It’s gonna come down to coaching. Rams had a stacked roster last season. Between the league wanting LA to win in their brand new stadium, and McVay being a pretty damn good coach with a roster full of Allstars and egos, they made it work. If McD can coach them up in those situations (which remains to be seen) then they’ll make it over the hump. [Reply]

McD might be their weakest link in all this. He's another playoff loss stunner from being curled up in a corner. [Reply]
Josh Allen is more overhyped than anything. His great season wasn't even as good as Mahomes last season. Also he isn't the alpha that Mahomes, Brady and Rodgers is. The golf tournament this year proved that. [Reply]

A great front office wouldn’t have wasted a pick on a rapist punter. [Reply]

Even Mahomes had the second half last year in the AFC Championship Game. Like you said, shit happens.
Buffalo is being hyped because it is the feel good story. Long time franchise that hasn't won a title since the AFL days. Fan base that is quirky. Allen is the young stud QB. Heartbreaking loss last year in the playoffs. Etc. Etc.
If you as me, we drafted and built our team to beat the Bills. If Josh Allen wants to run Bryan Cook and our linebackers will make that a tough task. JMO [Reply]

We know what they were last year and they didn't really lose anything important.
Rousseau and Basham are a year into it and they added Von Miller to that pass rush.
Shakir and Cook are going to help an already good offense.
I don't expect rookies to have a tremendous impact on defense but Elam and Benford will help that CB group that was really bad after White. I think Benford is going to be the better player and he's a ball hawk.
They're the real deal, in my opinion.
Do you think they will rape the rest of the AFC? Is that why you like them? [Reply]

Dude had 637 yards passing on 77% completion and 9 touchdowns and 134 yards rushing in the playoffs. That's some alpha shit. [Reply]
