Joe Burrow is an NFL QB. Joe Burrows doesn't play in the NFL. Here in Cincinnati, there are twin girls in my son's grade. Their last name is Burrows. Some last names have an "s" at the end and some don't.

I know this is SO obvious but the 1 seed isn't just about the rest. It's about having to win only one game (at home) to get to AFCCG. That's huge!

We have a lot of "near superstars" which is better than having just 1-3 true superstars . . . And we play particularly well as a team.

That's fair - I wasn't considering the effect of weather conditions.

Browns are a lot more competitive with Winston - They'll win about half of their remaining games and impact the playoff seeding for sure. The only teams I'd really be worried about playing are Chiefs, Ravens, Texans, Chargers roughly in that order. Bengals would be a concern but I don't see them making the playoffs. Hope the teams in the North beat the crap out of each other!

I have never been a fan of "Bills Mafia" personally. So I'm being consistent. So funny that some here immediately make this political and call people libby's, etc. This is not a political discussion. It's in bad taste IMHO, that's the point. No one (or very few, I assume) are "outraged" over this.

Agreed, but that is an important subtlety here: The (theoretical) drunken idiots likely didn't even conceive of how what they did might be perceived. In an ideal world, you need to step in the shoes of others and realize it's in poor taste and could be taken as a racial slur. And also in poor taste for other reasons.

Nailed it! Thanks.

I am not a cancel culture/politically correct kind of guy. But in my opinion, and my opinion only, hanging a kermit is in poor taste for several reasons. Feel free to disagree. I am not losing any sleep over it, and I am sure the media will blow it way out of proportion, as they always do.

My personal opinion is that it's in poor taste. Sure, it's funny and basically harmless but the insinuation of violence and (very likely unintentional) suggestion of a lynching is surely offensive to some.

Way, way too many for any sane person. Probably 30-35.

Incredible game and win. Very much a team effort and so happy to see Samuel and Cooper contribute. Shakir is nails! Defense was great too. Even Von got a sack. Seems like both our O and D can find multiple ways to get the job done. That 26-yard run by Josh was totally nuts! We unleashed “running josh” a little more today since it was a big game. Fu@k Mahomie and the Chiefs!

The reason why one might not trade Allen for Mahomes is that you should evaluate them as if they had been in the same circumstance (i.e., apples to apples). And for all of Mahomes' success relative to Allen, the argument could be made that M is a huge benefactor of coaching, scheme, etc. As some have said, would Alllen have had similar crazy amounts of success if he had been the Chiefs QB instead of Mahomes? And how would Mahomes have done here instead of Allen? I think the two QBs are both extremely good. It's a close call IMHO.

Going to go against the grain and common sense and predict a Bills blowout! Bills 31, Chiefs 17 (with 7 coming late in 4th during garbage time). Chiefs turn the ball over 2-3 times, Bills on fire most of the game.

Hopefully 2-2 after Sunday

Dead wrong - AZ holds a playoff spot. And I'd argue we have other "quality" wins e.g. most recently against the Fish. That said, I understand we've had a fairly easy schedule - Toughens up alot over the next several weeks and will be a good test.

It's also hard to flip a coin twice and have it be heads both times. What happens in the regular season has basically no bearing on the outcome of the (theoretical) playoff game. We've lost in the playoffs NOT because we won in the regular season. We've lost because of a laundry list of reasons unrelated to the outcome of the prior game earlier in the season. The only caveat is that the two games might be weakly related in the sense that teams learn something about each other from the earlier game and can adjust in the later game.

Ray Davis and Groot.

To the splash plays point, I'd be curious to see what % of plays he's a key part of a turnover (interception/fumble recovery/forced fumble). Seems like that percentage would be pretty high and maybe calls for a bit more snaps at times? Who knows but I think he's quietly gotten better. : )

For me, it's a toss up, and I see good/bad with either outcome. I just hope it's a very physical game with a lot of hard hits!

Ha ha! He does it once in a while on a street near me without much traffic

We have a guy in my neighborhood that is always barefoot - And besides general walking, he does sprints in the middle of the street too. Seems like a pleasant guy but I don't know him at all. Curious whether his situation is similar to yours?

My uninformed hunch is we're looking at 2-3 weeks out for Coleman (not too bad, all things considered, and good timing with the Bye week).
