Son of a K-Gun

Funny that everyone is kvetching about the Bills facing the Colts or Titans run games in the playoffs and then in here people are hoping the Bills get the Eagles...mmmmkay.

Wait, did we play the Royals in October?

I mentioned this exact scenario upthread...sportswriters are notoriously petty and hate when players lie to them, as Rodgers did with his whole "I'm inoculated" BS. I am not at all surprised that writers are holding a grudge against him, though I am surprised that a writer was dumb enough to come out and say it. Here is Hub's actual statement; Rodgers was asked about the comments and he called Hub Arkush "a bum" multiple times and then spouted off that he's on a crusade against him because he isn't vaccinated. Said that they should rename the award the Most Valuable Vaccinated Player.

Awful take. The last thing this Bills team needs is another loss to a POS team like the Jets, no matter the circumstances. Keep the winning culture going.

Meh, Ronnie Lott would just cut the toe off.

I have (somehow) avoided the dedicated stadium/dome thread(s), but have seen the same number mentioned in here a couple of times now…is it really only an extra $500K for a dome? Hell if that’s the case I could sell my house and move in, Baker style. I’m working from home and the kids’ school is remote these days so why not??

Always a great read @Virgil and appreciate the effort you put into these. One thing I will say is that when I read through your post there are always a lot of "oh ya, I remember thinking that" moments from during game that I totally forgot about. Had never considered that you would need to be taking notes during the game to capture your thoughts but obviously when I see how many things I forget about it makes perfect sense. I'm sure that effort detracts somewhat from your game day experience, so understand completely the desire to dial it back.

Oh I missed that requirement that the test has to be outside of Canada, that's new. I had planned on testing at a Rexall but had to wait for the playoff game to be set as I would be crossing back into Canada anywhere from Saturday night to early Tuesday morning. It is becoming way too complex...I have no idea how to go about getting a PCR test with same-day results in a foreign country. For any other Canadians thinking of going... https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/covid-vaccinated-travellers-entering-canada Arriving by car, bus, boat, ferry or train You must take a molecular test outside of Canada within 72 hours of your planned entry into Canada.

And that's before we add in the $200 or so to get the impossible to book PCR test allowing us to come home.

The Bills could bring in Penny as a Beasley replacement and call the package Penny Slots. The Bills could put Penny in to defend late game Hail Mary attempts and hope for a Penny Pinch. The Bills could pair Penny with a bruising fullback and call that package In for a Penny in for a Pound. Maybe bring in James Conner as well and we can call the backfield JC Penny. Ultimately I'm just not sure bringing in Penny makes much Cents.

It seems like Josh takes bigger hits in the pocket than he does when he runs. Is it just me or when he runs he only really has big contact when he initiates it, and that is usually against smaller guys in the secondary. If he is going to get licked by a lineman or linebacker he hits the sideline. The biggest contact he takes might actually be from the ground when he decides to dive or hurdle guys...

Motor is truckin' guys right now but he was behind Harris and Chubb for sure. Those runs were ANGRY. If Motor keeps this up we have a real threat in the run game heading into the playoffs. Nowhere near the wear and tear of a back that has been leaned on over a 17-game regular season which can only help.

Great insight, thanks @HoofHearted The run game has certainly come together nicely the last few weeks and this helps to explain what’s changed. I took a peek at the team rankings just now and the Bills are 5th overall…10th in passing and 6th (!!!) in rushing. Never would have guessed that!

I know it’s juvenile, but every time I hear Land Clark this is all I can think of…

Did they really give Breida’s fumble to Josh in the NE game? Stats are weird…

Not saying this should factor into MVP voting in the slightest, but if we are trying to define “value” then do we consider that Rodgers’ cap hit in 2021 is $27M versus Josh Allen’s at $10M? Now who’s the highest value?

Unless your name is Lamar.

Just curious, but if a player becomes known for revealing the secret sauce, do teams become reluctant to sign them at the risk of their playbook and game plans being exposed? Would be funny if every time Barkley walks into the QB room everyone goes quiet and gives him the side eye. Haha, yup!

I just don’t want Rodgers to win because he’s an arrogant drama queen. He lied to everyone and put his team at risk, and put himself above the team multiple times going back to the offseason. The writers vote for the MVP and sportswriters have been swayed in the past against malcontents (see Bonds, Barry)…they don’t like being played the fool. That said, Rodgers is still the likely MVP because in the NFL the narrative always wins out, and he’s the late-season frontrunner.

After Pats* week I can’t help but wonder…where are the Falcons trolls???

Hmm, almost sounds like an argument for the metric system 🤔

The only thing hotter than Kay are her takes. She becomes more annoying with every show. Her flavour-of-the-week opinions are right there with Schrags. Whichever way the wind blows…

Right, Indy exposed the Pats… Exposed, as in get them into 2nd and 7 situations? I guess that isn’t stopping them 100% of the time, but it’s pretty damn close.

Just curious, how many Super Bowls did Stephen Hawking win?

My gut feeling is that Josh Allen is intelligent enough to get his linemen Patek Philippe’s (or Rolex or whatever) instead of Bitcoin for Dummies.
