The fact that he's home and not in the hospital or a rehab facility is a very good sign.

Can't be in Detroit: https://lionswire.usatoday.com/2023/01/06/ford-field-turf-replacement-neutral-site-playoff-game-venue/ The NFL is mulling the possibility of a neutral site for the AFC Championship game in the wake of the cancellation of the Bills/Bengals game in Week 17. Detroit’s proven ability to accommodate teams as a neutral site venue made Ford Field a distinct possibility to host the game, but it won’t happen. Per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Ford Field will be unavailable to host the game. That’s because the Lions are replacing the field turf inside the stadium in January, a process they previously set up. Detroit cannot host any playoff games even if the Lions make the postseason, as the Lions would be the No. 7 seed and on the road for any playoff dates.

No wonder Cincy is so PO'd. They were the biggest loser in the vote.

If the Bills have one fewer loss than KC, we get the tie breaker & no need for a neutral field, but if the Bills have one fewer loss than Cincy & we play them, then it's on a neutral field since Cincy never got the chance to win & beat us for the #1 seed in the cancelled game.

Cincy is also upset that if the Chiefs lose they can't get the #1 seed & the bye while the Bills are in position to get the bye if the Chiefs lose.

I've been watching NFL Network & they don't mention this scenario. KC loses, Bills win, Cincy loses-All seeds are the same as if the game was played and either team won. The guys on NFL Network are not considering the possibility that the Raiders beat the Chiefs on Saturday. GO RAIDERS

Rosen.

If KC gets the #1 seed, home field & a bye without any compromise solution I'll be complaining until the Bills win the AFC Championship.

If KC loses & the Bills win then there's no need for anything since even if you count the Cincy game as a loss, the Bills & KC would have the same record and the Bills would be the #1 seed since they'd win the head to head tie breaker. The only problem with that is the Bengals could claim that if they won the Bills game, they would be the #1 seed.

Proof that the #1 babe magnet is money.

Use the bottle tonight to celebrate Damar's progress & get a new bottle for the playoffs.

For the neutral field. If it's Bills vs Cincinnati-Detroit. If Bills vs KC-Indianapolis This is based on the distance between the two teams & the neutral site. In both these scenarios the distance to the neutral site is close to equal. KC to Detroit is much further than Buffalo to Detroit. Cincinnati is too close to Indy to be considered. If it's KC-Cin I don't care where they play it. For clearly selfish reasons, because it's the closest stadium, play it in NJ.

He's bi-racial, his father is black. The 49ers received extra draft choices when McDaniel was hired by the Dolphins.

Kyle Shanahan is a lock for coach of the year. He's down to his 3rd QB, Mr. Irrelevant Brock Purdy, a rookie 7th round pick and all the 49ers do is win. McDermott is OUR coach of the year but in the NFL it's Shanahan.

This would be very stupid because 1) Is it McDaniel's fault he's down to Skylar Thompson at QB? 2) This is the big one-after the Flores lawsuit firing another minority head coach after one season would look very bad & sending the minority GM out the door with him even worse. If they then replace McDaniel with a white guy they would get destroyed in the media. In fact there might even be protests outside the Dolphins stadium.

Peterman ruined 2 road trips for me. I was in LA for his 1st start vs the Chargers & then again on opening day 2018 when I was hoping to see Josh start. Peterman got benched in both games.

If that's the case or even later during the playoffs, I'd expect Damar to record a message to the fans that will be played on the scoreboard right after the national anthem. The crowd would go insane.

Will you do your usual routine? Dress Up? Tailgate? Cheer as loudly? Drink as much? I imagine the atmosphere has to be somewhat subdued.

I have faith they're not losing tonight, so I believe they can go on the road to Arizona on 2/12 & bring home the Lombardi Trophy.

The annual Jim Harbaugh back to the NFL thread based on what some guy said it on Twitter. If it's near the end of NFL season & there are coaching jobs, someone will Tweet it. Congrats to Bruce Feldman for being the 2023 guy.

I hate to tell you, but 2018 already happened. Seriously, if the Bills win the AFC next season they'll be in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl.

Things were a lot different when the Bills had bad teams. I lived in Long Island in the early to mid 1980s when the Bills were a laughingstock & never saw any Bills fans. I didn't see any when I went to NYC either during that time. I imagine it was pretty much the same in the drought years. When teams have a star at QB & they're Super Bowl contenders suddenly fans pop up all over the country.
