Haven’t checked the west but anyone else bored already by the teams in the quarterfinals? I’ve seen enough boston/Milwaukee/NY coverage over the last few seasons. All this means is they’ll get even more prime time slots and I’ll have even less a chance of watching my guys broadcast. And if anyone deserves to be televised and an extra bunch of money, it’s a team like ours that’s been absolutely working their asses off.

Did i see Diggs upset after one of our tds?

A few things, one is that Lamar Jackson is also a huge turnover machine, particularly 4th quarter turnovers that ruin games and is only recently getting called out on it (just to add another elite comparison). Another thing is I heard someone doing analysis somewhere and they pointed out that dorseys routes were predictable so any team that did their homework had a huge advantage in knowing what our receivers were doing while josh is still trying to follow the playback. So he either has to throw a ball where they already know it’s going (while trying to compensate by making them fastballs), or he has to try to throw to even worse options. So he’s having to go through all his reads, realize the anticipation and then figure out some circus nonsense on every possession. Hypothetically at least. And finally, does anyone have numbers on how many of his ints are bombs that end up acting like punts? I mean we’ve all seen them, but I don’t know how many times and they count the same as any other turnover (and also beg the question of why aren’t his receivers coming up with those balls?).

I think Staley will be available after this season, so maybe

I’m not nearly as crushed by this season as many on here because I do have practice from the drought years. And this season is exactly like a drought season: enough talent for hope but an underlying awareness of "this is never gonna work "

People keep calling him a wunderkind.

Go back and watch the tape.he wasn’t pointing, he said “pull my finger.” Then it was 15 yards for sharting. Does no one in this sub watch the games?

I think the media has a ton to do with it, both sports media and social media. But i might be showing recency bias since it was a topic of discussion 3 separate times on espn today (regarding our expectations of Josh allen/bills, the Dallas cowboys, and Anthony Davis)
