Getting the 5th seed is super important. A game against the Steelers or Ravens will be much easier than going back to NRG Stadium in the first round.

In defense of Beane, things would look a lot different with a healthy Oliver, Hoecht and Bosa. Those are three above average pass rushers. Just didn’t work out that way, and there is some luck involved.

Pats possibly without their stud DT and 2 starting LBers. Not to mention the weather might be a wintry mix. Just pound the football.

What a sloppy game. Atlanta is probably right there with the Panthers and Bucs if Cousins started the whole season.

Dumb coaches get burned by chasing points. I see it every week, just take the points.

Contract year

What genius decided to make the line of scrimmage overlay orange?

Pretty sure I read a report he got an x-ray right after the Bengals game.

Kalir?

I’m thinking if he does play he will basically be a game manager. Hand the ball off, and throw the 2 or 3 throws he’s still comfortable making. I’d expect 15 passing attempts for the entire game. Nothing down the field unless it’s a go route. No routes where he has to stand in the pocket and wait.

The first one was on Burrow for sure. Almost looked like his hand slipped on the ball when releasing it. Second one I agree was largely luck (good or bad luck depending on your perspective).

Stafford very well could finish #2 in his division (actually, I expect it).

His last 10 games includes 3 games over 100 yards. But in general his average performance seems to be like 3 receptions on 5 targets for 40 yards and a TD every other game. Not exactly huge output. There is a very good chance he won't break 1k yards this year.

I think he could get it with the #2 seed, but Stafford would have to put up a couple stinkers and the Rams couldn’t also be #1 seed. It actually isn’t impossible that the Rams drop to a Wild Card. Seahawks are tied with them and they and still have a H2H. Also Seahawks outperformed them in the first matchup but Darnold went full Jets-mode in that game.

I think an argument can be made that snowy bad weather effects the passing game for both QBs playing in a game, but Allen has proven over time it affects him less. Let’s see how MVP-candidate Maye performs in the same conditions. He’s more of a touch passer.
