    Now it looks like snow WILL potentially effect the game tomorrow as the movement north of the lake band has been a lot slower than initially expected and is basically pushing the move back south farther back as well...

     

    This Afternoon

    Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Some thunder is also possible. High near 29. Southwest wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches possible.

     

    Tonight

    Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Some thunder is also possible. Low around 23. Southwest wind 10 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 10 to 14 inches possible.

     

    Sunday

    Snow before noon, then snow showers likely after noon. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 30. Southwest wind 11 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.

     

    Sunday Night

    Snow likely before midnight, then a chance of snow showers after midnight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 24. West wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.

    It doesn't sound like there's any risk of cancellation but it sounds like weather has to be a factor. If for nothing else, snowballs.

    Raiders @ Chiefs — Black Friday — 3 PM Eastern — Prime Video

    On the plus side, have you seen how the Chiefs are playing these last few weeks? They got a ridiculous special teams play vs the Broncos, got beaten by a battered Bills team by more than a score and beat two of the worst teams in the league by a combined 5 points.

     

    Yes, the BS is real. But coming up is:

    -two current AFC division leaders (Steelers and Texans)

    -two playoff caliber division rivals desperate for WC spots (Chargers and Broncos rematches)

    -a fluky Browns team that I have no idea what to expect of week to week

     

     

    If the last month of play continues I think there's a reasonable chance they lose two and even then if they reach the playoffs playing like this?

    The Chargers look good to me.

    Herbert looks reinvigorated, their O-line has some pop in the pads, and their defense is a wagon.

    Jim Harbaugh is a very good coach and a culture setter. I don't like him -- I think he's an arrogant jerk. But I can't deny he's a good coach. Just wins everywhere he goes.

    I don't particularly love the idea of seeing these Chargers in the playoffs. Fierce defense and Greg Roman running scheme = tough out in cold January weather. 

    Greg Roman has taken a lot of grief and some of that is well earned. He is, however, an excellent run scheme designer

    The Browns are doing their best to give the Bills higher seeding

    I may live to regret this but, give me Pittsburgh in the playoffs. That’s as close to a bye as you’re getting. That offense, in that weather, can’t score enough if you take care of the football.

    I don't think it's wrong to say I'd prefer the Steelers to the Ravens. Or really, anyone but the Ravens. I give the Bills a punchers chance vs anyone but that's the matchup that is our Ds perfect storm nightmare

    Wouldn't the Bills be more likely to play the Ravens if they are a Wild Card?  Say the Bills get the 1 seed and the Ravens are the only Wild Card winner.  The Bills would play Ravens their first game in the playoffs.

    Someone worked it out. If the rankings are as current the Bills would host Broncos in the wild card and would mathematically be unable to play the Ravens on the divisional round: if Ravens win, theyd play KC and the Bills the middle seed. If they Ravens lose, the Bills play the Steelers who I feel better about playing.

     

    But I know, I'm talking hypotheticals that are weeks away at least accurately speculate on

    Rex Ryan redux

    I am sure Rex would do it if given the chance.

     

    Woody should not give it to him considering not only how it ended for his team, but what happened in Buffalo immediately afterwards. But he might just be dumb enough to make that call.

    Jets fire gm

    in The Stadium Wall

    Here's the thing: Douglas is a pretty good talent evaluator. He was part of the FO group that got the Eagles Super Bowl squad together. He's made some very nice picks.

     

    But like Doug Whaley, he was short a QB and hoo boy did that cost him. I don't even blame him for taking a shot on Rodgers. But all that money that's been kicked back, and then all the players and coaches they got to make Rodgers happy have been a millstone.

     

    Like Salah before him, Douglas is not the singular reason that the Jets are in this state. Maybe he didn't help, but I don't see that team going anywhere with Rogers, and next year might be a painful offramp 

    Benford, Bernard & Shakir…re-sign all of them?

    I am sure Beane is going to try. I'll be honest, I'm a big fan of the "draft and develop" model. There are more stories about a high priced free agent from another team failing to live up to the contract than the other way around. You know these guys work with the pieces around them in your system.

     

    Draft for potential high level talent, cover deficiencies with journeymen while you develop, do your best to retain the talent you hit on. It's a formula for long term success.

     

    I honestly suspect that after the end of this year Beane gets one of those three locked up and starts working on the others before the end of 2025.

    Gabe Davis out for season.

    Obviously we have the benefit of hindsight but man, does it look like Beane chose to right time to cut bait on the departing vets:

     

    Diggs: out of the season, was 3rd option 

    Davis: out of the season, underperformed on the woeful Jags

    Poyer: gifted two big plays to let us win, Miami fans hate him

    Morse: doing well but stuck on the Jags

    Dodson: waived now on the Phins

    Dane Jackson: buried on the bench

     

    I know there's luck involved but I can't think of anyone who left who would up in a better situation
