Low Positive

Actually, it the opposite. here’s the home team win rates in north american professional sports: MLS: 69% NBA: 63% NHL: 59% NFL: 58% MLB: 54% However, teams hosting the SB in their own stadiums are 2-0. https://www.chicagobooth.edu/review/home-field-advantage-facts-and-fiction#:~:text=In basketball%2C NBA teams win,American football%2C it's 57.6%.

Why did they never call that OPI when the Pats ran that play for 18 years?

Odell trash talk got them an extra 15 yards because Simmons is a hothead. He might have just cost them the game.

It’s because he was drafted after Josh and won the MVP when Josh was still not great. It was draft jealousy and people for some reason won’t come off of that position. I, for one, enjoy watching Lamar play. He’s exciting.

You can’t make up any new swear words because if you think of it, the Scots have already invented it.

I mean in general. That was a dumb play. If your going to qb sneak from the one, don’t run from the shotgun. His head is literally made of meat.

Lamar is playing really well right now.

It’s just odd that both you and he came up with the same metaphor for watching the Broncos.

A fellow Brandon Perna fan, I see. My favorite thing this week was him superimposing Kevin James’ face over Sean Payton and then never saying anything about it.

Another one that’s been run is “what happens if a team gets no actual home field advantage?” They tried it with the Chargers and liked it so much that they moved the Raiders to Vegas.

He had a single bad game where the Bills asked him to step in and cover Calvin Ridley one on one. We’re just fixated on it because it’s the last thing that we saw.

If Beane was fooled by Elam, so was the rest of the NFL world. I know people hate mock drafts, and they are useless as predictors of actual picks. But they are useful in looking back on the consensus of the football world on a player leading into a draft. Every mock that I can find for the 2022 draft had Elam as a first-rounder, and all but one had him going before the Bills pick. Sometimes, a player does not live up to their potential. I could create a long list of these players, but they sting a lot more when that happens to your favorite team. What we know about Beane's drafting is that he focuses a lot on physical traits over college performance. Sometimes that works (Josh Allen, Groot) and sometimes that doesn't (Elam, Cody Ford, and perhaps Spencer Brown). I actually think that the lack of big-time winners in high school and college on this team is holding them back at crunch time in the playoffs, but every time I state this on here I get a lot of red exes and throwup emojis. For example, Josh has never won a championship, and I don't think Diggs has either. The Bengals are loaded with guys who won in college. The game is never too big for Joe Burrow because he played in the Ohio High School Championship Game and in the CFB Playoff Championship game. Higgins won at Clemson. Chase, of course, won at LSU with Burrow. Mahomes won a state championship in Texas, which was probably the biggest game in his life until he played in the Super Bowl. But then again, neither Brady nor Kelse won anything in high school or college so what do I know?

He’s been released. No trade needed.

Yes, they have to win this one. The Bills should be 5-0 right now and they still have to play CIN, KC, PHI, DAL, and LAC with 4 of those 5 on the road.

OT: My wife made a pizza last week that was excellent. Dough from Trader Joes. Ricotta base, topped with a 4-cheese blend and prosciutto. Then after the bake, she topped that with arugula and a drizzle of balsamic. It was really good.

And their last SB against the Rams was 13-3.

We haven't actually seem them play yet, so I don't know. I would have to think that McDermott is adjusting the scheme to take some of the coverage load off of the OLB, but we don't know how he'll do that.

I don't disagree, but the Chiefs lost to Matt Ryan and the Colts last year and I think that the season worked out pretty well for them.

Watch the game next week like the sucker that I am. I'm on this train for life. My father raised his fist and said "Go Bills" on his death bed. That's how deep this runs.

McD said he was on a snap count. Looking at the snap counts for the game I think it’s safe to say that count was 20.

Just checked. If Jones is out, they’ll have to elevate Tommy DeVito from the PS.

Im sure the purpose of the restructure and the release is to allow him to go back to KC. There is nothing Beane can do about that.

We wouldn’t even have to lose. A close(ish) would do the trick.

Not at PUke. They’re bad at football this year. If OSU gets past PSU next week, then they’ll win easily until the showdown up north.

As an IU grad, I can attest that nothing good has ever happened in West Lafayette. Except perhaps the birth of Axl Rose. The whole place smells like cow turds. You probably don’t care, but Incould deliver a 10 minute rage tirade on that bastid Brian Cardinal right now. BTW: Welcome back.
