Funny how Todd Bowles isn't getting any credit or mentions of doing a good job, despite that team being significantly better than everyone thought. I wonder why.....
People only remember Bowles exist when the Bucs are doing bad. When they do well, it's because of everyone but him. People tend to forget Bowles is the first person to figure out how to shut the Mahomes era Chiefs offense down as a defensive coordinator.

I get what you are saying but CMC is a bad example

He was all world in Carolina. That team had literally nothing but him on offense. He can play anywhere because he is the system when he’s on your team.

He's even better in SF and despite being all world, Panthers did not give up much for him. When has a top tier RB gone to a team and kept up the production? It does not happen often. We've seen RBs go to other teams and look completely washed. How does Dalvin Cook look washed in a matter of months? Was he never that good but relied on the right scheme? Great OL? You don't just fall off in months like that. Serious question, why is he ineffective now?

For Dalvin it’s lack of volume and a bad o line. RBs need to get into a rhythm and eventually they break off the big runs. Dalvin can’t do anything getting 5-6 touches a game.

Jets abandon the run pretty quickly and on top of that he’s splitting with Breece. This is an awful situation for him. Ideally he should have went to Miami where defenses aren't concerned with stopping the run, so he would have alot more room. Then he could be successful with limited carries

-the 9ers are the best team in the nfl
-eagles are good but they don't look close to what they were last year and same with the chiefs
-tredavious white getting hurt again sucks and will hurt the bills defense but they still might be the best team in the AFC
-broncos need to play their young guys more, specifically marvin mims and mcglaughin
-bengals are done for the year
Tre gettin hurt killed me. Thats a big loss. But at least von miller is now off the PUP list and will be back to practice this week. When hes back in the game, that qb pressure will be a game changer

Pretty much, so he's not washed like folk are saying. He's just getting limited reps. I guess that's why teams are not paying.

The Super Bowl winner and loser just want to hurry up and get to the playoffs. It's to be expected. They'll get it together as the season progresses. Eagles are still adjusting to new coordinators.

Chiefs need to get Mahomes a #1.

Zach Wilson been getting dogged forever but one game they didn't even win has people excited :russell:

Stroud is the truth and once the O line gets healthy he should look even better if that's possible. Would love to see them contend for a wildcard or even win the division.

Mike Tomlin needs to get out of Pittsburgh and get a fresh start elsewhere.

He’s got zero burst. I know he was never a speed demon before but he looks like he’s in cement shoes out there

But how does that change in a matter of months?

We talking about a 1100 yard rusher in each of the last 4 seasons with like 50 TDs in that span.
