Big Ben got the number 1 Patriot killer vote.
I love how the 'Beast Mode' moniker came from a run against the Saints' worst tackling defense in history. Record setting bad defense. We probably have a few posters on this forum that could've ran through those guys. But it's forever now. 'Beast Mode' Lynch. Just like those fans in Seattle "invented" 12th man.
Regardless of Beast Mode's beastiness...
The Raidahs are indeed on the verge of being dominant in the AFC. I expect them to be in 7 of the next 10 AFCCGs.
Like him or hate him, Lynch (in his prime) was one of the most violent runners in the league. https://youtu.be/6xftLbeMhcI
Also, the Raiders are coming for the rest of the league...and they look terrifying.
Yep.
If they had traded up for Reddick (as was rumored), I'd have slotted them into the SuperBowl. ILB is their only real weakness. Of course, if Conley pans out (they get a steal), then they would simply go nickel on every down (eliminating the hole at ILB).
In other words, I'm more worried about the Raidahs than I am of the Taperiots. That is NOT a slight of the Taperiots; that is how much respect I have for the Raidahs.
The Raiders need to demonstrate significant strides on defense before overtaking the Cheaters. They finished bottom 10 in total, rushing, and pass defense and were 20th in scoring defense. Otherwise, in a playoff game against them, they'll get torched by Brady, while Oakland's offense won't be able to score enough points going against New England's defense
Same thing goes for Pittsburgh, their secondary and pass rush needs to be better against New England if they want any chance of beating them
I've always thought him to be overrated as a back. With the exception of maybe 3 of those highlights, you can see the rest of those runs on any given Sunday and it helps that some of those poor tackling defenses were bottom of the barrel as far as the NFL is concerned. The other 3 or so are pretty nice highlights...
Ebb and flow. Today, I like our offense vs their defense. I like our defense against their offense as well. They may very well catch us, but I still put us ahead of them, and we're still young as well. If Dobbs can use the weapons efficiently, we shouldn't have such a huge dropoff when Ben retires. IF....
