lol, wind is just tearing into every deep ball in this game--kicked or tossed.

Make Jackson beat you with his arm. At this point in his career it's probably not going to happen. Maybe he'll grow in thy future.

I don't know what in the hell TEN was doing last week. They kept on coming with an all out pass rush and playing their LBs in man coverage. That drove the DL up the field and left no one to deal with a full speed Jackson.

That's Jackson's wet dream.

Jackson down.

Also, how the hell does the ref say nine when Jackson's number is clearly 8 and he sees it all game?

Welp, this game's a wrap.

Josh Allen and the Bills now get to face the Goliath known as the Chiefs.

I have no idea why Baltimore decided to stop running their 3-back power game after the first drive of the game. It was dominating, then a quarter later, dominated on a 4 or 7 play drive....and they just kept abandoning it.

why would you do that? It's not even about Tucker missing 2 FGs, it's about not running the ball straight into the endzone like they were poised to do, on both of those drives, at least.

wow, crazy. (not to take away from Buffalo, whom I generally expected to win this game and is my last remaining "want to win" in the playoffs, and played very well tonight in conditions and exploiting mistakes, really...but damn Baltimore. lol. you gave up ball control and points for no observable reason by the middle of the first quarter. I don't know why they did that.

Let's Go Lake Erie Bros! Don't count the Browns out yet. Chiefs are definitely the better team, but any given Sunday.

Speaking of running, I know Buffalo hasn't been great at it this season, but they attempted ONE run in the entire first half. Then they come out in the second half and mix up runs and passes 50/50 and get a TD. Like, where was that in the first half?

No surprises so far. Packers are what we thought they are. Bills didn't choke.

Two games to go tomorrow.

I'll tell you who needs to get a little tight ... anyone who has to face the Bills.

:D

Obviously if its KC it would be a tall order and I would slightly favor the Chiefs but I could still see the Bills winning.

Did anyone catch Steve Smith just now on the NFL network "analyzing" the game?

lol The guy is so high. He slobbered out in depth insights such as

"When Lamar out the game the Ravens couldn't move the ball at all"

Buffalo / Ravens game was great... until after Buffalo scored ~5 minutes or whatever into the half... then it was the worst thing I've watched in a while...

The only team I really like of the four is the Bills. Glad they won.
Was rooting for the Packers only because I want someone left that is able to beat the Saints if they win tomorrow.

eh, I think the Saints are a tough sell against the Chiefs or Buffalo. Also, they'd have to beat Brady/same team for the 3rd time in one season tomorrow.

Unfortunately, the Saints just somehow seem to keep winning no matter what. Even both last year and again this year, while Brees was out. Peyton must be a really good coach, but I have never forgiven him for Bounty Gate and the beating they gave Brett Farve in the championship game against the Vikings.

Peyton's a shitty coach. really. Just always bet on him being out-couched, and un-coaching himself in the 4th quarter. That's what he does. They'll have one TO going into the 4th quarter tomorrow, just watch. That's just one of the things.

Also, the refs will likely botch that game in Tampa's favor tomorrow (not because of Tampa...but because they just hate the Saints, lol). Just you watch. I think there are factions within the league that wear their "Bounty Gate: Never Forget!" T-Shirts beneath whatever uniforms their faction wears, during games. .... ...
