Strange season forming
Three weeks in and only 3 undefeated teams left, and none of them look like world beaters to me. I think the Dolphins pop open the bubbly early this year.
Hopefully we can build on today's win and start playing football and get right back in the thick of things. Just can't afford many - if any - more NFC losses. |

Re: Strange season forming
Yeah if anyone told me before the season that the Cardinals, Eagles and Bengals would be the only unbeaten teams after 3 weeks I would not have believed them.

Re: Strange season forming
Maybe the Bengals. They're another under the radar team

Even if our pass rush isn't playing great, I've still not seen Byrd make a play, jump a route etc Our pass rush in 2009 was weak, Sharper still managed to jump routes and make plays, grabbing 10 picks Until he proves me otherwise, I think we massively overpaid for him, and the bills knew it |

Re: Strange season forming
After 3 games we have 1 forced turnover.
That's tied for 2nd worst in the entire league. Thats also pathetic, and on pace for worst in NFL history. |

Last year we were just playing fundamentally sound football and we still had more turnovers through 3 weeks than we do now |

Re: Strange season forming
Bengals - they are starting to run out of time to make their run. next couple of years are a do or die deal.
Cardinals - no surprise here IMO. boy can that team draft. their push has just started Eagles all flash and dash. they maybe the Cinderellas of the NFC East. what a weak division. early on but i do not see them making it far in the playoffs. Tell ya win the South and we are sitting pretty good. Atlanta must fall Tampa and Carolina can be had. |

Re: Strange season forming
I think Sharper got an advance from the football gods for all our turnovers for the next 5 years back in '09...We really haven't had a lot since that year. We haven't really had any since the first half of 2013, but i suspect only because the defense was playing with a lead for most games. I find this to be the most puzzling aspect of our team. Aside from Lofton our linebackers are lackluster for the most part and create 0 plays on the ball. Lofton is mainly just a solid player occasionally creates a fumble. I just don't understand how they are absolutely incapable of creating ANY. It is bewildering to say the least.
