Expand I understand what you are saying, and last year your comments would certainly have been appropriate, but look at the year before! We humiliated NE in perhaps one of BB's worst playoff defeats (has to be NO. 1 the more I think about it) and then BEAT the Chiefs in their building to go to the AFC Championship Game....only for our coaching staff to gift the victory back to KC. Very nice of them. We have been inconsistent in the playoffs. The year we beat Baltimore and Indy we looked pretty good too, though we obviously haven't gotten far enough. This year will be a big test IMO. It's been long enough now that another single win and then OUT in the playoffs should have some people wondering if this group of coaches is going to get it done...or if their plan is working...like completely ignoring Josh's weapons, prioritizing D, and band-aiding the OL. 1 Quote

Pegula has been around now long enough, with both teams, to have an idea of how he works. He can be unpredictable! He fired Darcy Regier shortly after giving him a big K extension; so that means nothing with the recent Bills' extensions. He fired Lindy Ruff when many viewed him as untouchable, though his time had come. And then, it sounds like as the result of a single meeting that perhaps got heated, just like that, he fired his HC in Rex Ryan with a game left in the season! When Pegula decides it's time for you to go, you're going to go. He has no problem pulling the trigger. How he feels about McDermott and what his patience timeline with him is, only Terry knows. I've been saying that for at least 3 years now, long before anyone else around here was even considering this. Most people here are homers and have assumed for quite a while that McDermott will lead us to a Dynasty of SB wins. I have always been a bit more cautious. 1 Quote

Rarely does a rookie TE have a significant impact in his rookie season. Remember Kincaid is a liabilty blocking and who knows what Dorsey can scheme. Expand Sam Monson of PFF was on WGR yesterday and talked about this. He spoke how Kelce goes to a place on the field but the route he takes intentionally draws the defender away so by the time he is there it opens more space. He said with Kincaid he already does this and IF Buffalo uses him as a catcher not blocker his production could be far more then the normal TE. Again this also is relying on Dorsey taking a step as an OC, but it was encouraging to hear. If you want to listen to his piece it was at 5pm yesterday with Bulldog, quite good analysis. On 7/12/2023 at 2:19 PM, Pine Barrens Mafia said: Five Words: Kyle Shanahan versus Sean McDermott Expand Agreed. Although I am a little surprised Shanahan gets such a pass with the SB losses where he directly was responsible for play calls that cost ATL and SF. I get he is a wonderkid to many, but I personally think McVay is better. Quote

I CAN'T WAIT for that game. I hope Josh plays his best game to date! Expand This game is going to be hyped off the charts. NY media, national media, Jets fans, Bills fans. Allen vs Rodgers. The past few seasons' Bills fans took over MetLife to where the crowd was 50-50 or close to it. For most Jets games the upper deck is maybe half-filled at best except for the divisional games or a team with strong national following. That first game at MetLife with Rodgers will not only be packed but I doubt Jets fans sell their tickets for this one. There will be some blue in the stands but nothing close to half the crowd.

Expand What is interesting to me is so many people see him doing a Manning type comeback DEN in NY. Thing no one is mentioning is Peyton was 4 years younger with a full year of recovery when he came to DEN. Rodgers is already coming off some injuries and walking in 4 years older which matters. I still think Rodgers can easily elevate the Jets to a playoff team and if he can get back to being top 10 a SB contender. Their QB play has been just so bad for a long time while having a good defense for a bit that even just adequate makes them a possible playoff squad. Rodgers does take good care of his body so could he return to an MVP level? Maybe, but I think above average is more likely which still is big. Quote
Mr. WEO Posted July 12, 2023 Posted July 12, 2023 ARZ--why on earth would they pay and then not play Murray? CAR--who are the "quite a few QBs" Reich has "worked magic on"? He had Luck, Brissett, Wentz, Rivers and Ryan. Bryce young is a talent, but he is legit tiny. DAL--tunrs out, firing Moore was a dumb idea. DEN-- I think Broncos have a much better year. KC--Kelce don't look injured to me. And why does Mahomes need "a #1WR"? Everyone predicted doom after the tossed Hill. Of course, without him, the Chief's Offense improved to #1 over all, in points scored and passing (and another Lombardi). They already answered that question. Quote
