Got some things to clean up but you take every win you can get in the playoffs. Davis was encouraging. Elam can take a bigger role. Knox continues to be hot. I think we'll be a lot cleaner against Cincy. Rousseau needs to show up and someone needs to find ancient healing powers for Poyer. Josh will probably need to run more. Wins are wins. This game wasn't good but it wasn't as bad as it seemed

Kind of letting them March down the field here

I'm not necessarily complaining but this may be the longest game in the history of the NFL

Defense has been good but we need a takeaway

Josh needs to run

WR, OL, WR, OL, WR, OL That's the draft

It's really hard to win a Super Bowl. Even one bad quarter in the playoffs can ruin it. Luckily ours was against a mediocre team. This team will play much cleaner against Cincy or KC but you gotta get there first

Letting them casually return the ball 50 yards on the John Brown INT was an underrated terrible play

Diggs might need 15 targets in the 2nd half

Edmunds is playing like he wants to get paid. As much as I love him, Poyer is not

Beasley is a detriment

The defense has been getting lucky today and that was pathetic

Beasley was a good idea but just not sure it's gonna work

Also wish McD had not mentioned this. At least make Cincy think he might play

Yeah the idea of a scout team totally slipped my mind. My bad

What is the advantage of opening his practice window if there is no real chance he plays? Sure it's important for him to get some practice reps in as soon as he can which will help next year but I feel like any practice reps he takes away from guys like Marlowe, Madsen, etc are more detrimental to the team

Edmunds is worth a big deal but I fear we lose a bidding war in an open market. I think losing him would be a big deal and I hope he's back even if it takes $18M/year but I fear he goes higher than that especially if we win a Super Bowl

If he truly has no chance of being cleared, I'd be disappointed that he was activated and taking practice reps from the guys that clearly need the reps. Not saying he's for sure playing but activating him as a feel good moment seems like a bad decision considering the time of season and lack of experience in the secondary

For my stress, I would want an easy path to the Super Bowl but my ideal scenario might actually be beating the Bengals and Chiefs along the way. And beating them badly.

I'm sure the NFL wants Bills vs Bengals but the league has to hate that Lamar and Tua are out and essentially making two playoff games totally non competitive. I mean that's part of the price you pay when you expand the playoff field and add a 17th game but 3 of the 6 games this weekend may not be within 10 points and one is Daniel Jones vs Kirk Cousins. Not sure what they can do to prevent this but this is kind of an unappealing playoff weekend if you aren't a fan of one of the teams

Isn't Mayden (guy we got off Jets practice squad) on the active roster? Seems like he'd be the cut if Hyde comes back. I don't think opening a roster spot is much of a hurdle

Miami will clearly do whatever they can at this point to keep the Bills offense off the field. Lots of runs, screens, jet sweeps, etc. For them, a 6 minute drive that even ended in 0 points is going to be a win on Sunday. They have to hope this is like a 17-10 game in the 4th quarter. If they fall behind by 14+ early, this game could turn into an all-time rout

Yeah I think the Chargers may have a legit shot in that game. They are a team where you never know what you'll get on any given week and the offense is not as good as it should be when you consider the skill players they have but that defense is nasty with Bosa back

We'll see what happens in practice but if Marlowe or whoever is going to play the whole postseason, he needs as many reps as possible. If Hyde is coming in and taking reps, the team clearly feels like he has a chance to play and play a big role. I have no concerns about his ability to jump in and play after so much time off. And just him being out there next week will give Burrow and the Bengals something to think about it at least to start. As far as Crowder goes - man that is going to be a tough role to step in to but you're asking for a lot less out of that WR than you would be asking from Hyde

Obviously my only hope is to win the Super Bowl but this is a fun topic so here are my 10 hopes other than winning the Super Bowl 1. Playoff Josh - which also includes averaging less than 1 turnover per game throughout the playoffs 2. Cook gets 12+ touches per game 3. Deep ball offense is here to stay but we don't get attached to it 4. Rousseau moves himself into the elite competition with a dominant playoff run 5. Highmark Stadium is the hardest/loudest place to play this postseason 6. We stop letting teams march down the field on the opening drive 7. Elam plays more than 60% of the snaps 8. Romo continues to make his love for Josh known to the world 9. Get off the field on 3rd and long 10. Tre White gets a pick six
