Zach Wilson is, um, awful.

Is there a team who made more bad decisions than Denver did this past off season? The Raiders are close, but at least they can score a touchdown or two.

Watching this Chargers team you have to wonder if they are playing at their ceiling. There's an expectation that they will take the next step ever week, and they never do.

Ear cancer, specifically.

Elliot is running hard tonight.

Give a nod to Beane for bringing in the players, and the coaches putting them into position to win.

It's crazy to Harvey Weinstein too, but here we are. If Watson threatened to use his fame or celebrity to ruin this woman's business or reputation if she did not give him what he wanted, it's an assault.

Somehow this game had less points scored than last week's crap fest.

So I guess Thursday nights are 'Thank God We Have Josh Allen' nights for Bills fans.

Looks like you get a free box of Oreos when you get shot.

The league should force both of these owners to sell their teams.

Would be a better fullback.

The Bills running backs had 11 total carries against the Steelers in a game that was over in the 3rd quarter. Each RB averaged 7 ypc. Hell, Keenum threw the ball 5 times, while Cook carried it only 4 times. And Cook has actually looked good the few times he carried the ball. The Bills spent almost 25 years looking for a franchise QB, and now that they have him, they're not building an offense that gives a running back 20+ carries a game. Daboll recognized this and Dorsey recognizes this. The Bills are bad at running the ball? Well that would mean something if they actually tried to run the ball. At this point in Allen's career, the ball is staying in his hands. RBs are nothing more supporting players in their offense. Trade for CMC? Sure he'll look awesome with his 8 carries a game.

Not really, the independent neurologist is a consultant. If he says Tua is out, he's out. But is he says Tua is okay, there are the team medical and coaching staffs who can say Tua's not going in. Nothing stops the medical staff and coaching staff from sidelining Tua after the consultant clears him. There is still accountability here. You heard this in John Harbaugh's response to the situation. You get the feeling that an experienced NFL coach would trust his own eyes of the hit on Sunday, and make the decision to bench his QB, regardless of the subjective opinion of the consultant. Firing the consultant does not absolve the others who had decision making authority concerning Tua's return.

Miami's defense gives up yards by the bucket.

Everyone knows that you puncture the lung to relieve the pressure of a broken rib. Hell even a veterinarian knows that.

Run the ball, burn the clock, kick the field goal and the game is over. Chiefs are throwing it all over the place.

He was dead tired. No idea why the Chargers were running hurry up with 10 minutes left in the game, 1st and goal. Chargers just make dumb decisions.

It's like he's old enough to have a grown a## son in the NFL.

That's the Chargers. Always feels like they're in control of the game, but they make enough mistakes to keep the scoreboard close.

So this well-run franchise has built their entire franchise around a QB that they don't believe in? The Ravens don't have legit receivers or legit running backs. They have a legit TE and Jackson, but that's it. That's well-run? I remember thinking how the Bills were such a well run organization when they had Tyrod Taylor as their QB. The Ravens are making a bet here they are destined to lose. If Jackson is a mediocre as many claim, there is nothing on that roster that saves their season. The roster beyond Jackson was poor last season, and it's gotten worse this year. If Jackson proves to be better than everyone believes, the Ravens have Flacco-d themselves, again, because Jackson's price will be much more expensive than if they extended him last year. Well-run franchises don't take years to commit to players (and in the Ravens case, their roster-build has already committed to Jackson). Well-run franchises don't wait around and let the market determine the value of their players. Well-run franchises determine their plan, commit to the plan, and stay ahead of the league in executing their plan.

If they are one of the best run organizations, why are they sitting around waiting for the league to drive up the price of their supposedly mediocre QB? They could have saved literally millions if they extended Jackson last season, like Beane did with Allen, before the idiot Browns introduced the league to fully guaranteed contracts. Meanwhile, as the price inflates for Jackson's extension, they're building an offense that only really works for his skillset. So if they cut bait on Jackson, it's not like they could bring in another QB and be successful. They could save money with Huntley, but where would they spend those savings? Guys like OBJ aren't going to play in that offense with Huntley. Huntley isn't leading that team to the playoffs. So it's down to sign Jackson or gamble on an total rebuild of the offense. Longer it takes them to make the decision is going to cost them in dollars or wins.

The Ravens are just kicking the can down the road and they're going to get burned for it. Jackson has accomplished more than Murray, so that contract is a non-starter. They could have signed Jackson last season, like Beane did with Allen, and avoided the escalating insanity in QB contacts, but they sat on the fence as Cleveland dropped Watson's stinkbomb contact on the league. (From now on, every QB is going to be looking for a fully guaranteed contract). The Ravens are in wait and see mode. They aren't convinced they can win the SB with Jackson, but they think there is an outside chance they might. Jackson knows what he wants, agent or no (it's what all top tier QBs are going to want moving foward), the Ravens at this point, don't know what they want and teams who don't know what they want, don't win championships.

Everything involving Wilson is a little weird.

Hopefully they were able to pick their own cake (or pie). Hopefully they were able to pick their own cake (or pie).
