90% of exciting punt returns are negated

Ok, they said it so fast and my cat is sleeping on top of the remote, so no rewind possible!

Did they just saw Gruden was fired?

There is some good news... If you subscribe to cable you'll now have to subscribe to each channels individual streaming service to see your favorite shows...

Nice pictures of the city and local points of interest!

They don't seem to be pumping in crowd noise on the broadcast

Now it is!

Kickers are erratic lately, but it's good!

Game is far, far from over

Dolphins and Browns are my 2 most hated teams easily. Definitely 2020! Titans close 3rd.

I'm getting my hate for the Dolphins back that's for sure

I was surprised to see that the Bills have the 2nd most expensive roster in the league, behind the Colts, who are #1. I think some moves will be made in a few areas. The Bills have, relative to the entire NFL (this is according to Spotrac): the most expensive DL group the 3rd most expensive DB group the 4th most expensive WR corps the 6th most expensive OL 12th most expensive TE group Now, you might look at that and think Brown could be in trouble. However, this offense uses the WR a ton, and has gotten value and production for that investment, so I think they stick with them all. The Bills could allow the following contracts to expire, saving around 31.1 million: Trent Murphy (saves $9 million) Tyler Kroft (saves 6.5 million) Ty Nseke (saves $5 million) Josh Norman (saves $6 million) TJ Yeldon (saves 1.6 million) Brian Winters (saves 3 million) There will be money and cap space to work with, either way. When your team gets good, you've got to make tougher choices.

The pieces are in place to be competitive for a decade, maybe more, depending on Allen's career longevity. If he's anything like Big Ben the Bills could be somewhere between good and great (depending on the unique circumstances of each season) for 15 more years. That's an amazing job, and it's not as easy as just getting the QB. Yes, that's huge, but look at the Lions. Very talented QB whose career has been wasted by bad coaching and poor rosters. A nice way to celebrate this would be to lock up Feliciano for a few more years!

Steelers aren't bad, but they don't strike me as a real contender, regardless of their record. Every time I see them play they seem flat/unimpressive.

Maybe he's right, but I just question these types of stories. Time will tell, either way.

Good point! 🥑

A lot of times everyone knows what the other team is going to do, especially this late in the season. If you play the Titans, their offense is pretty much handing the ball off 167 times to Henry and making a throw here and there. If you played the Brady NE teams, it was a bunch of dink and dunk 3 yard passes to a wide open Welker or Edelman, with an occasional seam route to Gronk once you really tried to lock the short stuff up. If all else failed, and you shut that all down, Brady would toss a screen or short pass into the flat to some RB nobody ever heard off, who would catch 13 passes for 174 yards or something stupid. This is why Peyton didn't win more rings, IMO. His offense was downfield passing. He liked chunks. That's easier to take away, and bad weather helps as well. Knowing is one thing. Stopping it is another!

In the AFC, the teams that would make me nervous in the playoffs are the Chiefs and Browns. Chiefs for obvious reasons. Browns you just never know who is going to show up. that defense and running game are for real, and those elements tend to remain consistent. Titans are like the Browns, but minus a stifling defense. If you can stop their running game they're just another team. No pass rush, nothing scary in the passing game.

It's worth remembering that sometimes young star players have literally never experienced much losing, especially if they came from big college programs.

It seems like half the Eagles team is always hurt for whatever reason. Really, he had one great chunk of 1 year before he got hurt, and has really never been able to get back to that level since. As far as Foles goes, it's odd that he can apparently only play on the Eagles or vs Tom Brady!

I've always wondered if there were successful coordinators who just didn't want to be a head coach. If you love calling plays and focusing on the offense, and you are good at it, you're almost never under the gun, and everyone loves you around the league. You don't have to do all the things a head coach needs to do. It's probably not many, because people want to advance their careers, but I'm sure there are examples.

I would be skeptical of reading a guy's facial expressions and body language. Yes, sometimes it can tell a story but other time guys are just different. I mean, Lamar Jackson smacks himself in the helmet and yells at himself out loud when something goes wrong! LOL It's ok for players to have different personalities. We just saw our OL rock our WR to sleep as a TD celebration!

Pegula wants an open air stadium. He's said it a few times. I think Pittsburgh is the model. Unless it's an actual blizzard, these guys can throw and catch in the weather. Wind is a bigger problem than snow.

Depending on how things go, the Lions and Falcons could be very attractive landing spots. Ryan and Stafford are both very good, IMO. Either could really flourish with a change of scenery. Put Matt Ryan with Shanahan in SF and it would be fun to watch.

Let them hate... it's more fun that way! You KNOW teams and players love it!
