Titans: Whatever. I'll never be impressed with them, no matter what they do. 

 

You are in good company on this board. I spent the offseason arguing against people who were certain the Titans would fall back and miss the playoffs. Being in a division with Houston and Jacksonville helps, but they have beaten a lot of good teams and have a lot of good players.

Let’s face it without Josh this team is second/third in the AFC East 

 

Where would the Packers be without Rodgers or the Chiefs without Mahomes? The Pats wouldn't have come close to being a dynasty without Brady.

Take JA out of the equation and what are you left with?

 

This is the modern NFL. That argument no longer makes sense considering many teams use this as an added dimension to their offense now.

 

Stop fighting the urge to go back to the 70s run game and embrace it.

Packers are loaded at almost every position, which is why it's nuts that Rodgers would want to leave there. Not only that but they're about to get a very good WR (Cobb) both starting tackles, their best OLB, and a starting corner back, and maybe their starting center. They've played most of the season without all those guys on the field at once. 

 

Chiefs though are very top heavy with a handful of amazing players and a lot of whoevers.

The Titans are the team I fear the most.

"Hi Robert, Bills fan coming to your doorstep in peace. Jets have a great future. Just want to tell you Bills fans are deluded and make fun of me on our boards. You see the Bills are actually not that good, they are just homers. Weather splits, domes, run game efficiency, play calling, slippery rubber mats, I could go on and on Bob..."

 

 

 

 

 

 

And you seem to.

I think it's good for today's NFL. Line play overall is mediocre to bad league-wide. 

 

 

 

Nah, sorry I still can't get there. It has been bad for 3/4s of the season even by NFL standards. The last month it has got somewhere close to average, but no way is it good.

Why in the world would you take JA out of the equation?  He is a legitimate weapon in the running game.  You're dealing with a bias towards only looking at RBs, which skews your analysis.

That's OK, we can agree to disagree on that. I think Dawkins is starting to finally get back into form after going through a bad case of Covid, and that is also helping, as is our rookie RT getting more settled in. 

 

I would say the Bills OL is NFL average, maybe a touch above when everyone is healthy and in the right spots.

On Monday, Saleh reflected on his first season with the Jets and touched on one interesting topic: Who is the best team he faced in his first year in charge?

His choice was the Bills.

“They all present different challenges, right? Buffalo is probably the most complete team when you look quarterback, run game, pass game, their defense is ridiculous,” Saleh said via The Michael Kay Show. “I’d probably say Buffalo. They’re complete. They’ve got everything, heck of a coaching staff. They’re sound, they’re explosive. Really, really, talented group.”

 

He knew that already from facing Bills last year with 49ers except RB got a bit better.

The glaring weakness on the Bills is the Oline.  Any team with a stout front four will give and has given Buffalo fits this season.  The Bills will go as far as the Bills Oline lets them.  It really is that simple.  They play well, deep playoff run, they play poorly, Josh and Motor play poorly and the run will be short.  The D will keep them in games.  Can the Oline?

Nice compliment but the games are won on the field. The Bills have not always played up to their talent and have a couple of glaring weaknesses in their run game and stopping the run when they play bigger, physical teams. 

Quit being Homers. He’s absolutely right.  From a football standpoint OP is on the money.

that being said…
