Cooks, Gilmore, Parsons all expected to play for Dallas, despite missing time during the week with unspecified illness - per Ian Rapoport

Cowboys have played 13 games - 9 in domes, Game time temp for other four - @ Giants - 74, @ SFO 78, @ Eagles 64, @ Panthers 65. FWIW

Make fumbling the ball into the end zone that goes out of bounds/over then end line - a penalty [5?, 10?, 15? yards] from the spot of the fumble on the team that had possession before the fumble. The fumbling team keeps the ball, but are backed up from the goal line a bit.

Watching the replay, I see that they called Josh "In the Grasp" on a completion, but when Mahomes is grabbed by a defender in the last series, and flings the ball, it's an incomplete pass. Another area where officials are inconsistent.

Yeah Bills don't have enough tiebreakers to make it with 7 losses, 11-6 or bust is the only way I see them making the playoffs.

With losing his center Williams for the year, the guy who calls pass protections, and just happened to be the top rated center in the league when he got hurt. that's a significant downgrade to his O-Line. Do teams start upping the pressure on Tua, esp with Cheetah at less than 100%.

Brown has played 99.7% of the offensive snaps, is graded in the top half of tackles in the league and his cap hit is $1.2MM. You have a quarterback with an $18MM Cap hit [scheduled to be $48MM next year], you have 3 guys with a combined cap hit of $32MM on IR. Our capologist better be a wizard. Of the 7 current playoff teams, Chiefs, Jags, Browns, & Steelers all have starting tackle sets ranked below Dawkins and Brown.

Once Gilmore left us - doubtful he would ever return, esp when he was desired by the wealthiest franchise in the game.

I ran the NY Times simulator, picking current team with better W-L for all but the Bills games, from what I see, Bills have to win out to get a WC, otherwise they need a LOT of help. This week is major, and have to beat Miami in Wk18.

That throw to Murray as he's airborne moving backwards out of bounds was something I'm not sure any other QB in the league could pull off.

Anyone think the two back to back holding calls on our tackles after the Murray "catch" were scripted?

The players union will have to agree to 18 games. That will probably require either expanded rosters and/or practice squads, and a larger salary cap and it's doubtful the union will settle for a mere 1/17 (5.9%) increase in the cap to allow this massive revenue generator for the owners.

And who do Moss, Ford and Singletary play for these days? 4/7 on this list isn't a great draft record, esp since this board has been fairly unhappy with Brown for the past three season.

The two referee crews that have had neither team this season are Rogers and Torbert. Will be interesting to see if either one of those has the game

The blocked kick was a great play by Jalen Carter - tough to blame that one on Bass, didn't see any snafu's on the kick.

Well, special teams gave up the OT punt return in the first Jets game, 12 men on the field on the Denver FG miss, and our kickers are below the Mendoza line. Food for thought.... 8-4 vs. 6-6 is a big difference

Bass has a $7.5MM Cap hit in 2024. Looks like we're stuck with him, given all the other dead cap we will be eating [e.g. Miller, White, ?Elam?]

Playoff simulator says we have a 15% chance of getting the 7th wild card. If we win out [unlikely] we have a 98% of making the playoffs at 11-6 If we lose only to the Cowboys, and wind up 10-7, we only have a 65% chance. Any AFC loss would basically mean game over.

Bass not o-matic today

I think this nun was my third grade teacher

Hope the d is not demoralized by that.

They said it's his groin. Too bad.

Eagles have some serious beef in the trenches, didn't realize Malaita is listed at 365. That's a large human being.

Torrence and Joseph would be some serious beef in the trench.

You as well!
