About as healthy as the Chiefs for a change.

 

Only thing is, I’d argue it benefits them even more because in the past couple weeks they get players back that missed all or most of the regular season (I.e. Hollywood Brown and Jaylen Watson).

 

And Hollywood is pretty much a bonus for them at this point. The narrative that the Chiefs don’t have a lot of talent at the WR position is overrated at this point, even without Rice.

Yeah, almost in secret that have assembled a squad that has THREE former 1,000 yard WRs, Pacheco and Hunt at RB, not to mention quite possibly the best TE of all time. And an emerging player behind him in Noah Grey. They have a ton of weapons....but we still hear how Mahomes just has nothing to work with.

And Mahomes is hitting everyone same as The Bills do. "Everybody eats" is very much alive in KC too. Who do you cover? If we meet them again in the AFCCG, it will be a slugfest.

I mean they can just call him up from the ps

 

I think a move is coming 

I think the bills are signing Ngakoue 

 

They can only call two players up from the practice squad without having to cut someone from the 53 man roster, and getting the players back through waivers before re-signing them to the PS.  And, each player only gets 3 callups; I believe Mike White has had 2.

I have zero faith the people currently running the pats will make the best use of the #1 pick.

They are a mess and seemingly are bringing everyone back to try it again next year.

 

i want the bills to win.  The pats having the number 1 pick means nothing to me and the bills winning 14 games in a season is pretty great.

see I think that’s wrong. It DOES mean something to you if they trade it for a couple impactful 2nds. 
 

we play them twice a year and that could haunt us for a decade +.

Yes, it possibly could.

 

While the Patriots have not drafted well over the last several years we cannot assume that will continue next year.

 

They could have a lucky good draft.

Could have attended the game in person but didn't to watch game with girlfriend at a bar - Walked out of bar when things looked super bleak and IIRC, went back in to bar eventually to watch the comeback!

So you could’ve been one of the 800,000 people that were at the game?

Let Pats win. NE QB looks legit and many rounds of 4+ draft spots can be magnifying this dumb game for yrs.
 

Let bills players get their pay Sunday but have Center fumble a lot!!

Buffalo Joe Andreessen would be my guess.

Going into the game with 4 WRs is interesting... Ideally Shakir wouldn't play a snap. That's one guy we can't lose.

Amari Cooper didn't travel with team due to personal reasons. 

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Anyone know the personal issue for Cooper?

Practice quick punts on 3rd down

They aren't that far off from being back on the up. They already have a good young QB in place. The most cap space in the league next year. And most important, it's not Belichick making the picks anymore. 

 

If they get that #1 pick and turn it into multiple picks and someone like, say Travis Hunter...they would be a really quick turn around. If I were them I would send feelers to possible HC candidates like Ben Johnson to see if they would have interest in coaching up Maye.

Hopefully nothing more than he wasn’t playing and has minor stuff to take care of at home based on being traded mid season.

I'm also in this camp.  The "boatload" of picks from trading the #1 is going to be much less this year - it could actually be one of those years where the #1 pick team is 'stuck' with the pick with no one willing to pay a ransom.  Regardless - getting some extra picks and doing something with them is a crap shoot.  F them

They are going to run the ***** out of the football tomorrow. Also short passes near the LOS like the Shavers TD last week

he’s gotta unpack all the plates and cutlery, and return the router to the Verizon Store.

 

But seriously, hope all is well w/ him.

Hoping cooper is ok for the playoffs but don’t need him tomorrow
