How the hell is this game 25-0? I last saw the score at 8-0 near halftime and thought this was gonna be another primetime snooze fest.

All I know is, my fingers hurt because the Jets is slammin' our super bowl window shut.

This is exactly what I do - for the very same reason (poor experience in cheaper seats). I go to one game a year, and it's worth spending a few extra bucks on club seats to weed out the riff raff. It hasn't failed me yet for 15 years.

Can we please stop the Singletary handoffs in the shotgun?

Next week is going to be interesting... we'll see if the Jets are for real.

Tennessee is getting one because they want to host a Super Bowl. Nashville is a desirable enough location, with enough high grade hotels that they could pull it off. Buffalo just isn't, and that's OK. Some of the best NFL cities - Green Bay, for instance, will never host a Super Bowl, even if they had a dome.

If the canopy is too big - you're going to end up with the old Texas Stadium with its ridiculous hole in the roof. This feels fine - looks like the decks above the lower deck are all covered so the option is there if you want it. I kind of like the idea that those who wish to brave the elements are rewarded with better/closer seats.

I mean... Chroise (there's a word I haven't heard around here for a while) + Bill Walsh's top recommendation couldn't be wrong? Right?

The 2008 Bills say hi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Buffalo_Bills_season#Schedule_2

I tend to agree with this. His ceiling is a mediocre quarterback that might be good enough to compete for a wild card spot. In a division with Jackson and Burrow, it's not good enough.

Bills, Chiefs, and Eagles are three easy ones. For the other three, I'm gonna go with the Giants, Vikings, and... the Jets. Can't believe I said that.

This times 1000. Most teams would kill for our depth chart at WR. You do not trade for players based on what could happen. You trade for players at the deadline to fill immediate needs. There is no need on this team for a WR. By this same logic we should be going after a LB - what if Milano gets injured and we're stuck with Edmunds and Dodson? That proposition seems a lot scarier to me than (Diggs or Davis) and Shakir as WR1 and WR2. Or what about trading for a kicker? After all, what happens if Bass is injured and we can't kick PATs?

I have not watched a lot of the Jets this year... they actually look halfway decent. Not elite by any means, but they aren't a joke anymore.

I don't understand why so many people feel like we need someone else on top of Diggs and Davis or some other running back. If anything, this team needs OG help.

There are two common fouls that result in a loss of down - intentional grounding, and an illegal forward pass where the pass occurs beyond the line of scrimmage. These fouls fall into the same category - the offense is doing something especially egregious to avoid a bad play like a sack (intentional grounding), or to try to draw a penalty after a gain which would result in an additional down (as an illegal forward pass is a spot foul). I think the second case is the interesting one. Say it is 2nd and 20. The quarterback gains 10 yards on a run and is about to get tackled. He heaves the ball forward and it's incomplete. That's a 5 yard penalty from the spot of the foul. If not for the loss of down, it'd be 2nd and 15 instead of 3rd and 15. Basically - loss of down is there to prevent the offense from doing something like taking a penalty or throwing the ball nowhere and cancelling out a good play by the defense. OPI doesn't fit into this category.

It's not Jets week yet... but I'm happy to see Spags is alive and well this season. How's your pretty boy QB doing?

Good field position... for the love of all that is holy, feed Singletary!

Get the ball to Singletary on first and second - he's gotta be averaging 6ypc. Keep doing it until they prove they can stop it.

This is very much not the right advice - the mileage range is often marketing hype with very little truth behind it. Those "150 mile" antennas aren't going to get you a signal from 150 miles away. The height, terrain, and trees make a much bigger difference. You need to determine if your CBS station is VHF or UHF (use rabbitears.info) and get the appropriate type and size antenna from one of the major manufacturers - Channel Master, Winegard, Antennas Direct, or Televes. If the physical channel is 2-13, it's VHF, otherwise it's UHF. If you have line of sight, and you're within say 20 miles of the antenna with no ridges inbetween, you can probably get away with an indoor antenna. If you're 20-40 miles away or you have a ridge between you and the tower, a medium sized outdoor antenna or an antenna in the attic should be fine. Anything more than 40 miles or in mountainous/forested areas calls for a large antenna. "Antenna Man" on youtube is a good resource for antenna tests and narrowing your list down to a few options.

That's the mindboggling thing. They could have spent this on the Sunday Ticket contract and forced a prime subscription to get access to that. Instead, Apple is gonna outbid them. These Thursday games are middling crap that usually get the C or D crew on Sunday afternoons. How this is worth a billion dollars is beyond me.

For week 18 - if home field is in the balance with KC, we will likely be playing at 4:25pm since KC will be in Las Vegas for week 18, and thus the game cannot start at 1pm. The NFL likes to have teams with interdependent games playing in the same time slot so that they maximize the number of meaningful games.

Wow they're gonna get the ball back...

Scored too quick there...
