Orange man living rent free still.

He's up there for me as well. Mainly because he is a complete fake and liar. The emotional immaturity is just the cherry on top. The only reason it wont turn bad in New England is because he's too old.

This is fair.. and as we’re seeing, teams that pay their QB (Philly aside) have major holes due to that. Burrow defenders will justifiably point to how unbelievably well he played before those picks and in the drive after (accurate, he was amazing). But when you make what he makes, and furthermore advocate for a huge chunk of cap to go to your top two WR’s, you can’t be the one who makes those mistakes. You shouldn’t expect your defense to bail you out. You knew the deal when you signed your contract and went above and beyond to advocate for Chase & Higgins. I don’t blame him if the injuries are getting to him. And the Bengals, prior to this year, are responsible for not protecting him. But in terms of this singular game, you know the deal. You’ve got to outscore people. You can’t throw a pick six in the 4th Q and expect to beat another elite QB (who’s also covering up for holes on his team).

Playing Madden with him on the Eagles.

No offense but this is extremely bad take. First of all it's not true. We'd win more even with Trubisky against other teams with their starting QBs. Second it's sort of logical, isn't it? When you start backup, you win much less games. That's the point. Starters are starters for a reason. Third, if you want to make a valid argument, then you need to start Trubisky (or any other backup) on EVERY team. How many games we'd win in such case? Still three? Fourth, it's logical that we have worse team than an average one when you take starting QBs out of the equation. We are paying a lot to Allen (so we can pay less to others) and were are drafting lower than anybody else except the Chiefs thanks to Allen.

I am still upset that no one even gave a single laugh emoji when I said he was hanging out with Dri Archer... pearls before swine

You believed Tim Walz was a great pick. People make mistakes.

Impressive, a deer would be tougher than a turkey for sure. In fall/spring gear I've got a good method where I get into a deep squat and grip a thin tree or my trailer hitch for leverage. This allows adequate pants clearance. When it really gets tough is duck hunting in waders. That's one I have yet to figure out when you're on short notice.

100% There was about 5 minutes to go and the Bengals were up 3 with the ball at the Bills 30 (ish) Run a couple minutes of clock and score a TD (which seemed inevitable without the pick) and you're up 10 with between 2-3 minutes to play. Burrow blew it. I think if Belichick has any NFL offers the most likely team is actually the Bengals. Since they have no GM there's no issue there. There's big problems and their overrated HC is terrible. Burrow is having a public meltdown. Now, they are the Bengals, so the most likely outcome is that they try to stick it to Burrow, and Brown tells him "you work for me son" and plays hardball. But there's a chance they get a clue and hire a real HC, and whatever Belichick is or isn't he with a great QB would be very dangerous again. Don't forget: when the Bengals used to play defense too they were extremely tough. They don't even need to be good or great, even a middle of the road defense would make them a SB contender. Right now they are laughably bad.

Why in the world would anyone believe Liz Wheeler

I think you might have misread my comment ---- I don't think we have a strong defense by any means. Our pass rush is suffering without Ed and Hoecht, both key pieces to what we were trying to do. Our secondary is inconsistent at times too. But the hope is we continue to improve with the pieces we have left and some of the younger players (Walker, Sanders, Max) can step up at critical times. I'm very encouraged that we have started to "sure up" the run defense --- more passing/leads to more turnover opportunities, and getting teams into obvious passing situations. But the key thing --- is winning the turnover battle. That's the ultimate differentiator

I think part of it was keeping Allen under wraps as long as possible to keep him fresh for the playoffs. Look at Jackson: hamstring injury, knee injury, a shell of himself. Not able to really run. Very very rarely is a QB able to just put on the cape and become undefendable. And it doesn't usually last long. Cam Newton is the last guy I can remember who could physically take over a game. People forget just how unbelievable he was for a couple of years. He was undefendable. Allen is even better, and I can totally see him simply taking over playoff games and leading us all the way. It's not something you would ideally count on, but when you have a cheat code you might as well use it.

But we can have pencils with Democrats, Trump says no!

If it’s a close Buffalo win, I think the Pats would take it - provided they bounce back against the Ravens. Then they’ll focus on closing out the division against NYJ and MIA. If we beat them in convincing fashion, I could absolutely see it resonating in their psyche, and then if they lose to Baltimore… hoo boy. I don’t think this is a “just win” type of game. This should be a dominate them type of game. Not saying we will, but if we want to put that doubt in their collective conscience, that’s what it will take.

And not planning for a WR 2 solution either which is why we only have a slot receiver in Shakir. He should have been drafting and molding a guy to play opposite Diggs and instead they just thrust Gabe Davis into that role who was ill prepared for that role. He was great as a #3 option on the outside. Beane has been absymal on the WR role since Emmanuel Sanders 1 year role which again they should have been preparing for a proper WR 2 which wasn't just a random 1 year rental.

It was a killer, anything after we’ll never know.

Bills 27 Patriots 17 We're about to make it so.

Let’s go somewhere completely different? What do you want for Christmas?

He got joo joo eyeballs

Give it some time. It's the Diggs cycle. Right now we're in the honeymoon, "we're like brothers" piggy back rides on the cover of Sports Illustrated phase. This week he'll catch a 9 yard pass on 3rd and 7 and stand there staring into space all "intense" for 5 seconds. But soon Diggs will be doing the "almost" sign with his fingers to Maye or signaling "just a bit higher (or lower)" with his hands in a few weeks when he drops a pass in a big moment. Then after we go into Foxborough and thump them in the divisional round in a game where he was invisible he'll throw a fit and leave the stadium without talking to anyone and Vrabel will have to run out into the snowstorm and talk him out of an Uber and back into the locker room to talk with his team. But don't worry, everything is great. All are in harmony. Then he'll not show up for minicamps. Then he will. He'll say he was told to go home. The team will say no he wasn't. He'll make veiled comments on social media. Next season will start, he'll be invisible for long stretches except for outbursts. Then he'll drop another ball in a big spot and show up Maye acting like it was a bad throw. This will go on all season, and after he disappears in the 2026 playoffs NE will cut him and he'll go sign with another team with a young QB and the cycle will start again. BTW, this is the difference between Diggs and guys like Higgins and Chase. Those guys seem to catch anything thrown in their general direction. Freaking Higgins is out there concussed catching passes with 1 hand in a blizzard and holding on as he falls to the ground and hits his head on the turf yet again. Diggs is a great WR but he also vanishes in the playoffs. Those dudes are uncoverable. Luckily CIN doesn't play defense or special teams.
