Possible… if you’re slow witted.

 

In the case of one of those nailed in MLB… Emmanuel Clase. At 27 years old and in his prime, Clase made $5M this year, rising to 6.4M in 2026 and 10M in 2027 & 2028!

 

When he would be THIRTY YEARS OLD!

 

What kind of idiot would jeopardize that by trying to get a few Benjamin’s for some golf rounds in the Off Season? 
Especially, when you’re only other skill might be thatching roofs back in the Dominican!

 

Are you aware of the current NBA betting scandal?

 

We're talking about guys who made over $100 million in their careers throwing games.

I can’t see us losing to the Browns. I don’t think we are going to lose again this regular seasons. Just need Miami to win next week.

Can we please leave Babich in Buffalo for this game? My god, think about the adjustment this defense made after halftime. Am I to believe Babich had a hand in that?

By the way, what adjustments were made? I saw the results, but I'm not sure what caused them.

Is this a real question... that Josh would willingly submit to being sacked so that his opponent can claim an NFL record???

 

Are you serious?

 

Draft Kings parlay!!! Yep, I'm serious lol

What adjustments? They moved the ball up and down the field in the first half scoring 24 pts, second half we hold them to 7 pts from a long TD run. It was almost like they fielded people off the street wearing our starters unis in the first half

One change was Jordan Phillips was off the field hurt.

The adjustments were that we blitzed more, Run blitz and on passing downs. Doubled our pass down blitzing percentage in the second half. 4th quarter we ran a 50% run blitz clip (22% in the second quarter for the record). Not sure what coverages we were running the second half but it looked like more man coverage, and I know they were bracketing Diggs when he was in the slot (bishop often had him over the top).

At best Shedeur should have 2 TD's and 2 INTs in this game. I would expect Browns to run as much as possible too.

The 2007 game in Cleveland was a literal blizzard and it was hard to see the players

I jut looked at the Chicago game stats:

 

Sanders threw 3 picks, no TDs, and was sacked 5 times

Sanders was the leading rusher with.... 24 yards????

 

That is brutal

 

I watched the game last night. Sanders has a better arm than I thought and one of his INTS was actually a perfect throw right past the defender. Jeudy had it bounce of his chest, and the defender just suddenly had the ball.

 

Before garbage time Sanders was 7-21 for 100 something yards. He will complete at least 2 deep balls that will send TBD into a panic, but hes got happy feet and some of the worst mechanics I've seen. Bills should cruise

 

Browns defense is good, but nothing the Bills can't handle

Agreed, but will this be another inexplicable stinker against sub-standard competition? Probably not, but the chances are certainly greater than zero

Baltimore to soften them up and Miami to deliver the knock out punch. I can see that.

Cleveland scares me.  We've had some really weird games against them.

yeah and I'm not sure why we are playing Ogunjobi more snaps than Deone Walker.

The Bears D does a little victory dance:

And of course the coach chimes in:

 

Two of Sanders' three giveaways came in the third quarter, the second on a well-placed end zone toss to Jerry Jeudy, who had the football wrestled away by Jaylon Johnson. The pass hit Jeudy in the chest, but he couldn't hold on.

"You get what you emphasize," Johnson said. "Every day we emphasize the ball."

Chicago scored 17 points off of Sanders' second-half mistakes.

 

Am I the only one who thought Dillon Gabriel showed some promise? I can't quite understand why they've given up on him in favor of Sanders, but good for us I guess.

Cleveland doesn't necessarily scare me, but those that think it's going to be a walk over because of their record I think are in for a rude awakening.  Despite what happened against the Bears yesterday, their defense is elite.  I highly doubt we get to 30, so it will be a matter of our defense matching their defense and winning the game like 24-14 or something like that.  I can easily see this being a 1 score game until the final minutes and putting it away with a FG or something like that.  Unfortunately, I think this will be another one of those games you want to, and expect to be, in control of but is more uncomfortable than you would like.

The only thing that truly scares me is Garrett. He’s playing at an otherworldly level right now, and it’s gonna suck if he breaks the record against Josh.
