I don't agree. It was a punk question by the reporter, and it was the reporter who brought up Rodgers' four MVP seasons. Rodgers' response: "... he's having a great season, so pick one of those four," is a deeper response than that question really deserves, and shows respect to Allen. I believe Rodgers considers Allen to be a friend of his-- he has stated as much in the past.

They had their bus idling outside the stadium-- didn't want to burn too much diesel.

Samuel's questionable. But Shavers' value was supposed to be his special teams ability, when he was originally picked up as a UDFA.

Lewis Cine! I've been waiting for him to make an appearance. Let's hope he makes the most of an opportunity!

I'm almost hoping that vs. the Jets, the Bills rest a bunch of players, lose a close game, and come out completely healthy. Then they go to Foxboro, and beat the Pats*. If they beat the Jets, the Ravens have nothing to play for week 18, and I think they're the toughest matchup for the Bills in the playoffs. If the Bills beat the Jets, week 18 is meaningless for the Bills, and Ravens. Practically a bye. If the games are meaningful, the Bills are going to have a much easier time vs the Patriots* than the Ravens would vs. the Browns. The Browns D plays mean. Almost, but not quite. Beat the Jets. GO BILLS!

Has this been a problem since TC, though?

That was the biggest knock on him last season, and in TC. He's a fierce tackler, to be sure. But, it's a lot better to have a player that you have to coach down, rather than coach up.

I said during the offseason that Rapp was one of the most underrated players on the team, and I think he still is. Getting a healthy Rapp back on the field, along with a healthy Douglas, is critical for the playoffs, IMO.

Joking aside, it's an educational methodology acronym that stands for: Explain, Demonstrate, Guide, Enable. Probably why Hyde is back on the team...

I was just about to write the exact same thing.

Get Lil Dirty to cater it, and he'd probably show. EDIT: Nevermind, read that his restaurant closed...🙁

1-0, Bills

I misspoke. I meant to say if they lose, and the Bills are still playing for the #1.

Who wants to bet that if the Chiefs lose on Wednesday, that Rodgers knee starts throbbing, and he spends Sunday on the sideline with a baseball cap on?

A lot hinges on the Chiefs game tomorrow, IMO-- both for the Jets, as well as us. If the Chiefs win, and secure the #1 seed, we're going to be focused on keeping guys healthy. I also think that if the Chiefs lose, and Rodgers sees that we're still fighting for the #1 seed, that knee injury of his is going to start throbbing, and he'll be on the sideline in a baseball cap.

No doubt-- they're 4-11 for a reason. But, so do the Pats*. As a divisional opponent, they're a tougher matchup for us than they were for the Rams. And with the #1 seed still in play, it's maybe equally important that we a)win, and b) finish the game healthy. Game-planning the m-fers is paramount.

Not for us. #1 seed is still in play.

I think we're actually pretty lucky the Jets have been playing pretty decent football in the last few weeks-- better than they played earlier in the season, anyway. The Rodgers-->Adams connection is pretty strong right now, their O-line has been gelling. Their D has probably underperformed to what was predicted, but the last few weeks provides quite a bit of tape on how McD and co. might game-plan. That's going to be important for what should be a tough division game, and keeping the roster healthy.

Yeah, like they were looking ahead to the... (checks notes)... Jets...

https://www.nfl.com/news/jerod-mayo-expected-to-return-as-patriots-head-coach-in-2025-barring-collapse The headline: "Jarod Mayo Expected to Return as Patriots* Head Coach in 2025, Barring Collapse over Final Weeks of '24" I'm trying to imagine what would constitute a "collapse" for the 3-11 Patriots*?

He means beef on wic-- the welfare program.

I'm happy the Jets are playing well, and giving the Rams a hard time on O, and D. This is the kind of tape our coaching staff needs for next week to avoid a trap game.

The dueling stats arguments surrounding Cooper seem pretty pointless. Obviously, Cooper makes the WR better-- I don't think anyone is arguing that. IMO, his biggest impact is that he expands the field a little bit, and makes the field of play a little larger to defend. What I find interesting is that Cooper, his lack of targets notwithstanding, has made the "everyone eats" scheme, where numerous receivers can be targeted on any play more effective. There were posters who felt that idea was a pipe dream, and that the addition of Cooper proved that. But I think it's been quite the opposite, and the fact that the leading receiver in the Lions game was the backup RB illustrates that. It's very hard for DCs to predict where the ball is going on any play. Brady has occasionally used the jumbo package on passing plays. Cooper will get more targets when the opposing defense makes it efficient.

I would love to see that.
