for real, what do you do if you are the dolphins? They have hit their ceiling. Not sure how they can improve.

My Steelers fan buddy said that their ILBs are basically practice squad guys. He is worried about Allen basically stepping up and just taking off up the field.

that’s technically not true. Steelers only won the Super Bowl in 2005 and 2011 because some other team eliminated the patriots in the playoffs for them.

I agree with the sentiment, but I suspect they waited as long they could.

Weather is looking good now for the new game time. Looks pretty clear, wind speed is average. Gusts might be a little higher, but nothing to worry about. Bills may have dodged a bullet here, As they should be able to run their normal gameplan.

agreed. That’s what I am seeing. it will mean we should be able to throw relatively well. snow is a crapshoot, but probably 50/50 it misses the stadium.

I think the reports of wind are exaggerated based on the forecasts I am seeing.

good point. But there isn’t a guy on this team that I trust though. I can guarantee you some guy like Neal— who has no spatial awareness— will have a ball hit his leg or something while blocking.

I would have no punt returner even attempt to catch a kick in this game.

“Spoilers” in this movie?! Haha. (sorry, had to take another pot shot).

I have had some comically bad experiences— like going 10 mph on the highway.

Agreed. not worried about a return. I am worried about muffs and blocks. Basically how the Steelers beat us in the opener last year.

I think that’s why they win.

dodged a bullet. Coach meathead would have been great there.

My kids used to love Peppa back in the day. They will love this.

I used to live there. There is some gerrymandering that goes on with how they count their population. That said, even if you view Indy as much bigger, I do think the closed stadium in Buffalo could draw more events than a lot of folks think.

why can Indy get that stuff though? It’s not exactly a booming metropolis. They get all kind of crazy stuff, including the NCAA volleyball finals, etc.

I don’t want to derail this thread, but not putting a roof on the stadium is dumb. I looked at the costs. It will be a lot more— but how can they not get a much better rate of return with all the events they can hold in an enclosed stadium? Short-sighted. they could do a much more affordable design like Lucas Oil too, and it wouldn’t break the bank.

Forecast improving some re wind speed. Looking like 20 mph, and gusts of 44. That is down from 25/60. https://www.windy.com/42.752/-78.746?2024011418,42.551,-78.746,9

Agreed. the JT spot (I guess it’s the 4) is a real problem for us when JT isn’t scoring and Benny is ineffective. It would be great to play Maliq at the 4, but he is really doing wonders at the 5.

Great win against BC. Loved the unique early rotations, with Qadir and Brown in the starting lineup. Second half got a little ragged, but they gutted it out. if I had a complaint, it’s that Red needs a faster hook with Taylor. When he is just chucking them up and missing badly, he can’t go on and on shooting like that. if this team could make open outside shots with consistency, they could have really put BC away.

By the way, I recommend this website to any of the weather worriers like Myself. I have found the predictions on wind speed and wind gusts to be quite accurate. right now, they are calling for 25 MPH winds at 1 PM. Gusts of 50 MPH. The gusts are going to be the real variable. Without those, We should be able to have some windows to throw even if the wind is at 25. I have found that if the wind speed drops to like 20, it’s usually not a factor. So hoping we get a little Bit of a break since the rest of Sunday looks like the wind will be less than 20. https://www.windy.com/42.752/-78.746?2024011415,42.551,-78.746,9

great analysis; thanks.

we are really that bad against the run? I feel like we have been pretty good all year. The first few games we gave up a couple long ones, but seems we have settled down.

I just hated every single character. And the movie didn’t feel like it went anywhere. And then the ending—- umm? That came out of left field and felt pointless. I usually don’t feel that strongly about movies, but I really disliked that one.
