Benford was not on the field on 1st down when the Epenesa INT happened. Hairston and Tre were out there on the corners. Anybody know if something is up and if so, what?

He was not on the field for the Epenesa INT on 1st down. Tre and Hairston were on the corners.

I'm honestly having a hard time being positive after that game, so I'm mostly keeping my mouth shut.

We'll have to see a full field replay to be sure but Milano was late with a bad angle and no safety is running Chase down, so if Benford doesn't make that play, it may well have been a Bengals TD that put the nail in the coffin.

If the Bungles have any sense of decency they'll come up with an "injury" and put him on IR for the last 4 games of the year.

Why on Earth would anybody gaf?

I think he thought he'd escaped it but Highsmith still had just enough toe to trip him up.

Lamar using over 1:00 and their only timeout to get them into 4th down right away

Pitt/Balt about to have a fun finish if anybody wants to check it out

He's been playing his ass off for a month+ now.

Which is exactly what they would have done, probably using all 3:00 to do so, and possibly ending it with a 2pt conversion.

Yeah, because relying on the D to win the game would have been brilliant....

Benford was not on the field

I checked out early. Has Tre been rotating with Hairston or did they just make the switch and stick with Hairston after the first drive?

If it is, it's the first time today.

Yes, but after we all jump off bridges later, nobody will be there to see it

F'ing Edwards again

They've been opening with a lot of good scripted drives so I'm more hopeful than that.

I think Tre hasn't deserved half the shlt he's gotten this year, but at this point they need to get Hairston out there and leave him out there.

Hancock in on 3rd/5

Especially on the larger hills...

This can definitely be an issue if you overdo it, but the nice thing about layers is that you can start peeling them off one at a time, tie them around your waist and sit on them if you feel your pores opening up and the sweat coming on.

Never. I doubt my mind works quickly enough for me to have been any good at it. The closest I ever got was having the ear of the guy who does call them i.e. "Buck, switch up to man the next time we have our ass backed up to the 10yrd line" They should broadcast every game in slomo. But since you can't have a 7 hour broadcast, the least they could do is make the attempt to show more replays (which they seem to be slowly abandoning) so that folks actually have a chance to see what is really going on in there.

Yeah, it looks like it might move through a little faster than anticipated

A winter hat that covers ears Thicker waterproof gloves, preferably mittens to keep your fingers together A thin thermal base layer against your body (upper and lower) and then multiple layers added to your upper body on top of that. Make sure your pants over the thermal layer are thickish and loose fitting (not denim) and an extra pair of shorts under those pants to protect your ass from a cold bench is a plus. Layers work infinitely better than a single large coat because they retain multiple pockets of warmer air between them that can't escape as easily. Two pairs of socks (the outer ones wool) and a comfortable pair of work boots. If any kind of precipitation is expected, make sure your outer layer is water resistant (I prefer wool, but something with goretex is also acceptable)
