What is the deal with Rapp? He hurt himself THAT bad catching that final INT against Miami?

Is this really surprising? You can have two NFL coaches grade a player completely differently. Two GM's too. That's why some will trade down in the draft and others will trade up to get the player that the other left there. It doesn't mean PFF sucks. It means HIS coach graded it differently.

I can't fix a snowblower, but if you PM me your address, I will order a plow to come do your driveway for you.

I posted that right after the game when I assumed he broke it. At the time I thought it was definite. I hop I was wrong.

You feel that McD's comment about hope pertained to this week? I hope you're right. I assumed he meant hope that he comes back at some point in the playoffs/SB.

Thank you for the update. I appreciate you. Definitely don't want anyone hurt and I hope he heals up well. I do think our offense may be better without him in though.

This is so lame. The Bills lost 2 games in OT, another game because of a flag as time expired (Bills would have won), and another close game overseas where the opponent had 2 weeks overseas to acclimate compared to our three days. Don't get started on flukey stuff. The Chiefs AVERAGE loss was by a TD (6 points) and they lost two games by 9 or more. It doesn't matter whether its good or bad. The only thing that matters is that a divisional opponent had 11 wins, which makes it harder to win the division. If any of the Chiefs divisional opponents had 11 wins, the Chiefs may have been a wildcard.

Who says we are confident? I'm nervous as could be. I see the game as a coin-flip that comes down to the final series. The Chiefs went 4-4 to finish the Season. The Bills went 6-2 to finish the season. The only reason the Chiefs weren't expected to miss the playoffs at any point is because they play in a bad division.

Keep in mind that playoff ref crews are not the same as the regular season. Hochuli doesn’t have his same crew as he did during the Philly flag massacre. He has a mixed crew of men and women who were assigned this game based on how well did they did in the regular season. In theory, these are the best of the best refs, as all refs in the divisional round are eligible for the Super Bowl assignment.

Touchbacks incoming. Or maybe we just won’t punt. That would be nice.

My favorite postgame quote came from Ed. He said: "I heard they wanted to play yesterday in the blizzard because they thought they could run the ball. Then we give them even better conditions, and they still can’t run the ball. ..."

There are only so many snaps to go around. If Diggs & Davis are on the field, you have to choose between Kincaid and Shakir at slot. Are you taking Kincaid out for Shakir? On Sunday the Bills pit Kincaid at #2 a lot, and let Shakir play the slot. I loved that. It let you have a field of Diggs, Cook, Kincaid, Shakir and Knox.

I posted on that forum for a while. It was fun (although a cesspool), but they were obsessed with thinking that I was another Bills fan who had posted there years ago, because we share a first name. Nothing could convince them that I wasn’t. Good times though. Im surprised how confident they are, just because they were very doom and gloom a couple weeks ago. I guess a win over the Dolphins gave them a boost of intense hope.

SDS comes in clutch! Great memory.

ok thanks.

This part is what i'm curious about. Is it not not possible for the rain/snow to be driven by wind shear and escape the donut? At an angle. Like this I mean: Meaning, it would hit upper deck, lower deck, etc. Due to wind driving it at an angle?

I'm not sure why you're being hostile. I was trying to learn from you. But ok then...

So if the roof covers 100% of the seats, shouldn’t there be no snow? On the seats I mean.

I know the Tottenham stadium claims to be 100% covered (for seats - not the field) and they still get snow and rain on their seats. If we only have 60-70% covered, how much of our stadium is going to be hit with rain/snow when we account for swirling wind? The snow seems to go up the first section of their seats.

Maybe it will. And then the wind will blow the snow right into those seats. I saw a video of the workers clearing out snow from the stadium and the wind was blowing the snow from the lower and upper deck, right into the covered concourse walkways.

For whatever it is worth, a physical therapist on Twitter mentioned that from the video replay there did not appear to be any mechanism that would lead to a high ankle sprain. In that persons opinion, more likely a lower ankle sprain.

Oh I'm sure some are on Josh. No doubt about it. But that goes with all the receivers he throws to. Some are on the QB and some are on the WR. But a significantly higher percentage occur when throwing to Gabe. And much of that reason is because Gabe and Josh don't seem to "click". They are often not on the same page. For example, remember, the Vikings OT game last year? Gabe takes his route deep into the endzone (leaving the DB shallow). Allen expected him to widen his route and body shield the defender. Instead, he cut it deep, which would have necessitated Allen throwing OVER defenders. Result? INT. And i'm not even necessarily blaming Gabe for deciding how to take his route. Like relationships, sometimes you just say "its nobodies fault - we just dont click". And thats where i'm at with Gave.

12 of Allen's 32 INT's over the last two seasons have been targeting Gabe. 12/32 = 38%. Thus "nearly 40%", which is what I said... I took out the Hail Mary INT, because that's not fair. Know what it is when targeting Diggs? 16%. So 38% of Allen's INT's happen when targeting a player that only receives 15.1% of the targets (174 targets / 1146 pass attempts). And 16% of Allen's INT's happen when targeting a player that is thrown to 27.4% of the time (314 targets/1146 pass attempts). 38% of the INT's on 15% of the targets is .... a lot. .
