Hence my earlier “Slim Shady” post…

Here’s a hint: think about the different ways you can read “in cider.” You’re welcome.

It’s a combination…the Vikings’ OL was their weak spot. Darnold had to get the ball out quickly and he just refused to do so.

Will the real Sam Darnold please stand up…please stand up…please stand up. 😂

Just a dumb thread…sorry Irv. Surtain is an All-Pro and the Denver defense is very good. Guess what? Josh Allen is the best player on the planet and the Bills have a prolific offense that makes good defenses look mediocre. No need to pile on.

Ugh. Thanks for reminding me.

Oh well…hope whoever they put back there is ready to go.

Ok, I was waaaaay off on thinking PIT could pull off the upset and that Baltimore would be tight. My bad. Look out for Green Bay today, though.

Brain and heart transplants are, however…

The greatest players in the world have always looked for extra motivation…Michael Jordan thrived on it. It matters.

Total conflict of interest. The announcers meet with teams during the week and are given confidential insights. I actually liked listening to him but it’s over.

Lamar needs to get to a Super Bowl to validate his MVPs and career. The Ravens played like crap in last year's AFCCG. And now in order to move forward they face a team that has eaten Lamar's lunch for the better part of his time there. I absolutely agree that the Steelers look like trash but Tomlin will have them ready.

Well, sure…when you’re the home team the pressure is on, but I’m not worried at all about the Bills’ focus.

This is starting to look like a uniform thread.

The teams I think could actually spring a true “upset” this weekend are the Packers and Steelers. LA over the Vikings would not really be an upset as the Rams have played very well down the stretch. Same with Chargers over Texans. Bucs/Commandos is a toss-up, and the Bills should take care of business without too much difficulty. The Ravens (and Lamar) have so much pressure on them this weekend, and the Packers are simply a lot better than I believe most people realize.

I didn’t hear that sort of detail…just going by his post-practice comments. I’d guess it’s more like 60-40; they’ll see if he suffers any setbacks and whether it is tight on Sunday morning.

Sounds like Codrington is trending towards playing this weekend. Practiced ST (but not defense) on Thursday.

Best wishes to any of you and your friends/family who are being impacted by this. Just awful.

I'll never say never, but if the Bills play the way they have played over the past 12 weeks and nothing crazy (injuries) happens, I don't see how this game is in dispute in the 4th quarter.

I listened to that clip and I just think Dan is trying to make himself sound more credible because he has been so over-the-top about the Bills and Allen this season. I agree with you that the “take away 1/2 of the field” notion doesn’t make sense to me against the Bills. I think Allen is going to work the middle of the field with his RBs and TEs (and Shakir) and give Denver all sorts of trouble. And while everyone is praising Denver’s defense they have done it against some of the worst opposition around, while coming up short against winning football teams. They are a team headed in the right direction but they have not yet “arrived” in my opinion.

I’m not belittling the guy, just pointing out that he’s a company shill. Everybody has to make a living and he gets to hang out with an NFL team. There are worse gigs.

They've got zero rizz, that's for sure...

Kirwan and Miller give waaaaaay too much leeway to callers, also -- let them go on and on. They forget it's a show people are actually listening to. Whenever they take calls I turn it back to music.

Right, I forgot about the Sirius NFL channel. I give that a little bit of a listen. I agree, Gannon is pretty good and I like listening to Kirwan, but I can't stand that mushmouth partner of his, Jim Miller. Just awful. Talk about a guy who should never be allowed to speak in public.
