Yobogoya!

Sports media must be absolutely salivating at the potential to name him "comeback player of the year" next year if he has even an adequate season. Can't wait.

Right, you would have to watch and analyze each snap he’s played for both teams all those years. which means making a judgment either way is a crapshoot. But I hate the Patriots, so even if the statement that Gilmore gets away with more now is irrational, I’m ok with it. ?

The problem with a chart like this is it doesn’t account for flags that aren’t thrown, which is kind of the complaint if we’re talking about Gilmore getting away with penalties. he might have a good number of flags in the table for this year, but what if there are five more that should have been called? And what if those five flags came at very important times in the context of the games that were played?

Barkley beat with the Jets last year with the equivalent of second string lineman and skill players. i don’t think playing our backups is conceding victory to that team on any level.

So, what does NFL Network do if this 1pm game runs late?? Kind of an oversight to have all the games one right after the other on the same network isn’t it?

Probably Brady and Rivers. Even though their seasons have been largely trash.

Congrats to Tre! It’s a year late, but it usually takes the national media and casual fans that long to catch up to a good Bills player. He and Edmunds should be auto-locks for years to come going forward. anyone want to foster a guess as to the 5-6 AFC DT’s who had better years than Phillips? ?

I hope you're right. But I wouldn't underestimate the solidarity of the NFL machine. I don't know if Mike Brown is the kind of owner who will be mad enough at this incident to go against it.

There's no way the NFL is going to give the Bengals permission to release that tape. No way, no how. Now if the Bengals have someone brave enough to leak the tape in defiance of the NFL, that's another story.

That organization from top to bottom has believed they're above the rules for over twenty years now. It's time to drop the damn hammer. Plausible deniability isn't an excuse after a documented history of this stuff. Their fans and organization tried to downplay Deflategate by saying there was no competitive advantage gained, and the balls were within a certain PSI. For me, it was NEVER about the competitive advantage Brady gained from softer balls. It was ALL about how he knew what the rules were, and he bribed an equipment lackey with sneakers to go around the rules, because he believed he was fully entitled to it. The Spygate punishment was a joke in retrospect. I don't even care if this was just an innocent mistake. When your organizational policy was to use this EXACT SITUATION as an excuse during your previous cheating attempts, I think you'd better be fully prepared for no one to give you the benefit of the doubt. Drop the hammer. It's long overdue.

It's not about trusting our D to shut down Duck, it's about their defense getting big time sacks / fumbles / picks against Josh in dangerous territory -- that's what has me unsettled anyway. If we get behind early against that D, I don't know if Josh can overcome it. Just like this past Sunday. We have to score first and get ahead of them, but it won't be easy...

ESPN does a different "theme" for their power rankings blurb every week. This week it was "people on the hot seat" for each team.

None of those guys can say they were the best all-time at what they did. Tasker can. Special Teams is way under-represented in the Hall. When you have 40 running backs in, I feel like you can probably justify having more than two kickers or at least the best coverage specialist of all time.

Roman's offense scored 31 the week he was fired, but the Ryan bros' defense gave up 37 to Fitzmagic (who struggled the rest of the year) and Roman was the scapegoat. Like others have said, Roman had his faults and a stronger HC probably would have been able to work through them. He was good for at least one head-scratching gadget play per game, but no one can argue that he made Tyrod Taylor look like an above-competent QB, and now he's turned a similar type of QB into an MVP candidate.

Buffalo could finish 12-4 and win a game in the post-season this year, and they'll be right back to predicting 7-9 in 2020.

The guy's been the king of the "almost sack" for a long time now. In the Miami game he had Fitz dead to rights, and let him slip right through his grasp (and then Fitz ran 20 yards for a touchdown). Bills really need to ramp up and re-tool the pass rush this off-season. I envision DJ Jr. will be the only returning face next year.

I mean, honestly outside of the Patriots who just dominate year after year, this is how most teams end up in the post-season. Look at the Carolina Panthers 15-1 super bowl year. Their schedule was soft as hell, especially intra-division. Can the Bills repeat success year after year? Don't know. But this year, they look to be among the best in the business.

Guy could probably start on an XFL team. Maybe.

More like every year. The guy sells out for interceptions but is brutal any time he's not picking the ball off.

Allen is a great weapon from five yards out because he can roll out and the defense has to either commit to stopping his run or stay disciplined against the pass. Either way its an almost guaranteed score. McKenzie on the jet sweep feels like it's been an auto-TD down there as well.

The biggest thing that’s going to work against him playing Sunday is that he’s going to miss most all team work this week, and McD is a very conservative coach, esp regarding injuries and preparation. If he thinks Barkley is “better prepared” from the full week of reps he’s getting this week, he’ll start Barkley even if Josh is medically cleared to play.

Sack moved him back 5 yards. Pats lineman jumped illegally, no flag. And a lot of fans tend to underestimate how difficult New Era is to kick in. You see good kickers come in and miss on our turf all the time. Lots of players to criticize this week, but Hauschka isn't one of them.

That's big of them. Regardless of whether the assault allegations are true, Brown has been just a travesty of a human being for well over a year now.

They did. Bojo has really turned it around since the preseason. Hopefully he can stay consistent throughout the year.

If that's the reasoning behind these match-ups, I'm strangely comfortable with it.
