Game Thread: Divisional weekend

[Dr. Strangelove]

Bills really needed that drive. Looking like this will be a good game.

Guess it depends how healthy Mahomes is. If I was thinking Mahomes looks like he did yesterday, I'd be wanting the Bills and pray for turnover variance. The Chiefs are a very, very good football team themselves.

Lol... yes, I'm aware.

It’s a complete joy watching the fruits of what Jeff Stoudtland puts together. For my money, he’s the best OL coach in football.

Eagles have by a mile the best OL in Football IMO. Whether that’s the players, coaches or both I don’t really know. It’s the main reason they won with a backup QB and the main reason they are one of the favorites this year. Every year I hope Kelce retires

But doesn't "locking down" the QB mean spending too much of your cap on him to stay good?

That's when drafting comes into the equation. Management in football is far more impactful than in other sports.

Hurst has caught a TD, so now you claim he is the second best TE in football.

Go, Gamecock!

Not if the Bills defense keeps being shitty

Only if that QB is Kirk cousins, Jared Goff, etc

Burrow just looks like he's flicking the ball and it goes 20 yard

Agreed, and coaching too. The teams are so large and the roles so specialized that putting the team together and managing it is more important than the individual players themselves. That's why good QBs look pretty terrible in different situations (Wilson on the Broncos) and why the NFL players union is so weak compared to other sports.

This guy Stoudtland is just the tits. He was also with Saban in 2012 when Alabama had that exceptional OL that just mauled people. Mailotta was a 7th round pick who had never played football before. He was a Chip Kelly hire. He was retained by Pederson and then by Sirianni. Everybody talks about how important the trenches are in the NFL but the Eagles really embrace that better than most.

Cinci is racking up 1st downs at will on this defense

Minshew made the eagles look very beatable.

Don't disrespect Goff, Lions probably win that division next year.

Benagls O is making it look easy.

We will never respect that playaction merchant, tbh. I will continue hating.


With that being said. Lions win the division next year.

 

[fightinfunbags]

That’s grounding.

isnt SF so good due to their resent drafting

its easier to build around a maholmes than having a game manager cause u dont need allstars everywhere

Chicken or the egg? Isn't the Bengals OL banged up?

 

[Jordan23]

Eagles, bills, Bengals, and chiefs are all same tier for me.

More teams in that tier or were you just listing current afc teams with eagles?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Burrow and the passcatchers are very good. If you can't make Burrow hold the ball and receivers win quick, the OL doesn't matter.
