Flag was legitimate. That spot on the other hand…

Yeah, leaving the middle of the field open was far more egregious. What I wish more than anything is McD being forthright with what happened. There was no competitive advantage to not telling us. I truly think the fans deserved to know

Yeah, lets leave Kelce wide open.

You would have punted at the 37 yard line? huh?

Excellent job by Woods to block the Chief from downing the ball. Remember I told you about that last week @GunnerBill?

When did the Texans defense become all-world??

I dont see how a couple weeks would change anything. Its not like the Head Coach is the GM - drafting in a few months.

Alright, that puts me a bit at ease. I hadn't read that before.

Agreed. No one should be upset with Brady. This is an NFL issue that should be fixed. Teams shouldnt be allowed to interview until the day after the Super Bowl.

I do. It not only takes the time for the interview itself (zoom or otherwise), but it also takes the mental energy of preparing for that call. Anyone who has ever had an interview in their life (and was prepared for it) can attest to the mental prepwork that occurs for many hours prior. Monken, the Ravens OC, criticized that facet of the process this week in press conferences. And that is coming from someone who is actively interviewing. He understands the time commitment it takes away from his current team. He doesnt like it.

Agreed. It’s semantics.

It is clear that you did not read the post at all and rushed to respond, because we were not talking about Buffalo or our players at all.

Because that’s the game environment you’re going to be in. You should practice in the conditions that you will play in. It is for this same reason that the Bills cranked up the heat in the field house to prepare for Miami games. It is for this same reason that Belichick would bring the 6 time Super Bowl champion Patriots outdoors and pour water on the balls and make them practice in that. Practicing in conditions opposite of what you will play is logically unbound. Footing is different on a frozen field. Ligaments do not stretch as much. Entire plays that work in good weather, don’t always work in bad weather, because they rely on speed that doesn’t exist in cold weather. etc. The greatest coaches of all time understood this and would make their team practice in the conditions they play in. Including Parcells, Belichick, Landry and Lambeau.

I respect Lamar for this take. It’s always bothered me to a small degree how close Bills players are too players of other teams. The hugging after the game, etc. I miss the bitterness of the 80’s and 90’s when teams truly hated each other.

Well that makes no logical sense. In that case, you can’t play well in poor conditions either.

Agreed. I don’t think we are going to see the Ravens offense whither just because it’s cold. That being said, I thought it was funny that Harbaugh wouldn’t let them practice outside this week because the field was frozen. What does he think is going to be the conditions on Sunday? He did leave the exterior doors on their indoor practice facility open though.

NFL network is playing 2 of the best playoff games (for the causal NFL fan) of the past decade? Pretty shocking.

We rarely punish QB’s when they run. It’s one of my biggest gripes with our defense. I would be instructing our runners to level Mahomes, Lamar, etc when they run. I’ll take the 15 yard penalty a few times. I’m not worried about them retaliating and trying to level our tank of a QB. If anything, i’d be more worried about tendons and ligaments in cold weather (they become more stiff and have less ability to stretch).

Tackling that freight train known as Derrick Henry is going to suck in cold weather.

“The Vikings, I assume, are aware that they’re down 18 points” - Joe Buck Their play calling is as if they’re up 18 points.

They’re still running the ball …. ………
