I think the at the end of the season, The Pats* are going to sign Ryan Fitzpatrick as their backup.

Such a Billsy thread... Some day-- maybe next season?-- threads like this just won't happen.

Interesting point...

So, who's favored next week in Chiefs @ Pats*?

Wow. If we had played NE* week one, they would have blown us out. As it was, week four, we held our own, but lost. Now, I feel like we're genuinely the better team. As long as McD doesn't speak too loudly during halftime, and communicates the halftime adjustments in hushed tones in the locker room, we're going to beat them in Foxboro in a few weeks. Does anyone else suddenly feel like we might even take the division?

Refs doing their jobs, I see...

I will admit that this was the first game for either of these teams that I have watched this season. My immediate takeaways are that the 49ers did not look that spectacular, and Jimmy G looked average. Their D did a pretty good job of stopping the run, with the one obvious exception of not being able to stop Jackson. Man, he fooled them time, and time again with play fakes! I lost count of how many tackles their running backs received while not having the ball! That is something we are going to have to address. If we don't fall into that trap, and we stop the run, I think we have a decent chance to hold the Ravens to the number of points they had today. I think our D backfield can handle their receivers. I know it was raining, but I was surprised that Jackson didn't look more accurate. I'm sure we're going to be 8 point dogs to these guys-- or thereabout. But, I think we have a good shot at them. Singletary should do well against them, and so should Allen.

Any given Sunday.

Because it's such a craptastic game, I doubted more than half the Cincy, or Jets fans would even be watching. I suppose some of the Cincy fans have switched over by now, though. Good call on Cincy, though.

What a weird Sunday. I want the Dolphins to beat the Eagles. I want 49ers to beat the Ravens, and I actually care about the Steelers/Browns game.

I really, really want the Steelers to win. I almost feel like a Steelers fan.

Heckuva play by #10.

Well done, picking that flag up.

I was tempted to watch the Browns/Steelers for the intensity but, I think I'll go with the 49ers/Ravens.

Nah, people would be making elf jokes...

Hey, who's watching the Jets/Bengals tomorrow? ?

Christian Wade?

honestly, I'd be surprised if he came back next season. I think he's accomplished what he set out to do.

For Foster to really play to his potential, and be anything like the threat he was in '18, Allen will have to get his long ball back.

Matt Milano is doomed!

I was listening to Vince Ferragamo interviewed on the radio this morning (I live in Los Angeles, and he gets interviewed frequently). When they asked him about yesterday's games, he talked about the Bears, and Lions, then about the Saints, and Falcons, and then about the Cowboys. He literally did not even mention the Bills, by name, or a single Bills player, AT ALL. I was swearing at the radio, but at the same time, I just gotta laugh.

What's up with their safety, Woods, btw? I wonder if there was some bad blood there, as he ripped Cole's helmet off his head after he was down. Pretty awful move.

The Cowboys hardly ever had Beasley run a route further than five yards from the line of scrimmage. And, he always had other egos in the WR corp that had to be assuaged. His talents were greatly underutilized in Dallas. I was skeptical myself when he arrived here that he would be anything other than a gadget player for our offense. But, this guy is talented. Everything he said about the Cowboys, and the way he was (under)used in their offense looks like it was true. So glad he wears a Bills uniform now.

The formula for the quarterback rating is: (a+b+c+d)/0.6, whereas: a = (completions/attempts - 0.3)/0.2 b = (yards/attempts - 3)/4 c = (touchdowns/attempt)/0.05 d = {0.095 - (interceptions/attempt)}/0.04 And, as complicated as that formula is, there's a lot missing from it.
