Doc Brown

Me yesterday: I think Bills fans will finally not be so thin skinned when any national commentator doubts us. Me today: I'm an idiot.

Baltimore is one team that I don't want to face. They'll pry win out so I'm guessing they'll get the 5 seed.

Well, maybe Josh only throws for 399 yards against them this time. Miami is by far the weakest team taking advantage of an easier schedule up until last week. They got to play the Jags and Bengals while we played the Titans and Steelers. They've also relied on defensive turnovers/td's and special team td's which isn't sustainable.

So we can play Miami in the first round.

Agreed. Belichick eats rookie QB's for breakfast and I'm sure Tua understands that so I'm not too worried about the his psyche.

Season's on the line. Do you start Fitz in the 2nd half? He's afraid to play us.

My cousin's wife works as a doctor in ER in Columbus, OH. The way and rate these patients die at has gotten to her as she's just mentally exhausted and on the verge of burnout. Yet she keeps working her seven 12 hour shifts a week. I sense in general that front line health care workers aren't getting enough praise.

Looking at the possibility of rationing care in Southern California. In areas like this you should absolutely stay home if you can financially afford to. Here's a little snippet.... This vaccine can't get here quick enough. Instead of trying everything to save a patient, their goal during a crisis is to save as many patients as possible, meaning those less likely to survive will not receive the same level of care they would have otherwise. Doctors will no longer be pulling out all the stops to save a life but instead strategizing about how to keep as many people as possible from perishing.

It seems impressive and I wonder how that stacks up against other 11-3 teams through 14 games throughout NFL history. One major encouraging stat is since the Hell Murray game is our third quarter point differential is plus 30 (48 to18). The first 10 games we had a minus 57 point differential (85 to 142). They finally started eating orange slices at halftime.

Singletary must've read this thread.

I'm glad this win isn't getting to fans heads.

PFF: C+

We've played lights out since that game. Especially our defense. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise.

Gotta get that 2 or 3 seed. The goal is winning the Superbowl and not having to play KC until the AFC Championship game is paramount. Let's hope the Titans and Steelers have horrible games tomorrow.

Anybody know how winning the division impacts our comp picks?

Yes. That's the rule. I'm surprised the NFL hasn't adopted it yet.

He's part of the 12.

Why is Murphy standing out in the cold while all the youngsters are comfortable in their living room or news studio?

Also to clarify as this gets complicated, Fromm is the emergency backup if Allen and Barkley get hurt. Or catch covid.

Singletary, Roberts, and Duke Williams week 17.

I actually like the model (for football where analytics has its limits) because it at least attempts to quantify the qualities of both the offense and defense in those situations. It just doesn't assume team x on offense and team y on defense have the same proficiency.

Whenever I see something like this my first instinct is to look for the flaws in methodology. Unless the result is something that fortifies my preconceived notions. I think this is a brilliantly conceived model and should be considered the gold standard when it comes to analytic based head coaching decisions.

The fact that Trump is in your head all the time and AOC is in a lot of Republican heads show that they're not as dumb as people make them out to be. What she said is absolutely correct in that we need better leaders than Schumer and Pelosi.

Just stay safe as some things are bigger than football. Look at the bright side. It will just make next year home postseason games all the more memorable.
