Bills were missing several in their secondary. Should have Tre White back very soon. Unfortunately, Hyde's gone for the year.
All good. Lol I keep saying there's a lotta football left for both teams. Some o' y'all are ready to just GIVE the title to the Bills already...

Try logging in again when you get a chance. Apparently one of the tweaks that Hammer made that he thought was minor, turned out to be not so minor.

After not being able to log in at all yesterday I finally can. Whatever little tweak was made goofed things up. But it's fixed now. Thanks for the help.

Oh, no way lol. Most teams have stinkers along the way and injuries will of course continue to play a huge part. Bills are the favorite today, but for how long? Letting the Chiefs get that FG before the half was potentially soul-stealing, glad they finished the game well.

Yeah very true but it’s really his first bad overall game. Stefanski was outcoached, the players were awful, desire wasn’t there. One of those all-around bad games.

It’s just some things I don’t understand like the 2 min drill and he wastes 20 seconds then calls a TO. Why do you go for the 2 pt conversion on the 1st TD when you need 2 scores. He does it every time. Anyways, they never convert 2 pt conversions, might need a new gameplan. Yes Brissett was terrible, his protection wasn’t good today either. Running game was not great either.

All bad today
First, I'll address some of your specific comments. I mean, Belichick is kind of good and been doing this 25 or so years. After 39 games he was 18-21 (Stefanski is 21-18) and I have no doubt those complaining about Stefanski wanted Belichick fired when he was here.

If it's the drill I'm thinking of I think he was also trying to make sure Pats didn't get the ball back and if they did it was not with a lot of time (which happened).

Why the 2 when he did? Not completely sold on that but I'm sure the logic is at some point you need the 2 so if you get it then or miss it then how is that different than getting it later or missing it? In addition, if you watch the play again you will see Njoku wide open for an easy conversion.

Curious if you heard Jason Lloyd on 92.3 this morning? Sure, he is not end all be all but a reporter/writer I like as his goal is not to just rile up the masses like most.

Said the players really like Stefanski and the fact he takes the heat with the public even though they know they messed up. Among other comments he pointed to a play in the Atlanta game when we got the hold after JB rolled out near goal line. JB was supposed to stay in the pocket. Coach said it was on him and took the heat.

Also addressed those fans who want Payton. Said would be interesting but maybe see what KS does with his franchise QB first? Mentioned the fact Payton had a middling team in his last season with no Brees then quit when he had no QB.

To be fair, that puts Stefanski on a loooooooong list of coaches who have been outcoached by Belicik.

Plus, for young and/or backup QB's...Belicik is the Devil. He eats them with some Fava beans and a nice Chianti. lol
In addition, while you might not be aware, Blame the Coach Guy Browns fans nearly all wanted Belichick gone when he was here.

They do but the wife wanted cheese sticks from there.....so I just went with yes when she asked me if I wanted a pepperoni pizza. Makes it easier.....don't act like you don't know. You're married.

Prefer small mom and pops but when it comes to the chains.....I prefer Papa to Dominos or Pizza Hut.
Will say I love the parm bites from Dominoes. Often get pizza from accross the street then go get the parms.

Dogs are awesome...
Heck yeah. I was the last holdout for a dog for the kids during Covid. Not because I don't love them but knew I'd be the one taking care if it despite the "no you wont...we promise, etc"

I was right, of course. For the first week or so I could threaten and say she's going back if they don't help out more and it worked. after a few weeks if I said it they could just say, "no you wont" and they were right. I'd give The Boy back before the pooch.

Anyone else find if funny that Dodgers manager Dave Roberts guaranteed L.A. would win the W.S. this season?

Silly fella. Guarantees only worked for the Showtime Lakers.

All I have are the Buckeyes and the Red Wings lol. It's a matter of time before the Wings come crashing down though.

Long story short I'm jelly
I'd probably be OK if I just ignored the Browns (despite the Tribe loss last night which I kind of expected). OSU, Tribe and Cavs wouldn't make me hate sports.

I’m on a sports heater. Experience has taught me a few kicks in the balls are coming my way. So that’s why you enjoy the fuck out of good fortune.
No idea what to expect tonight but a kick in the nuts is certainly a possibility in this city.

Browns are just exceptionally painful this year.

I hate to say it but thank God Baker is sucking. That would sting if he wasnt.

I was hoping for a 6-5 record after 11 games. That ain't happening now. The D. What's wrong, is it the DC? I didn't think they'd be this bad.

Even though football is by far my favorite sport (and baseball the least) I have found it far tougher to watch a Browns game than the Tribe this season.

Stefanski needed to make the Tribe must watch for his players this postseason. I don't know what happens tonight but hard not to love this group (Browns the complete opposite other than Chubb).

DC and likely players buying press clippings and how they'd need to save the O.

Will say somehow beat Bmore and everything could look at least OK (sure, not sure how we can do that).....and I'm sure there are a number of Bmore fans who want their DC and maybe even Harbaugh gone.

Well if that's the case the D has done a terrible job of stepping up this season.

Beating the Ravens seems like asking a lot. It would be nice if the Browns can put everything together next weekend and have a good game.
