News out of Baltimore is that Harbaugh is "irked" about the Ravens game getting moved to 4:25. It's more related to the fans who expected a 1pm start may be no shows for a later start due to NYE plans. But I like it, since it shows a tiny bit of angst within their organization and maybe just maybe it trickles down to the players.

The Bengals are gonna win. Balt is not going 6-1 to close the season out. Theyve won some close games down the stretch and they just aren't THAT good. Cinci is a big thorn in their sides at Baltimore in recent years. The question is can Buffalo beat Miami? I think the Phins will play hard and honestly the Bills are not that much better than Mia especially at their place.

Darby won em the game.

I think the Bengals upset the Ravens. Cinci plays good ball in Baltimore. Im sure the Jags don’t want to get swept by Tenn and then likely have to play them a 3rd time. my main concern is the Bills winning in Miami. I can see the other stuff happening but the Bills blowing it

I thought Gronks catch was the perfect play to let the call on the field stand. It was not obvious from replay that his toenail was on the white. So let it stand as a TD. The same call should have been made for Benjamin. Let it stand. Not enough to overturn what the ref viewed.

Points affected by ref calls NE +3 on borderline PI call Buf -4 on KB reversal NE +3 on 1st down reversal NE +7 on end zone PI I stopped caring after NE killed us in the 4th. Not the reason Buffalo lost but a factor

No chance they start Peterman. TT is not great by any means but he won’t usually kill ya and he has typically played pretty well vs Fish.

Well they don’t have any. Against Buffalo 2 for 10 yds, against Pittsburgh last weekend 2 for 4 yds. They are perfect... like cyborgs playing football. No holding, no blocks in back, no PI, no illegal substitutions, no hands in anyone’s face. Just perfect. In a sport where there is holding on every play Absurd.

Well. I'll give em like a 2% chance. And mainly because of the little rift this week between Belichek, Brady and his trainer guru. I'm hoping that's a tiny little crack in the foundation that will open up into a sinkhole.

There's really only two possibilities for this specific game...a very meaningful one for the Pats and Buffalo. Either the Bills get blown out. or The Bills stay right in the game till the end but still lose... and we look back on one turnover or one gut wrenching call (or bad call) that turns out to be the difference.

I bet the Patriots will be courting Tre White in a few years...

That kind of draft currency for Cousins is absurd. And what did NE get for Garoppolo again? and Jimmy is probably better in the long run. I'm not sure I would trade all those picks for the #1 overall selection in 2018, but I'd rather have that option than Cousins.

Yup. Belichek is too smart to let this go. During pregame stretching he will find the head ref and make sure he is aware that the Bills will be after revenge and he will remind the refs to be mindful of any extra shots during or after a play. Other than nice and hard legal tackling the Bills should not initiate any revenge stuff, it will cost em 15 yards every time.

Earlier this season ESPN (or some other site) said Sam Bradford would be the Bills QB. These sites are just taking a shot in the dark. no one knows. But I'd rather have Smith for a season than Bradford.

I still don't think the Ravens are all that good to win 6 of their last 7 games...and close the season on a three game winning streak. I feel like they will be tripped up once even though they will be favorites. Jaguars got killed by Tenn earlier in the season at home. No matter what, they will be trying to redeem themselves in that last game. No way the Jags mail that in. As for the Bills, the best i expect is 1-1 in the final two. So i guess we'll need some help.

Sounds like the Raiders version of our Brandon Reilly. The masses would freak out if Reilly was signed off the Bills practice squad.

I refuse to believe Miami comes up to Orchard Park two December's in a row and wins both.

Um, I'd rather be New England. But seeing as they have maybe the Best QB and Head Coach combo we will ever see....i think it would be much easier and more likely to become another Cincinnati.

Really hard for to blame an NFL training staff for players getting ankle, knee, hip, groin, hammy, concussion, etc....injuries. But maybe this staff enabled players to miss more games for minor injuries....or didn't adequately treat them so they could play.

I'd say F- everything else and go get Cousins. He wants nothing to do with DC after this season. He got jerked around too much by Bruce Allen. If Cousins becomes unattainable then move up to get one of the college guys. I'd stay away from Bradford, A. Smith, etc,,,

Geez, chill man. It's my opinion based on what I've researched about him after he was hired and when I've listened to him in interviews. Obviously I don't know this as 100% fact. I've never met the man. And I like Sammy, but on a very potent offense he has 34 rec. for 549 yards. That's puts him way down the list and as you mentioned he's been relatively healthy. For comparison, even Marquise Goodwin has 41 for 783. It amazes me that any decent WR we have in Buffalo is constantly hurt or nursing some nagging injury.

Agreed. Beane is the smartest guy in the room. He's the guy I want making decisions on how to build this team.

Hey no worries,, we have Nate Peterman.

yeah. it will exist but there will be some major changes. More and more people are suggesting that kids don't start tackling until 14 - 15 yrs old. And then not even in practice.

After listening to an interview with Peter King, he makes it sound like no one believes in... or wants to see BUF or TENN in the AFC playoffs. People would rather see wild card playoff games like Balt @ LA and KC at Jax. I don't think that has anything to do with the TV map but i thought that was interesting in how the masses feel about Buffalo.
