cowboys are kicking to start the game i hope gb grabs an early lead and never looks back

yea I am really surprised fournette is not getting the nod here over murray. Seems like a day he is perfectly suited for especially if cook were to fumble early.

the people you see running do not have a seat, they have what is called a party pass. Its first come first serve on all 3 levels. So as close as you can get to the railing. Then you cant move for about 6 hours. and umm yes they have heat in the stadium...and A/C

Andy reid has abandoned the running game over the last 3 drives. They were running all over them.

Miami is hanging there. If they do this long enough KC will make a mistake somewhere. of all the games this weekend I thought this was a guaranteed KC blowout

I'm shocked honestly that miami has hung in there. They are in this game. I didn't think that was possible tonight

why?

i have the opposite opinion. Bring that pass happy offense into Buffalo in the weather. They are a great matchup for the bills defense.

that seems like a .01% chance but it would be awesome if it did. I imagine the dolphins are going to have very little fight tonight if they fall behind.

im jealous of the browns. wish houston was coming to buffalo

that too and maybe the most important thing. Field Position. Whoever can pin the other team down consistently inside the 15 or 10 is going to have a huge advantage. If Buffalo does it I imagine they will be in full attack mode just like the pats game since rudolph can not move and will have to get rid of the ball quick.

last time something like this happened with Dallas they had 13 pro bowlers, the 1 seed, a week off and a game against the Giants who they had beat 3 times in a row. then the giants beat them in Irving and won the superbowl.

This stinks about rapp. I imagine douglas and dodson will be inactive sunday also. Losing three guys on the back end like this will show up in the game at some point no matter what anyone says about them not being needed...whatever that means. this game is going to be about toughness and standing in there and taking a punch and then giving one back. The bills have played a style of football since brady has taken over that has gotten them prepared for this but losing key guys in the secondary hurts. Micah Hyde is one bad hit away from that stinger-shoulder-neck injury popping back up. hopefully the offense comes out on fire and scores the first couple times they get the ball and just force pittsburgh to try and throw in the second half, the bills defensive line is going to win some battles against a qb who doesn't move at all in this scenario. 48 hours till kickoff. Sleeping is going to be hard!

always something with that guy.

I was really hoping to get houston this week. If Buffalo were playing houston sunday I would be confident in 10+ point win. Houston would be crippled in this weather. Pittsburgh is built for this weather and they are getting players back on defense and buffalo lost 3 players for this game and who knows with rapp. This is going to be a tight anxiety filled game, buffalo would have bullied Houston.

not good

The Dallas Green Bay game could be affected by the weather also. It is supposed to be 20 degrees ish with a chance of snow here in DFW. When this happens this whole place shuts down. Most of the people who own tickets to the cowboys live outside of Tarrant County where they play...(If I remember correct)....So people driving to the game are going to have to leave early or they might get stuck somewhere in traffic because of the weather. The irony of the potential half empty building at kickoff if the weather actually gets bad here is kind of funny since they have a dome.

Gee I don't know maybe because they are going to be without another cb in Douglas? and spare me your elam can't tackle nonsense. We have no idea what the steelers are going to do.

Seems happydays source had the injuries right. I imagine Dodson is not playing. I wonder if elam plays?

No. Helmet to Helmet is an automatic penalty. Its different than the defenseless player rule. The league has been over the top about head protection and call really minor dings and then in the final game of the season with everyone watching a major helmet to helmet...he committed the penalty basically exactly to a T on how they call it....he lowered his head and led with his helmet and made direct contact to Johnsons head. the player was injured from the hit. No Penalty. had everything been exactly the opposite and Tua hit Hill and Poyer lowered his helmet and went head to head it would have been called and had it not it would be getting talked about 24/7 that the dolphins got robbed of points by a dirty player. For some reason NBC didn't mention it, barely showed the replay and never brought it up in the postgame. Pretty ridiculous

I was just stating what McDermott meant. and yea it was a blatant penalty and they should have had an untimed down in which they no doubt would have gone for it.

I think McDermott's point was you just launch that out of the back of the endzone and take the three. Had they scored and everything else played out the same that final dolphins drive would have been different and the tension would have been gone

I have not seen it announced anywhere but has Baker been given a fine yet for the hit?

I stand by what I said. They both had similar seasons with similar problems but both overcame them with some changes at Offensive Coordinator/play called and overcoming serious injuries. They won 10 games. No matter how they did it is not the issue. Its about how many not how. The bills needed to win to get in (essentially) and the steelers needed to win to get in (with Help) they both did it. They are separated by 1 win and have defenses that take the ball away. They both run the ball. Buffalo beat better teams down the stretch to get in for sure but that does not matter now...especially with the bills current injuries. They are very similar with Buffalo having Josh Allen as the biggest difference between the two teams.
