Classic McDermott defensive TO to figure out the best way to give up a big play on the next play.

I wasn't entirely sure what, if anything, we would get out of Hollins this season. But man, the guy has made a few key plays for us. He isn't the most athletic guy as shown in a couple of the plays he hasn't made, but the dude plays hard and does a lot of the dirty work. The locker room loves him and he makes key plays every now and again whether it's blocking or catching. He's a guy I am more than happy to have as a 4th-6th WR on this team.

Wow....what a catch by Hollins. What a drive.....

Ugh.....not great there. Gotta be really careful here.

GROOT

For the love of God..... trust your CBs to contain a passing game in the snow and put 3 LBs on the field!

Going to keep asking until they do it..... 3 LBs please.....

BOOM

Ugh..... I never want to see that happen to anyone. Hopefully he is OK.....next week.

Not run blitzing or putting 3 LBs on the field is certainly a choice in this weather. They are playing an averaged armed QB with a banged up shoulder in a snow storm but are still scared about getting beat deep. Just don't get it.

Props to Bass there. None of these kicks are going to be easy tonight.

BOOM

Going to say it now.....unless it is 30 yards or less, I don't want to see Bass try to kick in these conditions.

Play action is very important all the time, but tonight specifically, I think could help us. We just refuse to use it as much as we should.

I know Taron Johnson is great and you never want to take him off the field, but tonight might be a game you need to. Going to have to get 3 LBs on the field to slow down the run.

Not the ideal start we were hoping for..... Gonna have to settle in.

Play hard. Play physical. Play fast. Play smart. Stay healthy. WIN! GO BILLS!!!!!

Looks like Solomon gets the hook for Milano......

Matt Barrows @mattbarrows Brock Purdy hasn't done any throwing yet alongside Josh Dobbs and Brandon Allen. He's doing an individual workout with a trainer. (Not a five-alarm fire but something to monitor).

The Bengals defense is one of the worst I have seen in a while. Probably a good thing because if they had even a top 20 defense, they would have been an extremely dangerous team. That said, maybe next year for them, but they may be going through some changes in the off season.

Yeah.....I don't think he's playing this week. No source, just a guess. If he got out of the red jersey yesterday, I would have thought different, but I think he's out at least one more week. But, hey, if he does play it can only help. He'll "slowly" make this offense a bit better and more consistent when he comes back. But yeah....just get these guys healthy before throwing them back in too quickly.

It got to the point last night that I almost accepted the fact that the Chiefs are going to win it again. Not only do they have the world's luckiest horseshoe crammed so far up their butts it's irretrievable, but as always, the refs just seem to come through for them at the biggest moments as well. And you know the league would love to have a team 3-Peat for the first time, especially one with the posterboy of the league and Taylor Swift's presence surrounding them. It is almost like the league is willing it into existence. So, I did the only possible thing I could think of to prevent it from happening. I went and immediately placed a bet on the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl at +550. Let's see the universe deals with this one....... The Chiefs' luck and all the forces surrounding them trying to carry them to another Championship VS my betting record and terrible beats that I have been dealing with all season!

Would I feel bad? Would I be mad because we didn't beat them at their best? Nah.....screw that. When's the last time we played them in the Playoffs at full health without key, important starters either out or playing severely injured? Last year alone, we literally had our best corner playing on 1 leg and our young, stud MLB that pretty much makes this defense go, out with an injury. That's not even to mention Benford, Davis, Rapp, Spector, and the other guys that were out and Von still a shadow of his former self. We literally dragged someone off the couch that was planning on going to Disney come in and try to cover one of the best TEs of all time. To this day, you will never convince me that we weren't the better team last season and, if we were completely healthy, that game never would have come down to a missed kick at the end. It's really hard to overcome that many injured missing starters and key contributors yet, quite honestly, we still should have won that game. So yeah.....screw that. When's the last time they actually had a serious injury in the Playoffs? If it happened to them, so be it. Every team it seems, except for them, has had to deal with losses at key positions. So, if for once they were to miss Mahomes, Kelce, Chris Jones, Punkchecko, etc., I couldn't care less. I am sure their fans weren't shedding a tear with Bernard and the other guys we had out last year.

I just can't with this team anymore. They have a lucky horseshoe crammed so far up their butts it must be irretrievable. Seriously....have they won a single game this season without something stupid happening to help them at some point? I can't think of one. Missed FGs against. blocked gimmie game winner, teams snapping the ball when nobody is ready, a couple last second FGs against terrible teams that should have beat them, etc..... the list just seems to go on. I've never seen such an average looking team get to 11-1 like they have. Look....are they good? Of courser they are. As long as they are Super Bowl champions, they are the team to beat, but this gifting from other teams screwing themselves over needs to stop.

We could win 5 Super Bowls in a row and I still wouldn't be as cocky or arrogant as most of that fan base. They have had a few years of success and all of a sudden they forgot about the 50 years prior when they were a joke and now believe they are owed the Super Bowl every year from now until the end of time. It's like they have lost all ability to be objective. I don't know. Maybe it's just the way I'm wired, but I just have never blindly followed teams I love. I am always looking for the strengths and weaknesses in my teams in order to find ways to be better. When we're good I'm still looking for ways to be even better. When we lose, or aren't playing our best, I don't just ignore it and pretend everything is just going to magically get better. I mean, I get it.....they've won a lot (for a variety of different reasons, but that's besides the point). But to think you are just invincible, especially after many of their biggest wins, were by razor sharp margins and in some cases getting gifted wins and getting extremely lucky and fortunate in the biggest moments. You don't have to look far to see it. Virtually every win they have had this season you can point to 1 thing that could have changed the outcome of those games starting all the way back on opening night with a toe against Baltimore to just today struggling with a 3 win Panthers team that took them to OT. If you are truly and objective fan, I don't see how you can look at how you have played this season and feel 100% confident in where they are at. Now, of course, they are a good team. They are absolutely a Super Bowl contender and can beat any team on any given day. They can definitely win the Super Bowl in the end. The difference is this season, you can say that about a few other teams as well. One of these years, and hopefully it will be this season, they are going to get humbled in the playoffs and hopefully it will give these intolerable fans a reality check that this league and this game owe you nothing. What happens that one time a coach doesn't blow a next to impossible lead with 13 seconds left? What happens when they don't get that phantom penalty call in a big moment that they always seem to get? What happens when they play a team that is their equal, or maybe even better than them, at full health instead of their opponent literally pulling guys off their couches to cover their best players just days before the game? Or, what happens when a team comes along and just punches them in the mouth early and never look back and just put the pedal on the floor against them for 60 minutes instead of playing scared against them? This team needs to be humbled. Their fan base needs to be humbled. And, hopefully, that lesson comes from our team this season. If not us, someone they play prior to meeting us in the Playoffs.
