It seems like the ‘same position in the division’ games double up which I didn’t realize.  I knew the ‘you play this division every 4 years’ games rotated each time.

 

we played kc two years in a row due to ‘finished in the same position in the division’ and were on the road both times and next year we will be on the road for ‘playing the entire afc west’ game 

 

if my calculations are correct we should get a bunch of home games in a row after 2023 assuming we finish in the same position in the division as them 

I think that's right.

 

Separately, for the 17th game, since we played Washington at home, then LA on the road, we should get either the NFC North or South next year, and could be home or away, I guess.  If we win the division should be GB or Tampa?

Yeah to miss 4 games with an ankle injury seems like a lot…. Was Ed’s ankle a high ankle? Cause I just thought it was ankle…. Didn’t seem serious but he’s played like 2 Qtrs this year

I tried to copy and paste but it wouldn’t work. They basically said it wasn't a good development that McKenzie was still in concussion protocol.

 

they said if McKenzie couldn't go, pick up shakir who should be the starter at slot

 

 

 

This is how most concussion protocols go.  He will either be cleared tomorrow or Sunday morning.

They clearly don't understand how the 5 step process works to clearing a player.  I would not trust any information from that site...they are a bunch of hacks that don't do their homework.

wait what happened to Poyer? I saw him on Pat McAfee earlier in week talking about this game...

He hasn't practiced all week.  Apparently, he hurt his ribs during that INT at the end of the game. He said he was fine and just had the wind knocked out of him.  Obviously there was something wrong.

I guess this time the Bills JV team will have to beat Pittsburgh.  Most of these guys better be rested and ready for Arrowhead.

They got 5 DTs.  One has to sit.  I think Ed plays and Phillips sits one more week and is ready for KC.

Jones, Settle, Bryant and Oliver will be more than enough to give the PIT(T) rookie fits.

Well, Pickett will get to face a beaten up defence. We'll be leaning a lot on Von Miller and Matt Milano.

Hate Knox being missing too; time to step up, Morris.

Better for that to be the injury listing for this week than next week, I suppose. I wonder if the trip to Arrowhead is playing a part in the decisions being made?

I'll be surprised if we see Oliver or Phillips in the game if the D is doing fine without them this week.  Guessing Edmunds is out.  If Davis is 100% I expect to see something out of him this week.  He's been MIA since he came back.

No Po, no Hyde; no Tre, no Trenaine, no Ed, no JPhillips, no Benford… no problem!!!

It’s a strange dichotomy given Gabe clearly shouldn’t have been playing these past two weeks but he’s taking more snaps than Diggs. 
 

Meanwhile, everyone else is sidelined at the drop of a hat.  (Not necessarily disagreeing with that strategy).

How is Edmunds Questionable as DNP all week and Poyer already ruled out? 

 

Obviously they feel it's a less serious injury and are holding out hope that maybe allowing him to rest it will give him a chance to play with continued treatments

That’s a pretty stupid system lol but it looks like the answer.  I would’ve alternated the division placement games too.  So now we will be away for the chiefs game one more time next year and then we will be home 3 times in a row

Of course it is and it should be factored in.  I'm sick and tired of playing KC on the road in the playoffs and I'm sure Sean is too. Give most of these guys an extra week to heal and hope our depth and QB1 can get us this W.  But of course the devils advocate argument is we better not lose to a Steeler team w/o TJ and a rookie qb making his first start.  Then this board will lose their $#!?
