Going into the bottom of the fifth inning of game 5 of the world series this year, the yankees were winning big and about to make a series out of it and have all the momentum. Coming out of the break Suzyn Waldman whom I love on the radio said, Welcome to the bottom of the fifth where if you are just tuning in Gerrit Cole has a no hitter. Over the next 30 minutes I watched the worst inning of Yankees baseball I have seen in my life and I have been watching since 83. Don't be a Suzyn Waldman and put the maloik on the injury report. Side note, John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman dont believe in the jinx and always talk like this. They called a no hitter in Oakland in 2023 and talked about it the whole game. knock on wood there is a reason for an injury report to worry about next week

Pet Peeve. Defenses get Takeaways, Offenses commit turnovers. This is like when people say points in baseball.

Interesting to me. the final three games the bills came out and run halfback tosses to the left and right. I don’t think they ran a single one the whole year before the pats game. i wonder if that’s something they did to get on film to maybe set something up in the playoffs.

more importantly Jim Johnsons defense was a menace to the entire nfc. Go look at the Defensive staffs in those first 5-7 years in philly. They should have won a superbowl. Reid made lots of time management issues and refused to run the ball for a few years. this idea that reid was the goat when he was in philly is absolutely ridiculous. When Gibbs Parcells and Coughlin showed up in the division he lost his huge advantage he had. they spent years building towards 04 then they lost in the superbowl. Never really threatened to get there again except 08 and that team was not very good they just got to play a lousy giants team that self destructed after plaxico burress shot himself in a nightclub.

to be fair, Reid didn't have to play mahomes. He had a hard enough time beating Jake Delhomme, Brad Johnson and Kerry Collins.

they are entertaining. A guy just called and said the bills will play Baltimore unless seattle can beat them and then got all upset about where the ball is spotted if there is a 15 yard penalty at the 29. Day drinkers I guess?

The WGR calls on one bills live today. Good Lord.

Apparently it is. He has a hamstring injury and might not play Sunday. not great. Field position will be a huge issue Sunday.

Did something happen to Brandon codrington. I am watching the McDermott press conference and it starts abruptly with him talking about waiting on the medical staff and maybe having to make a move at kick returner? he played a lot of corner yesterday.

I’m going to go on record that Aaron Glenn takes the saints job and then Lou Anarumo takes the lions Defensive Coordinator job.

No one here should be talking about the ravens. This game this week is going to take every thing the bills have to win. They will probably need a bounce to go their way too. It’s going to be a battle Sunday and this team needs cooper to win it.

Cooper must have a sick family member. what else would keep him away from a playoff game. if there is some way he misses the game and the bills lose after giving up a top 100 pick for him, well don’t get me started. Hopefully his family and friends are ok and he is back on Wednesday.

the flip side of that is that had they lost to the cardinals, dolphins and colts they would have had winning records. none of that matters. Teams can only play their schedule. Everybody is 0-0 now.

My favorite Irish player ever.

The broncos are built kind of like the jags teams they struggled with the last couple years. Good wr, can run the ball with power and on the interior and have a mobile qb along with a good defense. I just can't shake the idea that Payton is going to come out in big sets and challenge Buffalo right away and see how physical they are and see if they stay in nickel. If the Bills can stop he may run the ball a ton and kill the bills with T.O.P. making each buffalo possession twice as important and making any mistakes or 3 and outs killers. on the flip side if buffalo stands up the running game and puts the game in nix's hands on third and long over and over in that environment there may be false starts, holds and some quick dumpoffs. Field Position, Playing with a lead and T.O.P. will be the key imo and it all starts with showing the broncos that they can handle the physicality up front in the running game. If Buffalo can't stop the run right up the gut in the A and B gap early we are going to be making diamonds out of coal.

Yes I know where Denver is. but I am wondering what is the coldest game they played this year? Was it yesterday?

Anyone know what the coldest game the broncos played in this year? They played the night game at Cincy and yesterday’s game at home. going to be like 25 ish Sunday.

Yea it’s a weird take that seemingly every organization has. especially when Nick foles just won a Super Bowl like 8 years ago. I imagine it’s a money thing. Really good backups like Gardner minshew types are still expensive.

He is busy please go away.

Yea i realized after I posted it was definitely not 9-3 and I was just doing it off the top of my head and someone corrected me right away so I didn’t bother to edit it. and yea I didn’t mean they were great but losing tua kills them. They just seem especially unprepared for it when they have a qb with a very delicate situation.

Yea I know it’s a sad state of affairs.

it costs a lot of money to fire a staff with years left and hire a whole new staff and pay the going rate for these young offensive minded head coaches. The brown family does not do that. I can't imagine they make any changes.

they dared the bills to keep running the ball. They were running all over them and for some reason they kept throwing the ball. Its why dorsey was fired. the bills should have run like 40 times that night but payton knew they would keep throwing the ball. wilson threw that lollipop TD in the endzone that should have been batted down but oh well. Then of course the penalty at the end. Nix makes this an entirely different game and so does the season nick benitto is having. also for fun the Broncos have 3 pro bowlers this year as opposed to the bills two. So they have more pro bowlers and a better head coach. I hope the media hammers this Broncos are going to win narrative all week. It is the perfect setup for Buffalo.

that is anti what they did this offseason though. They wanted size. They have samuels and shakir to play inside. they needed big guys on the edge for multiple reasons. I bet they draft another big guy this draft in the middle rounds somewhere.

Im not saying he shouldn't have had a better game yesterday but much like the preseason the balls thrown to him were not very good. Two of them were short. You can count me on the ledger of not putting too much into what he does with trubisky or white. If either one 0f them has to play the bills are cooked anyway. They both look pretty awful to me. Trubisky throwing anything beyond 5 or 6 yards looked pretty poor.
