I think Thielen is a couple weeks too late on this one…although maybe minny wouldn’t have granted his release til now. Even if he has juice left there is just not a lot of time to get acclimated honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we brought him in at this point though haha

tbh that's the difference i just want a super bowl win. i dont care if we need to fire mcdermott to do it or trade allen for picks, whatever works. just win one and whoever happens to be in charge at the time can stay forever

He also is tied with Shakir with 23 1st downs having 23 less targets. The kid and I emphasize "kid" needs to get his head straight and he can still make a serviceable WR.

If he does win a Super Bowl I'm bumping this thread just for the framing of the question.

Not likely as Fox has the 4:25 game that day and no way CBS would give it up and the Sunday night game involves Dallas who is always a big draw so not likely NBC would want to give that one up. Actually CBS has 3 ve4ry good early 1:00 games that day, Bills @ NE, Rams @ Chiefs, and Balt @ Bengals so could just as easily argue in favor of flexing the other two also. Don't know if they flex to Monday night? That's kind of a dud, Steelers at Miami, but even there, Steelers draw well on TV too.

I guess we’re ready to fire McD and Beane. It’s been a nice season. Welcome to Buffalo, Pete Carrol!!

I would be rid of Tomlin and Harbaugh if I owned the Steelers or Ravens.

If they put White out there I quit. Done.

Absolute nonsense. There is no "convention" that the US is signatory to that extends combatant rights to people from no discernable country or military force that are engaged in criminal activity.

I’m with you on the non 1p starts … I don’t mind a few later games, but this season has been overboard with them. Then again, if you have nothing but 1p games, that tells me plenty about your team. I’m not overly impressed by the victory either, largely because I think our air attack remains pure garbage, and speaking of pure garbage? The Squealers are horrendous and they really need to face the music and blow that thing up from Tomlin on down. No. Ever hear of “The Peter Principle”?

Weak ass response.

Someone please explain to me why Mike Tomlin is so great? In 2007, the guy inherited a #1 defense with legendary Dick LeBeau at DC, Big Ben at QB with Bruce Arians as OC. In his 19 years as HC of the Steelers, he won only one SB, and that was in 2008. Tomlin has never had a losing season in those 19 years, and he has a winning percentage of .625. Pittsburgh fans were chanting "fire Tomlin" at their stadium Sunday. Currently, their offense is in the 15s, and the defense is in the 20s, yet it is the most expensive defense in the NFL. Speaking of long-term head coaches. John Harbaugh, in his 18 years as HC of the Ravens. Now this man inherited a 5-11 lousy team with both the offense, defense in the 20s. However, he did inherit a LBer named Ray Lewis. In 2012, he won an SB with Joe Flacco at QB. No Super Bowls since then, and I'm suspecting it was because all AFC teams were blocked by Tom Brady and the Patriots. In that 2012 season, they beat NE. Baltimore drafted Lamar Jackson the same year as Josh Allen in 2018, and Jackson is a two-time MVP. Harbaugh has a winning percentage of .618% NOW, the team that has been blocking all AFC teams from advancing to the SB has been the Kansas City Chiefs, save for one year, in which the Bengals got in and lost in 2021. The thing is, at the end of this season, TE Travis Kelce might retire, and HC Andy Reid might retire too. Which would make the Chiefs just another team. Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott has a winning percentage in his 9 seasons of .657%. That said, this year's Buffalo Bills are built for cold weather with that #1 in the NFL rushing team. They play Cincy, at NE, at Cleveland, Philly, and the NY Jets. Then, every one of those games will be played in cold weather, and possibly in the snow. Perfect for this team.

any estimate in the decrease in OD deaths after a year bombing? I predict it will be tiny. Addicts don't give up easily either. They'll find other highs such as prescription drug abuse. Many OD's are due to these.

He really has been the reason the run defense has been better. They broke down the season average and discounted the atlanta game since TB was hurt in the game. rushing yards per attempt this season early on WGR: TB: 5.3 ST: 3.1

Milano always seems to play absolutely terrible for a long stretch post injury then he turns it on out of seemingly nowhere haha

Yes. We could use his veteran experience, great hands & insurance for Shakir

I did an “I oughta” switch. But yeah, that be a welcome sight.

Why should I debate you when all you're going to do is tell me how bad the Bills are?

Dec 28th around 11:00 PM near or at the conclusion of the Sunday night game. They used to announce it at halftime, but lately it's been at the end of the game. But if I were to guess, I'd say 1:00 Sunday. The only way it could be later would be if Chargers and Bills are fighting for last playoff spot, the nmay want game to go up against Chargers 4:00 start time. Looking ahead at schedule I wonder if the NE at Balt game will be flexed to 4:25 on Dec 21st? Would think that's a better game than Steelers at Lions and Vegas at Houston??

Yes. They basically ran 2 run plays over and over, with a few TE/RB passes mixed in for key conversions. It was a simple game plan that the Steelers just couldn’t stop. To play devils advocate… maybe they had more to the game plan? But with Cook and Davis being so unstoppable, Brady never had to dig deeper than than the 3 or 4th play on his sheet? If that’s the case, it was a great win because we won easily and put pretty much nothing on tape for the Bengals.

They still got gashed a bit over the middle…Josh had 50 yards rushing and Kincaid had 100+ receiving yards. People like to lump that one in with the falcons/dolphins type games but it had a pretty different vibe to me at least. That was mostly a ‘we moved the ball but got hampered with penalties/turnovers’ type game imo I don’t think the pats defense is very stout in the middle of the field to begin with and throwing everything at slowing down cook opened other things up in that one.. granted that doesn’t mean it’ll happen again lol

I had the same question after looking at the pictures.

It will never be completely effective until these murderous people have other economic opportunities in their own countries, and having the US as an insurance policy prevents that. The Biden four years set us way back. I get that people here may not share that view, but I would suggest that people here have no idea how big the drug trade and illegal immigration industry is. That comes from carrying and listening to others who have carried the massive amount of US personnel group from DEA to CIA to a host of others who have done this for years. The average "guy" who posts here has absolutely no idea. There is no way to stop it without sending a strong message that it will have fatal consequences. I don't like it, but I understand it.

My gut tells me that the Pats lack of talent and depth will catch up to them in the playoffs, but still a very successful season and bright future.

I watched most of the game. I thought the Sabres were getting the better of game play as wild as that sounds in a 5-0 loss. But the advanced stats suggest I'm not insane. The Devils were outworked but proved to be more dangerous as they made us pay for mistakes. Buffalo generated solid chances but nothing would go in. https://www.naturalstattrick.com/game.php?season=20252026&game=20379&view=limited The Pens game was a slow start but it was ALL Sabres by the midway through the 2nd period. Slow start factored in, I thought the Sabres got the better of the action and the advanced stats suggest I'm not insane. Poor goaltending was the difference. https://www.naturalstattrick.com/game.php?season=20252026&game=20366 In the Wild game the Sabres were again getting the better of the game play in my opinion but got extremely lucky with a fluky goal to force OT. Once again, the advanced stats suggest I'm not insane. Minnesota looked far more dangerous on fewer scoring chances but Ellis and defenseman made critical stops. https://www.naturalstattrick.com/game.php?season=20252026&game=20399&view=limited Its still early, but this is the best and most consistent hockey the Sabres have played in any period during the drought that I can remember. The Sabres are more often than not outworking their opponents and earning the right to win these games. Its maddening how often our Dmen are in the right position but can't seem to lift up a stick or take the body to eliminate the scoring chance. Its also maddening how often its OP.
