Audric Estime being out is a big one for the Broncos. Arguably has been their best RB this year.

He rushed for only 300 yards this year-doesn’t look like he was very involved in the offense

I was only half listening so what I heard could be completely wrong, but I heard Sal say something about practice FG kicks dying out before they got there on one of the stadium sides. I coulda heard wrong though I was half tuned out doing something else.

There was an old NFL commercial that said:

 

"The Playoffs are where moments are made..... What's next??"

 

Looking forward to seeing "What's next"!!

 

Go Bills!!!!!!!

Grable was hurt, that's why RVD was the backup most of the season. In the preseason Grable had clearly established himself as the primary swing tackle. So once he was back from injury he was back in that spot. The Bills must really like him. They could have given him a red shirt year and no one would have batted an eye, but they made it a point to activate him from IR.

 

Yep. Still surprised about the late switch as it seems uncharacteristic, but I'm definitely happy with our tackle prospects.

Grable may be a better emergency fill-in at Guard than Vandy based on what some posters have said.

Odd Carter is inactive. I think I'd rather have him over Jefferson. McD tends to have deference towards the veterans though.

VanDemark not dressing is interesting. Leaves them a bit thin at OT. I might have sat VanPran instead. 

 

Still not sure why you elevate a PS guy and then make them inactive. The game check for a playoff game isn't that much. I guess it is more than a PS check though.

Ok, this story on ESPN pregame about the birth of the Mafia, with Schefter retweeting Stevie Johnson from a decade earlier and #SchefterBreakingNews as a response... this is pretty great.

What happened to Van Demark?

He has always been behind Grable on the depth chart, except when Gable was hurt.  We have a deep O line.

From what I understand they are a RB by committee and Payton likes to go with the “hot hand” at any given time, but there isn’t any go to RB

I have confidence in Shakir fielding punts and not making a mistake. I just hope he doesn't get injured. 

The risk of guys getting hurt returning punts is overstated.  Many teams put key offensive and defensive starters back to return punts, although admittedly not as often as they used to.
