Low Positive

As @Boatdrinks mentioned above, Patrick Mahomes hasn’t had a wind game this year. He hasn’t even had to play in light rain. Didn’t even have a heat game. Somehow, he has had nearly perfect conditions for 15 straight games despite playing in an outdoor stadium. It was cold in KC on Sunday, but no wind and no snow. This Sunday in KC? Partly sunny and 51 with no wind. Monday night in Cincinnati? Rain with the chance for thunderstorms. Sometimes you just gotta laugh.

Russ is absolutely fixable, but you have to get it through to him that his strengths are not as a pocket passer. Then a coach has to bring in an OC that will run the only offense that he was successful in that has very simple reads and allows for a lot of off-schedule plays (letting Russ cook). Darrell Bevell, the coach who scouted and drafted Wilson and developed the offense that led Russ to the SB, is currently QB coach in Miami and would probably take that OC job in Denver.

Chargers above the Bengals? The same Chargers who lost to the Raiders and only beat the Cardinals by one point within the last month?

This is not as crazy as you all are making it sound. Josh Norman actually started 14 games for the 49ers last year.

Steven Ross wants to win a SB so bad just to stick it to Goddell for punishing him for the penalties for tampering.

Tua is under incredible pressure to be “tough.” http://amp.awfulannouncing.com/espn/tua-tagovailoa-reveals-his-father-beat-him-with-a-belt-for-interceptions-gameday-crew-laughs-about-joe-jackson-methods.html

Not to turn this into a Tua thread, but yesterday I noticed that he has a really long straight-armed throwing motion. Like he’s throwing a javelin.

Kay Stevenson and Hank Bullough were by far the two worst coaches that the Bills ever had.

MVP! MVP!

The Packers have the #2 ranked D against the pass.

Maybe arm strength doesn’t matter after all.

I don’t think so. That Kyle Shanahan system just asks so little from a QB. One read throws to fast dudes in space and hand offs.

Brock Freaking Purdy is proving you right in SF.

Waddle’s speed makes a lot of guys take bad angles.

Can”t blitz the Fins, especially if you don’t disguise it pre-snap.

Mahomes has never played a road playoff game. Let’s change that.

Remember, the Bengals only beat the Bucs because they turned the ball over on 4 straight possessions. They are not actually playing all that well right now, but just like in the playoffs last year they are getting extremely lucky. If Stevenson doesn’t fumble today they would have lost. The Bills have to get pressure with four and get some sacks on Burrow. Yes, Chase and Higgins will make plays but their secondary gives up plays and the weather should be good. I have watched at least part of every Bengals game this year and I really like the Bills chances.

People complaining about this game seem to have forgotten that this Bears team gave the mighty Philadelphia Eagles all that they could handle just last week.

People, the Bengals almost lost to the Pats today. If Stevenson doesn’t fumble, they would have lost.

I never thought of this but you’re probably right.

Same ole Jets

When the Jets lost last week their season was over. They know it.

That hagiography of Saint Prime at Jackson State seems a bit awkward now.

You’ve covered most of it, but I would also suggest going up to Mt Adams. It really is a unique place that feels like another country from an architectural standpoint.

But @virgil made the same point today about expectations making the wins less fun and nobody had the same reaction. I mean, I usually don't agree with @Einstein but I saw what he meant with that post back in September.
