Yawn...hopefully it will be over by halftime so all the people who need to wake up early Monday morning can get to bed at a decent time.

It's about time...you needed to be done 5 hours ago.

Allen turning the ball over in the first game is what led to that and the offense doing nothing is what led to the loss against Cincy. If you are expecting the D to hold a good offensive team to 7 points in the playoffs you are dreaming...that's not the way the NFL works anymore. Did you watch the Super Bowl at all last year? How important was defense in that game? Not very.

It's actually weird because Elam was very good in zone coverage early last year...especially in the Ravens game. Specifically remember watching a knowledgable NFL person break down Elam's film and show how he baited Jackson into an INT in that game and generally looked like he was a natural zone corner. Not sure exactly what happened since then to him.

Exactly what constitutes a playoff defense these days? They tend not to matter much at the end of the day against good offenses.

They'll be perfectly fine just like they were last year with tons of injuries. McDermott's D is premised on scheme being more important than the individual players in it. It's why they typically don't miss a beat.

I am not using that as an excuse at all, I am saying the injuries on D will not be the reason why they don't win if they don't. The D will be plenty good enough. Perhaps you should actually read the entire thread to see my previous posts before making up bedtime stories.

Started from the bottom now we're here...

I'm just happy professional athletes don't have the mental toughness of the posters on this board who fold like a cheap tent the second any type of adversity strikes. Makes me shudder to think what must happen in their personal life when they burn toast...must ruin their whole year and force them to go see their therapist for hours of intensive counseling to help them thru the trauma.

I don't count anything from that game as real. Goodell's experiment was a failure. Doubt we see that happen again.

Wrong...it's still better than KC's defense that won 2 super bowls by a lot. The secondary is in better shape than it was last year early in the year.

Good enough to stay in the top 12 in the NFL which means plenty good enough to win the SB. Better than KC's D the last two times they won. Make no mistake, if we don't, it will not be due to the defense not being good enough.

I mean seriously? Do you watch football? How is a Defensive Edge Rusher going to replace a weak side LB? Bills fans are often considered the smartest in football but when I read these forums it really makes me wonder at times.

Anyone who thinks McD is on the hot seat is smoking crack. The science doesn't back this up. Over the last 70 years of teams in all kinds of sports traveling overseas, don't you think they've already got that figured out as to what works best? Did you hear any of the NFL players who have been on teams that have done that and how they said it was a nightmare? No, of course not, because you simply want to keep perpetuating this myth since you've convinced yourself it makes sense in your own head even tho it doesn't work the way you think it would for the body.

Absolutely nothing it's a fast day like every Sunday is. A few scoops of Perfect Amino in about 40 ounces of water is about it for me for the game.

Why wouldn't we want to see if Cincy turned it's season around with a good offensive showing last week or if it was a fluke? They are teetering in the brink of disaster this season for a team that knocked us out of the playoffs last year. I think quite a few people, including myself wants to see this game.

The biggest impact player could be McDermott putting the backups in as early as possible so he doesn't risk any more starters getting hurt.

This will be an unmitigated bloodbath with neutral fans from other teams begging NBC and the NFL to call it off by halftime and asking "please don't make us watch anymore of this...it's just not right what's happening out there on that field." I'm not sure there will be an impact player...it's basically the Bills versus a MAC team. Will be so bad every player will look great for the Bills.

Nothing, he is on a snap count and I think after they saw how bad the turf was there, they weren't risking him anymore.

This is basically the Bills versus a MAC team. We could likely play backups and win this game going away.

My God...the Giants are without their best OLineman LT Andrew Thomas and their starting Center this game. Tyrod might get killed behind that OLine. Tyrod might not survive the first quarter. Their best bet would be to literally hand off to Barkley every play.

Denver is so inept I don't see how they are going to win another game.

Are we talking about the same player who has made numerous amazing catches along the sidelines including back to back ones in the Colts playoff games?

Exactly...they had nobody to throw the ball to and he STILL can't put up default #1 Numbers without a Diggs taking the bulk of targets.
