Okay, Allen. Please let’s not miss WIDE OPEN WRs.

Rudolph has no prayer today. The sooner a change is made at QB for Pitt.. it’s their only shot today.

Yokayy. The defense will adjust. Probably with more pressure and press. Let’s make them pay, JoeB!

Love it - no easy completions

You don’t?

Bills 28 - 13 Steelers

I think a Isabella is embarrassingly bad. Hope he proves me wrong today.

Darn. Douglas and Dodson

We evaluate teams based on what they’ve done the last month, basically. Agreed? The Bills are awful at screens.

The Rams kill with the WR screen. Used to be Cooper Kupp, now it’s Nuka. They catch it, see a hole, and sprint. It’s smart, the defense is either standing still, running towards you, or getting blocked immediately. Here’s the Bills problem: they can’t even catch these passes. We have no idea if they work yet. However, they also don’t set up WR and RB screens very well at all. I mean how predictable it it when we see Diggs or Harty immediately looking for the ball. Everyone watching sees the simpleton play before it even happens.

Eggsactly. Jets, Dolphins could and should be buyers with him.

Johnston was, especially with injuries to Williams and Allen. But that was the knock in the draft - not ready yet. Watson needs to improve on being an all around receiver, like winning jump balls. But man does he flash. The Packers are LOADED at receiver HAHA cracks me up because when Rodgers was there the receiver room was always a question mark. AJ and DK do it with less than great passer talent. Imagine them with guys like Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Stroud. Is that what Elam is supposed to be? 🤭

So the Chargers can’t let him out of the building, correct?? Have they already met the Rooney Rule requirements? Their entire franchise’s future is in the building today and the only way the Chargers should allow out of LA is with a contract.

They separate when the ball is near with their catch radius. Christian Watson is big and fast. Quinton Johnson will be this way. AJ Brown, Metcalf.

While I totally agree about their fear of the weather, right now they won’t get over a hump because they can’t beat good teams. The Cowboys signed sealed and delivered their only win verses a good team. The Jets and Patriots getting better doesn’t really hurt the Bills yet.. we split with them this season.. it’s the Dolphins that will be hurt by a more competitive division. It’s a very strange thing. West coast and southern teams just look so out of place in the Northeast playoff games. Last year, the 49ers crumbled in Philly. Some teams usually look awful in cold games, like the Saints in their road games in the Brees era. In the 1980s, I think San Francisco won a road playoff game in Chicago, I think in 1988(?), but in their Washington, Giants games they looked so out of place. Montana was a PA, South Bend guy who played freezing ass home games at Candlestick, but when it’s 0, he looked like an old man in a cabin. I would never ever ever expect Miami to be able to handle the elements. There’s just too just fun stuff for this guys to get into in Miami South Beach. They’ll always expect champagne service.

Fine. Somebody dial JA17. He’ll get it done.

The first of four straight wins. The team will come out with the mentality that they own the NFL! As they should.

NBC presenting this as a Must-See, First time streaming NFL Playoff Game!!, Don’t miss out on all the history being made! pisses me off to no end.

They should definitely do tickets or some sort of cool team/stadium experience. I have confidence that the Bills will hookup the shovelers. $20 an hour seems like an insult.

Fine for this game. But if you haven’t heard, we already beat the Steelers and it’s on to KC. In THAT game, Espenesa and Rousseau need to tackle Mahomes and push him into Oliver/Jones/Joseph in the middle. Can’t be letting Pat run around those edges.

Yes, no Watt does calm me down. Last year, he didn’t play and we saw that result.

What are everyone’s thoughts on the DLine that are active today? I think we can’t get enough big run stoppers out on that field. Why are the Steelers weapons worrying me all the sudden?! Pickens, Warren, Harris, Johnson, that TE, AB… Tell me they stink.. I’m in a spirallllllll

Anyway the snow shovelers can score tix for their efforts? Maybe for next week then?

Just dawned on me. Stroud’s performance was better than Jordan Love’s against the Cowgirls. The only thing Stroud had going for him was home field. Yet here on GMF you’d think Love is the only quarterback who played this weekend. Love was great, but Stroud just became the youngest QB playoff winner,, against the NFL’s so called best defense,, with a rookie head coach, losing his best WR, having nowhere near an Aaron Jones, and leading a franchise coming off an all timer type bad season. Love is already like 38 years old, so I’d take Stroud in a heartbeat.

Penalty for throwing the snowball throwers onto the field?
