IIRC, reds and greens are the hardest colors for colorblind to see. While watching that game it looked so hideous I was wishing I was color blind for sure These are two of my all time favorite throwbacks. The orange should play well against the black

Douglas has quietly had a really good year for Miami. Bounced back from his efforts last year. Not sure what he did to earn PoW honors, but glad for him getting an early Christmas present.

Saying Worthy isn't as bad as Coleman is kinda like saying a dwarf is taller than a midget. While true, it's still not a great accomplishment. While I don't think anyone is losing sleep, his speed dictates how you defend the Chiefs on some level. He has wheels that have to be taken into account. Coleman doesn't even add that

Palmer makes a difference because of the next man up principal. With him there, Coleman and Shavers see less snaps. He is better than those two. Were things worse? Sure. But let's not act like other than Oliver no one else that's missing or likely to be matters. Heck, I didn't even mention above Spencer Brown may well miss this week too. Does he matter? Overall, yes. It seemed like earlier this season we would lose 2 players for every one we got back. Now it seems we are getting 2 back for every one we lose. But there's still a LOT of guys that will miss this week. And that includes guys on season ending IR.

Is this the dude that looks like Steve Carrell?

We are missing way more than just Oliver. Palmer and Bosa are probably long shots to play. Hoecht playing that I didn't hear? Shakir probably plays but he isn't right injury wise right now. First practice is today. There will likely be a long list of others that are limited to DNP. I think it's a worse look for the players. These are grown ass men. Professionals in their field. If they need a little bald dude giving them a rah-rah speech to rev them up that's on the players. They know what's at stake.

This made me legit lol..

Can you run a WR screen off this? Asking for Joe Brady

Looks good. Suit up. Seriously, this is encouraging.

That was Kolb. Brohm was the next great Bills QB that we plucked off the Packers PS. And he never got a fair chance.

I think a lot of people are seeing what they want to see and projecting feelings.

I think he could be a 30-40 catch a season guy. I put his ceiling above what Dawson Knox brings.

I know we opened the season with a first drive touchdown several straight weeks to open the season this year. Can't remember how many off the top of my head. Offense and defense have sort of been the opposite to me. Brady has done well on the first drive, but as soon as his scripted plays are spent he's lost. Defense has been the opposite. They are terrible at first then adjust well.

Not sure on the day game/night game split, but this year the Ravens are just 3-5 at home. Of course, some of that as well may be due to all the injuries, but on paper this year the Baltimore being dominate at home doesn't appear to be a thing.

Wouldn't this be the most "Billsy" season for us to win it all? I don't know about anyone else, but I always pictured that dream season where the Bills dominated, ran through the playoffs and won it all This year with the imperfect roster, all the hand ringing and "Beane and McDermott need to go" sentiment, not leading the division basically all year, losing to nothing teams like Atlanta...we, collectively haven't been able to settle in and enjoy the ride this year. Would be just like this franchise to win it all in a year we had so much "wrong"

This is the type of dude that gives ankle socks and tighty whiteys to everyone on Christmas.

Vinny Testaverde is stretching up now...

Kinda rooting for the Chargers here to keep KC further back.

If the Bengals beat the Ravens this week it could be an elimination game for Baltimore.

We have one of these already. We put him in a Puffy coat and call him Keon Coleman.

Fox had 11 defensive snaps. Zero STs snaps. Groot and AJE handled most of the game.

One thing I can say in somewhat of a defense is this. I have had a LOT of concussions in my life. From high school sports to just messing around to a few work place mishaps. In any event, I would estimate I've had between 15-20 concussions. They all present different. Sometime the bell is wrung and it's an immediate thing. Other times I gotten them and not felt it for a day or two. Was perfectly fine. Sometimes the symptoms were gone in a day or so...other times it's lingered for weeks or longer. It's easy to be cynical and say, yeah he had one, they knew it and they played him anyway. And that may be the case. But that's not ALWAYS the case.

It didn't seem like he was calling the plays early in the game. He didn't have the play call sheet the first few drives from what I saw. The first time I noticed him with it was the series before Benford's sack. I'm pretty sure at the start of the games, McDermott has Babich call the first few series and then takes over if need be. Wouldn't shock me if one of Babich's remaining duties is the opening defensive script. McDermott loves to get pressure with 4 pass rushers. The same can be said for just about any DC. Max pressure with minimal bodies committed is the goal. However, as we saw two years ago, McDermott is not above sending a healthy amount of blitzes when they can't get pressure with 4. He's actually pretty aggressive and boarders closer to wreckless with calling blitzes. In any event, playing safe and close to the vest isn't necessary what McDermott does, either as a DC or a HC. The first couple of years he absolutely did and that's what earned him the "conservative" reputation with fans. But those teams lacked talent and he coached to the level of his team. Those first couple seasons, he was more ball control and field position. He's just not that way now.

Same. I really thought he was going to be more of an emergency option in case Knox or Hawes went down. But he played close to his normal snap share.

As always, some interesting things can be gleamed from snap counts. In addition to what Sal has highlighted here's some thoughts: -Cooks out snapping Coleman is very telling to me. You would think a game with weather issues would be a hot spot for a receiver like Coleman over a speed guy like Cooks. I think it's telling that he's getting less play time than a guy that most likely won't be here long term. -After the way he looked last week, Ray Davis only having 4 snaps on offense is ridiculous. Would have been a nice opportunity to let him build off last week. -James Cook on the field 75% of the time is both awesome and terrifying at the same time. Glad he's getting a lot of work, he deserves it. But if he goes down we are in deep 💩. -Of course, I don't know if it was an injury management thing, but using a 1st round pick on Kincaid ,that plays 22 offensive snaps was such a misfire. I'd assume it was a "work him back slowly" snap count thing, but that's right about his average snap count percentage. And yes, he can be a mismatch nightmare...but he has to be on the field more -Taron Johnson being on the field for 98% of the snaps is so dangerous. We really need to have an upgrade at the NCB position next year. -AJE & Groot having 82% and 75% snap shares. Without Bosa, there is nobody they trust to rotate. Solomon and Fox COMBINED for 17 snaps. Was disappointed in Fox's debut. Was hoping he was brought up to fill the kind of thing Hoecht was doing. Obviously, that's not the case, at least in this one.
