Imagine if the muppet head he chose was a certain green one

So I just got back from a loooong walk to try to pass some time. On the walk I saw a young couple who moved into my neighborhood last year, both grew up in Buffalo and we always exchange Go Bills. I noticed they had a new baby - turns out the wife went to Ohio State and is a big Buckeye fan and the baby was born on the night of the championship game last week. Of course they credit the Ohio State championship to the magic of their new baby - and consider it a good luck charm now for a Bills championship too - I'm all in on that. Bills by a Billion. One thing I didn't ask is if they named the kid Joshua - gonna assume yes which will make the mojo even more powerful

I've said before - have an intern follow the ref down the sideline and scream as loud as they can "74 is not lined up on the ball!!!!!!" every play that he isn't. At a minimum you're letting the ref know everyone sees it

In my dream the Bills were running 6 OL every play and just ramming it down their throat. I actually hope this is how they come out in the first half - run away from Jones, or at times double him and go right at him - neutralize their secondary. Establish dominance. Wear down their D to start the game then take advantage later with play action and spreading the ball all over the field

Another thing I will be happy to never hear again in my life is "Josh Allen is 0-3 against Mahomes in the playoffs" - the Bills are 0-3. I know it is a standard take to make wins/losses about QBs but this one is esp silly when you consider 13 seconds

I watched the 1st Q - it's crazy to see Frazier, Hughes, McKenzie, Basham, Beasley, a young Edmunds 😛 etc etc etc and know its only 4 yrs ago - seems like a lifetime ago

I'm hoping Babich actually does some things this game to recognize and account for Bishop being on the field, and not just run schemes without any consideration - not just "next man up"

I feel the same way about the smart/efficient offense continuing - to me though the Josh superman/cape thing will be in the form of using his legs more. If things are close esp in the 2nd half I expect them to unleash Josh more on called runs - there is no tomorrow and this is the time to exploit that advantage if they need to

Taron will play - but the shoulder will still be concerning. It could affect his play and very possible to aggravate it - even just reaching out with an arm. He's gutted it out before, but sometimes there's a limit

I was thinking about this the other day - Groot was drafted primarily to be the 'Mahomes-stopper' - with his mobility and length and presumed ability to actually grab and take Mahomes down as he was scrambling around. Not sure how much this has actually came true - has had some injuries and maybe Mahomes has adapted his game a bit. Would be nice to see some dividends this weekend

I was thinking OMG what a luxury to be able to field 3 legitimate NFL caliber LBs this time!

Not sure what the point of rating the stadium itself was when it's going to be torn down in a year - "It needs a facelift"????

Also related - don't think Von was playing to the level he is now

The solution to this is easy. The refs meet with Reid before the game and give a warning they are going to call it if they see it - Reid tells player. At the very start of the game, if you see it, you call it (maybe give one warning) - and tell the player you are going to call it. You set the expectation. If he continues to do it then you call it - you've warned the coach and player and are being consistent - if they don't get the msg theres nothing else you can do

McD and Josh looked totally spent after Ravens game - I figured it was just the grind but who knows maybe Josh was coming down with something too. On the other hand Dion looked GREAT on the field post game. Figure the team doctor is all over it. Wash your hands boys!

Chiefs have had so much rest and relaxation they'll put out a "Wellness" report

The "right direction" for Spector would be "too hurt to play" 😛

Because of our undersized D 😛 I still will never forget what a warrior Taron was his rookie season with his hurt shoulder - would play, jack it up (dislocate?) during game - walk to sideline with his arm hanging by his side - get worked on on the sideline / locker room then come back in the game. Week after week same thing - dude just kept going out there and getting wrecked and going back in for more. It was crazy/amazing

Also include interceptions that get wiped out by penalty

Ha ha more hate fuel with this POS

Makes up for the Josh MVP snub

Your problem is you are doing it wrong. You are not supposed to have any enjoyment during the season - you are supposed to be miserable - the only enjoyment you are allowed to have is if your team wins the SB. Do not celebrate or enjoy any team or individual successes during the season or playoffs - because they don't matter if you don't win the SB. Enjoyment at any other time for a team you are a fan of and root for is just a loser attitude 😛

Right now the thing that worries me the most is what possibly shows up on the injury report. There is so much speculation and unknown status about so many players right now. My biggest fear is having to play them again with a depleted roster - with them as healthy and rested for a playoff game as is possible in the NFL. You can say next man up, but it actually matters if multiple of your best players are out or not 100%
