I thought Brady might still have some big game magic in him, but yesterday is the first time that I've ever thought he's finally washed. People have written him off over and over, and it's always been premature, but that second half Bucs performance against the Bengals was the most pathetic display of football that I've ever witnessed. They literally just kept giving the Bengals the ball deep in their own territory... I've never seen anything like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fields is tough to stop no doubt but they are very one dimensional. They are playing with a bunch or practice squad wr’s Yesterday's results. Eagles 25 Bears 20. Eagles favored by 9. Eagles probably the best team in the league. Also, Bills favored by 7 over Dolphins, Bills by 10 over Jets, etc...Bills were big favorites over Clev, Det, and Minn too. Every one of those games were close. Only game Bills covered that was a bigger spread was the NE game. In short, the rational of the Bills being 10 point favorites doesn't indicate a blowout is coming. No one is doubting the Bills are the better team. However, thinking this game is a blowout is not how I see it. The last blowout game was week 5 vs Pitt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Justin Fields has come right out and said that achieving the single season QB rushing record is his big objective for the rest of the season. Figure out a way to limit that dude's rushing output (I know, way easier said than done), and this should be a comfortable win. And by limit, I mean keep him to 70 yards instead of 170.

Not sure how good their snow plowing is for a city that size and with the snow expected to be blowing around causing whiteout conditions. Chicago airports and Chicago/environs have good snow removal capability. That said, Chicago airspace and Chicago are both a MESS when it snows, way worse than you see in Buffalo. Reasons are that Chicago airspace is among the most dense in the country. Airport scheduling at O'Hare assumes good weather, but when weather is bad, the landing capacity of the airport is drastically reduced (IIRC, O'Hare's two main runways are too close to allow both to be used under instrument conditions). Similar with the streets - Chicago traffic is normally a snarl in good weather because just so many people on the roads. When roads need to be plowed and following distance really should increase to allow for poor braking, it's total gridlock. Maybe it's improved post-Panini with more people WFH, I don't know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are supposed to fly into Miday on Friday. When plans were made, we were all going to Bills game(host family and mine). Pretty much decided last week that was prolly of the table unless host gets access/invites for 8 to a suite, and that has not happened yet LOL. Now we have to decide if its worth even going. Even if we get inThursday morning, Saturday and Sunday look so cold in their house for 3 days.

All it takes is one or two times for it to happen and then it becomes a fan narrative that isn't actually supported by the data in the long-term. Thinking about trap games, fans naturally ignore when it doesn't happen like that, just chalking it up to the better team overcoming the potential for a trap game, but those rare times when they do lose, fans jump on it and see it as proof of the trap game, even though they have many examples to the contrary.
