Pilgrims in an unholy land...

Weather might be a good break for them because it forces all sides to be a little more vanilla.

I think they do tend to keep rookies quite low, but he is basically a starter now and really performing well regardless of rookie status.

I was just going to say something similar. Most of the teams at the top are rebuilding or are just plain bad. Chargers are just hitting their stride.

34 to 19 Bills over Titans. I think the Bills will really want this one. This was their one really embarrassing game last year and it was somewhat of a wake-up call for them as well. They'll want to show how far they've come. Titans have too many injuries and deficiencies to overcome in this one.

Incredible that Gregory Rousseau hasn't gotten a big jump.

Whenever this thread pops up and I see "Allen" and "Assault" in the title, my heart skips a beat. Thanks for the mini heart attacks. Oh, and the rankings are fun.

Offensive pass interference is "cutting off the path of an opponent by making contact with him, without playing the ball." You have to look like you are running a route and any contact is purely happenstance. It requires acting. Also, you usually aren't looking to hit the defender, just merely make them run around you and lose a step or two. "Blocking more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage by an offensive player prior to a pass being thrown is offensive pass interference." Illegal pick plays only count if they are 1 yard beyond the line of scrimmage. Otherwise, it is considered legal blocking.

The one truly bad call was the hold on Mitch Morse. The rest were justifiable by the rules. But there were some missed holds that I did not like.

Like voodoo curses?

They should slime the losing team each week. I'd pay to see that (especially if Brady was involved).

There we go! That's the first legitimate "mount up" connection I've seen. Nice!

If you post links to the images, the site will load them in full size.

I get that he says that all the time, but what are we mounting?

Yeah, everyone seems to forget all of the injuries. That defense was missing many of our best players, including our top two cornerbacks. No wonder we couldn't stop them.

Reich would get another head coaching job. He is extremely well respected around the league. And I highly doubt that will happen anytime soon anyways.

We ARE over the top!

Wow. Gruden really tried his best to offend as many groups and people as possible. That's impressive!

I still don't get the "mount up" thing. What are we mounting? Buffalo? Horses? Doesn't seem to fit.

I did hear them mention it on the broadcast. They got through it quickly before getting back to talking about how historically great the Chiefs and Mahomes are.

I disagree. And I think the stats will show that Allen was well protected. There was a single QB hit on him and that's all. Yes, there was a little pressure, but far less than the average game, in my opinion.

What pressure are you referring to? They did not bring significant pressure.

You left off the one everyone would vote for? That's pretty lame.

Having them fresh should help with that too. Star is a big man and he is playing great this year. Maybe he gets the most snaps that day. Maybe Butler is active against them too and he gets some snaps, because he is pretty big too. I think they have the guys. They've been much better versus the run this year. Henry is going to get his, though...
