I hope we're not taking risks with Dawkins and Milano - obviously there's a risk in every game, but if they aggravate their original injuries today and miss the Dolphins game because of it...

Rubbish - he's not rich. Anything but as he's been relased by the Bills. He was acquitted because it was deemed that there was not enough evidence under Californian law to charge him of statutory rape. And there's enough evidence in the public domain to deem at least that decision as fair.

Thanks for that - was in the right area but not spot on.

It may be me, and this may result in a strong response, but I loathe something as serious as rape and sexual assault going through civil court. Someone being found 'guilty' of such a serious offence on the balance of probability doesn't sit right with me.

Araiza is innocent in the eyes of the law. We'll see what happens with the civil case now. There is no evidence in the public domain where we can say for sure alleged victim was lying, or telling the truth. Indeed, even those with the evidence have decided it should not go to trial. There was a big debate in the UK at one point whether those accused of rape or sexual assault should be named whilst investigations are taking place (for other offences, they are not until brought to trial). From Araiza, his career and life has been affected because of an accusation where no charges have been brought against him. Furthermore, thanks to her attorney, the alleged victim has been dragged through the court of public opinion too. For some, Araiza will always be guilty without any proof. For others, the alleged victim will be a liar, without being able to prove this.

He's a free agent, isn't he? I wonder if he might end up at Green Bay if Rodgers chucks the towel in.

I think Baker's too bullish a character for this to eat away at him too much, but mentally it could be a fight for him to get back on track. All the money in the world doesn't make you healthy in that regard.

Baker's a good enough QB to be given another chance. The question is will it be first choice (as said, the 49ers or the Rams may roll the dice) or will he have to be content as a back up? Interestingly Wilks, Darnold and Walker have been going out of their way to say how good he has been in the locker room. Can't see why the Colts would look to claim Baker at the moment. They're in a position where they're not bothered about winning, and will surely allow the new head coach to choose their next QB?

I hate the Eagles more at the moment, but that’s purely irrational based on the constant winning and Hurts coming from nowhere to looking like a lead QB.

Reading the 49ers forum, they seem to have some real classless fans there. But perhaps that’s the same for all franchises. Just had a vision of Fitz v Josh in the Super Bowl.

Feel for Jimmy. Did so well bouncing back from all the rubbish in the pre-season for this to happen.

Ruddy Ravens winning though. Albeit they looked dreadful in doing so.

Now Bills, do NOT throw this opportunity away. We're good enough to win out... we have to.

I'll officially take back what I said earlier - can't remember if it was this or the Chiefs-Bengals thread - if only one team can win between the 49ers and Bengals, let it be the latter...

We're still waiting for a fumble to bounce our way and we've gone through week thirteen.

Yep, someone just explained why. Didn't think of it like that but should have done. Both losing would be great, though.

I'd prefer both! See what you mean about being able to control our destiny within the division.

If only one of the Bengals or 49ers can win I'd prefer the latter to do so.

Purdy... trying to think back to the draft but was he this year's Mr Irrelevant?

Brady - couldn't have been scripted better for the Bucs either.

Hope Jimmy is ok. It's always the Dolphins who luck out, isn't it?

So, what results would I like to see from this weekend… Titans lose at Eagles (Obviously) Steelers lose at Falcons (the less confidence Pickett and Pickens get the better) Packers lose at Bears (for the laughs, though I like Tom Grossi on YouTube so, if the Packers win, fine) Jaguars lose at Lions (after last year, the more the Jags lose the better except when playing one of our rivals) Browns lose at Texans (welcome back, Mr Happy Ending) Jets lose at Vikings (again, obviously) Broncos win at Ravens (as much as the Broncos imploding is entertaining) Commanders lose at Giants (come on, Daboll!) Dolphins lose at 49ers (knowing our luck, Jimmy G will have one of his off days) Seahawks win at Rams (Carroll’s done a good job with Smith) Chargers lose at Raiders (just to keep Herbert down a peg or two) Chiefs lose at Bengals (let’s get the number one seed back) Colts win at Cowboys (a wobble in confidence for the Cowboys may not be a bad thing for us in the long term)

The only way the Dolphins can beat us is if we beat ourselves with silly errors or are decimated with injuries. I’m actually more concerned about more NFC teams than AFC - I think the likes of the 49ers and Cowboys are more of a threat to us than anyone outside of Kansas City if we’re playing to our full potential.
