If NE can get past KC, I think they have as good of a chance to go undefeated as they ever have. Somehow, the NFL has ended up very weak this year, and I don't see another team that can stand in their way.

Everyone but OP

I don't think 10-6 gets it done for you this year without tie-breakers. The Browns and the Chargers are early teams to be wary of taking those spots and the Jags/Houston certainly look like they'll be in the conversation. There's maybe some other teams that will right the ship too. This is a must-win game not just for standing purposes, but it's time we win all the games we're supposed to win like it's no big deal.

As a big fan of Fitz, and a believer that BB is the real magician in Foxboro, I hope that happens for him if it doesn't come at our expense.

The NFL has ruined the sport so much by the need to make it appealing to casual fans who used to just watch the Super Bowl. It's like the late 90's where MLB started juicing the ball so that every child and adult in America and maybe even abroad knew who McGuire, Sosa, and Bonds are. Mediocre QBs are laying down 4k yard campaigns and 5k yardsa re being hit with ease by multiple players a year. Having a slot receiver with the grit to go over the middle and catch a ball in traffic is no longer a valued skill. Having a hard hitting safety who can jar balls or take said receivers out of the game is no longer a valued skill, there are no longer pass rushers who strike fear into QBs, because the QBs have nothing to fear. By turning the game into FlagFootball+, adding insane things to the review process, and making the game about everything besides the game they've watered down the accomplishments in my opinion. I just don't think it's as impressive to win a SB today as it used to be, and generally i don't think fans care as much either. By the time March rolls around everyone has already forgotten. I'd definitely be excited for a win, don't get me wrong. It just wouldn't be as important to me as it was, and that's all on the NFL.

Buffalo management has been hellbent on watering down and commercializing the fan experience since the late nineties. I have nothing but contempt for all of it. It's amazing they aren't on better terms with Goodell, because our management has seemed to be in lock-step with that weasel since he rose to power. It becomes more clear to me with every passing year that the NFL's best years are certainly behind it and they're sliding into the backside of their prime. I hope I get to see a Bills SB win before the game gets completely diluted, but it's already pretty easy to admit that it won't mean as much as it would've 20 years ago. In with the dome, heated seats, personal tablets, valet parking, in stadium restaurants, PSL, $200 tickets, waterslides, ice rinks and basically any other attraction they can offer for people with too much money and too little sense to forget they're at a football game.

That's all true, but ultimately the FA market will decide what he's worth. I'm thinking he gets around $10M a year. Even though everyone has gotten used to saying RBs are a dime a dozen, it isn't really true for good backs. He may not be elite, but he's better than most of the starters int he league I'd wager.

Chargers management has been notoriously inept throughout history though. They should probably pay him unless they're ok with closing their window right now.

He's been commenting on several players/teams. He has a lot of time to kill right now.

I think Eli is going to have to ride it out. Not sure any real suitor could absorb the cap hit this time of year.

NJ giving Miami a run for their money right now. If Darnold stays hurt, I think Fitzy gets them a W

Stone cold post of the century, of the week.

it's a tough call, he did one of those side hits where you try to lead with your shoulder by you really lead with the side of your head, because that's how the human body works. It's bad form and I hate that style of tackle. Unfortunately, Latimer braced for the tackle by leading with the side of his head too. There didn't seem to be any malice in it, just bad technique by two players at the same time.

When he realizes he's getting pressured, he's pretty damn good. He seems to find himself in too many situations though where he loses his pocket presence.

Tua probably deserves to be a 5th round pick based on how he'll do in the pros, but he'll get all the Kyler Murray hype and some team will draft him (likely Phins) at the top of the first.

I don't doubt that we have a different set of morals and how we apply them to ethics but that's not what's at play here. The Author, the OP, and by extension you, seem to be willing to place blame for a crime on customers of a service of which it's highly likely that they have no direct knowledge of. Now if you were to tell me that they were aware of the circumstances, or even sought out such circumstances, ala Epstein, that would be a different matter entirely. I see no evidence presented in this article to even indicate that was remotely the case. What I see is a woman with a drug problem and a pimp that enabled it and then leveraged it. Pretty classic story here. This isn't about a girl kidnapped from a small mid-west town and sold on an underground chinese black-market. My statement about coffee and chocolate hardly seems absurd to me. If you really want to look into where the things you buy come from: clothes, electronics, textiles, etc let alone more dubious products and services like drugs and sex, you could draw a lot of lines from decent upstanding people who pay their taxes, love their family and support their community, to international crime, human trafficking and defacto or even literal slavery.

He's absolutely going to be top-bill on the first ballot.

You might be standing alone there. Eli is as good as most of the QBs in the hall and is a 2 time SB MVP and Champion. He's playing at an fortunate time where we've probably watched the #1,#2,#3 QBs of all time play in the league simultaneously

And so do people who drink coffee or eat chocolate. This is nonsense. There's no reason to exaggerate the point here. Bills players involved in prostitution, ok sure. Bills players involved in human trafficking, yea not unless OJ found a new hobby.

See I see that as his most likely destination. Bust QBs tend to not play games like he did last week. I don't think he has the tools to be a top guy, but if he keeps getting better he can be the kind of guy that you can win with. He'll win games for you like he did last week and he'll lose games for you too, but I don't see him ever doing the kinds of things Brady, Brees, Mahomes or even Watson (in a valiant losing effort) did last week. He might be able to be the version of Rivers that actually gets it done though.

I think Manning makes it twice, once as a colt and once as a bronco.I think he had two hall of fame careers and no one even noticed.

This isn't human trafficking. It's prostitution. Saying they were "involved" seems to imply they were involved in keeping her a prostitute, but what she claims is that they were clients. Big big difference there which makes for a misleading article and post by the OP

He's never been very good to begin with. 3 winning seasons in 8 years and this one looks like another stinker too. He's always been capable of huge games, but he's often had suspect decision making and an unreal ability to throw a terrible ball at the worst possible times.

Shouldn't week 1 count as time served?

I had mono as a teenager, and it essentially made me sleep 16 hours a day.
