Stayed home under a state of emergency, took a shower at halftime to wash the first half stink off me.

Here's the 4 key 2023 FA's Edmunds - Cap Hit, 12.7 MM - Mkt Value 14.3 [but someone will overpay] Poyer - Cap Hit 10.8M - Mkt Value 11.0 [Is Rachel done with Buffalo winters] Motor - Cap Hit 2.8M - Mkt Value 5.9 Saffold [haha] Cap Hit - 4.2M - Mkt Value 5.4 [$2.0 MM dead cap in 2023] Also coming up Davis [2024 fa] - Cap Hit 1.1M - Mkt Value 13.5 [again someone will overpay] Oliver [2024 fa] - Cap Hit 10.7 [5th Yr] - Mkt Value 12.5 Some food for thought here.

Except that Cousineau was a middle linebacker, not a quarterback. His rights, traded to the Browns for picks including a first rounder, eventually yielded a quarterback named Jim Kelly.

Jim Ringo is in the Hall of Fame, but as a coach was below the Mendoza line 3-20 record. Make that a 50 burger

Watching Denver vs. the Rams, absolutely NO chance that KC loses to them. Rams are without a ton of weapons and still hanging a 40 burger on the ponies.

After this, I looked ahead to Cinci, who supposedly has great receivers. In terms of speed at skilled positions, Bills actually grade out a bit better than Bengals. Chase is the fastest at 4.38, McKenzie is our fastest at 4.42. Cook 4.42 is faster than Mixon 4.45, Knox 4.59 is faster than Hurst 4.67, Diggs 4.46 is faster than Boyd 4.52 and Davis and Higgins are a push at 4.54.

Wonder how Nantz and Romo feel about doing a meaningless game on Christmas Day.

Yeah, wonder if the braces most OL's wear have anything to do with it. Also OL's not expected to run 21 mph to cover the likes of Hill or Jefferson. Looks like Hakeem Adeniji is next man up, played 65 snaps yesterday 6-5 300 3rd year - played at Kansas in college.

Tua didn't show a lot of pocket presence there. Holding penalties may be taking their toll.

put a fork in Rodgers, he's done

Key matchups Tre White vs. Chase Jackson, Johnson, Elam vs. Higgins & Boyd Milano vs. Mixon Pass Rush getting to Burrow, Cinci's O-line is pedestrian, and Collins may be out. Can Groot have a TJ Watt type of day, esp if he lines up against a backup LT? Allen needs to eliminate the mistakes, and Dorsey needs to scheme against Cinci's meh corners.

Over to the left sideline as I recall

Bills flight DL 8859 left gate in Chicago at 10:23 EST and is scheduled to land in Rochester at 11:53 EST.

I know they signed Beasley & Brown and are barely using them. Think they are both down to 1 PS callup before playoffs. Is Shakir good enough in the slot, or do we consider using Cook or Hines there in situations. Hope this vaunted Bills defense comes to play on Monday in Cinci, we will need their best game Apparently when Cinci lost at the Browns, they were without Chase and Browns tee'd off on Burrow. Come on Bills, you can do this!

So Bobby Hart got more snaps than Q'berry Gabe gets more snaps than DIggs Phillips got 15 snaps before injury, but none of our DL played more than 43 snaps. I thought Jonathan had some nice moments. I think we'll be OK.

Allen was misfiring on a couple of cylinders, but we still beat the Bears, in difficult weather, by the largest margin of any of their opponents this year. Jets won by 21, Cowboys by 20 earlier this year.

I'll be interested to see what speed mph Motor and Cook were clocked by Next Gen on their TD runs.

It was in FG range, but I think with the day our kicker was having, the percentages were probably better trying to convert the 4th and run clock. Our kicker was apparently not alone today in having issues.

Pats Choke on the Cinci 5 yard line.

28-13 covers the over.

Hines partial redemption there

Cookie - nice tackle

Forgot the penalties

Martin came up solid on that punt.

Hines is making Stevenson and Lil Dirty look competent as KR's
