It probably was a message board overstatement, but people like Skip Bayless and Mina Kimes are almost giddy the morning after Josh has a bad game. Bayless was saying that he would take Baker Mayfield over Josh Allen until earlier THIS SEASON. Mike Tannenbaum still says that he would take Justin Herbert over Josh. The reason for all this is because they want to have their draft night takes proven right. 

 

Why would anyone listen to Skip Bayless? I don't even know who Mina Kimes is and don't care their opinion

Skip Bayless is a 💩.

Poyer's been on the report for weeks I'm assuming he's fine to play. 

 

Basham sucks there is probably zero drop off to Kingsley.

I’m always rooting for bogey, but Kingsley made an in mediate impact sometimes you just find those guys

Basham is a major disappointment. At least there is some hope for Kingsley.

What does this even mean?   His actions don't align with these statements.  

 

Dane Jackson has struggled all year.  I get that they trust him and he's usually in good position to make the play... but just hasn't.   

 

Kaiir Elam has made some noticeable plays in limited snaps and from all the "watch the tape" guys, his play on the field is pretty solid.  

 

Far be it for me to question this staff on the secondary, but the Elam/Benford/Jackson stuff has been annoying, to say the least.

I could live with this.

LOL. 37-9. I would love that but let's be realistic here.

Titans have about 10 players out. No way that game is close tonight

Has Poyer been on the report for weeks with a knee? 

 

I looked

Not on injury report since Week 12, up until last week when he missed 2 days of practice

Obviously this would be mega but it looks like the ESPN stimulation machine has been on the Christmas sherry.

Yea you're right it was just last week. Still I think it's a safe assumption that he's playing.

Jonathan played 29 snaps

Had 1 tackle, for a loss

 

Basham has been averaging 40% of the snaps in 14 games.  Has 18 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 5 QB hits, 2 sacks, 2 PD, and a fumble recovery

 

Now maybe you're correct and Jonathan can do as well

 

But he needs to come up with some game-impacting plays to prove it

I hope you're right, because we need him

 

Still a concern to me.

Joe Buck on calling Bills-Bengals, the biggest ‘Monday Night Football’ game in decades

 

Joe Buck jogs his memory and the answer is clear: He has never called an AFC regular-season game with this much on the line.

 

With he* and Troy Aikman’s first year in the “Monday Night Football” booth concluding in a couple of weeks, the duo gets a massive New Years gift: The Bills (12-3) traveling to Cincinnati to play the Bengals (11-4) on Monday night, with a later-than-normal 8:30 p.m. ET kickoff. The teams’ combined 23 wins is tied with Denver and San Francisco in 1997 for the most ever wins entering a “Monday Night Football” broadcast. The game has massive implications for both teams given the No. 1 seed in the AFC is still undecided. It’s also a showcase between two of the game’s best quarterbacks — Josh Allen and Joe Burrow.

 

“We’ve (he and Aikman) never called a game in the AFC with this much on the line in our 21 years,” Buck said this week. “You hoped when the schedule came out that it would come down to something like this, but there’s so many different factors involved that rarely does it get there, whether it’s an injury or one team doesn’t play as well as you think it will. But this feels like an AFC Championship Game to me. I was just thinking about the game, and I got that rush of nerves and excitement that I would typically get the week of the Super Bowl. It was a great feeling to have.”
