I'm not going to judge if choking is your kink.

You have to admit, compared to today's other games, that was the most exciting finish of all of them 

[Warcodered]

Drew Brees is a solid citizen and a beautiful man....no it's not because he just said the Bills are the most complete team in the AFC. 😏

He did.

Bears gave up next year’s #1 to move up for him. 

Fields had 5 turnovers today  - 3 INT's & 2 lost fumbles - that's Petermanesque!

Matt Ruhle is a scum bag and a loser.

 

 

 

"We just came out of halftime and I was just like, alright, this just doesn't feel right. It feels flat. It's not how it's supposed to feel. It was 3rd and 2 and the ball didn't hit Colin [Thompson]. Does he drift? I don't know but I could feel it was like hey, it's at the tipping point. We're now or never. I think I waited one more drive and then I went ahead and did it. The last thing I wanted to do is embarrass somebody and I know this is going to be the story this week. Sam will define who he is. This is up to him."

No Matt.  Your terrible coaching should be the story. 

 

And maybe you should explain what's really going on with CMC to and how you and your staff are going to oversee a league star missing potentially TWO SEASONS.

I have nothing against Ruhle, but I always appreciate a good rant.

important AFC games are done for the week. My top 5 AFC as of Sunday night.

 

Tennessee 

Buffalo
Cincinnati
Baltimore
LA Chargers

 

I want to put Cleveland in there but i can’t with Mayfield out. and the Chargers edged them head to head.  Seems weird with no KC in there.

Hopefully someone let's him know on Twitter if he is there.

[Ed_Formerly_of_Roch]

Wow, hard to believe 10 teams already have had their bye this season.  Not playing fantasy this year, don't notice it.

I have no idea where I stand. Putting together each team's best wins vs notable/meaningful losses, it's a weird picture.

 

Tennessee (5-2):  

*Jets: Loss 27 - 24

*Chiefs: Win 27 - 3

*Bills: Win 34 - 31

(Key/Big Opponents Left - Rams, maybe Patriots)

 

Baltimore (5-2): 

*Chiefs: Win 36 - 35

*Chargers: Win 34 - 6

*Bengals: Loss 41 - 17

(Key/Big Opponents Left - Browns x 2, Packers, Bengals, Rams)

 

Buffalo (4-2):

*2 Shutouts (Bad Teams)

*Chiefs: Win 38 - 20

*Titans: Loss 34 - 31 

(Key/Big Opponents Left - Bucs, maybe Patriots x 2)

 

Cincinnati (5-2):

*Bears: Loss 20 - 17

*Ravens: Win 41 - 17

(Key/Big Opponents Left - Browns x 2, Raiders, Chargers, Ravens, Chiefs)

 

LA Chargers (4-2):

*Chiefs: Win 30 - 24

*Raiders: Win 28 - 14

*Ravens: Loss 34 - 6

(Key/Big Opponents Left - Bengals, Chiefs, Raiders, maybe Patriots)

 

Las Vegas (5-2):

*Ravens: Win 33 - 27

*Chargers: Loss 28 - 14

*Bears: Loss 20 - 9

(Key/Big Opponents Left - Chiefs x 2, Bengals, Cowboys, Browns, Chargers)

 

Looking at that, I guess I'd go:

 

1. Titans

2. Bills

4(T). Chargers

4(T). Ravens

5. Bengals

6. Raiders

 

The Titans have an even softer schedule than us coming up, and our toughest opponent left is an NFC team for both of us. The rest of the teams beat up on each other quite a bit, even the Bengals have in-conference games against Raiders, Chiefs & Chargers, not to mention their divisional rival Ravens. Hell, the Chiefs may never get their act together & fall off as a worthy test all together. Ravens mainly have to worry about division rivals, otherwise it's just 2 x NFC contenders, and the Raiders sit at 5-2 but with a ton of questions.

 

Funny enough, even if the Chiefs get it together, they basically have losing tie-breakers with the top of the field (and are still to play the Bengals & Raiders). Overall, looks good for the Bills provided they come out hot after the bye & stay healthy.

I wonder if you would have Buffalo #1 if Josh had converted the QB sneak.

[Jeffbigalls]

Cincy is playing good ball, they are 5-0 in the conference, 2 loses to NFC teams 

 

They very well could be 6-1 right now if they could have found a way to make a damn fg against GB

Yeah, probably.  But he didn’t convert and Bills lost head to head.  And then Tenn comes out and kills KC worse than we did. So for tonight, Tennessee gets ranked ahead of Buf.  

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Miami fans must be furious every week watching Bengals and Chargers highlights.

4-0, not much of a big deal, that will be 5-0 after next week's easy win for them.
