Data is our friend (so is science btw): "Since the NFL expanded to 12 playoff teams in the 1990 season, clubs coming off a first-round bye are 64-55-3 against the spread (53.8%) and 91-31 straight up (74.6%). Since 2015, those marks have jumped to 13-8-1 ATS (61.9%) and 18-4 SU (81.8%), including a 7-4 ATS / 10-2 SU run for No. 1 seeds." https://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/2280404 Also relevant and possibly mitigating these numbers is that there has been a very recent 2 year trend of "road field advantage." Last season was the first year in NFL history where the road teams won more games than the home teams... 128-127-1 (.502). This season, home teams had a slim advantage, 137-131-1 (.511). https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/01/14/nfl-home-field-advantage-pandemic/

Don't forget the St Louis Cardinals who were there from 1960 till 1987 before moving to Arizona. There might also be some Cinci fans in St. Louis.

Sound like anyone you know? Sound like anyone you know? Jeff Gillooly maybe?

I'd prefer that like Shula at the hands of Levy (Marv 20-6 vs Shula), Belichick would suffer an inordinate amount first before finally hanging it up. On a related subject (unless I missed it) I'm surprised to not see a thread on Belichick's post game handshake brush-off of McDermott.

I could definitely see him getting paid. Siran is an excellent special teams player who has improved every year as a DB. After playing LB and safety in college his coverage skills as a pro CB continue to improve and he's valuable as a big nickel. He's still relatively young and plays a premium position. On the other hand, Levi has been a starter for 4 years on a playoff team. He's improved every year and has held up as teams generally avoid Tre White. He's a relatively young guy at a premium position. People were saying Taron Johnson was average but now look at him differently after he signed his new contract. The Bills will add a few CBs this offseason but Levi's next contract will be pretty nice.

Trubisky is a certain goner. I feel like both Hughes and Addison will also be gone next year. I have a hunch that Sanders, Beasley, and Star will also be gone. If it plays out that way I see Wallace returning as well as Harrison, Zimmer, McKenzie and Obada. Maybe it's wishful thinking because this is also what I'd like to see happen. As far as free agency and the draft, the Bills would need to get a new pass rusher with their other primary need at interior O-line. The team is deep enough elsewhere to pick best player available in most rounds. That said you can't give Josh too many weapons and you can never have enough cornerbacks.

I've heard of him!
