    And of course it's the homer perspective. Within hours after it happened- long before either guy even puts cleats on for practice, you come in with "KC pick (suspected) bad, Buffalo pick good."
    You bet your ass I am. Because I purposely choose my words carefully.

    You usually do not, making absurd declarative statements (in predictions) that the majority of the time are total bull****!!!!


    Like this one....

    I suspect that THIS one is going to look very stupid in about 8 months (probably sooner).

    I changed my mind on that almost immediately, because when I said it I wasn’t thinking abound how crappy our div is. We will make the playoffs because of the sheer luck of the div being weak this year, and whoever comes in 2nd in the AFCN will kick the crap out of us in the first round.

    Baltimore? Please, Chokebox Hero Lamar Jackson will seal the win for us.

    Cincinnati? Maybe; but we looked better against them this last year. I don't think Brady will get owned by Anarumo the way that Dorsey did. McDermott certainly fared better than Frazier.

    Being negative vs. positive is no guarantee of accuracy or objectivity.

    That last line is a keeper. How does FanBack do it?

    I’m not being negative. I’m being realistic. Cincy owns us. We beat Baltimore in ‘22 (I was there) but since then, they’ve gotten better, Lamar has gotten better, and we lost talent and experience that we couldn’t replace due to the cap situation.
