I know this would cost an arm and a leg but Higgins would be the final piece of a Coleman and Shakir trio.

***** you

The signs were something like they aren't 100% but good enough to play. Concussion protocol is out of the teams hands In lieu of church I shall recite: 5 Mr. Brightside 1 Better Days 1 Bills Mafia Anthem Amen

Any word on Benford's status? At this point that's my biggest X Factor

Edibles usually go for about 8-10 hours. Or so I've been told

The next 10.5 hours will be nervous energy, followed by 3 hours of panic and then rapture or despair So a normal game day people!

I knew I was forgetting one. Yar, as much as it would suck for us Brady reuniting with Burrow makes too much sense if Zac Taylor gets kicked to the curb (which we kind of already deserves IMHO)

I'm thrilled to have him back but at this point I honestly think it's the right thing for him personally. I could maybe see the Bears with a young QB to mentor, cap space and picks. Heck I hate the Cowboys but competent HC work with a mid-tier starting QB could have worked. But if the last seat is the Saints? They are $50 million over the cap with Derek Carr as their QB. That is, at best, a multi-year project. Next year has looming questions for the Colts, Browns, Seahawks, Cardinals, Panthers and Falcons. I think he'd have better luck there.

To be fair, he's not ashamed. He's ass-shamed. Maybe he just has a undesirable rear end

To me this is what Brady does that Dorsey never did. If he sees a tendency that he thinks can be exploited he builds the gameplan around that. If winning means Josh has less than 200 combined yards he does it and Josh has bought in enough that he is fine with that. I wanted us to keep Diggs. We do not have this offense had he remained.

He's not wrong. If the Bills were playing from behind I expect they would have turned it on. Josh threw it deep on that first drive. But that was followed by two Ravens turnovers with the run and short pass game productive and clicking up until halftime at which point clock management and avoiding the big turnover becomes a thing. If Andrews catches that 2 point conversions I suspect the limits would have come off

One fewer team in the running for Brady (not that I think he'd jump ship for that Trainwreck). The Lions needing to deal with brain drain. No issues found in this sector captain.

Anything that has a higher chance of Joe Brady staying another year

I saw a Ravens fan reaction video today and his question was simple: What on Earth can we do from a roster perspective that leads to a different result? They have a 2 time, likely 3 time MVP under center (leaving aside whether those are deserved). They have a HoF running back and an All Pro Fullback. They have a Pro Bowl WR1 and TE1s. They have 2 more All Pros on defense. If the coaching staff can't get to the Conference Finals with that roster, what else can they do? Ownership might decide that a decent HC is easier to find than another QB

He is available IIRC. I think it's telling that he has never been elevated shows that McDermott would have rather taken the chance on playing Cole Bishop. But if Rapp is hard out, I can see a chance.

Whew yesterday was a great win. I'm ready for the next round. Let's get the monkey off our back. If there is a year to do it, are we getting a better year?

Believe me, I would much rather have it this way than the other way around but the doublethink on some of these guys is incredible. It's stunning that the Ravens lost because their roster is so amazing that the media voted them into the Pro Bowl and All Pro lists...but somehow the guy who blew out so many wins that he effectively sat for two games doing so with an inferior squad is less impressive?

I knew it was coming, but all the morning shows have spent more time talking about how great Lamar Jackson is than how the Bills won

Let's be completely honest, if the positions were reversed we wouldn't hear the end of the narrative about Josh Allen turnovers

Yeah the immediate takeaway seems to be that the media figures absolutely thought the Ravens were going to roll the Bills

No I hear you. As I said to my Ravens friend currently in crisis: "There no one better than the Ravens at 100%. I'd feel worse for you if they hadn't done this BS at least twice before"

There is a person who I consider a friend who is a Ravens fan. He is utterly melting down now

I was thinking earlier today "Man, if the Bills win this would be the first time I am actually looking forward to Nick Wright be a condescending prick." Though I feel dirty saying this...I think Nick Wright has had the most reasonable Bills takes this season. He still sees them on a tier lower than KC, but everyone else has been talking about how the Ravens were expected to "impose their will"

I am not going to lie my thought as they started driving was "Oh thank god they gave enough time for Josh to get FG goal drive working" This was the platonic ideal of a Sean McDermott defense: bends, holds at the right moment.

I watched of the games to some extent. Nothing felt as impactful as this. Maybe it's because it's our team but that felt brutal
