Blank Stare

Ike Boetger siting!

Let’s gooooo!!!!

Bummer that we aren’t fully loaded (or close to it) going against the plague team, but it’s still Ryan Tannehill. Guy always struggled against the Bills when he was with the Dolphins. Let’s hope that continues.

So is Simmons up? Or is he technically not an inactive because he’s unavailable on the Covid list?

Is Justin Herbert really that good? Serious question.

Back on top in MVP race.

Yep. All the execs over thought that one. Must’ve thought he was too good to be true.

Might want to cover DK

Russ about to improve his MVP standing.

Lamarcus Joyner for the Raiders is injured every 5 plays.

Who covers Travis Kelce for us with Milano out? Such a huge loss without him up.

I think you know that source. 😂

Exactly. This. Let the Titans figure it out. Screw trying to keep accommodating them.

Yep, that’s right. In my opinion, I think the yo-yo, uncertain nature of all this weighs on the players more than you think. Everything about this to this point, has been more normal for the Chiefs than the Bills. BAU. How many times do we hear coaches and players are creatures of habit? From a rest standpoint, this would seem to benefit the Bills. I don’t argue that, but I do wonder what sort of mental impacts this has had.

Right, but that would’ve been a “normal week”. Just like the Chiefs. Chiefs play today and move on to Bills. Bills still don’t know if they are playing the Titans or not. And probably won’t right up to Tuesday. Unless the NFL ends this charade.

I’m not so sure. I think it’s more normal for the Chiefs to this point. They’ve planned for and are playing their game now just like they always would’ve. Bills still don’t know whether they are playing THIS week. And even if they keep it on schedule, it could still be cancelled with more positive tests at any point over the next few days.

Do we really want this? What sort of prep do you think the Bills have done for the Chiefs at this point? No doubt, some. But this Titans fiasco has likely been a giant distraction.

If I’m a Bills player, I’m considering sitting out this game if they go forward. Wouldn’t want to be anywhere near Titans or their facility. To Cody Ford’s point, I’d rather be healthy than rich. NFL is being really short sighted by trying to jam this game in. Play the long game here.

And the Bills continue being punished for this by being strung along, while the team that willfully broke the rules hasn’t been punished. But I guess I should 🤫 in case Kevin Byard reads this and decides to toss another log on his motivation fire.

Wish they’d just make a call on this game already.

Coaches, players, family, peers, media, and (some) fans care. Why wouldn’t you want to be recognized as being the best (or one of the best) at your position? Of course super bowl is the goal and the only thing that truly matters. Ask any player that has won the MVP and they’d gladly turn it over for a Lombardi. We get that, but it doesn’t mean the MVP award is of little value. It would be the ultimate bird flip to anyone that ever doubted Josh. We should all hope to see that.

That’s true. Not only does Josh have to maintain, these other guys are going to have to fall off a little. Russ is playing out of his mind. Rodgers right there too. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Of course. I’d rather have those things too. But I’m enjoying the ride. When’s the last time we’ve had a player (let alone a QB) worthy of MVP consideration? Fred Jackson’s hot start in the mid-2000s before he was injured and lost for the year? Been too long.

Josh still getting no love for MVP on NFL total access. Russ and Rodgers I get. It’s arguable. But no one else should be higher than Allen through 4 games. Not even Mahomes. Tie between Russ, Rodgers, and Allen. We’ll see if our boy can hang with those heavyweights all year long.

Like most of you, I hate this. Sure, it’s a win. But, taking a game away from Josh hurts him statistically, which may work to his detriment RE: MVP candidacy.
