If they can get him for the right price, sure. He is a definite improvement over Edmunds. If he wants a bunch of guaranteed money that creates a difficult cap situation, then no. He is 32 years old; this team cannot afford to lock up more money with aging players on defense.

The linked article isn't very complete. Here's a copy from Yahoo Sports which cites the original USA Today article, which does cite the salaries paid out: https://sports.yahoo.com/russell-wilsons-why-not-you-foundation-reportedly-spent-more-on-employee-salaries-than-charitable-activities-185532088.html All I will add to the salary thing - the CEO of Northwest Harvest, one of the two major food banks in the Seattle area and one of the most well known charities in the region, is pulling in $175,000 according to Charity Navigator. The salary itself is certainly comparable to Tarpley's, but size and scope of the two CEOs' workloads certainly cannot be compared. It's entirely possible that everything is above board, but the response from Wilson's charity didn't refute any of the reporting.

This is pretty much what I expected. I really wanted to see some changes on the defensive staff, but I guess that's not happening.

Cincinnati is exactly the kind of team that gives McD and Frazier fits. Physical, smash-mouth football that this team cannot match. They were built to beat KC, not the Bengals. This is exactly why I was not feeling good about this game, and it played out exactly the way I thought it would.

Where's the delay of game?

McD with the boneheaded timeout again...

Everyone knew this was how it was going to go.

Reminiscent of the tuck rule.

Mahomes shouldn't be out there. If that was Allen I would be pissed that the team wasn't protecting him.

I think the fact that Dallas is the team giving Tom Brady his come-uppance is part of it. Watching Jerry Jones celebrate in his suite after a touchdown isn't exactly a moment I relish.

This game is just ridiculously boring to watch. If Tom Brady plays next season, please do not give that team extra primetime games just because of him. This is like watching the last year of Peyton Manning.

Sounds about right - 5 touchdowns and 5 missed PATs.

I agree with this take, which is crazy because Brown was the Bills' equivalent of the Iraqi Information Minister for years. Brown's leading softball questions at press conferences and his nauseatingly positive website articles were pure propaganda during one of the worst stretches of failure in the franchise's history. I can only think that Russ Brandon and Scott Berchtold must have made it clear that honest assessments of the team's performance were not permitted. Brown now seems to be at least partially objective, at least in comparison to Tasker who is drunk on Bills Kool-Aid every afternoon. I think Brown has done a very good job with the play-by-play gig considering the circumstances, although I tend to agree with others that I would rather see someone else hired full-time. Assuming Murph can't go on, the franchise is good enough that they should be able to attract national talent for the play-by-play position. Scraping through the communications department for someone willing to take the gig should no longer be necessary.

Carl Cheffers is the referee. We last saw him in Week 16 against Chicago... which left a bit to be desired, imo. https://www.footballzebras.com/2023/01/hochuli-blakeman-cheffers-and-vinovich-are-divisional-playoff-referees/

Marlowe!

Tag/Trade seems like the best move to me. I mean - could you imagine Josh pulling something like this with the injury and the playoff game? Or Mahomes? I certainly can't. I feel like this, combined with the contract situation, would seem to indicate that moving on is in everyone's best interest.

And then it was 3.

Will the Chargers choke?

Maybe if this was Mahomes or Brady throwing the picks. Lawrence looks like Nathan Peterman out there.

Nathan Peterman has to be watching Lawrence and just hoping he throws 2 more...

If Baltimore beats Cincinnati and the Bills win on Sunday, they are guaranteed to go to KC in the next round as they will be the lowest remaining seed. The Bills would play the winner of LAC/JAX.

I would be very surprised if they do not go for the secondary with their early round picks, assuming there are good players available at CB or S.

Fish in the playoffs! Oh, still wish it was colder? Sushi best served cold! Marino pounds desk! Those January losses struck a nerve I guess. Josh and Sean get to have a taste of the nineties! Win and squish the fish!

I would take Pittsburgh in a second. That is a lot better than some of the other alternatives being discussed.

I had heard that Ford Field was rented out for an event after the Lions were eliminated from the possibility of hosting the NFC Championship. I don't think it's an option.
