Kincaid Kool-Aid

Yes. Burrow, Chase and Higgins and even Chase Brown would absolutely destroy our D unless something drastically improves (this seems unlikely). Exhibit A: TNF vs. Pitt with Flacco in.

Fair point. I wouldn't normally have considered strength of schedule this early, but the way the AFC seems to be pretty muddied up already with most contenders having 2-3 losses, SOS could turn out to be a huge factor come end of season.

Fair point. Unfortunately, I don't see Jacksonville Barbie leading them out of a 3 TD hole.

I see an around the league thread but nothing specific listing out rooting interests for each matchup (mods, feel free to merge if needed). Ok. Set me straight on any of the below: Cinci/Pitt (Cinci won): struggled with this one. On one hand a Pittsburgh win would've created a bigger hole for Baltimore. On the other, a loss keeps them at pace with the Bills early on in the season for playoff seeding. That said, if Flacco can rip off a bunch of wins and turn it back to Burrow, I don't love that come playoff time (also, Cleveland has to be the dumbest team in North American Sports). Still not sure what to think after this one, but always enjoy seeing Rodgers lose (and look pissed off doing it to boot). Rams/Jags: Rams Saints/Bears: don't care (unless a NO loss leads to increased willingness to trade us a receiver) Pats/Titans: Titans Panthers/Jets: honestly, does it matter? But go Panthers. Raiders/Chiefs: do I need to even say it? Dolphins/Browns: again, does it really even matter? But go Browns (even though they are a criminally stupid and morally bankrupt organization) Eagles/Vikes: I live in Philly so on one hand its good if the Birds win for my general quality of life. On the other hand, popcorn is ready to go if the Eagles drop 3 straight. Giants/Broncos: Broncos actually - want to maintain as much pressure as possible on KC in that division Colts/Chargers: see above. Would also be good for Indy to get a second L for playoff seeding Packers/Cardinals: Pack I guess? But again, popcorn is ready if Green Bay manages to lose another winnable game Commanders/Cowboys: screw Jerry and the horse he rode in on Falcons/Niners: Niners because I'm spiteful and small man Bucs/Lions: Lions Texans/Seahawks: Seahawks. Although Houston doesn't appear to be a threat this year, enjoying Stroud's continued struggles after proclaiming himself a top 5 QB over Allen

Just try and tear me away from the TV when this rolls out. I'll be there with my mom, aunts and grandma with a bottle of rose and a box of kleenex.

Is it me or does this guy look a lot like Chappelle? In this pic specifically, Ty Biggums.

Well don't you just have an answer for everything!

What do you mean? Once you get the Clapp isn't it always the right answer to get rid of it as fast as humanly possible?

Touche salesman - but I still admire the effort by the fine writers on the site

Lol, gotta love NFL.com...pro bowler Gardner Minshew

Most punchable face in the league?

First thought went to oh god, are they going to make a play for Hendrickson now? But, if the working theory is that Cinci has no interest in trading him to us, they probably have even less interest in moving him to KC unless they get absolutely blown away with an offer they can't refuse (and if that were to happen, hopefully KC would have to give up so much it ends up biting them. Bonus points if they get him, pay him 30+ apy and he does his best Von ACL impression).

Third time's the charm

Was going to boycott the game and had a change of heart at the last minute. SO glad I did. That was GLORIOUS to behold and I loved every second!

Sad to hear. One of the poster children of the drought years, but seemed to be a genuinely good guy, and as others have said, its not like he had much to work with during his time here. During training camp one year I'm at a Barnes and Noble and look over and there is he is by himself, totally unassuming over by the checkout desk trying on some reading glasses. I went over to say hi quick, and he couldn't have been nicer. RIP and condolences to his family.

One of the most logical, balanced posts I've seen in a while! Yes, Josh threw a bad ball. He's allowed to from time to time since he's a human being, not a machine (despite all evidence to the contrary). Yes, if you play the percentages, a scenario like this is likely going to happen to you at some point if you sign up to run or catch passes in the game of tackle football. It happens.

Well, Von made sure he got the last laugh jogging away from Surtain after the game.

Love the full weekend of football! That said, most of the Saturday & Sunday matchups with the exceptions of Rams/Cards, Broncos/Bengals and Packers/Vikings are not super compelling just looking at the matchups at face value. I suppose a few get more interesting factoring in potential playoff implications but still. Wonder if there's any chance we get moved into the late afternoon or Sunday night slots.

Selfishly hoping if the stars align and we make it to the big game, its not against Philly. I live in Philly and walk around pretty much every day with some sort of Bills gear on. I generally get a lot of genuine support since we're not a rival and people here seem to like the Bills, but I imagine that will all change drastically if we end up squaring off for all the marbles. Definitely don't want to be public enemy #1 here in Philly leading up to the game and if we win, and definitely don't want to deal with the gloating if we lose lol. Plus, Philly just scares the crap out of me with their elite lines, run game and pass catchers that are likely to give our defense fits. Would want to see Detroit or even Minnesota, given if we lost to either of them I'd at least feel good for that fanbase getting their long-awaited title.

Thanks! Given the night game and the weather and not knowing if there would be NFTA service disruptions we ended up driving after all. Parked at Kettle's Korner which I know is a bit more expensive but was nice to have access to the bar/indoor bathrooms for a bit (especially for the wife!) and was relatively easy access getting back out given we were heading back North after the game. NFTA definitely something to consider for sure next time we make it up, especially for a day game!

Related to the game for those who may be travelling in from out of town or might live close to the departure point and may not want to drive back and forth to the stadium, we need 2 more riders today to confirm the Rally Bus leaving from the Aloft Buffalo Airport hotel to the stadium and back. Great way to go to the game to be able to comfortably have a few drinks without driving or worrying about parking. Gets you to the stadium around 4:30pm to allow for some tailgating time and picks up after the game ends. https://rally.co/bills-49ers/from/aloft-buffalo-airport-ny I didn't, but those inclined can add optional food and drink packages to the ticket as well. Go Bills!

In case anyone is staying at or near the Aloft Hotel Buffalo Airport for the Bills v. 9ers game on December 1, we need 2 more riders today to confirm the bus from the hotel to the stadium and back. Great way to go to the game to be able to comfortably have a few drinks without driving or worrying about parking. Gets you to the stadium around 4:30pm and picks up after the game ends. https://rally.co/bills-49ers/from/aloft-buffalo-airport-ny You can add optional food and drink packages to the ticket as well.

Curious if anyone has a pair they are looking to unload. Hoping to spend $600 or less total but can negotiate depending on the seats.

hi OP - still planning to go to 49ers game?

Love the idea, but probably not realistic when I'm already coercing my football agnostic wife to the game with god knows what weather will be in store at midnight in December lol
