Watching USC's mens basketball. Isaiah Collier looking good.

In 11 minutes he has 10 points and 4 assists.

Why in the hell didn’t the Jets go get Dobbs from the Cardinals weeks ago?

Dolphins have an easy 5 game stretch coming up but the end of their season is brutal- Cowboys, Ravens, Bills.

I think that will bea team the Browns are competing with for a wild card.

I think the Bills will win that division- but who knows- Bills have had a lot of injuries pile up of important players.

FIFY

I don't think all the needy teams knew he was on the block, but they really should've pursued him. I think the whole Dobbs benching thing was because they had this trade already in the works before the deadline. With Kyler's return looming (he needs to be activated this week as his 21 day window will end otherwise), the signs were there.

Bills have not been inspiring since that win vs Miami. Someone (OC, head coach, QB) needs to step up and demand better from the offense. Seems to be a lot of mixed messages as to what their objectives are from the staff. They need to take the restrictor plate off of Josh with the understanding that he has to value the ball.

As far as defense, there's not a lot they can do. Adding Linval Joseph and Rasul Douglas should help, but LB is going to continue to be a problem if they don't trust rookie Dorian Williams to step up. He's looked good in spots, but then they bench him for a mistake in favor of Dodson, who's meh at best (and now banged up as well). They need that bye week, but that's not coming until week 13. Maybe that allows them to make a strong final push after that.

Miami gets Achane back after this week's bye, which should spark the offense.

Haven't beaten a team with a winning record since week 3 of 2022 (and that was heat stroke game in Miami vs the Bills). They're in the running, sure. A lot of questions though.

They dont need to with their schedule and the bills usually play down to their competition as we saw with the pats

They likely run off 5 in a row against their upcoming schedule before the 3 challenging games to end the year but the difference is they finally get good teams at homes. My guess is they win at least 1 of those home games vs dallas and Buffalo while losing to the ravens which means they end up 12-5

Bills got 3 challenging road games left (eagles, chiefs, and fins) and i think they lose 2 of those. They also get dallas at home and play the chargers as as a neutral site game in sofi. They smell like a 10-7 team....11-6 best case scenario

Could easily be 9-8 (losing one of 2 vs the Jets) and as noted haven't beaten a team with a winning record in over a year.

I get it. You riding for your team so doesn't make sense on having this convo with you.

Anyone who look at the Dolphins remaining schedule and think 9-8 is possible is delusional

9-8 is much more possible for the bills

Look at their recent history with essentially the same team. Lost 1 of 2 to the Jets last year, haven't won vs a winning team in over a year. I'm projecting a continuation of what they've been.

I have no idea what to project for the Bills, as they are shorthanded defensively and confused at best offensively.
