COB

Bad fumble with a minute left in the half by Quad Stringer. Eagles going for the jugular.

Rudy got his arm hurt, 4th stringer in and getting it done.

These announcers are acting like Purdy’s out. I see no evidence of that.

Candace called our uniform tiger stripes “garish.” I’m starting a go fund me that will be used to arm a militia (ok a kill squad. Eh, ok I’ll use the money to fund a campaign for writing some fairly stern letters of complaint) that will provide a rebuttal to this provocative, unforgivable, insult. If Candace thinks she can just jump into the Washington Post sports page and commit cultural genocide, well, I’m just saying that this isn’t fair. She has a gazillion readers and I just have like 7 in here. Nonetheless, here goes. Our tiger stripes are not garish. Checkmate, Candace.

I got you. I took a picture of myself after the Bills game to make sure I could wear the exact same stuff for the Chiefs game. It’s covered.

I hear you. Some of the flat Midwest in the middle of winter can be soul crushing.

Mahomes thinking: “I barely care about this game, probably going to go about 60%. What? Burrowhead? Shit’s on now motherfucker!”

Safe travels, enjoy this great experience with your son.

I don’t. I didn’t like what I read but there has to be a lot we aren’t reading. There were no charges filed and prosecutors don’t hesitate when it involves an underage teen girl. We don’t hear everything the police and the prosecutor hears. There absolutely is more to this story than we are hearing. It’s a black mark on this kid’s reputation and that’s all it should be. He could end up playing elsewhere next year and I still won’t hold this story against him.

I kind of want them all back. Most difficult, in my opinion, will be Pratt. He’s damn good and his agent will get a ton of calls with what I think will be top five for his position type money. Could be tough. Burrow - if he’ll take a team friendly deal that allows us to keep good players around him, then guarantee it all. I’d give him ten years guaranteed. If it’s that versus higher cap hit but not guaranteed, go with the lower cap hit and guarantee it. In no way is he a risk like Watson was.

3 of the 4 teams left in the playoffs have a QB still on his price-controlled rookie deal. Allows you to build a pretty talented team around your guy. KC is the exception. They have still built pretty talented team around their guy.

Just watched it and loved it. Possibly the best part, the title he put on the vid: “The Refund Edition.”

As someone already noted, but I will second, it’ll be a good day when Eli Apple finishes his tenure here.

I’ll take it, ascending to villainhood. Means we’re good, no longer lovable upstarts. I must cite the following from the above article: “Since the Bengals toilet-swirled the Bills on Sunday, their victory lap looks like the start of something much, much bigger.”

You didn’t mention Spain once. Are you well?

I’m rewatching the Bills game right now. It’s almost better the second time around.

A huge part of their offense is Mahomes buying time and making freak throws. If he can’t move, game changer. But if one coach could reconfigure the offense in a week to accommodate a diminished Patrick Mahomes, it’s Andy Reid.

Peter King, in spite of what he says here, will never respect us. “Cute upstart”? I can’t recall him ever denigrating another team with backhanded praise like that. He’s got a few miles on him, older guys tend to default to the thoughts and opinions they’ve had their whole lives. Some of the other teams are a little more sophisticated in dealing with national media types, bordering on manipulation. Maybe we’re evolving, developing skills like that now that Mike has truly stepped back.

My new friend Brian Baldinger!

What an amazing game. I don’t know if anyone remembers, but the first and second game of the year, the Bills were on prime time tv both games and dominated the Rams and the Titans. I recall watching those games and thinking the AFC is fucked, Josh Allen is too good, and the Bills are going to win the Super Bowl. (Also, we lost both our first two games). Now! I’m starting to think Josh Allen is a bit of a choker. The Appendix games didn’t mean anything. And the NFL media collective Mahomes/Allen worship is revealed for what it is - marketing. Also, what we saw in Demar’s game in Cincy was reality. We were on our way to winning that game.

Ha! Love that answer from Joe. Welcome young ArmyBengal, you may have to explain TikTok and such to the old geezers around here (not me, totally up to speed).

Watching the 49ers mascot and Prescott try to play quarterback makes me appreciate Burrow all the more.

Erin Andrews still getting it done on Fox. Just show her for an hour or two.

Ha ha! Dak’s ad for his AI Robot bed has inspired me.

Man, neither of these NFC teams are even in the same league as Philly. Would be amazing to see one of them upset the eagles next week, we can dream anyway.
