We’ll have to see. I think Buffalo still wins, but they have played down to the Dolphins twice now this year. Tua did start both games, but wasn’t exactly prolific in either. Both were razor thin, and if Skylar Thompson keeps the turnovers down then it depends on which Josh Allen shows up

I think Buffalo wins pretty handily, but from a home field advantage perspective, it's going to be a hostile crowd with temps 30 or below against a team from Miami. Then if it's windy it's more of an advantage for Buffalo.

Seattle is a finesse team, and Ken Walker is a finesse RB.

The worse the conditions the more it favors SF.

Walker is super strong, and can run over defenders just as easily as he can run past them. Really good after initial contact, which is pretty much the antithesis of "finesse."

For me it’s a consistency issue. Buffalo could have the biggest blowout, or could have the oddest outcome as they are occasionally prone to. Whereas I feel SF is the most likely to consistently overpower SEA in any scenario

No, bacarty has issues.  I currently have an avatar honoring a board bet.  Asking someone to have a swastika is absolutely disgusting.

Enters the conversation and immediately becomes divisive. EVERY TIME.

Why always the conflict, dude?

Your entertainment value is plummeting...

How am I an issue.  Does rejecting a swastika avatar to honor a board bet make me a bad person ??

Should be a blowout but they could end up looking past them

I am fine with this.  You will likely see them compete which is what we want.  The Pro-Bowl has never been a good football game.  It should be much more entertaining as a flag football game.  I just hope they let O-lneman play other positions like WR and QB, mix up offensive and defensive players.  

I would watch if they leaned more into the stupid than just a flag football game. Give me o-line beer chugging competitions. DT hot dog eating contest. LB arm wrestling.

Bacarty really is the gift that keeps on giving.  Choosing a swastika for downunder and then attempting to hold him accountable for not wanting to use that.  @Bacarty2 you have less emotional intelligence than my 4 month old French bulldog.  

He should merge accounts with osilver and become Bacarty Silver.

I completely forgot about Derek Barnett still being on this team. Is he back another year or will the Birds cut him and look elsewhere?

He's likely back with how they structured it.

I don't think teams look past anyone when it comes playoff time.

I will let the powers that be decide.  I am not going to put something that is absolutely disgusting as my avatar unless it is OK'd.

@Moderator6, bacarty is requesting I use a swastika as an avatar for a board bet that I have to honor.  Thoughts ??

Can't you just go hammer and sickle, nearly as egregious but without the overt anti-semitism.

With the current state of the world, no.

Look at my current avatar, that is a good spirited board bet loser avatar.

I get to pick his avitar for a month.  Figure putting some thing offensive will get his banned and I dont have to deal with him anymore and that was the game plan for him and 4for4 for all the avitar bets

So a bet involving an avatar change and you decide on a Fn swastika and post it for everyone to see that it's your idea and you think down under is the one to get banned for it??? How dumb are you? You are disgusting trash and should never see this board again . Go get help for your gambling

bad plan.

Youve had months to think of something more sensible, and instead youve stuck with that plan and actually said it for other people to see?

Stupid. Very Stupid.

Some examples of excellent Quez catches from last year.

ABOUT 0:58, coming back in to a defender for an underthrown ball, makes catch through contact.

1:42 dives back in opposite direction and plucks the tipped ball way out away from his body as he is going to the ground.

2:04 hes not in the end zone, but he makes the grab reaching over the defenders back and controls it to the ground. Impressive incompletion. 

2:12 Sideline toe drag reception

3:36 come back route along the sideline. Has to go up for the ball. Manages to come down both feet in bounds with a defender right on his back.

4:47 deep ball arrives at same time as defender. Watkins comes down with it with defender on his back.

 

I didnt pay attention the first time around, but I bet youd find a lot of his highlights came on 3rd downs. 

He has definitely flashed good body control, and ability to come down with tough grabs.

I maintain that he has done more of it this year, even in clutch situations. But the fumble, and INTs where he failed to box out stand out in peoples mind. 

I still feel he is a Darnell Mooney level player with more opportunity (and proper usage to fit his skill set). Thats a borderline #1, and an excellent #2.

Appreciated.

Yeah, could have come up with any number of funny avatars ( like the one I currently have ), but that is his angle.  It really says a lot about him.

You 2 and a few others clearly don't like each other yet you constantly quote and respond to each other. Making bets to get the other suspended. All of you should put each other on ignore already

Mod 6 has been pretty lenient. I'd tell you all to ignore each other or face a very long suspension

We are discussing an avatar bet, and yes, we do have a suspension bet.

Not my fault that he said Brown won't have 100 catches in his first two years with the Eagles, and then agreed to the terms of 1 month suspension.

He makes hot takes, and challenges people to put their money ( or avatar or board availability ) where their mouth is.
