NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[DJ Fieri]

They just signed Flacco.

I said they should. He could start in a week or 2 with a scaled back playbook. He a better option than DTR IMO.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Did they release Walker?

 

[shopson67]

It was a freak accident but even with Purdy Buffalo had a better chance to beat SF than the top AFC teams.

Besides, even without Miller this year, the Bills are 2nd in the league in sacks I believe? It was mentioned during the Jets game yesterday,

 

[DJ Fieri]

We shall see. Andy's really good after a bye week...

He sure is

 

[Shanemansj13]

They won't go 4-3 with DTR at QB...they beat a Steelers team with Pickett at QB. Noy like they beat some juggernaut.

Not a juggernaut but they were 6-3 whether you like it or not. They beat Baltimore and rivalry games are always tough.
DTR only attempted maybe a couple passes over 10 yards. He definitely looked better. I counted like 6-7 drops at least. He could have easily went 30-43 but he still is a big work in progress. Good they signed Flacco to at least have a veteran who can step in and make throws. Every game is going to be close with this QB room but that also means they will likely be in every game

We were talking last year when the Bills pass rush died when Miller went out.

Do what you want but Lamar already has struggled in the playoffs throughout his career. I don’t see him changing that narrative without his security blanket. His passing metrics plummet when Andrews isn’t available.

Funny how Lamar gets flack for this but Mahomes gets excused when Kelce is out.

 

[Shanemansj13]

it hurts yes, but I’m not mailing it in. What we are going to see is if Jackson can actually learn to throw to wide receivers. Let’s give it a couple weeks.

Been waiting for 6 years. They will win the division but for Lamar it always comes down to the playoffs. He needs to prove himself on that stage. Nothing else matters

Denver has won 4 straight and is playing some good ball right now.

Doubt Flacco is needed that soon but it's possible he could get in if DTR struggles.

OK, sure.

There were lots of factors with the Bills late last year, including that whole Damar Hamlin episode and other injuries as well. Seemed to sap any focus and momentum completely, really difficult to deal with emotionally. Much like this year, they also lost their top CB Tre White.

The Steelers are winning games with smoke and mirrors....most people are shocked they are winning games with Pickett as their QB.

Someone should’ve traded for tannehill….

They will be getting a new qb next year

Pickett had one fluke year in college after being awful for years

Right?

He could have been had for a 4th probably.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I don’t give a fuck. People like you that don’t know football need to lean on nonsense like that to assess the game of football. I’m telling you right now that the best five teams in the NFL are the Chiefs Eagles Niners Cowboys and Lions.

Cowboys

The team that can beat up on the bad teams. Same team every year man. I want to believe the same every year. They can be considered for the 5th spot but that’s it.

The Lions? Other than opening week they lose to every good team they face. They are a top 10 team, not top 5.

Top 4 - pretty clear
KC
PHI
SF
BAL

The 5th team isn’t clear but I would consider MIA, JAX, DAL.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Just heard something that sounds bizarre but is a fact....Patrick Mahomes has never played a road playoff game

Be interesting if they don't get the 1 seed

#spoiled

Speaking of flukes, how the hell did any team let Tommy Devito throw 3 TDs against them? Commies sacked him 5 times in the first quarter and still couldn't contain him lol. Some heads are gonna roll...

Not sure what the data says on the Kelce circumstance but it’s pretty telling with Lamar/Andrews

Miami is much like Dallas. Beat up on bad teams, lose to the good ones. Jax seems to have some issues too. Ravens are a tough read, will need to see how they adjust without their top target.

I would have put the Ravens up there before the Andrews injury. They aren’t top 5 anymore. How are you ripping on Dallas for not beating anyone good and then you put Jacksonville up here?
