So if Cook doesn't go this week, do we think Davis sees the majority of carries or will it be Ty? (for fantasy football purposes, of course)

Internet doc saying Cook's ankle could be high sprain varierty and he should sit this week.

It's Wednesday. If Cook isn't practicing by Friday I'll be a bit concerned.

Well, this is why it's called a "hot take" -- some good discussion in here.

So it sounds like you're essentially agreeing that Burrow is not in those three QBs' echelon -- which is really my point. He's a good QB but I am not sold on him as a "put the team on my back" elite guy, which those three clearly are.

If you replace Allen, Mahomes, or Jackson with Burrow, what do you think happens to the fortunes of the Bills, Chiefs, and Ravens? Serious question.

Aside from the first AFCCG the margins of victory in the other playoff matchups are 6, 3, and 3 points. If that's your definition of taking someone to school, carry on, brother.

I've been stumping for Cook ever since he was drafted. He excited me as a draft pick then, and he's become everything and more to this offense. I've called him "this team's Thurman" many times and it is a perfect parallel.

Sure. I mean, as we all know, the fans on a team's message board have their fingers right on the pulse of everything happening. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Do you not believe KC viewed Sunday's game as hugely important to their season?

Just to be clear, I’m not by any means saying Burrow isn’t an above average QB. I’m simply suggesting he’s a significant step below the truly elite signal callers in the game today. He’s top 15 in the league for sure.

…that perhaps Joe Burrow ain’t so “elite” and is more the product of a pretty fantastic set of weapons. Flame away.

The Bills, Chiefs, and Ravens (if healthy) are still (IMO) head and shoulders above the Colts, Chargers, Broncos, and Pats***. Does that mean Denver won’t beat KC next week? No, but I’ll be mildly surprised if they do. The Pats*** would have lost to Atlanta last week if not for horrific game management by the Falcons. The Colts let a crappy defense make Danny Dimes look like the guy he was in NY. The Chargers let the Titans hang around for way too long. The Broncos have had to come from behind in almost every game…they are doing what KC did last year in winning all of the one-score games.

For a team going nowhere this year or next, the Jets made out very well. The problem, as many have pointed out, is that they still have a bottom 2-3 owner and a history of screwing up just about everything they do. Is Aaron Glenn going to be a good HC? So far the jury is certainly out.

“Hear me out” — the great nullifier of everything that follows. 😂

Super weird. There are some things that just shouldn’t be done, even if it’s possible to do them.

In the big pool (900 entries) I’m in it’s down to 99. I’ve used most good teams and this week is tough, but there are a few options: Bears over Giants (that’s who I’m probably going with) Panthers over Saints Bucs over Pats*** A really outside the box pick would be Cleveland over the Jets…risky as hell but I think the Browns’ defense will completely shut them down.

This is such a b.s. narrative, that “stretching the field” is what the Bills need and lack. No defense plays the Bills in such a way that receivers are going to get free deep. The Bills must beat teams in the short and intermediate passing game, and they have more than enough competent players to get that done. This 3-headed TE monster is a nightmare matchup for most defenses, who also have to account for Cook and the running game. Shakir is a YAC beast. With Palmer coming back and Josh gaining more trust in Moore, I don’t see the need for hand-wringing over the offense.

He didn’t keep it up against a very mediocre defense last week.

I’m sure he was on the phone, but I respect Beane not making a crazy offer for somebody when you’ve got a team as closely knit as the Bills. What I’ve seen for the past two weeks is a team learning who they are and looking pretty damn good. This 3-headed TE monster they have built is legit, and with Palmer coming back I’m pretty content with Palmer/Shakir/Moore/Coleman. The Bills are still one of about five teams I think are true SB contenders, even without making a move. We now need some luck (injuries) going forward.

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Good on you.

Don't hold your breath.

Do the Colts still have Daniel Jones? [checks roster] Nothing to see here...

So glad the Bills didn't make a deal for Meyers...doesn't move the needle for me at all. The Bills showed on Sunday night that they can feature their TEs in the passing offense with some occasional WR involvement. If Palmer comes back shortly I think we are ok for this season. Would much rather have them look at DT help.

Agree completely. Best option is to take an Uber to one of the two lots where there is a free shuttle to and from the stadium. Google "Geico HRS Express" for info.
