I called this with my friends and family when it was 27-0. I've lived in San Diego for a decade.

Hurts had a great year, no doubt. You can definitely make an argument for him based on the numbers. I just think he really benefitted from having a very weak schedule and a much stronger supporting cast than Josh, but that's not Hurts' fault.

Yep. I'd love to complement Cook and Hines with a big, strong, one cut and go type of guy - like what we had with Karlos Williams during his lone season.

Hurts is the shiny new toy and he was having a great season (albeit against a Charmin soft schedule) before his injury. But yeah, it's hard to see him making it over Allen and Burrow.

Wow. Heck of an honor for Milano! Way more impressive than a Pro Bowl selection.

The guy is made of glass. Putting him out there in week 18 for a meaningless game has to be one of the dumbest decisions of all time. You absolutely needed his playmaking ability if you were going to make a run in the postseason. Staley is an idiot. Any other organization in the NFL would can his @zz, but luckily for him, he has a cheapskate owner who is about 3x as dumb as he is. Never forget that Spanos fired a 14-2 Schottenheimer and replaced him with Norv freakin Turner.

Thanks. I hadn't read that anywhere. I was assuming the he was put in the 21 day window since he was completely cleared to play. That's the way the reporting made it seem a few days ago. I knew he'd been wearing the red jersey, but I thought it was just because he was working his way back from the lengthy absence. If he hasn't been cleared for contact, then it seems that placing him in the 21 day activation window was, at best, a Hail Mary by the Bills, and it's really much ado about nothing as for our hopes of seeing him play this postseason.

I've already got a hotel room booked in Phoenix that weekend. Now I just need the Bills to get there.

Is this true? I haven't read that anywhere and it doesn't make sense that he's practicing if he's not cleared by his doc.

San Diego - Bay Park neighborhood.

Dang. That's some crappy news to start the weekend. Probably the Super Bowl at best based on Sean already ruling him out for the Bengals game. ☹️

Great person and great story, but he's merely a good player. Let's reserve the Wall for the franchise greats.

None of the guys from the drought era belong. The only two guys that arguably deserve consideration , imo, are Eric Moulds and Ruben Brown. Moulds at his best was elite and truly one of the best WRs in the league. As much as I love guys like Fred Jackson and Kyle Williams, they were never all-pro types and only have a single playoff appearance between them. Not WOF worthy.

Lol. Yes, I'd take a Super Bowl vs. a losing team. What kind of question is this?

He didn't practice today and they've reported he still has significant swelling in his knee. There is no chance he plays this weekend.

Lamar isn't playing. Huntley is likely out too. So that leaves another road game in Cincy for Anthony Brown. Get ready for Bills vs. Bengals in 10 days fellas.

Well, he'll only have at most 1 kick return opportunity depending on the coin flip. Oh wait, I forgot about all of the kicks following the probable safeties.

Assume he's clowning on Tyreek, no?

If he's smart, he'll hedge that with a $10 Bills moneyline bet.

I guess I'm just an optimist, but you're right, there's a chance he doesn't see the field this year and I'm okay with that. Until then, I'm going to continue to remain optimistic and excited about his chances of contributing to a playoff run.

He was already jumping around the ICU this past Sunday, so that's a good sign. I doubt he just wants to sit around all day in his apartment. I'd assume he'd be back in the facility by this weekend. And I'm guessing he'll be feeling pretty good by this Sunday at 1PM. Not sure he'll be "leading the charge", but they will absolutely have him down on the field before the game to honor him and have him wave to the fans. The place is going to be nuclear on Sunday. Poor Fins.

He's been working out and is reportedly in great shape. He just wasn't cleared for contact. My guess is he'll be ready to go by the AFC championship game at the latest.

Yeah, let's just hope it isn't a Skylar Thompson 30 for 30. I keed i keed. 😄

We know nothing of his mental state. He could be itching to get back on the field. I wouldn't completely rule out a return by the Super Bowl.

I'm convinced that being born in the dark of a Buffalo winter (January) has somehow led to my lifelong seasonal affective disorder. But you're right, strangely enough, I found the warm winter sunshine in Los Angeles even more depressing than the gloom when I moved there at 18. You'd be walking to class in that blinding golden sunshine and something would just feel terribly wrong with the world. Lol. On the other hand, it was really nice to play golf this Monday in shorts and a polo. I guess I've learned to live with it. 🙂
