Low Positive

Reminds me of watching an NBA game called by Bill Walton about 10 years ago. A Pistons player threw away an inbounds pass (something that happens all the time), and Walton said "that was the worst play in the history of professional basketball." If you search YouTube, he named at least 20 plays a year the "worst in the history of the NBA."

Everyone here fears and loves the Bengals offense, but their #1 play is "throw one up for Higgins or Chase."

I hate garbage time TDs.

So we need to put in the backups to run a successful screen?

One might say clean.

They were guarding against a fake because the NYJ faked one last week.

That's two flags that they've picked up for the Jets.

But he didn't look good in his last game, and that's all anyone can remember.

Good. The last time the Bills played in record cold on WC Weekend, they didn't punt.

DT-R vs Tyler Huntley. Must-see TV.

This is a weird game. The Jets are going to go all out, but they can't play spoiler. I know that we're all worked up about seeding, but the worst that it can be is #3. That's a good place to be in week 17. But I'll still be mad if they lose.

And delay. Lots and lots of delay. So... Extra Delay Guitar Explorer But on a serious note, when I was a kid they had DE, DTs, and LBs. Now they got Edge, 1T, 3T, Mike, Sam and Will. I blame Mel Kiper.

If you need a fun watch for your Saturday evening, here's one:

Jake Browning went .500 with that roster last year.

You know you're in trouble when your RB is taller than your QB.

Keep Pounding!!!

I believe the technical term is "smurf."

I stand corrected on that, but Mike Brown is still alone in his cheapness. Great QBs are supposed to do that. Mahomes won a SB with JuJu and MVS as his two best receivers. Brady made Edelman into a star. Joe Burrow can't win a game without both of his all-pro receivers.

Burrow is strange for a great QB. Usually a top QB elevates the talent around him, but Burrow really needs two #1 WRs to be successful. For example, the Bengals are 6-4 with Higgins but 1-4 without him. The only game that the Bengals won without Higgins was against the Raiders. Chase has played every game. So, just having the best WR in the league is not enough for him. He needs #1 and another top 10 guy to do anything.

Richardson is also not going to play, but I think they can beat the Giants with Flaco.

Yes and no. They put a bubble over a turf field. It was a pure Ralph Wilson move.

The only one that could potentially affect the Bills is Broncos over the Bengals. But I want the Xarss to beat the Rams to make week 18 exciting.

And now from the other side. I once graded an exam where the students were asked why the US Senate didn’t ratify the Treaty of Versailles. One student wrote “The US Senate didn’t ratify the Treaty of Versailles because President Hitler didn’t take any Senators to the conference.” So close. I also had a student write “President Washington was lucky to have such well endowed advisors like Jefferson and Hamilton.” Now that’s a reference book that would tell us a lot.

What? Tank Dell tore his ACL, MCL, LCL, and dislocated his kneecap. https://www.click2houston.com/sports/2024/12/24/sources-texans-tank-dell-tore-medial-collateral-lateral-collateral-as-well-as-acl-dislocated-knee-meniscus-damage/

It could work the other way. They have less incentive to leave early so teams get to see them develop for longer. A good example is Bo Nix. He was pro-ready in ways that QBs of the past were not.
