Win and come out healthy.  That's all that matters.

Steelers.  I don't want Baltimore to sniff the playoffs.  The Steelers and the Ravens can both play defense.  So it comes down to offense for me.  And I would rather face Pittsburgh.

I dont want Baltimore sniffing the playoffs either but they are effectively in.  I think they just have to win one (they have the browns in week 18) to seal it.  To the earlier comment its difficult because a lot of this depends on what seed well get and thats sorta impossible to know at this point.

Trap game?

This was back when nobody knew about wings and blue cheese and now wings are nation wide. If you visit KC in the near future "The Peanut" is supposed to have the best wings in the city.

 

I've had wings at The Peanut.  If my memory is correct - it isn't always - the wings were good but lightly breaded so not true Buffalo Wings.

Friends, countrymen:

Illegalize flexing games from 1pm to 4:30 pm. It is a crime against humanity that should be punishable by death.

Thank you for listening.

I agree.  Stillers' D is much better than the Ravens' D, but their offense is not reliable.  I think Baltimore is the more dangerous team simply because of their offense.

I have more confidence in the Bills offense going up against the Steelers defense then I do the Bills defense going up against the Ravens offense. The Bills struggle against the run. I want no part of Henry and Jackson running the ball.

Fair but if Steelers lose to the Ravens, why wouldn't they have anything to play for against the chiefs?

I think you mean if the Steelers win.

 

In that case, Steelers have 2 games on Ravens with 2 games to go. Even if the Ravens catch up to the Steelers at the end, Steelers would win the division because of head to head results.

Agree. I would like the ravens to be the sixth seed so we don’t have to play them the first round and wouldn’t have to plan them until the championship

The Ravens defense is not good.

I would hope someone knocks them out before then. Steelers could do it as those games are always intense wars.

Steelers D Line (and 3-4 alignment) is perfect against an offense like Lamar Jackson's Ravens.

 

Keeanu Benton has developed into a stout NT (I like his key trait coming out of the draft - Very challenging to knock him off his feet - wishing the Bills can get someone like that at 1 DT position). The ageless Heyward is playing at pro-bowl level, very stout. When you can't push the 3 D lineman off their spot while Highsmith and Watt flying in from the outside (Watt is a very underrated run defender), if Lamar does not have his first read available to him, he's pretty much dead with no place to escape.

31 minutes?  That's not happening.  Any chance you could summarize?  I live in the Boston area but don't listen to sports talk radio or similar.  My guy who does is out of town so I'm out of the loop.

Pats-Bills will be shown to most of the country.

Guess Romo didn't want to re-book his tee times.

Not in Oregon…we get a “run-for-the-bus” game between two teams that are done for the year.🤔
