I totally agree with this idea. I think that Beane gambled that he could get a much better WR with an in-season trade than he could before the season started given how little cap room the Bills had, and that is certainly true. My guess is that Cooper was always on Beane's short list.

Stefanski will bench DeShaun Watson for Jameis Winston to start the second half ... and the Browns beat Cinci.

I don't think that either of those predictions are particularly "bold". IMO Rodgers will be lucky to finish the game ... and I don't think that's very bold. Even if the Jests lose the rest of their games this season, they will easily be the most awesome 2-15 team in NFL history.

Did you watch the game Monday night? In his first start back from injury, Rapp showed why he's a starter.

How ironic would it be if the Jests just traded for Davante and then lose Rodgers for the season a week later to the Steelers' defense? The Jests will be lucky to escape Pittsburgh with Rodgers not heading for season ending IR.

IMO, Allen has shown himself to be great at ad-libbing in the passing game. Unlike Rodgers, he doesn't need to have his receivers be at some predetermined spot in order to complete passes.

Guaranteed that the day after the Bills win the Super Bowl, some yahoo and his/her cohorts will want to fire Beane because the Bills didn't win by enough points.

Brain fart. I always get them confused for some reason ... I just chalk it up to old age.

The only reason that Watson is still starting has to be because the owner/GM has ordered it. He's worse than CJ Stroud Bryce Young was before he was benched.

Cooper is heading up the 90 to the Bills. I'd take that bet even with Fields playing QB but Wilson is taking #1 reps for the Steelers this week. If he can find even 70% of his Seattle form, he'll be a much better option than Fields.

Rodgers might not survive Pittsburgh.

People seem to forget that Rodgers wasn't very good in his last season in GB compared to the rest of his career. In 2022, Rodgers threw for less than 3700 yards in 17 games with his lowest completion percentage since 2015. His 12 INTs were his highest since his first year as a starter in 2008, and his 2.2% of INTs thrown was his highest for a full season since 2010. The Packers finished 8-9 in 2022 after going 13-3 in the previous 3 seasons. In the previous 2 seasons, 2020 and 2021, Rodgers led the NFL in both the percentage of TDs and INTs thrown. In fact, he threw for the lowest INTs percentage in the NFL while also throwing for 4000+ yards from 2018 through 2021. In 2020 he threw 48 TDs and 5 INTs. In 2021, Rodgers through 37 TDs and 4 INTs. Rodgers led the Packers to 3 straight 13-3 seasons between 2019-2021. Rodgers in 2024 seems to be playing at less than his 2022 level. Win or lose against the Bills, I think the Jests have screwed up again.

It seems so to me, too. I don't know if statistics actually show that, but maybe we notice the injuries more this season because some of the teams that were preseason favorites to make the playoffs seem to be suffering multiple injuries to starters.

Nonsense. Do you know how many teams have won Super Bowls with QBs who were hardly more than journeymen???? Some teams won Super Bowls with backup QBs FCOL!

I've added it to my calendar.

The Hallmark Channel also celebrates Christmas in July IIRC ... and April ... and August.😁

That's why I don't shop at Aldi's. I find it insulting to have to pay a deposit on the use of a shopping cart, not only because I always return my cart to a corral, but because here in Jtown, almost everybody else returns their carts, too.

FYI -- CMT is airing a special on Kris and his legacy at 8 pm tonight.

Scoop and score for McCloud for Cleveland ... and then the Raiders miss the extra point.

I believe a suspension starts when the player is active for a game, so any games missed while on IR or PUP list can't be counted toward suspension games. IIRC DeShaun Watson was injured for a while after the trade to Cleveland, but he had to serve his suspended games after he was ready to play.

In the preseason, the general belief was that whoever was the QB would hold the team back because the team was that talented. That belief was re-enforced when first round rookie QB JJ McCarthy was lost for the season during pre-season.

YEEEESSSSSS!!!! JETS MISSED FG!!!!!

Richardson out for the game for Indy.

Flacco just threw a TD for the Colts. Darnold just threw another TD.

Maybe the Broncos D is legit. They smacked the Bake around a bunch last week ... and they're making Rodgers and Co look pretty inept.
