As much as people may hate the Pats and Belichick, it was hard not to respect Brady for what he did over all those years. But now you have two people together, BB and Cam that makes it much easier to completely root against them.

Was thinking the same!

Rumor has it the reason this extension took so long was Peg's was trying to get Beane to agree to also take over the Sabres!

Actually some of the worse weather games have occurred in November too. Recall the weekend of the 51-3 Oakland game temps were in 50's?

Think he either restructures fairly significantly as in pay cut or he's gone. Cut Brown Morse, Butler, and Smith saves $22.1M Cut Addison could save another $6.25M. The $22M would allow them to resign Mongo, Milano, & Williamsand some mid range FA signings depending on the actual cap, maybe a legit edge rusher to replace Addison. While they don't use WAR in football directly, thinking about it from that standpoint, IMO justifies cutting Brown and have Davis take his spot and McKenzie Hodgins takes Davis role. To the comments about surrounding Allen with as many weapons, those weapons are Mongo, and Williams. Think they need them more than Brown.

I'd put Bledsoe in the "you can't teach an old dog new tricks category" so rule him out. Taylor, Fitz, Flutie all lacked arm strength Johnson could never stay healthy Manual and Losman not sure they just had the overall talent and likely were drafted much higher than they should have been. The only one left is Edwards who I'd give a maybe to, but would need to tailor the offense around his skills.

Likely there will be one CBS game flexed to the 4:00 slot which both the Bills Miami game and the Pitt Cleveland game are. There will also be one game flexed to Sunday night from either the CBS or Fox side. There are also two 4:00 Fox games scheduled, involving all four NFC west teams which good chance all four could still be in playoff chase at a minimum both games could determine seeding so as has been mentioned above likely they will want to keep both of those games going at the same time which they can do by keeping at 4;00 on Fox . So that leaves the Bills Miami game and the Pitt Cleveland game as the two most likely IMO to be moved to Sunday night and the other to 4:00 on CBS. Excluding those 4:00 Fox games, those are also the only two games where both teams are likely in the playoffs and could determine either division or wildcard seeding. PS I wish I knew how to resize the graphic below to make larger? LOL

Long term success like Hopkins with Texans, or OBJ with Giants, or Sammy in Buffalo? If you can get five years success out of almost any player these days you're doing good. To much can change to quickly to worry about ten years out. Recall maybe 4 or 5 years back all the talk about how Dallas would have the best O-line for the next ten years or so, how's that working? The one exception being QB IF you do find a good one, try and do everything to hang on, but that's often at the demise of affording other players. Even that's tricky, look at Tannerhill in Miami. Allen, Mahomes, maybe Murrey to be able to afford then, if/once they become top talent, you can't afford the #1 WR's and others, instead you need to keep drafting new ones on rookie contracts. Look at all the churn in Green Bay WR group over the years. Overall you need a ten year plan, but best to keep as few actual names in it as you can so not really thinking about what Jefferson can give you ten years from now.

Big deal! I guess I have a hard time believing that voters look that closely at the ranking of the opponent when deciding whom to vote for as opposed to actual performance. Maybe if it were against a really brutal team like the Jets or something. If it is based on defensive ranking Allen won the week he went up against Seattle.

I wonder if much of the Bills running issues are the result of lack of use. When you know all week from practice and seeing what the game plan is, and you see you are likely very little part of it, how's that affect you? Not that it's an excuse, but reality may be when they do call a running play, after starting a game with what was it against Seattle 19of the first 20 plays were passes, how ready are you really going to be?

The one thing you're likely way understating is how much Diggs being here has helped Allen. Jefferson never could have provided that as a rookie. Diggs also likely had helped Davis develop too.

I read they moved the Browns Giants game in week 15 to Sunday night, replacing Dallas V San Fran. A little surprised as San Fran still has outside chance and Dallas brings a big TV audience

See Wyatt Teller is now on Covid list

Actually I am surprised as Mayfield also had 4 TD, slightly better RTG and QBR and roughly 40 yard less passing and slightly lower completion percentage, but still just above 75%. I also thought they'd give it to Mayfield as very close between the two and just to spread the award around some. Glad Allen won it as from what I read never been won 3 times prior within one season by a Bill I'm imagine Browns fans are complaining how Mayfield got robbed.

Younger legs. May also be as a rookie he hasn't figured out yet how to pace himself and realize when he needs to sit out a play?

What a waste of roster spots, not one of these guys played even one offensive snap!! They are all lazy! Where's Chuck Bednarik when you need him? So I assume the ST snaps played by many of these guys is on punt returns as most of the times they are in a regular base defensive set, the one exception being Roberts replaced T Johnson. Edmunds, Klein, and Hyde must have been on the field for that last on sides kick attempt too as that gave their number a slight bump. D Johnson is the one regular ST player though wonder if his numbers will drop off if he starts playing more regularly or maybe he'll become the next Lorax.

You really wonder why some sports get bad ratings. The NCAA puts most of the games on CBS until you get to the Final 4, then lets move them to TNT cable only. Hockey was another terrible one, recall years back once you got to the playoffs one game would be on USA, then the next day ESPN, seem to recall 3rd network doing some of the games too. These days make it easy, for the most part very few games on at all other than home cable network.

Per Operations.NFL website To determine home-field priority among division titlists, apply wild card tiebreakers. TO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAM Three or More Clubs (Note: If two clubs remain tied after a third club or other clubs are eliminated, the tiebreaker reverts to step 1 of the applicable two-club format.) Apply the division tiebreaker to eliminate all but the highest-ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tiebreaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two wild card participants. Head-to-head sweep (applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others) Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four Strength of victory Strength of schedule Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed Best net points in conference games Best net points in all games Best net touchdowns in all games Coin toss #1 we're beyond as only one club per division tied #2 doesn't work as Pitt didn't play KC #3 all tied #4 doesn't count as not a minimum of 4 games #5 So does this mean the Bills win the tie breakers because of strength of victory? Strength of victory is the composite record of the teams that the team in question has defeated. Kind of makes sense the Bills would win that one as played the AFC & NFL west while Pitt played NFC east and AFC south and KC played AFC east which besides Bills and Miami isn't that strong and NFC south which again has two good and two weak teams though would think the last 4 games on the schedules of all three of these teams could change that?

If you promise to go with him, then I'm all for it!

But states you have to have a minimum of 4 common games, I only see three games we have in common. Chiefs are 3-0 2 wins against Denver plus Bills; Pitt 1-1, Beat Denver, lost to us ; Bills 1-1 lost to KC, beat Denver So then goes to Strength of Victory?? Don't see how as all three would have a total of two conference losses, Bills to KC and Tenn; KC to Miami and Raiders; Pitt to Bills and Cleveland. All three have one NFC loss . If the Chiefs loss instead of the Saints was to Chargers, then we'd win it, but the OP listed it as Chiefs losing to Saints as 3rd loss. There may be something wrong with site to as I flipped instead had Chiefs beat Saints, but lose to Falcons and number went down to 97% which is strange as it shouldn't make any difference if 3rd loss by Chiefs was to either Saints or Falcons as both non conference so something weird going on. It's also possible this site never updated changes for this year and thinks the top two seeds both get byes, then it would correct as site is NOT stating we have the overall #1 seed, it's just stating we'd have a first round bye.

The only problem with your logic is if there's a 3 way tie at 13-3 which you're showing, then I don't think the fact that we beat Pitt and lost to KC comes into play as Pitt never played KC. Likely next tie breaker would be conf record which based on your take would also be even, each have 2 conf. loses, then next I believe would go to record in common games which by a quick account KC gets the nod for #1, we'd then drop to #2 though it doesn't appear any of the 3 teams have enough common games to qualify so then may go to strength of victory whatever that means? Think the only was we could get to #1 is KC loses 3 out of 4 and we win out.

Agree, teams may more look for a guy who also has worked wonders with multiple QB's. On one hand you could argue Josh was never expected to do well so doing it with him is extra impressive, though think Allen's improvement is more on Palmer and Dorsey. On the other hand could argue once Allen had the mechanics down, with his cannon arm and size, Daboll's job was easy. Think he'll get interviews but not sure he's a sexy enough candidate to get hired this year. Teams are going to want more than one year proven track record.

Kind of surprised about Steven A as earlier he was praising him pretty good. Recall late last season Steven A going out of his way to admit he was wrong about McD, calling him a good coach, think it was after the Dallas or Pitt game last season. Will be interesting to see who gets AFC player of the week. My guess is Baker as also 4 TD's, better, better QBR and RTG, and almost as many yards. Maybe there's someone else in AFC with even better numbers this week that I'm not aware of but also think they'll give it to Baker as Josh already won it twice this year, I'd imagine they'd prefer to spread it around some. Hard to believe you can say Mayfield is better this season as just about every stat Josh is ahead of Mayfield. Career wise Mayfield is ahead some, but Allen certainly has caught up alot this year.

Yeah read that in an article stating he played every snap. I know the graphic listed Winters and would have sworn I saw him out there early. Guess not.

And not sure he's not that guy. With no pre-season and limited camp and a limited amount of running plays, Moss may become that guy. Look at D Henry, first two seasons did very little, 3rd year so-so, wasn't until last year he became a real stud.
