maybe the Rules Committee can do something about that fumble rule, the implications can be huge.
@2dueces I assume you were rooting for the Browns. Either way, I will be picking the Bills over the Chiefs in DoubleD's contest. If money was on the line, maybe not. But maybe yes. Mahomes will pass concussion protocol 100%. NFL wouldn't let that happen.
Chad Henne made the plays in the end . Give him credit.

Yes, it changed the game. But to the Browns credit, they stayed in it. And anyone who says the Browns weren't still in it when Mahomes was in the game wasn't paying attention. Mayfield has really up'd his game the latter half of this season. The Browns became a team, for me, that was fun to watch. I love their running game and I enjoy Mayfield's game. If I was a Browns fan I'd be feeling good about the future.

Stefon Diggs.......-1%
i said without SD the Bills were the Ravens, and dueces you bolstered my point. yes, they made the playoffs last year with brown and beasley. then they got bounced. not good enough to go any further. would never be good enough to go any further. so they made a move to acquire a legit wideout, which i give the organization all the credit in the world for doing. all of a sudden, a synergistic effect is created between their young, talented signal caller and a true #1 receiver, and the next thing you know, the Bills are taking off.
but without Diggs, they Bills are not playing next weekend. and without a receiving corps even remotely worth its salt, Lamar isn't playing next week either. provide LJ similar assistance and then let's reassess.
and the next time rose petals are distributed on the ground for Josh Allen to walk on, at least draw Stefon Diggs' face on one of them

The Ravens can win a lot of games with Lamar's running game, just not playoff games.
Thank you @Darin for echoing what I’ve said since draft day 2018. But they sure hyped him up all week. Lamar, Lamar,Lamar and oh yeah some kid named Allen.
The Ravens will beat bad teams. They’ll win a few against good teams. They’ll win 10 games a year. Remember how hyped they were when they won 6 in a row to get into the playoffs? Cowboys, Jacksonville, Cincinnati and the Giants.
Buffalo wasn’t going to pound the ball into the middle of the line 3 times and punt like Tennessee.
There is no doubt in my mind Lamar Jackson is the best athlete on the field no matter who they play. But that doesn’t make him a great QB. I’m using his own words. “Not bad for a running back.”
Surely you know he was being facetious with that comment. Then again maybe not.
Out of curiosity how many Super Bowls did Jim Kelley win? Surely Lamar will equal or exceed him. They are not easy to come by are they? As great as Bree's is he has exactly one. As great as Rodgers is he has exactly one.

If Lamar was going to win any Super Bowls he should have done it by now.

keep playing with fire and you'll eventually get burned. sheer stupidity imo

You're a riot. He would have done it by now? . That's rich. He's 24 and you have him already done. It's a long race. Give Lamar a Hill and Kelce and get back to me. The number one TE in history and Hill is a top 3 WR in the league. KC has an embarrassment of riches on offense and a coach who knows how to use them. Their D ain't shabby either. Excellent team. They are better then the Ravens this year and last. Only one team can win a year.

No, when the QB has 14 yards of green grass in front of him, with no one there, it’s the defense that screwed up. He might get seven or eight yards, but 14 is unforgivable at that point in the game.

I don't know if @2dueces has really gone into this much, but for me the elephant in the room regarding Josh Allen is as follows.... He did something that almost none of these guys do, he re-made his mechanics and accuracy. And as far as I know, the way he did it would not have been possible without the pandemic. Iirc, Jordan Palmer spent a lot of the time he would have spent travelling to different QB camps instead being able to work with Allen.

No worries buddy. All’s good here. I’ve heard all the knocks on JA and still believed he was the man. At the Super Bowl last year he had dinner with Tony Romo and Fitzmagic. He picked their brain for 3 hours. Because of that dinner he got with Jordan Palmer and completely redesigned his throwing motion. He said it felt awkward and awful but he continued. It was his front foot pointing to the target and rotating the hip, not just using his cannon arm. His throws sailed high last year. His completion % went from 56% to 69%. The game slowed down for him. He began understanding what he was seeing pre snap. What tells management how smart and how quick you can make decisions is a wonderlic score of 37. It’s very telling. 32bd player in the 2018 draft score 13. Vince Young has the dubious distinction of the lowest score ever at 6. My cat could score 10 scratching in her litter box.

The league looks like it’s in good hands for a long, long time. Nice to see the changing of the guard. Not quite yet but soon enough.

Bill, stick to coins if you can't figure out how ridiculous that statement sounds. that wasn't planned, it was improvised. why?? because the Browns had the Chiefs covered, nowhere for Henne to throw the ball, and the pass rushers were bearing down on him. another second and he'd have been on the ground. it was his good fortune that the pocket had shifted to his right, the same side of the field the Chiefs were trying to throw on that play. there are only 11 players on the field and they can't be everywhere. listen to Mark and give Henne some credit, he made a split second decision, looked to his left and took off. his speed got him to the critical point just ahead of the defender.
I'm a Browns fan and the play really aggravated me, but sometimes the other player(s) and the other Team is just better or does the right thing. that doesn't equate to the defense doing the wrong thing.
You have to account for Hill and Kelce and a 74 year old QB running for 14 yards you have to take your chances with. Besides, that wasn't a first down. They still forced a 4th down play.
Even with Mahomes out KC and Henne knew where their bread is buttered. He found Hill and Kelce on the big plays

It was telling when they sent in Jamis Winston to throw the deep ball. It seemed like Brees could no longer handle it. Perhaps the broken ribs had something to do with that.

I’m rooting for a Bucs vs Bills Super Bowl. I highly doubt both underdogs will sneak in though. Just like I kinda figured at least one road team would win over the weekend.
Green Bay is definitely the favorite, but they did lose badly to the Bucks during the regular season in Tampa. Rogers had his worst game of the season.

That angle can often work against a team when they're an underdog. A revenge game like that for the favorite usually results in a win.
I had forgotten about that game, and now i like the Packers to win even more.

Also NO turned the ball over where Rodgers rarely throws picks. TB12 will have his work cut out for him.

Yes, and there are also instances where the underdog team has a "better team's number." When I was in high school, a rival team was the best in the Conference which was divided into the east and west divisions. They had a player who could gone to college on an athletic scholarship if he had been given the opportunity. He was African-American.
The guy could hit jump shots from close to mid court and was also able to dunk the ball, which was a big deal for a high school player in the mid 1960s. Unfortunately he could only do it during warm-ups because they had that silly run against dunking at that time. They beat everybody in the conference except us. We beat them in the regular season game and the conference championship.
In the State-wide tournament, that player was a stand-out and got a lot of press from the influential upstate newspaper. He carried them to the semi-finals while we got knocked off in the first round.
I think that Green Bay will win. I am just hoping it won't be a blow-out given the weather and other factors.

I don't closely follow the rosters of NFL teams like i used to, probably because I no longer gamble on the games. But traditionally, the Packers always anticipated some playoff games in nasty weather at Lambeau, and tried to build a team around that. So i would presume they still at least aspire to do that if possible.
So if the weather is nasty in Green Bay on Sunday, minimizing the passing game, Tom Brady being perhaps the most immobile QB in the league, might become a plunked chicken out there. And that cold weather sure doesn't help 43 year old bones.
that has a lot to do with why Teams from the AFC/NFC North will traditionally tend to have solid running games. it's surprising to me that the Buffalo Bills are so lacking there, I'm sure they'll be looking for an RB to compliment Allen.
He had a severe rib/side injury. Missed more than half the game. He shouldn't have suited up. Any Packer player with that severe an injury would've watched the game from home.
NOT one, nor even two OL at a time has ever dominated a healthy Donald.
You were right in your choice of words. Donald is the most dominating NFL defensive player in the last four years.

The Bills built a quick small team both on offense and defense. Zack Moss (knee) was their bigger back. So far this design smaller more athletic hasn’t bit them in the butt yet.

Even with Mahomes out KC and Henne knew where their bread is buttered. He found Hill and Kelce on the big plays

Another interception for Brees. That might be the nail in the coffin for the Saints.

Brees is making the right decision if he retires. He's got nothing left to prove and very little left in the tank
Great career

It was telling when they sent in Jamis Winston to throw the deep ball. It seemed like Brees could no longer handle it. Perhaps the broken ribs had something to do with that.
Congrats! I'm pretty happy myself. The Championship games ironically are rematches of week 6. Grey beards vs no beards

michael thomas without a single catch. almost incomprehensible
gonna miss drew immensely, but it's time
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
I thought Brady was supposed to break down, when is that happening again?
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
he is still hurt , why did he come back ? He could have rested 2 more weeks .
they rushed him back or he rushed himself back.
I like to think he came back early after seeing a broadcast of a game with taysum heel . He knew we were collectively sick of seeing the hack
I think about 10 years ago

I’m rooting for a Bucs vs Bills Super Bowl. I highly doubt both underdogs will sneak in though. Just like I kinda figured at least one road team would win over the weekend.
Devin White is a BEAST btw
Brady wins again...amazing.
Too bad that the upcoming game with Green Bay, this season's Super Bowl winner, will finish Tom's season.
I think Green Bay will win as well
Green Bay is definitely the favorite, but they did lose badly to the Bucks during the regular season in Tampa. Rogers had his worst game of the season.
rodgers blows when does he win the big game for his team?
He will get his mvp and go golfing with it
That angle can often work against a team when they're an underdog. A revenge game like that for the favorite usually results in a win.
I had forgotten about that game, and now i like the Packers to win even more.
Also NO turned the ball over where Rodgers rarely throws picks. TB12 will have his work cut out for him.
Yes, and there are also instances where the underdog team has a "better team's number." When I was in high school, a rival team was the best in the Conference which was divided into the east and west divisions. They had a player who could gone to college on an athletic scholarship if he had been given the opportunity. He was African-American.
The guy could hit jump shots from close to mid court and was also able to dunk the ball, which was a big deal for a high school player in the mid 1960s. Unfortunately he could only do it during warm-ups because they had that silly run against dunking at that time. They beat everybody in the conference except us. We beat them in the regular season game and the conference championship.
In the State-wide tournament, that player was a stand-out and got a lot of press from the influential upstate newspaper. He carried them to the semi-finals while we got knocked off in the first round.
I think that Green Bay will win. I am just hoping it won't be a blow-out given the weather and other factors.
I don't closely follow the rosters of NFL teams like i used to, probably because I no longer gamble on the games. But traditionally, the Packers always anticipated some playoff games in nasty weather at Lambeau, and tried to build a team around that. So i would presume they still at least aspire to do that if possible.
So if the weather is nasty in Green Bay on Sunday, minimizing the passing game, Tom Brady being perhaps the most immobile QB in the league, might become a plunked chicken out there. And that cold weather sure doesn't help 43 year old bones.
and tried to build a team around that.
that has a lot to do with why Teams from the AFC/NFC North will traditionally tend to have solid running games. it's surprising to me that the Buffalo Bills are so lacking there, I'm sure they'll be looking for an RB to compliment Allen.
That Packers OL dominated him.
Wrong. His injury stopped him.
He had a severe rib/side injury. Missed more than half the game. He shouldn't have suited up. Any Packer player with that severe an injury would've watched the game from home.
NOT one, nor even two OL at a time has ever dominated a healthy Donald.
You were right in your choice of words. Donald is the most dominating NFL defensive player in the last four years.
No Packer OL can match up to Donald.
The Bills built a quick small team both on offense and defense. Zack Moss (knee) was their bigger back. So far this design smaller more athletic hasn’t bit them in the butt yet.
