Flip Johnson

This has the potential to massively change the way the game is managed by the Chiefs. Butker is an automatic 3pts if you get to the 40. Now they will be going for 4th down on anything but chip shots.

If Bishop was demonstrating in practice that he was processing quickly enough and the he was the better player then he'd be on the field. Hamlin is an intelligent player who understands where he is supposed to be and has a nose for the football. He is probably the slowest safety in the NFL but at least you know that. Bishop played one game and gave up a free access touchdown. It's hard to predict how he might hurt you.

It's not about the run defense. If he was healthy for even a few games and could give 10-15 interior pass rushes a game it would make a difference. Are we excited about Austin Johnson and Eli Ankou on 3rd and 8? JP can crash the pocket when he is motivated and healthy.

Get well Stef. Whatever else you want to say about him, the best four year stretch of any Bills WR ever - and it's not close. He was declining, he needed to go, he should have caught the ball against KC ... yes. 445 catches 5,372 yards 37 TDs

They could sign a kicker to the PS and let that guy start competing with TBass in practice. If nothing gets better then they could carry two kickers and start making TBass inactive on game day.

Norwood: it was always unlikely that he was going to make that kick on grass. The game was lost a hundred times before that kick. Music City: Squib kick was fine, it was a special teams/officiating debacle. 13 Seconds: Coaching Bass: needs to make that kick, but the blown opportunities beforehand are what matter more.

It's not about his brain. Marv used to talk about 'balance' as one of the most important and underrated attributes for a RB. Thurman and Shady did not have amazing straight line speed but they had balance. This will be a good test for Cook

It's impressive to see Poyer still contribute even after the injuries and without the foot speed he's had in the past. He's using his brain, his intensity, his physicality, and his leadership, and it's a privilege to see.

This is a critical point. They hate the Steelers and are not going to give them a free pass into the playoffs. This the same team that has won like 20 straight games in the preseason. I would expect Lamar to play a portion of this game and Harbaugh will go after the win.

One down, five to go

The Bills are not lacking the playmakers to win the Super Bowl. The weapons could and probably should get better in 2024, but the team has a top 3 QB and a blue chip WR and RB.

Dallas is 3-3 on the road.

Von had a little bit of juice today, the first time all season.

If you ever read Collision Low Crossers by Nicholas Dawidoff (Rex Ryan era Jets, 2011 season), you will get a great sense of Leonhard's knowledge as a player. It is obvious in that book that he would be a great coach. Leonhard had season-ending injuries in 2010 and 2011 and in both years that team fell apart without him. He was the most essential player for understanding and implementing Rex & Pettine's defense - during the time it was actually effective.

If this was the 1990s and Klein could play in a 4-3 he might be a borderline Pro Bowler. In 2021 he is problematic out in space. But he is smart and attacks downhill and brings great physicality. Great veteran depth, but the idea that he makes Edmunds expendable is ridiculous.
