us and it didn't matter. But they've also had games where they haven't broken double digits -Eagles, 2nd Patriots, Raiders, 2nd Jets. 117 vs KC. A lot of that seems to depend on whether or not they are missing Achane? He played against Denver, Buffalo, and the Giants - the huge games. Got hurt. He's been back for 3 games, but he doesn't look as explosive. He's been on the injury report with different body parts - knee, ribs, now toe. DNP and LP so far this week. Mostert has also been on and off this injury report. This week is "on", with two DNPs. So I'm not sure the Dolphins have a really good run offense right now. They ran for 77 yds against the Jets, and if the Jets had an actual offense, they could have been in trouble. I would say they have an up-and-down run offense that depends on the health of their backs. I could see this game going either way. Dallas could "Cowboy up" and set out to prove that last week was a total fluke. They're a coin-flip road team, but Miami, 77 degrees, and possible light shower is a far cry from Orchard Park, 40 degrees, and raining steadily. Or Mike McDaniel could prove he's Shanahan's disciple and successfully kick (fin-slap?) the Cowboys while they're down. Frankly, I'm not sure he has the healthy horses to do that last, but, we'll see.

*looks at Miami schedule* point taken

He was on the board when we drafted Justin Shorter. And if anyone tells me they were beating the drum for him prior to the draft, Imma here to tell 'em they fibbing
