What is not impressive is having no plan when the 3 plays in the playbook don't work. Brady does great in the "Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl" scenarios. If he has to be the least bit creative or figure out a passing game, he draws a blank.

The higher our seed, the better chance we have of hosting the AFC Championship as well. I've been saying all year, the final game at Highmark will be Buffalo taking KC down at home to advance to the SB. Speaking it into existence.....

Below, from today's ESPN's "NFL Week 14 latest buzz, questions, news and fantasy tips." I like this, always having believed that McDermott truly cares about his players and invests himself in helping them grow as humans. "Keon Coleman's fourth-and-goal touchdown catch Sunday in Pittsburgh held a little more importance than a run-of-the-mill score. The Buffalo receiver had gone through the proverbial ringer. The Bills sat him down in back-to-back weeks due to punctuality issues at the team facility. He was benched for Week 11 vs. Tampa Bay, and though he worked to get back in the lineup the following week in Houston, that was a Thursday night game, so the team stuck with its same offense on a quick turnaround. "It's a professionalism thing -- but he's going to be OK," a team source told me that week. "We need him." More pointedly, the Bills need receivers who can beat coverage consistently. While Coleman isn't a speedster, he has the size and body control to make contested catches. He's still learning how to operate in a Josh Allen offense where second-reaction routes can be just as important as the original route due to Allen's scrambling. The Bills did not consider cutting Coleman through his midseason issue, I'm told, and it looks like they are sticking with him after he played 33 snaps Sunday. Let's see if he can build on that.

I guess it depends what he means by "TE1". First TE option in the passing game? Absolutely not. But on the field more than any other TE? If they are really going to lean into the run-first approach than yes, he's such a versatile piece, he's basically an extra offensive tackle who can also run pass patterns. I could see him overtaking Kincaid and Knox in overall snap count.

The NFL is not the: * 162 games of the MLB * 82 games of the NHL or NBA There are now 17… SEVENTEEN ONLY! Only fools and Pom Pom waving cheerleaders don’t comprehend that EVERY one is critically important! Moreso, in the NFL, because finishing first gives you the critical first round Bye AND you play at HOME! And you don’t need 3/5 or 4/7 to move on in the Playoffs! This has been a FUBAR year of mammoth proportions, ensuring by OBD incompetence of players, scheme and mgt., against clown teams like the Fish & the Falcons, a backup QB in Houston and a nobody- at the time, like the Patsies, that the Bills will have the long road to the SB! This, in a year where everything was before them and now, the best they can do, is likely 5th!

"One of the foods researchers measured was a standard beef hot dog on a bun. Its 61 grams of processed meat resulted in the loss of 27 minutes of healthy life, Jolliet said – but when ingredients like sodium and trans fatty acids were factored in, the final value was 36 minutes lost." https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/27/health/hot-dog-could-shorten-life-trnd-wellness-scn

Brady isn't the problem. He was given little to work with and leaned on the run game because why wouldn't he? Allen is not playing his best ball to low expectation Wr's, a TE who can't play, Knox who is underappreciated because he's not George Kittle or Gronk, and his best and favorite target is a 3rd down running back who plays 20% of the snaps at best. Shakir is not what we thought and was overpaid, too. The problem is the sum of the parts are greater than the total of each individually because our OL is superior, our RB is excelling beyond expectations, and our QB is talented. The reality is that Mahomes did as much and more with a similarly talented offense in KC the last few years to make the excuse that there truly is a problem here. It's hard to say Brady is the problem unless you compare him to someone like McVay or Reid.

Democrats and their allies in the legacy media spent the last few weeks hyperventilating about the possibility of flipping a deep-red congressional seat in Tennessee, hoping to send a shockwave through the Republican Party ahead of the midterms and take that momentum to victory. They truly believed they could ***** victory in a district President Donald Trump carried by 22 points just last year. But reality came crashing down on them Tuesday night when Decision Desk HQ projected Matt Van Epps as the winner of the special election for Tennessee’s 7th congressional district around 9:10 PM ET. The Republican combat veteran defeated socialist Democrat state Rep. Aftyn Behn, a 36-year-old who the left hoped would be the face of their new southern strategy. So much for that plan. In fairness, this race should never have been close. The seat became vacant earlier in 2025 after Rep. Mark Green retired to pursue a job in the private sector, leaving a void in a district classified as R+10. Normally, Republicans would sleepwalk through an election here. Yet, Democrats poured massive resources into this contest, sensing an opportunity to chip away at the razor-thin GOP House majority and validate their narrative of a building blue wave. House Majority PAC, which has deep ties to House Democratic leaders, invested $1 million in television and digital ads last month. Other left-wing groups, including Tennessee Rise PA, Planned Parenthood Votes, and Indivisible Action, also threw their weight and wallets behind Behn. Money certainly flowed in Behn’s direction. She held a fundraising advantage over Van Epps heading into the final stretch, raising $1.2 million through November 12. That total included a staggering $1 million raised just since October 1. She entered the final weeks with $522,000 cash on hand, while Van Epps raised $993,000 and had $231,000 available. Democrats clearly thought they could buy this seat. They were wrong. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/12/02/democrats-choke-in-tennessee-special-election-n4946651#google_vignette

and probably all of that is the dumb luck of does Gabe (or Keon) win a couple 1-1s at the right time randomly. I’m not expecting it regularly but do they randomly spin a defender on a 3rd and 7 and get a 40 yard TD turning a possible punt into 7? Kincaid being healthy will also be absolutely huge in the calculation.

Well, she can'tt do much worse than tariffs which 63% of Americans think are worsening costs. pretty much any of these poll issues help explain the R shrinkage. https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/ABC-News-Washington-Post-Ipsos-Poll-October-2025

It’s that kinda dedication to the cause that makes this a beautiful place😎

you beat the bad teams by A LOT

LOL .

Hopefully he’s the head coach of some college team this time next year.

Wildcard is Josh's mindset. Hopefully Playoff Josh locks in, like he usually does and banishes some of the screwball decision-making he's had recently.

As long as we have the good luck we’ve had all season we should e fine

I think the #1 key will be coaching/gameplan i think the #2 key will be health I think the #3 key will be turnovers

WASHINGTON — Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas got a lawyer for the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office to admit Tuesday it mounted a “fishing expedition” against a pro-life organization without receiving specific complaints about the group. Thomas drilled down on the investigation of First Choice Women’s Resource Centers during oral arguments in a case challenging a subpoena the organization received from AG Matthew Platkin’s office. “You had no basis to think that they were deceiving any of their contributors?” Thomas asked Chief Counsel Sundeep Iyer. “We certainly had complaints about crisis pregnancy centers,” Iyer deflected before admitting none specifically applied to First Choice, a faith-based nonprofit with five facilities across the Garden State that discourages women from terminating their pregnancies. “I think we had a more than ample basis to initiate this,” he added, citing concerns about misleading donors, unlicensed medical practices, violation of patient privacy, and “potentially misleading or untrue medical statements.” “Well, that just seems a burdensome way to find out whether someone has a confusing website,” jabbed Thomas. https://nypost.com/2025/12/02/us-news/scotus-justice-clarence-thomas-forces-nj-attorney-to-admit-state-targeted-pro-life-group-with-probe/

Behn would have been better on my wallet?

Yes. I can see him coming back once or twice a year to attend games. Keeping a home here year round just for those few days…probably not.

The Biden Administration okayed Special Counsel Jack Smith's subpoenaing congressional phone records knowing the subpoenas were unconstitutional, emails released last week revealed. That same trove of documents also established the illegality of the nondisclosure orders issued by the courts to prevent the telecommunication providers from alerted the members of Congress of the unconstitutional seizure of their toll records. Last week, as the nation turned its attention ahead to travel and turkey, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released another two dozen documents related to the Arctic Frost investigation into President Donald Trump and Special Counsel Jack Smith’s subpoenaing of congressional phone records. A May 17, 2023 email from the Biden Administration’s Department of Justice to Smith’s team proves explosive, with the Public Integrity Section “concur[ring] in the subpoenas for toll records for the identified Members of Congress.” This email may represent the first public evidence that the Biden Administration’s DOJ knew the special counsel’s office planned to subpoena congressional Republicans. But the scandal is even greater because in “concurring” in Smith’s use of subpoenas to target communications of members of Congress, the DOJ’s Public Integrity Section expressly acknowledged the unconstitutionality of the proposed course of action. https://thefederalist.com/2025/12/01/new-docs-reveal-jack-smith-intentionally-violated-congressional-republicans-constitutional-rights/

I think the d is middle of the pack. If we had Ed and Hoecht, I think we’d be top 8ish. we’re currently 2nd to last in epa vs the run and 4th best against the pass. Given up the most rushing TD while tied for 2nd least. Passing TDs. Our sack % is actually 12th and ahead of the Rams, which shocked me. I love watching their defense.

Just for you, a little more detailed clip from Steelers Depot

Or Paul Seymour doing the opposite. Hey, it worked. And it worked better as the game progressed and the Steelers D got tired. Belichick pulled the heavy sets on us a couple times and had success against McD's defense that prioritized speed and quickness over raw strength. The NFL is now all about speed on defense (McD was a bit ahead of his time), and this offense can have success against a lot of teams. But will it work in the playoffs? Probably not.
