Mark my words, the Browns will screw this up. They will find a way.

I loved the energy from it on Sunday, but I thought the specific choice of song was strange. My 67 year old dad wasn't quite sure what to make of the lyrics as it seemed rather... explicit? It was kind of weird to be there with my dad while that was blaring. I am not a music guy so I had never heard the song before. There are better choices... Enter Sandman? Final Countdown? I do like that it isn't forced but otherwise it was kind of awkward for me.

Please don't put the cat down. My wife and I rescued a foster cat last year. She was a senior that has diabetes and thus was deemed "unadoptable" by the shelter. We took her in, and she's been an amazing addition to our household. She's on my lap right now living her best life. She deserved a fair shake. Yes, she typically needs a shot of insulin twice a day, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not a huge deal. I can almost guarantee you that you will be able to find someone who will take your cat.

If I were Baltimore here... I'd be playing for the FG to kill as much time as possible off the clock.

Part of me really wanted to see him bungle that goal line ridiculousness and fumble the ball out of the end zone.

Jerruh is the perfect fit. He too only has a few years left and wants to go all-in on a championship.

Well?

Buffalo's hotels really aren't that bad. They are not luxury hotels by a long shot, but I've never had any issues finding a good place to stay. I've stayed at several different hotels and they've all been fine. My favorite areas are East Aurora (for convenience to the stadium, Bar Bill, etc), Williamsville, and the airport. I've stayed downtown a few times and that is also nice, but imo is too pricey for what you get when you factor in things like parking. Generally I prefer staying east of Orchard Park because it's much easier to get in/out of the smaller parking lots there, right onto 20A for an easy exit without dealing with the Thruway or the stadium lots. The Hampton in East Aurora is my favorite if I can book it on points. That is where we will be staying for the upcoming KC game. The only higher-tier hotel I would actively avoid in the area is the Hyatt Regency. I usually choose Hyatts as I find their loyalty program to be excellent, but the Buffalo property is a hard pass until renovations take place.

Alright, can the Jets blow a 2 possession lead with under 3 minutes to go? If any team can, it's this one.

lol... Sell the team! Sell the team!

The third down nonsense from the Jets PA guy reminds me of us blowing the train horn on third down 56-10 against the Patriots back in 2007. If the crowd isn't into it... it sounds really bad.

I want the Jets to win but holy cow watching them play this poorly, especially Rodgers, is so deeply satisfying.

OMG this game is amazing.

There are a lot of factors why Bills fans showed up to this one: Seattle is... isolated. It's the closest NFL city for several major metropolitan areas, including Portland and Vancouver, BC. It's the closest stadium for several western states, and especially given that the 49ers are another NFC team, this was the closest the Bills were going to get for many people for the next four, if not eight years. As mentioned, the Bills only play once every eight years here. Most other NFL cities have an AFC team closer by where they could see the Bills more often. The three closest AFC teams - the Chargers, Raiders, and Broncos, are all about 1,000 miles away by plane from Seattle and further by car. Seattle fans are not high on this year, and that made tickets widely available at low prices. As a point of comparison, I paid less for 30-yard line club level tickets here than I did for the game in three weeks in Orchard Park against the Chiefs, at the 10 yard line and not under cover. Seattle, while it has its problems, is an attractive game to travel to for east coast fans. The away game choices this year are Miami, Foxboro, New York, Baltimore, Houston, Seattle, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, and Detroit. Seattle is a hub for Delta and Alaska, and that makes airline tickets fairly competitive and cheap. So yeah... I am not surprised the place was packed with Bills fans. I was there eight years ago for the Monday night game - when it had been 12 years since the last time the Bills visited Seattle. It was similarly packed with Bills fans then, even though Russ was still cooking for the hawks.

The AFC East over by November first? Josh will see to it. Train wrecks and the fins Things with a lot in common Tua conducts both. Wish it were colder? Oh, what folly McDaniel, Your hot seat is warm!

As much as I despise the boys... that particular award has much better candidates. Watson and Cleveland are #1, Russel Wilson and Denver have to be up there as well. I'd say Rodgers and the Jets was also worse.

So what's Jerruh gonna do about McCarthy?

I think someone should tell him that he was cooked a bit too much. I like my carpaccio nice and rare, preferably with capers and some nice crostini.

There is truth to this. My wife and I live in Woodinville (actually, unincorporated King County). We do not visit Seattle unless we have to. It was so bad at one point that judges were throwing a fit because jurors showing up for jury duty didn't feel safe enough to walk outside the courthouse. I think the last time we were there was for Book of Mormon at the Paramount in January... which honestly wasn't too bad as it was unseasonably cold and kept the riff raff out. Generally speaking, when I do go, I try to avoid Pioneer Square, the area around city hall and the King County courthouse, and 3rd Avenue (which is the main north-south route that busses use). If anyone traveling here wants to get a taste of the area and is outdoorsy, I'd highly suggest doing something like hiking as opposed to touring the city. The area around Issaquah has some excellent trails that are easily accessible from I-90. Poo Poo Point and the West Tiger trails have some excellent views of the area. If anyone visiting is in to wine tasting, Woodinville has over 100 tasting rooms with some excellent options. Would highly recommend Delille (including their restaurant), Mark Ryan, Fidelitas, Love that Red, and Adrice, amongst others. My wife and I are pretty into the wine scene here; we recently got our WSET level II award from a local provider. I'd be happy to give specific recommendations to anyone of similar mind :).

I will be there... my once-in-eight-year opportunity to see the Bills with just a half hour's drive versus a cross-country flight. Don't underestimate the Seahawks. They are not a great team but they aren't incompetent like the Jets and Seattle is a tough place to play. For some reason I have a bad feeling about this game, maybe it is BBFS kicking in I dunno.

It is great to watch the Jets get pounded like this. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Gotta love the Bronx cheer for Bass there.

I'm not on this train yet for two reasons - McDermott and Bass. The former needs to prove himself capable of making sound decisions late in close games. The later needs to get his head on straight or be replaced. We all laugh but the kicker IMO is one of the most critical pieces to a playoff roster. These games are close and it's therefore extremely important to convert PATs and make 45+ yard field goals - often in adverse January conditions.
