If I was an NFL GM I would never have any RB on anything but a rookie deal.

"You know him as the Scottish Hammer" I most certainly do not, Steve.

I think you'd also end up with Dawkins holding a severed arm and Feliciano a severed leg.

Cancel the game and have that chubby Ravens fan fight the chubby Browns fan.

I've been reading for weeks about how we match up poorly with Cleveland. I don't see it at all.

3 fumbles by wide receivers and 0 turnovers in one quarter is some ridiculous luck.

If you don't like procedural penalties and fullbacks dropping passes THEN YOU DON'T LIKE NFL FOOTBALL.

Allen will murderize the Browns defense if we play them.

99.8%. Even if we lose out, Miami wins out and Baltimore wins out (9 games going against us) we have a 47% chance. We're in. Everyone should root for who they like best in this one.

Fun fact - in high school I puked into a small garbage can in JC Tretter's bedroom.

One underrated thing is that the Raiders absolutely need a Ravens loss here so if the Ravens win you can imagine Gruden's smarmy face turning into a frown.

Assuming standard scoring I'd say you've got at least 90% odds.

Yeah divisional games tend to be closer. But I think the more Lynn plays for his job the dumber he gets. The shine on Herbert has also worn off the last 3 games, presumably as teams have gotten more tape. We shall see!

Aside from the Jets there aren't two teams I trust less to go into Arrowhead and beat the Chiefs than the Chargers and Falcons. Not saying it can't happen but those two teams have made an art form out of losing tragically this year. Yesterday they played one another and just traded turnovers in the last 2:00 until the Chargers finally acquiesced to win.

I think the drought-era Bill that would improve us most right now is Fred Jackson. He had an uncanny savvy for picking up short first downs and turning 1 yard gains into 5 yards gains (Singletary and Moss both do this occasionally with pure effort but Freddie just knew how to hit tiny holes with the body control to fall the right way).

Of course the natural ending to that story is finally putting all those life lessons to work and winning! But if we ever did like the Pats and won 3 in 4 years I'd probably not recognize the team as the Bills anymore. Too much for my brain to handle 😆

I get that. Funny thing is, you could argue whomever wins the SB this year will be the most impressive SB winner of all time due to the absurdly high level of default adversity. But in the public memory it will always be the weird season where everything was different.

Would be a huge loss for them. He's unironically their best player.

Well I'm not even suggesting that Lawrence would pull an Eli and refuse to play for them or anything, just that no promising player would want to land on the Jets in their current state. It's a franchise that's showed an embarrassing lack of good judgment. And no, I don't think the 1st overall pick always belongs to a team with awful prospects moving forward. Oftentimes it's a hard luck team or a tremendously inexperienced one. Trust me, I want y'all to bounce back. The NFL season is more entertaining with well played divisional rivalry games. I only want the Pats to go 0-16 each year from now until eternity

I'll rephrase. The player they're tanking for shouldn't want anything to do with them, and I would personally guess he doesn't.

I am genuinely grateful that neither Ralph Wilson nor the Pegulas ever had the lack of self-respect to do what the Jets did this year. Even the 3-13 or 4-12 years were game efforts. The thing is, the player that the Jets are intentionally tanking for wants absolutely nothing to do with the franchise nor does any free agent.

*Thousand yard stare*

I think he knew he was down by contact but ended up doing a return just in case. I assume this was after the James Washington TD which was a really bad play for Levi. He got spun all the way around.

I don't know who it was but that Steelers player who interrupted the interview seemed genuinely happy that Josh had won and it was like 2 minutes after the final whistle. Honestly I'd be pissed seeing that if I was a Steelers fan.

I feel like trap games exist in other sports where you play another game the next day but not in the NFL. They spend the whole week preparing for the next opponent.
