Nyup Parrino and Talbot.
Marino is good on draft analysis. His show bogs down when he spends time reciting biographical information of players, seasonal rankings and statistics of teams and players that can be gleaned elsewhere. Tedious. Show should be 15 minutes tops unless ‘herd mentality’.
I actually like Marino's seasonal rankings and some of the comparative stats he comes up with. Some of it's interesting stuff that I personally wouldn't take the time to look up somewhere else. I agree the biographical info is bit tedious and usually basic info that most football fans already know.
He's also fair in his criticism and praise of the Bills. Doesn't shy away from calling out players or circumstances, but also keeps a good perspective of when the Bills are doing things well compared to the rest of the league.
I did get tired of the same analysis and repetitive takes after the season, so I stopped listening for now. But I'll come back closer to the draft.

I remember when the NFLN Gameday panel was: Mooch, Faulk, Kurt, Sapp and Irvin.
3 down. 2 to go.
Good point. I don’t mind Mooch, but that was a brutal crew

More likely that most people don't want to pay $6500 for a crappy seat, and get gouged at hotel rooms, restaurants, golf courses.... I live in AZ, the pricing at some of these places this week is outrageous. The Phoenix Open is also going on this week so it's really nuts right now.
It’s a good point. The hotels this week in Phoenix are insane. I started looking in November with hopes that the Bills were going and a La Quinta inn on the outskirts of town was over $500 night. I imagine that kept plenty of people away.

Not that it matters to us now, but the cheapest Super Bowl tickets have dropped $2,000 since Monday. They started around $6,000, went up to $6.500 a few days ago & tonight at 12:03 AM they're at $3,600. This is from NFL On Location, fees included. StubHub is seeing the same price drops. They're a little higher than On Location, but have dropped 2 grand too.
That’s interesting. I don’t remember SB ticket prices dropping in recent years. Seemed like you couldn’t get in the stadium for less than.$6,500
including fees the last few years

There really is something to the 5 year rule with coach & QB together. The below article is from mid-season 2017, so it's more than 5 years old. But the principle continues to hold. It also shows that alot of the close call combos, including Levy & Kelly, peaked in year 5.
If you look just at how long it takes a coach to win their first SB with a team, it's a tough stat b/c coaches don't get much more than 5 years if they don't at least reach the SB. Chuck Noll (6 year), Tom Landry (12), John Madden (8) and Bill Cowher (14) And Reid (7) are the only coaches who took more than 5 years to win their first SB with a specific team. Some in different eras than today, but all coaches were consistent winners who just took time to break through.
I am definitely not ready for Bills to move on from McD. But afer the way the playoffs ended the last 2 years, it's at least in my mind.

Yes weird game. I can’t remember a game with so many plays that didn’t count. I feel there were about 5 plays that were run through all the way until player was tackled or incomplete pass. Then after, we learned the play didn’t count due to TO, delay of game, etc
weird situations where the coaches were asking for clarification from refs and game clock kept running. Happed to Bills on Diggs 1-handed out of bounds, and happened to fish at the end of game where they thought it was 1st downs or expected a measurement. It was also strange that they didn’t bring out chains for Singletary’s clinching 1st down.Some long delays like the review of Knox drop in the end zone was 10 mins. I thought it was Obvious after 2 replays.. And then there was glitch with scoreboard clock

Absolutely hate his defensive TOs. Not only today. It allows the Offense to reset, and results are usually bad for Bills. Ex The Chiefs do not complete the Kelce pass to set up GW FG last year, except for that amazingly stupid defensive TO. Today the Dolphins likely don’t score their last TD except for defensive TO and the last 1 where Miami missed on 4th down, cost more than 50
yards of field position after the punt.
I’m a big fan of McD, and give him a ton of credit for Bills recent success. However. I think there are times in big games where he wants to assert some direct responsibility for the outcome. And the unnecessary TOs come back to bite him.

I’m confused why they signed him to the 53 with unlimited call ups? Seems Brown was more deserving of its for contractual reasons.
There’s unlimited call ups for an individual player. But I believe there’s a limit of 2 players called up per game for the playoffs.
Let’s say Brandon Bryant gets called up this week with Settle & Phillips banged up. If you had to use a call up for Beasley too, then you’re stuck if you need another player.

We made Mac Jones look like a franchise QB today what else is there to say ?
That would be a pretty terrible franchise QB. He threw 3 INTs in the 2nd half, and the Patriots only had 24 net yards of Offense in the 4th QTR with their season on the line.

Wow, I’d be shocked if true. Too close to Buffalo, too far from KC. It will be tons of Bills fans depending on how tickets are distributed
If the goal is equidistant, Indianapolis is the answer. Almost right between KC and Buffalo.
let’s hope we really get to worry about the AFCG location.
On 1/6/2023 at 8:03 PM, FLFan said:With Indy and Detroit out, Atlanta becomes the best location. It’s neutral, an NFC city, indoors, easy to get to, time zone friendly and seems available. New Orleans maybe? They could play outdoors, potentially in AZ, but that seems like a more difficult road.
Why is Indy out?

The unequal number of games part contradicts the full 17-game regular season part. Id say the former takes precedence but the NFL is fudging this up royally.
Yes BUF & CIN will have an equal number of games. But if you read the full release, I don’t think they will give home field to 1 team or the other if seeding could’ve changed based on Bills v Bengals outcome.
Sounds like there will be an official decision tomorrow

Nope.
The game was cancelled, so it in effect does not exist. As a result, the Bills would finish 13-3, while the Bengals would be 12-4.
You have to look at it as if the Bills and Bengals weren't scheduled to meet at all this season. There is no tiebreaker because there is no tie. The Bills have the better record, so they host.
That’s not what the league is saying.
From NFL.com“The AFC Championship Game will be played at a neutral site if the participating teams played an unequal number of games and both could have been the number one seed and hosted the game had all AFC clubs played a full 17-game regular season”

No it can’t. If BUF wins, any game against CIN is here. If CIN wins and we lose, we’d have to go thereIf KC loses and BIlls & Bengal both win, then the outcome of Bills v Bengals would’ve decided #1 seed. Since game was canceled AFCG goes to neural site

Bills v Chiefs at Ford field
I thinks it will be Indianapolis. Could also be Bills v Bengals at neutral site

What we tend to forget is that Bills played only 9 minutes on Monday night. This is their week off. And if they get the #1 seed, they would get “week 20” off as well.
Not a prefect solution, but a lot better than just declaring the game a tie or no contest, and virtually handing the #1 seed to KC.
Of course, KC could do the whole league a favor and lose on Saturday vs the Raiders.
Hardly a week off. From a football standpoint, they Lost 2 defensive starters and Allen got rolled up on by the Hendrickson dirty play.
And of course that doesn’t even take into account, Hamlin’s critical condition -
Is it possible that the NFL waits until after the week 18 results, and then decides what to do with Bills v Bengals game? Probably not due to scheduling. But is possible that based on week 18 result the only issue up in the air could be 2 seed or 3 seed. Ex. if Chiefs win, Bengals win, Bills lose. Then Chiefs get #1 seed, and Bengals win AFC North regardless of Bills v Bengals result. If Bills win & they both lose then Bills have #1 seed. Although i think that leaves AFC North in doubt.

For you guys who are saying the Bengals were on the way to blowout, It makes me wonder if you have paid any attention to the Bills first 15 games. Points allowed per quarter is a a good stat to illustrate why the game was far from decided with 50+ minutes to play. The Bills rank 26th in 1st QTR points allowed, but are 2nd to the 49ers in points allowed per game.
Yes CInci came out fast and physical. But the Bills looked like the were going to have an effective ball control O and Josh Allen had his big game attitude and focus going. The Defense has shown the ability to adjust and get stops. They're not the #2 scoring defense by luck

Key difference is that when they were 7-4 and 8-3, both teams played an easy schedule. When they started playing tough teams, they got exposed.
That’s mostly true. But earlier in the season they were beating mediocre teams like the Seahawks and Patriots who they lost to today. And our very own Bills lost to both the Fish and the Jets, before beating both the 2nd time around.
Miami especially can’t win on the road. They had a front loaded home schedule to build up their 8 - 3 mark. 4 out of 5 losses won their current skid have been away.

It's great because the Dolphins have had their own epic collapse, also losing 5 in a row to go from 8 - 3 to 8 - 8. I think the Dolphins collapse is even worse b/c there plenty of people saying they would overtake the Bills and win the division. Don't think any reasonable person was picking the Jets to win hte division.
Funny thing is that 1 of them is going to win next week.

No proof but just seemed like this guy was more steroid than athlete. Probably a first ballot HOF inductee because before the injuries set in he was being compared to LT in terms of dominance on the defensive side of the ball.
I have no idea if he took steroids or not. But I have heard many NFL teammates and opponents talk about how impressive an athlete and football player. I think he was blessed with amazing natural ability and has been a special athlete for his size, even by NFL standards, and a super hard worker.
His best years you can put against any d-lineman that ever played. I thinks he's the only player with more than 1 20-sack season.

Watched the replay of Cincinnati & NE. #77 Adeniji played very well after Collins was hurt. Don’t think the Bengals will lose much w Adeniji playing.
And BTW, Cincinnati dominated that game. A few fluke plays like tipped ball TD on 3rd & 29 and Jamar Chase fumble gave NE a chance late. Bengals are going to be a tough match up for the Bills.

27 dead is a major disaster. You would have no idea it happened outside Buffalo. In Rochester? Barely mentioned. Nationally? Even less.
I've had work associates from Florida and Puerto Rico ask me about the storm and how people are doing in Buffalo. It's been major news

You can't be serious.. he got coffee for manning and then when he left to go be OC somewhere else.. the offense wasn't good. Then he got a HC job.. and the offense wasn't very good then he got ANOTHER HC job and.. can you guess how the offense was? I bet you can!
It's a good comparison between Gase and Hackett. Both were OC's for all-time great QBs who were late in their careers. So Manning and Rodgers didn't need a strong hand at OC. Plus both Denver in those years and GB in Hackett's years had excellent Defenses to support the team.
The Super Bowl winning team just gave up 35 points in a Championship game.

The Eagles probably score 42 or at least 38, if not for a historically bad call by the refs. Horrible way to end the Super Bowl
