Doc Brown

Would you rather watch Chargers/Broncos tonight or Browns/Bengals? It may be insulting/inconvenient for Broncos and Bengals fans but it's better TV for the 15 million people who will watch the game. The NFL's aggressiveness in many different areas in the last 20 or so years is why the sport is a ratings goldmine.

For me it's Chiefs, Bengals, and Jets in that order. The Jets just because I despise Rodgers.

Lions play so much man coverage and were so depleted at LB that it made sense to throw to our RB's and TE's. It's why he saw zero targets this week but 14 against the Rams. Against a decent defense a weapon like Cooper is absolutely essential. If you want to double or bracket him fine. We'll throw to somebody else where we have an advantageous matchup. If you don't then we'll just feed the ball to Cooper.

I noticed game threads after a win are much more pleasant for some reason.

Bills - 3 Pats - 0

Rams should put a claim in for him. Would he say no to playing in LA?

Nah. You sign a bridge QB for cheap if you're going to spend a 1st round pick on a rookie QB. Like the Vikings did with Darnold for one year for $8.75m. My guess is Atlanta fell in love with Penix after signing Cousins.

It was lost when Allen didn't check it down to Diggs and I'll die on that hill. LOL.

I don't really trust any kicker but I don't think he's missed a game winning kick. I could be wrong though. I remember him making it @Baltimore and home twice against the Fish. The last from 62 yards. That KC game in the playoffs where we had a chance to tie was obviously the biggest miss of his career.

We know.

So, with Kirk they're 7-7 with a cupcake schedule, pry won't make the playoffs, and will likely have a $65m dead cap hit next year if they can't trade Cousins. Last year they were 6-8 at this time so it cost them $90m for one more win. If Penix doesn't work out this will be an all time gaffe of a contract.

You guys got me there. Bass is now a career 38-39 from FG's between 20 and 30 yards. Cut him now.

The red helmet thing is just nostalgia imo. White helmets are way better.

Christian Benford has been elite.

It's amazing how a uniform combo can go from abhorrent to good just by changing the pants from red to white.

This is mostly right. I believe they need either the Broncos or Chargers to lose out though. I'd be rooting for the Chargers this week if I was a Bengals fan given the Chargers have an easy final two games (@Patriots, @Raiders).

I hope the Bills have their priorities straight in this one. All passes on offense to help Josh make his MVP case.

Exactly which is why I'm not going to automatically make him a villain in the messy breakup.

I can see you're undecided. LOL. We do our best to read the tea leaves but only those in the building know what exactly took place.

Is it possible that there was blame to go around with Diggs, Josh, McDermott, and Brady? I think it's easier just to shift all the blame to the guy who isn't here anymore.

The guy who had to doink it in on a chip shot fg to win the game?

Fantastic. My eyes won't have to bleed with the terrible all reds anymore.

That would pry be my game plan playing the Bills too.

I'd take Gabe as a WR4 over Mack but only in that role. Gabe was just as beloved in Buffalo until they increased his usage.

I'm always uneasy with him when he kicks it from the right hash mark. I'm not sure what his numbers are now but here it is coming into the year since 2021. Yeah. It's definitely something this franchise hasn't ever experienced before.
