Albany,n.y.

Before this week's playoffs started I told someone that I didn't think Tennessee would get in the Super Bowl for this reason: Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Ryan Tannehill. Three franchise QBs and Ryan "3 picks" Tannehill. I don't have an explanation of what happened in GB, other than if you look at recent head to head records SF has GB's number.

When I was a kid growing up in the suburbs of NYC I used to see lots of Titans fans. After A few years they all became Jets fans.

A Ponzi Scheme involves decepton & fraud, all I'm doing is betting legally & hoping the Bills come through for me & help pay for my ticket. If they lose I'm out a lot less than I will be spending anyway, if they win I've got a Super Bowl ticket basically for its face value with the money I initially put in.

Right now there are cheaper seats than that, fees included, but I'd rather not say where they are until I have my seats next Sunday night. I'm rooting big time for Tampa today for 2 reasons: 1) I don't want the Bills to play the home team in the Super Bowl (see how that worked out last year when I warned everyone about the danger of the Bucs in their home stadium when I thought the Bills had a shot to go to the Super Bowl). 2) If it's Rams 49ers in the NFC championship game the speculators might buy up all the cheaper seats before next Sunday's games, and I'm not buying Super Bowl tickets until after thre Bills clinch a Super Bowl spot. Right now I can fit 2 tickets (I'll get reimbursed for the other ticket) on my credit card but if prices get much higher I won't be able to fit both tickets on my card & we'll have a tough time splitting up the payments. The main reason I have enough $ to go is because I've structured my bets to help pay for the ticket figuring if they lose I won't need to spend $ for the ticket anyway. I have bets in today that will pay me almost $2,800 if the Bills win today (I'll take out 2 grand if they win) and I bet futures on the Bills winning the AFC which pays $3,250. Add that to the $2,500 I already withdrew the 1st week of online betting and I've just about paid for my ticket-AS LONG AS THE RAMS AREN'T IN THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. Many of you will hate it but for me Brady winning today is a must win.

Because he feels it's ridiculous to bring in a guy who recently retired as a player & has never been a coach. He's more old school and believes a coach starts at a lower point & works his way up, not go from a retired player to a head coach with no experience in between. If you want to hear what he said, I linked the show somewhere in this thread & since it is right at the beginning you don't have to fish around for where his rant starts.

Game not games, Tyler Huntley won 1 game in 4 starts. Thar's a win % of 25% with Huntley starting. With Lamar Jackson the Ravens are 37-12 (75.5% win %) in 4 seasons. Even though they weren't as good this year they were 7-5 (58.3%) with Lamar. 58.3% is much better than 25%.

The goal is to win games. The Ravens fell apart after Lamar got hurt & Huntley replaced him.

You just need to listen to the 1st few minutes to hear the Tasker rant: https://www.buffalobills.com/audio/obl-1-21-greg-cosell-previews-bills-chiefs-friday-mailbag

McCown did such a great job mentoring Sam Darnold with the Jets, that's all he had to bring up in his interview to get the Texans attention. 🙃

Here's the story: https://www.sbnation.com/2022/1/21/22894848/josh-mccown-texans-coach-qb Steve Tasker went nuts on OBL when they discussed this to open the show.

The Giants definitely need a veteran to compete with Daniel Jones for the QB spot. Considering this is expected to be a weak QB draft, it doesn't make sense to use either of their 2 top 10 picks on a QB. Let Trubisky & Jones fight it out & they will have a very good backup too since the Trubisky/Jones 1-2 in either order are a lot better than this year's disaster at backup after Jones went down. Then evaluate both & see if either is good enough to be the 2023 starter. If both fail to impress, draft a rookie in 2023.

Unlike Edelman, Belichick bet the Bills to win the AFC.

Sounds good to me. I'll be the 1st in line for season tickets.

Ruggs told his agent to call KC to see if they would offer him a futures contract and his agent told him that they are not signing anyone to a contract for the year 2050.

Anyone but the Rams. We saw what a home field advantage in the Super Bowl is last year. With 2 hectic weeks for a team that has to travel & do all the press stuff vs being at home those 2 weeks, the difference is huge and is more valuable than a typical home team's home field advantage. Also, the price of Super Bowl tickets will skyrocket if the Rams are in.

There are 2 problems with bringing Fitz back. 1) He has to be cleared medically 2) He has to be willing to take less money than his last few years. If we can get by those 2 things, I don't think there's anyone who wouldn't want him back.

I think he read those conspiracy theories on this board and believed them.

I think it's pretty ridiculous to question whether a player should play injured & risk further injury without an understanding of his medical condition. Unless the OP is Lamar's doctor his opinion is pretty worthless. As far as the media goes, anyone who crushes any injured player in the media also has a pretty worthless opinion.

Edelman bet $50,000 each on NE & TB winning their conferences. If Tampa doesn't get to the Super Bowl he loses a total of $100,000. They brought this up on Inside the NFL tonight.

I've seen a few posts in this thread linking the 2018 pick we got in the Mahomes trade to Josh Allen. That simply isn't true. That pick & the pick we got for Tyrod were traded for Edmunds. Allen was aquired with pick #12 (our own pick #21 + Cordy Glenn), our own 2nd & the 2nd we got from LA in the Watkins trade. It's actually more correct to link the Dawkins pick to the Allen pick. Dawkins emergence as a rookie enabled the Bills to package Glenn to Cincy with the 21st pick to move up to 12.

I've never understood the fan mentality that thinks they have to act like the players & coaches should be acting. We're not playing in the game. If we trash talk on a message board nobody is going to hang it up in the KC locker room to rile them up. I always tell people to stop blurring the lines, you're not playing next Sunday night.

Rams D to Kyler: We know who the #### you are.

For those of us planning to go to the Super Bowl if the Bills make it, it gives us a head start in getting Super Bowl tickets, and travel plans started over the NFC team's fans.

He won't hit the rookie wall in future years.
