Road To The Super Bowl 2023

[Glenn]

Meanwhile the Seahawks quietly sit atop the NFC West, led by the best rookie draft picks in over a decade. Football Outsiders’ now rank the Seahawks at 6th-best to win it all for the Super Bowl.

more that I'm not a big fan of his,

Oh believe me there are a significant amount of band wagon Vikings fans that think he's down right terrible.  There is no data to back that up either.  He is, and has been, a top half QB in the league for his whole career solely based on the stats he has produced.  For some reason people just think he down right sucks.  They're delusional if they think there is a better option out there.

 

Is he the MVP caliber type of QB that is going to lead a team to a Super Bowl?  Absolutely not.  Is he the type of QB that will succeed if a solid team is built around him?  That is an emphatic YES.

[TnRiver46]

“You like that??!!!!”

Cousins produced 34 passing TDs and only 7 INTs last season in 16 games (he missed one because of covid protocol).  Those stats are exactly he same that Brett Favre produced during his impressive first season he was in Minnesota back in 2009-2010.  Which, statistically, was Favre's best season of his career.

[Darren.]

Welp, the Bills are being ... coy(?) or holding close to the vest

JA17's elbow injury status. "Day-to-day". Not sure about Sunday.

 

I'd love a little more info. Just sit him for Sunday. Period. Maybe

they're playing the Vik's gameplan. Don't give 'em much info and

pop it on 'em last minute so they don't prepare for QB#2.

 

They'll be prepared. Bills gotta step up. Mojo time.

[Darren.]

Welp. The Bills did not activate QB3 - Matt Barkley - from the

practice squad at the 4pm deadline. Meaning Josh is on the 

active roster. Will he start, or be special plays, or ... inquiring 

minds want to know!!  Go Bills.

NBC Sports is reporting Allen is starting.

 

Another interesting thing I read on Fan nation, Von Miller set up a call between OBJ and Bills GM this week.

I would take that as a sign he will be playing.  If he couldn't or wasn't playing, they would elevate Barkley in the event that Keenum got hurt.

 

Additionally, all the Vegas sports books have now moved from favoring the Bills by 3.5 to favoring them by 6.5 points.

Saw the Twitter feed of Von's twitch where he said OBJ is

a Bill. I don't know what to believe...or as they say in Bills

land, Billieve.

 

Vegas boggles my mind. They are right on so much crazy

stuff, but can hit it wrong (Bills' last 2 game spreads).

 

I'm not a gambler so I don't follow much, but I've been 

paying attention lately. They're eerily accurate. I think Josh

plays, but I'm OK if they rest him. Really. I'm OK.  ?

I can't find anything concrete that the Bills have signed OBJ.  In fact, the front runner still appears to be the team his first played with, the NY Giants.  The Giants are in a more dire need of a WR than the Bills are if you ask me.  The Packers could probably use a veteran WR too.

The Bills definitely don’t need OBJ, but if he were to sign with them for the remainder of the season I wouldn’t be disappointed that’s for sure.

Very disappointed. Some awful decisions on the field.

Stupid penalties killed us. We had the game and the 

center muffs the snap. A safety would have been so

much better and Bills could kneel after the kickoff,

assuming they wouldn't have muffed it.

 

Josh did Josh things. I feel he's been regressing and

thought it better he sat today. I was "fine" with an L

today if Josh was NOT playing. But we got the L WITH

him playing.

 

Defense is sorely missing Tre White. Are they trying

to save him for the playoffs? We have to GET to the

playoffs first. Josh needs Jordan Palmer to come to

Buff and whisper in his ear some of the magic he used

to get Josh to where he is now.

 

Edit: Cousins was solid enough and Justin Jefferson

was flat out amazing. I do believe he wouldn't have

had the same success with Tre on him, but dang, the

dude made catches he shouldn't have been allowed

 to make.

 

EDIT 2: Can the Bills PLEASE win an OT coin toss and

close out the game?? Please?

If Rodgers was on the fence about retirement, I think he has to be leaning that way now. He’s hangin’ out with some weirdo chick and eating hallucinogens for cryin’ out loud. I don’t think that football is a priority for him anymore.

[Glenn]

Rodgers is done.  With all the rookie mistakes and dropped balls this season, he's perfected the "I'm too old for this stuff" look.

 

I expect him to announce retirement within hours after the last game of the season.

And of course un retire right before next season

As long as he goes away and never comes back.

You might even argue that King Henry played a better game at QB considering his only pass was for a touchdown.

[Bluebasser86]

Rodgers looked bad last night. He can't just blame his receivers, he missed several wide open passes that any NFL starter should make. 

 

On the other side, it looked like the Titans had an extra man on the field on offense all night. That's the only reason I can think why Tannehill was throwing to wide open receivers every time they needed it.

The Buffalo game has been moved to Detroit. From what I’m hearing, lower bowl seats were going for $20! I wish it weren’t a 3 hour drive. Two Buffalo games in 4 days in Detroit! What a tease! 

[12poundbass]

Hopefully today’s game is a sign the Bills are back on track.

 

It was quite the community effort to get some of the players out of their homes and to the bus in time to make it to the airport. There are some videos floating around of neighbors helping dig out some of the players, and stories of some of the players trecking through waist deep snow to get to a cleared spot to get picked up. Now they have to go through it again to get them back home. I don’t understand why they don’t just stay in Detroit, since they play there again in four days.

 

Go Bills!

Man, what an ugly loss by the Vikings yesterday.  Dallas really exposed them, especially on the offensive line.  Cousins was under heavy assault the entire game.  Granted, Dallas has a top defense, but there was absolutely no adjustment at halftime either.

 

Quick turnaround to make up for it though.  Patriots at the Vikings on Thursday night.
