Can desperate SF overcome injuries and the Packers at Lambeau? Can streaking Arizona win their 6th in a row against a host Seattle team coming off their best win of the season (@ SF)? Will Philly win their 7th in a row or will the Rams hold serve and win their 5th in the last 6? Minnesota @ Chicago is mildly entertaining... will Caleb remain/regain his developmental momentun? Will Darnold turn into a pumpkin? Can host Indy give KC some anxious moments? Who will win "The HarBowl" on MNF? I too, have a project I'd like to finish before the 10 am kickoffs. Aaron? Is that you? That was an awesome watch! Thank you!!!

Thanks man.

It must be some sort of infection. Those Terrible Towels are very unhygienic.

Yes, I thought it was all over after that intentional brownding...

Brilliant stuff

Easy now...

Batten down the clipboard...

Dorsey dialing it up as only he can.

Just following what's written on the clipboard...

Well, most factories have roofs...

They're pretty Depend-able in that regard.

Brown alert...

No need to apologize.

Also, Dan Morgan is the GM in Carolina.

So I did... sorry.

Honestly NFL teams should be able to execute that in their sleep. When that return man clears out the coverage team should be trying to catch that punt.

Please don't take this the wrong way because it's not directed entirely at you... but I think Bills fans are more traumatized by the Bengals than Damar Hamlin is. There's this fear of Cinci that doesn't quite seem rational.

That's not gonna work. I need under 27. Rock, paper, scissors?

You forgot 6) Ralph is cheap.

Does anyone know their new domain name?

So you're saying that you're a Steelers fan? I despise the Steelers and find it hard to think of scenarios where I would actually cheer for them. It seems that in the AFC North, the standings mean even less than in other divisions. It seems pretty common for worst to beat first in that division. Just my impression. Winston's had a very checkered past to say the least... lots of incidents putting his character on display. I'm glad he appears to have changed his ways. And the grass field in Cleveland adds very nicely to the ambience. I'm really looking forward to the Bills playing their home games on natural grass in the new stadium.

Agreed. I'm also continually impressed by the ability of posters here to make definitive and permanent judgements about young players who are still developing... and also veterans easing back in from injury. 1) "I've heard of him!" 2) "Git 'er done!" 3) "He has a ruptured spleen." 4) "The Patriots (Ravens) would be entitled to draft pick compensation." 5) F5 (this has been an automated response) It all makes for an interesting offseason. Just glad there's a good chance that Milano will be in the starting lineup for the stretch run and playoffs. Agree... though I believe Jamarcus Ingram might figure into the situation somehow. I disagree with your statement about adding wrinkles... Milano's only 30 and he's still handso... youthful looking.

Seems like I made two points about the Rooney Rule compensation... speculating (I used the word "arguably") about disincentivizing hiring by a 1) divisional rival and a 2) conference rival. In other words I did not make an absolute or unequivocal statement. "The "problem" with the compensation aspect of the Rooney Rule is that it arguably disincentivizes a team from hiring from a divisional or even conference rival." To your bolded refutation ("this is not the case") I see out of the 10 examples over 4 years, only 1 example is divisional. Thanks for the good research.

It definitely looks like they had a trick play up their sleeve but chose not to run it... based maybe on Rapp's reaction?

Thank you for the great research. FWIW, the 2023 Draft included only 6 players and the 3 that didn't make the Bills are still in the league. This underscores the difficulty that rookies face trying to earn a roster spot on a good teams stocked with talent. It seems to me that Beane is getting better at drafting however it's hard to say. Like with injury luck there can always be a regression or progression to the mean average.
