The one player who I believe could really make a difference is Harrison Phillips. If he plays very well, I think that has a cascading impact on the rest of the line. On offense, I think it's Rick Bates. He's still the potential weak link, but if his play matches the last few weeks, the offense should be in good shape.

Other than the dozens stories and comments on social media, this is a correct take.

I liked Imus but not Stern. The problem with Imus is that the show lost it’s intelligent, comedic touch. The sketches and gags were very funny for about 10 years and then Imus got nasty and bitter. It was no longer well written, just a crank behind the mic. The show’s downfall was almost predictable. However, I still have a smile when I remember the vast cast of hilarious characters and skits they created. The now broadcasting legend, Mike Breen, was the sports guy for years. Breen is a seriously funny dude who had many classic bits. It may not sound funny, but in one bit he would give a straight report on a Division 3 Volleyball game as the only news the morning after the Super Bowl.

I mean, you get to live in London, so . . .

If Hurts only locks on one receiver, it may as well be Devonta Smith Or, just don't let the NFC East in for while.

Agree. Every time I watch Hurts I'm thinking, "What am I missing?" He's backup material.

Hurts seems incapable of scanning the field.

Jalen looks overmatched.

IMO, Cincy is at least a step below KC, the Bengals DEF is suspect and I'd rather have Bills at home. Fairly moot as there is little chance KC loses to Pittsburgh.

I really expected the Chargers to beat the Raiders, who aren’t that good.

Could be more entertaining. Won’t think about changes and how you remembered the book. I believe it’s fairly easy to follow along.

Will you be the one in the robot suit?

I read Station Eleven as well and also thought it would be difficult put on screen. The screenwriters seem to agree and significantly altered the story. One or two things bothered me but overall, I thought it was very good. Sorry to see it end.

First - Singletary/run game sans Josh. Second - Edmunds. I'm a fan of TE, but if he has a very good game, the Pats offense should stall.

Texans are mess. Culley seems like a good guy, the players apperared to like him, but he seems overmatched for today's NFL. In fairness, there are few coaches who could have succeeded in Houston this season and 2022 won't be much better. The team has a dead cap problem, still have the Watson issue. At least Culley has three more years on his contract. A nice retirement package.

I wish, but I don’t see how. Steelers have a decent defense but will be surprised if the score is within two touchdowns. Predict 27-10; with Mahomes not playing the 4th.

Wright makes money every time you click on his stuff.

From what I heard, it's a 3rd in 2022 and a 3rd in 2023.

You lost us at "miscast."

Fitzmagic is the only answer.

In college we would “case race.” It was stupid.

I think Fine get well lubricated before the show.

You characterize $3-4M difference as "huge increase" but also $3M ($15M-$18M) as "not that far off . . . First, despite consistent fan predictions/concerns that Edmunds will be paid Leonard, Warner and Wagner money, there is no, zip, nada, evidence that the Bills are considering that salary, no evidence that Edmunds will ask for that kind of money, or that Edmunds is expected to be offered that salary range. Per usual, no one associated with the Bills has said anything, and I've yet to see any non-Bill fan "cap expert" suggest that Edmunds is worth or will be paid like Leonard, Warner and Wagner. Second, many good football experts say Milano and Edmunds positions are interchangeable. I agree, to a point, but the Bills seem to play to their strengths - Milano as a missile to seek and destroy, while Edmunds is much more a space eater, making the pass game much more difficult. Clearly not everyone agrees, but I think the Bills believe Edmunds' skillset is much harder to replicate than Milano's. The Bills need them both to be an elite defense, but believe the Bills are willing to pay Edmunds more than Milano because Tremaine's replacement would be much, much harder to find, and those worth more to the team. Not unless terms start with two early first round picks.

Putting aside your axe to grind with Elway, in no way did I characterize Daboll to Denver as "easy." Denver has a path but that doesn't speak to chances for success.
