Baker is just a guy who hands off and makes a few throws here and there. Nothing special or dynamic. Burrow is already better, IMO. Lamar is much more dynamic. Browns have the 3rd best QB in that division, now that Big Ben looks like his arm retired.

Yup. He wants to collect some hardware, so he's got some championship rings to display in his trophy room. Plus I'll bet it's a lot of fun being a winning college coach.

Are they waiting to announce a new stadium along with the naming deal? A couple years ago, based on an insider tip from a guy named Dunkirk Don I bought a huge field in Newstead by the thruway, thinking the Pegulas would be dialing me up looking to build the stadium there. Now I'm stuck with an overgrown grassy field next to the expressway. At least I can sit in a plastic Adirondack chair and watch the cars go by...

I have no idea. I thought it was his neck being twisted cutting off blood flow. If the Browns player HAD been trying to rip his head off I have no idea what he would have done differently.

is there a gigantic, 360+ pound DT who can bench press a car in the draft? That would be my pick, but then again, I was a huge fan of the Ted Washington/Sam Adams duo of Bills DT's!

Reading the chiefs board at lunch today it sounds more and more like the neck/nerve issue could be what happened. He also jogged down a set of stairs and into the locker room without assistance right after, which made me think about the following response on that board: "Interestingly had Mahomes just laid on the ground for a few minutes and caught his breath and balance he likely would have been able to go back in the game." If you're seen wobbling like that you're done, no matter what. Optics are too bad if you come back, because nobody will believe you didn't have a concussion. The wobble puts you in the protocol. Terrible PR for the league and a risk, too, in terms of the neck, without further tests to be sure nothing was damaged. I would not be surprised at all if what was suggested above has happened before, especially in a playoff game: a player staying down for a minute to collect himself in an effort to stay clear of concussion protocol. That hit didn't look like a concussion inducing hit, so if he was down for a minute then was able to get up there probably wouldn't have been any suspicion. I think some former Cowboys talked about it on the 4 Falls of Buffalo show... Basically Aikman couldn't even remember the plays and they figured the Bills were going to beat them and finally get the SB win, but the Bills seemed tight and timid, when they were kicking their butts (not on the scoreboard, though).

I didn't realize Manning had suffered that type of neck injury. I always thought it was a degenerative condition. That sucks, because I bet he would either still be playing or would have just retired had that not happened.

I'm fine with it, because it's something unique and has a funny backstory. I'm not in love with the tables thing being such a big part of our newfound publicity, though.

What about the Rams? Donald and a first, with another lower pick added in.

Athletics can bring out the best in people, and here is more evidence of it.

This is awesome! I can see a friendly rivalry developing between the Bills and Ravens in the years to come.

McDaniels going to Philly tells me Belichick isn't retiring any time soon. Which is good, so McDermott and other young coaches/QBs can bank some wins against him!

I think Andy Reid was shaken because he knows how bad that almost was. Memo to OCs around the league: don't run your star QB into a pile of defenders to gain a yard. Risk/reward is not worth it. Guys are going to hit extra hard in the playoffs, and if your QB appears dazed at all he's done for the game. That's added incentive. If they ran the RB up the middle on that and end up punting they still have several drives with Mahomes later on and ice the game later. "Take what the defense gives you" isn't always exciting, but it works most of the time. If it's 4th quarter of the Super Bowl, then OK. 3rd quarter of a divisional game that you're going to win anyway is dumb play calling.

Yup. He's lucky not to have a broken neck the way the Browns defender grabbed his helmet with both hands and wrenched his head. Totally filthy play.

It makes sense that he would go through the protocols to make sure he is ok. He's already had some pretty significant injuries in his young career. I hope Daboll is paying attention. Protect the franchise! Better to punt on that play and have your QB for the rest of the game. IMO Mahomes came very close to a broken neck on that play. Watch the replay. It's scary the way the Browns player is twisting his neck with two hands on his helmet. We almost had something very, very bad happen to the NFL's biggest young star.

I thought it was a neck injury when I saw it. The Browns player almost tore his head off. With that twist of the neck and all the weight falling down it very well could have cut the blood off to his brain, almost like a choke or strike to the neck.

Per NFL Network

What sucks is that we've been denied seeing Brady look like this

Brees would need 15 minutes and 35 plays to lead a TD drive

Brees is so old and sad

Good play but doesn't look good... He pointed to his knee and told his teammate not to pick him up

What a catch!

Not even close to in bounds

Wow!

Everything looks so hard for Brees
