literal choke hold

well he's buried in Canton. COINCIDENCE?!??! Well yes but it won't hurt

I need to start warming up. Otherwise I'll pull something going between "We're back!" and "FIRE EVERYBODY!" On a more serious note, while today is absolutely not the end of the season I think a loss today is likely a severe blow to our #1 seed hopes from earlier. The Colts keep winning as do the Patriots, Broncos and Chargers I thought that was your ex

well it's gameday why does it feel like execution day?

What I keep telling myself is this: Gave Davis did exactly what you're supposed to do in the NFL. He worked hard, made the most of his chances and is an NFL caliber player. The problem is that he's a rich team's WR 4 and a poor team's WR 2. WR2 is probably the most overpaid position in the NFL and the Jaguars offered a sum of money wildly disproportional to his capabilities. That's not his fault, nor is it that Beane hasn't managed to get anyone who is appreciably better. So welcome back Gabe, I wish we didn't need you.

I'd put Walker at the one and let Hoecht use that motor at 3 tech

I'm warming to the idea of a Walker/Hoecht front

I'm more surprised they played Hoecht there. I know positional flexibility was a big plus but DT?

I have the game recorded. I saw Walker had a huge splash play how did he look overall?

holy schnikes really

I have to think he's getting close to ready since you don't have to open it at all. Sadly he probably won't be ready for KC but I'll take it

Jesus, who banged the wife of the NFL head of refereeing. Two games in a row brutal ticky tak calls going one direction

Ducking Autocorrect! Not about calling Jacksonville the Jagoffs

I'll say this: at this current rate it is more appealing than you might think. The Phins biggest offensive liability is the O-line. They've started to rebuild but had bad injuries and this always takes time, even when you have a wizard like Kromer. For all that I hate the Tua hype and think he's the product of inflated stats and his supporting cast he's a top half of the league starter. If Brady thinks he's hit the limit and wants to start with a rookie I am positive someone will throw picks at a trade. Even if Hill never comes back Waddle is a WR1 and they have a strong run game. Everyone Eats would work fine there. my biggest concern with McDaniel as OC is I don't think he has the game awareness for play calling. he's a brilliant play designer but some people here think Brady gets too cute and that is 200% McDaniel

At this point I just want a win. Get the the bye, get back your injured and suspended players, and get ready In the last week we saw KC lose to the Jagoffs just to beat the Lions, so let's not pretend that trans mail in games let's just bounce back

I think the most vocal detractor was Joe Marino. I think a lot of the podcasters were pumping the brakes because while they saw upside the back injury and build, combined with playing as a single gapper mean he was he wasn't seen as a run stuffer and more of a 1-tech pass rusher. Being in the 4th round as a high reward low risk pick. That he is already one of the best run stuffers on the team, and has flashed those pass rushing skills as well has him easily top 2 in our most immediately impactful rookies and no disrespect to Hawes, Walker's ceiling is much much higher. He's already exceeded what I would have considered a success for the season and Beane might have found a top tier player in the 4th round. Can we have Beane just draft defenders 4th round and back?

While I am enjoying the Jackson Hawes story, if I'm going to pick who is the rookies is going to be bona fide star it's Walker

The only thing I'm shocked about is that the Bills have a single above average run defender

I will say, right now, at this moment, Kincaid if the most reliable receiving threat we have and this is looking like the promise we saw two years ago I'm not giving up hope on Keon but right now I'm feeding Kincaid

What? That can't be right! Lawrence won!

oh thank God the chiefs lost

you cannot tell me that in one quarter the Bills have committed five penalties and the Pats have none, especially as I watched Maye turf a ball in the pocket to avoid a free runner

Especially while missing the most obvious intentional ground call ever

I think it's that we've seen stretches of play in the last two weeks where we see the Bills have a stretch where they inexplicably stall and start to let a clearly inferior team back into the game and while I don't think the Pats are world beaters or even close to as good as the Bills right now Vrabel is coaching them up and could take better advantage of stallouts I'm hoping for a dose of Primetime Josh

I guess I'm the odd one out because, God help me, I actually get along fine with them. Maybe it's the inherent seeping corruption of NJ or marrying an Eagles fan but I shall describe to you the most I've been heckled by an Eagles fan *Walking down the street in a blue and red hoodie* E: Hey! Are you a Giants fan? Me: No, Bills E: Oh. *Walks away* The ones I know in person generally know ball, have a reverence for fringe journeyman players of the 00s like we do to Fitz, Stevie and Freddy. They bluster but don't really go at it until you jaw back...or are a Cowboys fan, and that is levels of being a hater that I can get behind.
