Rasul is due for an impact game. Lamar is due to throw multiple picks, and/or get destroyed on a chunk run when he should have slid instead.

Thanks to that game, I got the best night of sleep I've had all week. It was nice to wake up in a world where the Giants and Cowboys both suck out loud.

Bills 32 Ravens 29 Going to be the toughest test for the D so far, but despite having Lamar and Henry, it's not like the Ravens offense are hanging 50 on everyone.

Thug Life!!!

I always associate this song with the dawn of modern Hipsterdom. I guess it makes sense, since the Bills wear skinny pants on game day...

Gotta have at least one championship before we can start talking about changing of the guard. Come on.

McDermott and co. have been amazing at building a confident, disciplined team that communicates well and can execute a sensible game plan. The real test will be how they manage the big games strategically, in real time. This has been the Achilles heal of this regime all along.

It's fun to see Burrow's Bungals getting kicked around, but I wouldn't count them out just yet. They have shown they can right their ship before. It's a long season.

One more series for Josh just to be safe, then methinks it’s Trubisky time.

Trevor Lawrence looking more like Joey Lawrence tonight. Whoa!

And then there's that whole Super Bowl thing.

Dallas and Miami are the only teams that I could absolutely never root for under any circumstances. Lately, Cincy is on my list because Burrow is a massive doosh. This has countered the empathy I once felt for their fan base. Otherwise: Unless they are playing the aforementioned three teams, I will be rooting against: the Pats - For their fan base, to be clear. Not for their success, which I begrudgingly respected. The Jets - Because they are pathetic downstate trashmongers. The Jags - Because Jacksonville. Carolina - A generic team from a soulless city. Ravens - Because of their origin story (and cheesy logo), I can never consider them a legitimate NFL franchise. After that, it's mostly cold indifference, with a handful teams I have a soft spot for.

It’s a small sample size and the Fins pretty much laid an egg. There will be big passing games when the opponent starts scoring. Who cares anyway, I want wins, not passing yards!

Jon Kitna - made a nice career out of a big heart and very little athletic talent. Heywood Jeffires- was on the receiving end of many beautiful Warren Moon spirals.

It's a been a big week for eating cats.

Can we just forget about his draft position for a minute, and remember that Elam is a solid depth CB who knows the playbook? What's left in the cupboard if they trade him? What's the cost of bringing a new guy up to speed? It would have to be a pretty lopsided deal by a desperate NFC contender for Beane to pull the trigger on that. Odds are not good .

We are very fortunate to be in this situation, considering the demise of Tre White and the malaise of Kaiir Elam. Hats off to Beane and co. for managing to replace an enormous amount of unrealized potential with a trade and a day 3 pick.

I'm not saying I agree with it. And it's not just the fans - A recent poll of 103 NFL players had Josh ranked #4. So the perception outside B-lo is that Lamar is the better QB, like it or not.

Is Brian Westbrook unheralded? Maybe not when he was active, but he seems to have been quickly forgotten. His contribution to the McNabb-era Iggles was immeasurable. He was 2/3 their offense, and more on some days.

Rock and Roll Ricky Proehl!

I hate to break it to everyone, but outside Buffalo, Lamar is QB #2. He has 2 MVP awards and just as many superbowl appearances/wins as Josh does.

He's become a really good RB, but knowing the Chiefs, this probably won't make a bit of difference.

The Chiefs are masters of the fourth quarter. They always find a way to move the chains quickly when needed, and they manage the clock perfectly. Most importantly, they never panic and always believe they will come out on top. As long as they can keep the game close through 3 Qs, they will prevail.

They won again, didn't they?

Also on Bass - I never knew how fast he was! He almost ran down Dallas on that KO return TD. Dude has wheels.
