This. I have hated him in coverage. But I will say he’s had a good two weeks. I am not willing to go all in on him yet.

It is so so strange. I think it’s all because of one line “destiny is calling me”. But other than that it’s one of the weirdest song choices lyrically speaking.

God, I wish he’d sell the Sabres.

“Reggie White doesn’t get enough credit” - JJ Watt Maybe it’s my own echo chamber, but isn’t Reggie White almost universally considered on of (if not) the best pass rusher of all time? He’s mentioned in the same breath as LT and Bruce all the time.

The snap counts for KC are interesting. Hopkins played less than 50%? Worthy was basically benched after not getting in bounds on what was a bad throw. I do think KC played some things close to the vest.

Good for Cook. But man, Brandt is really just a one trick pony. It is like everytime he speaks he is doing another failed audition for the WWE.

It has nothing to do with the "Oh we can't catch up with the Chiefs". I just don't think it matters all that much if we do. What does matter more to me is being healthy in January and I would rather lose this game, keep everybody healthy, and keep playing our cards close to the vest. If we are missing all of our best pass catchers this game we will likely have to reveal every possible wrinkle in both our offensive and defensive playbooks. I would rather keep it simple, keep it healthy, and move on. I am certainly not advocating a loss, but I also am not sure I view this as a "win at all costs" kind of game either. That said, if we can beat them with our practice squad receivers that wouldn't be such a bad thing either...

There is part of me that thinks of Coleman, Kincaid, and Cooper can’t go, treat this like a pre a season game. Come out of it healthy and put nothing on tape.

Burrow looked wired AF pre snap. Jesus

For guys who are career backups, ending up in the wrong situation can tank your career. Being a "fine/meh" player who never dresses can tank your next contract. The Bills signed him because he played well when called upon. He would have a hard time getting a shot next year without getting any film this year.

He hasn’t just not played. He’s been a healthy scratch on a bunch of occasions. The only thing I can think is that McD has a ton of trust in Hamlin to call the defense from the secondary. So strange to not even give the guy snaps. Like at all. This is kind of like us signing/trading for receiving RB’s only to never throw them the ball. The org makes a lot of good decisions but I think this is a bad one.

But also definitely don't tip tendencies in the pregame pressers. It is an obvious one, but if it were my DC I would be rolling my eyes. Just STFU and do it.

Ya know, I was just saying last week while watching the 1pm NYJ vs NE game "Ya know what this Jets team is missing, cayenne pepper!" Everybody at our party laughed at me. But they don't know ball. Who is laughing now Steve! WHO IS LAUGHING NOW!!!! It occured to me that this could be one of those pre-emptive cover up situations where Rodgers may test positive for something and he gaslights people by saying "It is just medicine, totally not steroids, extremely high levels of cayenne pepper and other natural medicines can trigger a positive test for xxx". Rodgers kind of reminds me of one of those preachers who screams about gay people burning in hell, only to find out he spends every Saturday covered in glitter at the Cathode Ray. He is that, but it's whale sperm/HGH.

Why stop there? Is Zach Ertz available?

This is the second game I have caught with Brady. He is getting a lot better at the play by play stuff. He is still super awkward doing the sideline stuff. I said it in another thread, he would likely be at his best doing a simulcast or podcast on the nuts and bolts of each play for both teams. Honestly Fox, ESPN, or Paramount should be doing this as part of their paid for streaming package. They all have former QB's as part of their crews. Getting two hours of film review from Romo, Manning(s), and/or Brady is definitely something I would be willing to pay for.
