Sometimes when you post something I am not sure if you are saying what you mean… or the opposite… I know you are known to do both.  I just sat here for a legit 3 minutes wondering what your smiley face at the end meant

Bengals are rolling against the Ravens. Up 31 to 14 at the half.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Burrow on track to throw for 600 yards lol. Ravens injuries just caught up with them.

Bills are the better team. Jones is playing like a rookie today. Pats still have to go down to Miami where they always struggle.

Thank you!!! Bills are that type of team that has a better ceiling than the Patriots because of their QB, IF he gets on a roll. I do believe they were in a funk that the Patriots caught them in the weather. If the weather is good, Allen’s arm is slinging, that’s what I’m noticing.

 

Both our game vs the Bills and Patriots game were played in weather not suitable for the Bills.

This time I’m serious. A switch flipped after the Bills nearly beat the Bucs on the road at full strength, lost in OT. It’s like their belief is back, that’s what scares me if we play them.

I would take our team against either of them in January in their place.  Buffalo at Lucas would be serious trouble.

[JediXMan]

Pats only down 10 very much still in it.

Id rather play Bills on the road because Allen slings it well in good weather.

This is true… you never know what version of them you are going to get and that’s pretty nerve wrecking. Thankfully it seems our belief has bumped up as well  May the best team win!

We've played well against the Bills over the past year.  Last year's playoff game was winnable, had Frank called things a little differently.

 

I would still probably rather play the Bills than the Bengals, but the reality is as tightly compacted as the AFC is, no game will be easy.

We have the tiebreak over the Pats too which makes this ok.

Joe Burrow has played mediocre against good secondaries and if Mixon can’t get going, he has issues. Allen on the other hand has truly never relied on a running game that we do well shutting down typically.

Yeah I was just thinking pats may not even make playoffs if they lose today and in Miami.

[chad72]

Just watch Allen throw in this game guys, against a stellar secondary and tell me he’s not confident now.

When Burrow hits his prime, I think he'll be an MVP candidate.  You would definitely rather get the Bengals now than in a year or two.  If the Bengals put it all together sooner, in the next month, I don't have a good feeling about it.  

[DEColtsLover36]

@NFLfan Nice job Vikings defense!

[chad72]

Josh Allen is playing like Mahomes right now but Bills making mistakes 

[Happy2BeHere]

Bills came to play. Pats really struggling against that bill’s defense 

[holeymoley99]

Jake Fromm   16 pass yard on 18 attempts...time for him to get the hook...

Pats D can’t contain Bills offense either. Should be up 24-7 or 27-7 by now if not for penalties and mistakes.

Pats are still in this, only down 20-7. They score here, it is anyone's game at 20-14.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Texans defense has improved a ton. I can’t believe that Texans Chargers score.

Jones looks like a rookie. BB has been able to hide him with good defense and running game but if you get the lead can’t hide Jones.

You may be right about Burrow future wise but if we play them in the playoffs this year I think we will beat them.

True we’ll see how it goes. They can’t win on Mac Jones’ arm, IMO.  He has to dink and dunk

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Wow Judon is dirty.

I was going to write that. He is 5 of 16 for 18 yards. To think that I wanted the Vikes to draft him. Lol. That would have been terrible. 

 

The other guy I wanted, David Mills, is looking pretty good.

That is why Wentz got in his face, he is dirty.

[NFLfan]

@RollerColt I'd like to trade Cousins for Joe Burrow. I will throw in a first rounder, maybe two. 

 

Will you do the deal?

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

If it comes down to 4th down I would go for it if I was BB.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Wow Texans . Thank you

At this point Giants would be better off with Flo from Progressive......just saying

Got it. I called it.

The other thing is Bengals D doesn’t have same talent as Bills D for turnovers, hence Bengals are a better matchup

If the Texans win that would be hilarious. Pats just scored, 20-14 now.

They had to, learning from our game when they kicked the FG down 7-20.

My friend is a long time Giants season-ticket holder. He has attended 4 Super Bowls including the one in which they beat the formerly undefeated Patriots. This must be killing him. I won't bother asking him what he thinks of Fromm.

I am glad they did, I was shocked they did against us.

Yes, they were down 7-20 against us too. They were on the toad and Mac Jones had not been playing well up to that point 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Things are going mighty well for the colts today. I can’t wait to clinch a playoff spot next week. That is a amazing feat after bring 1-4.
