Good point. And for the record, I took no joy in watching Hauschka struggle. I think the Falcons will give the Jets a run for their money.

In all fairness, I believe that Texans game had less to do with the coach being fired and more to do with the fact that Minschew is not remotely close to the QB people make him out to be.

His trade value has to be shot at this juncture. The worse part is that even if they can get something for him, they still have Gase. I genuinely don't understand how the owners don't see him for the virus that he is.

If I was still a gambler, I'd jump on the Bills to cover tonight, in large part because the Titans haven't really had the opportunity to practice together in any real capacity. But I'm not a gambler anymore because I sucked at it, and the former gambler says to stay away from a game that has a couple of relatively unprecedented variables which few could even hope to understand. Keep your winngs for a more reliable bet.

I find this comment pretty suspect: In what world does anyone think the Chiefs simply didn't give enough attention to playing a division rival who was on the ropes? Or this....

Most? Yes. All? 😬

Giants entered today's game with 3 TDs on the season.

In all fairness, you wouldn't want to be here to read a thread started by a Fish after losing to them at home for the first time in what seems like the past century.

If he loses to the Giants, he may be done this afternoon.

Bucky Brooks wrote a savage article on the Cowboy's D this pas week. Should be on NFL.com if you can find it. Basically, the players admit to not going 100% and he points out plays where they just let the Browns win because of their lack of effort. That, and the Giants D is not half bad is why I liked Giants plus 9 1/2.

You should have Red Zone channel, yes? He'll always keep the close high-profile games on as much as possible, while simultaneously apologizing for showing the Jets.

Good luck. There's 3 minutes let and Pitt ball. Can Big Ben score?

Greg Roman stat of the day: Ravens are 31st in passing offense.

Bills fans: always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Pastor: Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? Bills Fan: Yes, but can we pick up the pace and get to the part where she cheats on with the the best man.

The gift that a true Bills fan would want: $350 used Stephon Gilmore pants. And I thought I was a bit off for spending $20 on a couple of boxes of cereal.

I can't believe I remembered that wrong, but it looks like I'll have all month to be reminded.

Frankly, I don't give a crap about this stuff until the NFL shows it's a money grab. I lost my mother to cancer when I was 11, but it's difficult for me to express how ridiculous the game looked with everyone draped in pink for a month. Having everyone draped in rainbows will look equally stupid, but hey...gotta move the merchandise. One thing I'll give the NFL credit for: they can have their icons of social justice, whether it's Kaep or Sam. They can even cut Jerry a deal to draft Sam so they have their icon. But icon or not, if you suck at this sport, no one is keeping you on payroll. There's no justice in losing.

New Covid penalty.

I'm not sure how anyone can watch the first four weeks of NFL this year and think that under normal circumstances the Bills would have a 30% chance of beating the Chefs. There is no question the Bills have shown defensive chinks in the armor with the underneath/TE stuff, where Mahomes thrives. And their rookie running back is a legit threat in run and pass. But the difference this year is that the Bills appear much better poised to go toe-to-toe from a scoring standpoint. If Allen continues his stellar play, there is no way you look at the game and think it has a high probability of being a loss.

As a side note, I've been reluctant to subscribe to the Athletic, but a dollar a month for six months and cancel anytime? Tough times for online content.

I would maintain one of the most important things McDermott did to make this happen when he first arrived was get Kyle Williams to buy in. He took one of the most respected guys in the locker room, explained his plan and essentially said "We get there faster if you're in." You have to wonder how things would have worked out in NJ if Gase sat down with Adams in that regard.

Thanks for the post. I'm curious what it was that had you thinking before the season started that the team would be in the crapper? I didn't expect them to be world beaters, but I didn't expect them to be this bad. Were you suspect of the new OL?

Adding an extra week doesn't work if one team has to catch up multiple games. While I'm not a fan of pushing this game, I would much rather push it out than do something like throw another team in the mix. But that's based almost exclusively on the idea that having an extra week to rest and prepare for KC would be crunk. Is that right? Crunk? Did I use that right? I'm so effin' old.

Absolutely agree. It'd be a great story if he could make it back on the field. Still think one of the oddest things was that his gruesome injury occurred on the anniversary of Theismann's gruesome injury.

I know Jarvis Landry is not a quarterback, but if you watched his pass to OBJ this weekend from the 42, you get a sense of what a normal athlete has to do to throw a ball 42 yards. A full wind-up to let it go. Then you watch people like Rodgers and Allen snap their wrists for 60 yards and love what you're seeing.
