Despite what one would think being a cold weather team with a famously blue-collar fan base, they don’t actually have the running offense to control games. They’re around 23rd in rushing; everything flows through Josh Allen. If he has an off day or runs into a great DC their offense can be contained.
To my mind the NFC is Packers’ to lose. I think they can be beaten if the likes of the Rams or Cardinals or Cowboys have a great game, but I think GB would and should be very disappointed if they don’t make LA.
Fair. Isn’t Allen their second leading rusher? I know he’s big and strong but he sure gets put in harm’s way a lot. That’s not a recipe for a long career.
You think? I really think if they get Henry back healthy and have Julio and AJ available, that changes their whole dynamic. With any one of them out it really makes them one dimensional i think in that you know which 2 you gotta focus on. But they are dangerous if they’re all fit and healthy. There is obvs question marks - even if Henry comes back will he be full go and rust free? Can you trust Tannehill? Is their D good enough? But they should get the bye which will help them big time. They’ve got a good HC in my view.
Mathieu is good but I wonder if he’s carrying a bit of a knock. The corners (Sneed, Ward, Fenton etc.) are OK but not spectacular. Ward was horribly exposed by Chase in the Bengals game, but part of the blame must be on the DC Spagnuolo for not doubling Chase.
He doesn’t slide much either. He aggressively pursues extra yards and takes a lot of hits. But in the play offs he just can’t be the focus of their run game without it causing problems. And that in turn puts a lot of pressure on his arm. He is very good - and so can win games all by himself. But the moment he isn’t playing out of his skin, it’ll become very difficult for the Bills - I think. And by all accounts it looks like they will be up against us. A team that knows them well. It’s the only team I see us playing and having a chance to progress past wildcard as I would trust BB to overcome the quality gap against them but don’t think it’d be enough vs the other teams.
The big running QBs tend to do that, don’t they? They think they’re Supermen. Look at Cam. It’s only guys like Russell Wilson that do the cowardly slide
The dual-sport baseball guys (Russ, Kyler, etc) seem to be the best sliders. I don’t know if Lamar has gotten wiser about it.The big running QBs tend to do that, don’t they? They think they’re Supermen. Look at Cam. It’s only guys like Russell Wilson that do the cowardly slide
I’m gonna annoy you but I think that the Bills will beat the Pats if they face each other. Jones has been solid but I can’t pick a rookie over Allen in a playoff game. Even though you did beat them in one of the regular season games.
the Jaguars. What a joke.Doesn’t annoy me at all! I’m definitely of the view that we are a wild card team at best. Still very much building. And probably the weakest or second weakest team in the play offs on the AFC side. I think we lose in the wild card round, but I have us with a good shot vs the Bills (no shot vs Chiefs, Bengals or Titans). I think the coaching teams know-how in these games will play a big role. I could be wrong! And the Bills are the better team overall for sure. But I think it’s games like these, especially against division rivals, where I think having that coaching team and experience is more valuable than other games.The big running QBs tend to do that, don’t they?

He went on a bit of a rant, but it is sage (and fair) advice from him. You look at what Joe Brady did with LSU and then he immediately got a job with Carolina where they have been horrific, which leads to his termination as OC.
Yes true. You can’t write of Belichick’s experience and know-how. The defense is gonna show up. It’s just tough with a rookie QB, no matter how good they are. I’m pretty sure that no rookie (real rookie, not a second year player that sat his first year) has ever led a team to the SB. They could win a playoff game though.
It’s odd he’s going in at Brady, who is probably the only guy who has stuck his neck out for him in recent times.
I take it all back.

Hahaha! Need to win a couple of playoff games first before talking about SB plans. Would be one of the most selfish things a player could do, yet his team will plan accordingly without him. Would be hilarious if Jordan Love leads the team to a SB victory, obviously heavily leaning on the run game and overall WR talent led by Adams. And their defense has been good enough the entire year.
We need to get him and Djokovic on Rogan Asap
Haha, that was satisfying and justifying. Yet only from their first season in LA!

Come on! that is clickbait at its best. Rodgers even responded to this on Twitter. Mike Florio is just a troll as far as Packers are concerned
I can't believe some people are taking this seriosuly.
Didn’t even know we were playing a day early, hope we get twatted.
Chiefs kicker slipped on a kick-off. Then they showed he had slipped in warm-up as well.
Weird
