Players need to be protected from themselves. This is on the NFL and the Bengals' medical staff, because it was obvious Higgins smacked his head hard on the turf at least twice, and the fact he was "evaluated" and allowed to return is a complete joke.

Ok, appreciate the breakdown. I got my info from an ESPN article by Graziano this morning, so he has it wrong as well.

I think this is wrong. If the Pats*** beat Baltimore they would still own the tiebreaker over the Bills even if they lose to the Jets or Fish. Edit: here are the tiebreakers, with my comments should the Pats*** and Bills both finish 13-4 and the Pats*** lose to either NYJ or MIA: To Break A Tie Within A Division If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined. Two Clubs Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs) -- this would be even Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. -- this would be even Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. -- Pats*** win this tiebreaker, 10-2 vs. 11-3 Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. Strength of victory in all games. Strength of schedule in all games Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best net points in common games. Best net points in all games. Best net touchdowns in all games. Coin toss

For the Bills to win the East they must win out and the Pats*** must lose two of their other three games. The tiebreakers are not in our favor so we need a better record straight up. It’s doable though…after us they face a desperate Ravens team, followed by Jets and Miami (who might still be in the hunt for a WC). NE has faced essentially no adversity this season, but the pressure level is about to ratchet up to 11 real quick.

They won't win.

Has to move to 4:00 window or prime time…

Cleveland screwed me. Should’ve taken Miami. Was totally right not taking Bucs.

Defend our ground up rubber pellets!

With Hendrickson still out, there’s no excuse for the Bills not putting up 30+ in this one. The game result all depends on which Buffalo defense shows up and the offense not turning it over.

Doubt it will be an issue since the international sites want these games...

Tough break for the Lions…Branch tore his Achilles.

Good god, what a whiny thread. Please get us to Sunday quickly.

He's an egomaniac who chases the greener grass. He's not about developing kids or building a legacy at a program (which he could have done at Ole Miss). He sees bright, shiny LSU with their recruiting prowess, no in-state conference rival, and rabid fan base. It's obviously not about the money because Ole Miss was going to pay whatever LSU offered. I've heard some SEC apologists say it's more than his own income, it's the income for his coaches, but I've not seen that verified anywhere and again, Ole Miss was willing to do whatever it took. I get it when a coach at a lesser program dreams of making it into the big time, but Kiffin has lived in the big time. He's another Brian Kelly; a sanctimonious ***** who only cares about himself. Players on Ole Miss' leadership council have already come out and said Kiffin's statement he released is "not what happened" -- i.e., the players weren't crestfallen that he couldn't continue coaching.

Not really, to anyone who saw how freaking hard he was working in camp. He’s a true pro and I’m happy he has gotten back to being a meaningful contributor to this defense.

No, ideally we win out and the Pats*** lose to Baltimore and either the Jets or Fish. This is not as far fetched as it might first appear. If Miami continues to play well they could be in the hunt going into that final game vs. NE.
