I feel like we have fantasized about this many times in the past, only to have the offense come out and look worse/less imaginative. I don't buy it.

Who remembers this McDermott reaction in the Super Bowl? You can see the anger and anguish together.

Is that Murph giving him a shot? Why can BB "take away" players and other coaches can't? What's the magical difference...

A point that seemingly no one is making is that Seattle has a history of starting slow. I actually picked the Bengals to win that game because of Seattle's slow starts and the fact that it was the first game of the season for a rookie head coach and Seattle wasn't sure what to expect.

lol Marcus Mariota is ranked higher than Josh Allen. Let that sink in.

Let's freaking go!!! Saturdays are the WORST... buildup all week and then everything just goes radio silent on Saturday. But Sunday is FINALLY here!!!

Posted in the score thread, but just to spread the word... Andy Dalton is 4-1 against the Bills; in fact, 5-1 if you include the beat-down in the 3rd preseason game last year. We also shouldn't dismiss the fact that that was Josh's first game with the starters and it did not go well. Even though it was preseason, don't think for a second that that doesn't give the Bengals more confidence, and it probably puts a chip on Josh's shoulder as well, which could be good or bad.

Chris Simms talked me into it.

It almost doesn't matter who they put on the offensive line. Brady gets the ball out before defenders barely even make contact with the offensive linemen... it's ridiculous. I'm not sure they couldn't just hire literally anyone to block for pass plays.

Per NBC Nightly News right now (very unusual for any sports talk to cross over into national news), Kraft has some "regrets" for hiring Brown, yet will continue to play him... makes a lot of sense... ?

This is amazing news! Hopefully it will be solid highlights for each and every game, not 10 seconds for one and 3 minutes for another

I think some people are going a little too far in calling this sexism. Personally, I would complain about these mathematical predictions regardless of the gender of the person responsible. As others have hinted at, the issue seems to be that Frelund's model is talked about like it is groundbreaking and impressive, and because the results have been so bad, the question kind of becomes, How long is she going to be glorified for a bad predictive model? If guessing produces the same or better results, yeah, it's going to rub people the wrong way when it's put out there as a "thing" all the time (the NFL even pushes notifications each week to users on the app).

Bengals are always a tricky team for the Bills. I'm scared this could be one of those "should win" games that turns into an L.

very strange

I can only imagine the media firestorm if Josh Allen had played like Cam Newton did the other night. Veterans get a lot of benefit of doubt.

Wouldn't the Patriots cut any other player in this scenario, immediately?

I feel guilty reacting to this in a positive way. From a purely football standpoint, this is amazing news. No way he actually plays for the Patriots now, right? And they just traded D. Thomas! Haha!

And they think P. Gaines is going to be a better replacement? lol

I seen youse still sucking

MJS, why you confused? Does that look like you? lol ?

I'llllllllllll be there

This is a bunch of hogwash. One reason being that there's no way they actually have time to "analyze" every play of every game for EVERY player and come out with these reports the next day. Common sense alone reveals the absurdity...

Encouraging!

If he had been successful in his quest... our disdain for the Jets might have eclipsed NE levels

Very impressive!
