I’m pretty sure bengals can now clinch division tomorrow with a win. They’ll have a two game lead. If they lose tomorrow and next weekend (to Baltimore) then they’ll be tied with Baltimore owning the tiebreaker.  So, if they win tomorrow night, maybe Lamar sits out again. 

If he’s able I’d give him some reps…anything will help him. He’s been out a minute.

NFL is crazy, maybe rigged. Buffalo/Cincy….I don’t know who wins but I feel something really big happens in that game. I THINK the Bengals are the best team…Buffalo has looked meh, Chiefs the same. Cincy may run away with it all but I feel something will happen tomorrow that will really change peoples’ thoughts on the upcoming playoffs.

I dont think it'll matter even if Cincinnati wins out. Hard to imagine KC loses to Vegas on Saturday. They'd be the #1 seed then (If Cincy wins tomorrow)

The 7 seed will be a weak team…but playing the Ravens again might be an easy playoff matchup too

Damn…outside of retaliating when being baited, Steelers played their asses off. Najee Harris, Pickett, Watt, Heyward….and many more. 

Which is why I never get the bitching about Tomlin being a "bad coach" that they need to move on from. If he didn't have the consistency of + .500 record throughout his tenure, he could be a dark horse for Coach of the Year with what they've done with that "meh" (offensive) roster. This team was predicted, by many, to be a 4-5 win team and they still have a punchers chance of getting in and keeping his + .500 record intact.

I can get the dislike for Canada as the OC but it just seems no matter how bad their roster, or injury situations, coaches like Tomlin, Belichick & John Harbaugh coach their players up enough to do what it takes to win.

Woody Johnson needs to give Sean Payton and the Saints whatever it takes to get him in the door and give him full control of all football operations.

If that doesn't work out I say keep the current regime, I don't want to start over with another new first time head coach, but I'm rapidly losing faith in Saleh and Douglas.

Good idea, with Payton, but I'm going to assume he'd want to go somewhere that has a legit starting QB.

Probably, yes. But you still have to try and make it very difficult to say no.

Agreed

Agree.

Interesting….I hope it’s true

I have a theory. On #Steelers last drive, after the first 1st down, Kenny signaled to the sideline his radio didn’t work. And I think he proceeded to call the next play. He never looked at his wristband like does after getting a play from Canada. pic.twitter.com/EHcxVRscvw

🙏

Just turned on the game and a Bills player collapsed.  They've been giving him CPR for several minutes.

Not looking good.

I initially thought he took the helmet up under his chin, almost like an upper cut which knocked him out.  But when he stood and then fell he hit his head again.  Obviously unresponsive and not breathing.  Hopefully they got his heart beating again. 

C’mon man….pull through 

Not sure how this game is started again. 

That's a long time to be unresponsive.  Maybe they used paddles, but if not that took a long time to get him going to the hospital.

I mean….. what do you do if they don’t finish the game?

Declare a tie?

A no contest?

Declare concur the winner with the lead?

This is a popcorn event with no appetite whatsoe

I think you restart tomorrow after you are able to find out his condition. 

Next week's games could be flexed to Monday night for the Bills and the Bengals.

But....

Apparently they did de-fib.  Taken to hospital with a pulse but unresponsive.  I'm not sure that's a good sign.

Do whatever needs done….it’s the zillion dollar NFL, make it work period.

If he does pass away, game does not get restarted and really unsure how the league goes forward into the next week.

Finish the game Wednesday

Move Bengals/Ravens and Bills/Patriots to Monday

Flip playoff schedules to ensure the Bengals/Bills/Ravens/Patriots are played on Monday….and then those winners next games are the following Sunday.

That was scary.  Feel kind of gross about watching football again.  

Bills are flying back to Buffalo

I don’t like that news…..maybe it’s good news.

So what’s Skip Bayless’s deal? I know his MO has always been post controversial shit to get attention, clicks, views, etc. But this seems way over the line. There’s no way Fox Sports signed off on this? Why does he get to continue being an obnoxious dickhead without repercussion? He should lose his job.
