Just a reminder that there’s a double-header on Saturday and then an avalanche of tilts next Sunday.
Fallout:
-I keep coming back to this but here we go again. The Vikes, in the first three quarters of all games this year have a point differential of -97. If I had my druthers I’d prefer the Giants play these guys rather than the Niners, even though Jefferson will tear us apart.
-That Pickett’s Charge Joke has Legs: The rook qb now has two game winning drives in consecutive weeks right there in his back pocket. The once 6-8 Steelers are still only mostly dead.
-Speaking of surprises, Dobbs gets the start next week vs the Jags. Will he get a Game Sock if he plays well?
-I Sense a Theme: Maybe perhaps Brock Purdy should have been drafted earlier than the 7th round. I do snort at internet fellas that are adamant about this player or that need to be drafted to my team when front offices with much more resources at hand can’t get it right.
-The Not-Goth QB was the Right Call: Stidham’s TD 60 yard pass to Davante was the first toss on a scramble play that the Raiders have had all year.
To The Game!
Bills/Bengals:
-Gamblor Alert-Cincy is 12-3 against the spread this year.
-A Little More Knox Perhaps: Allen has a fancy-schmancy 102.9 passer rating when throwing the ball Dawson’s Way.
-Someone that Allen isn’t meshing with is Gabe Davis-he was expected to take a big step forward this year but is being held back by a rancid 55% catch rate.
-Though Cook and Singletary have been unreliable (for those folks that play fantasy, that is) the Bills are the only team to run for 100+ yards in each game this year.
-Despite not having many known guys (outside of Ohio, I guess) the Cincy D is 9th in points allowed (20.4) and 7th in rushing yards allowed. (106.4)
-Keep your eye on Trenton Irwin-he could easily have had the TD hat-trick last week. Boyd’s finger is almost a non-issue.
It’s all yours.
I just turned in the game. Is this an alternate universe where players are treated as humans?
Kudos to McDermott and Taylor agreeing to say “Fuck Off!” to the refs/NFL saying, “we’ll give you 5 minutes to get your shit together”.
Also, the fans applauding both teams. No one wants to continue.
On a lighter note:
For the second year in a row, Rutgers has knocked off unbeaten #1 purdue
Get fucked boilermakers. The 76 undefeated hurrying hoosiers is one of the last things my dad has in this world. I won’t want to see that record tarnished before he passes
Roger Goodell right now, referring to the players:
You son of a bitch, I don’t feel like laughing.
That’s the right thing. Pause this game for now. postpone until tomorrow, aren’t shit happening tomorrow in Cincy or Buffalo tomorrow
Whoa, you can’t discount a cat being stuck up a tree tomorrow morning.
It’s also a SAFETY issue. They can’t play with their minds where they are.
Just heard the first “puts things in perspective” comment
Good. Nobody’s in a position to play right now.
The coaches called it off. They’re not going to play.
It certainly looked like Buffalo’s coach had no intention of coming back out.
Watch the NFL fine them for being decent human beings.
Both teams forfeit at the same time. Call it a draw.
And my team has the lead!!!!!!
If this game somehow gets canceled/drawn and Kansas City gets a free pass to the bye and home field advantage, I will…hmm, probably not a good time to make a joke about what my reaction would be.
If they restart the game I’ll be turning it off.
You can hear the announcers, in the studio and on the field, are trying not to cry.
I’ve already turned it off. They said they’re giving them 5 minutes to warm up. Who fucking cares about the game now.
Josh Allen looks like he’s in shock.
He is. There’s no kinda there
I just watched the play where he got injured. Looked like an untouched soccer player the way he collapsed.
Had a Hank Gathers feel.
Didnt know whether to plus this or minus this
I remember the video when he collapsed. Just terrifying.
Was soooo bad. I was quite young and it scarred.
“frantically administering CPR”
Oh that’s reassuring.
Not a medical professional, but from what I understand about CPR, the guy now probably has at least several cracked/broken ribs, etc. I just hope that’s all he’ll have to deal with.
When all else fails… Show commercials. How sickening is that?
Jesus Christ, they cannot restart the game.
You really don’t understand the NFL apparently.
Happy to be wrong! And used to it!
Oh, they will.
You’re probably right. Unfortunately.
Wife said money talks.
Don’t pull an Owen Hart and continue like WWF did. If Buffalo and Cincinnati meet in the playoffs, play it at a neutral site.
yeah. postpone until tomorrow
In better news, MATRON SAINT!
Just had to explain to my wife this…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc65NC44dSk
Call it a tie, send everyone home please.
I can hear Goodell scoff from here.
This guy may be dead. Jesus Christ. He went down all stiff legged, like an electrical shock. Horrible.
Nice job with the ads, ESPN. Because the one thing people want to see more of when there’s a player literally dying on the field is MORE FOOTBALL HIGHLIGHTS!
The hit didn’t look that bad.
No, nothing unusual about it at all.
Christ, CPR. If he dies on the field and they continue the game I’m done with football.
The NFL would never, not in a million years, acknowledge that he died on the field. They will say it was in the ambulance or at the hospital.
Oh shit, they’ve been doing CPR.
This is horrible.
For over five minutes which isn’t good at all
Giving CPR?
CPR? Fuck sakes…
Reminds me of that soccer player
First thing that came to mind.
Christian Eriksonn
Chuck Hughes was the lions player who died
I was thinking of the same thing.
…I’m legitimately frightened for him.
So me and pops are watching the end of purdue/rutgers, (my dad is bitching at the refs)
What happened?
Nothing obvious. He made a tackle, stood back up, and immediately collapsed again. Since then it’s been an escalating medical response.
Hamlin got hurt making a tackle. Been down at least 10 minutes. CPR being administered, ambulance on the field.
Took a hit in the upper chest-ish, got up for a second, then fell back over.
Hope that this isn’t another case of a hit to the chest causing heart issues, but given the mention of CPR…we’ll have to wait and see.
“Looks like a sore back”
-Dolphins’ medical staff
Oh that’s good.
God damn you for making me laugh like this
I hate myself more than usual.
…this is very bad.
Good, that does not look.
He’s just having a fainting session.
Someone get him those smelling salts.
Well that don’t look good
That’s no good.
He was up and then out. Adrenaline?
Aikman: “He’s another guy whose really good with a ball in his hands.”
Every Guy: “You mean like all of us?”
Speak for yourself
in Aikman’s defense, he doesn’t remind he used to throw a ball them for a living.
Evening Folks
Yeah, wait that not Chase?!
This is what sports gaming is? Being disappointed my team scored because it’s the wrong guy?!
#ItGetsBetter*
*this is a complete lie
This is why I was happy when Commiefornia didn’t pass either Gamblor bill
It’s early still. Hang in there.
“It was nice knowing you.” [sighs]
-Sweet Summer Youth
Wasnt he Aquaman?
Yes, in that movie where Aquaman was a tiny pussy.
Burrow is dialed in.
Trying to recall the last time the AFC had three QBs this good. Maybe briefly with Elway, Kelly, Marino?
But I think all 3 of Mahomes, Burrow, Brokeback are better
really it’s a quartet seems you forgot about WHITE MAC
His Legend speaks for itself (speaking of cracking the whip)
88 be all liek DEEEEEZ NUTS!!
If you didn’t want to be disappointed, you shouldn’t have went to Utah.
Not just the school, but the state.

No shit. And I’ve lived here for 44 years.
/Probably moving to New York soon
Where in Nuevo York?
Probably Westchester County someplace. The lady wants to move back and I don’t want to lose her.
EH, you are from Utah. NY winters are just more humid.
Caucasian Plains area? I went to Purchase for my undergrad and I have much better memories than Senorita Weaselo, who went after I got out of there.
Sounds expensive, what with the four wives and all.
Evening all.
I just want to remind you all that I only know about this film from you folks talking about it.
I hate to sound disparaging, but that one “older user” who’s name escapes me.
Brick?
/ducks
This does look like something Brick would wear while taking apart ‘40 Ford V8 engine.
And flying a drone that is filming it all.
I want to say the name was tab Rosa?
Does that ring a bell for anyone?
oh yeah, we think he has passed into Valhalla
A Google search shows Viva La Tabula Raza.
I wished I had more one on one conversations, if he truly has passed
I miss him.
He was a good man. RTD and I emailed him and no response.
I know you did, you guys rock. He was having health problems, but I’m thinking it was a sudden event, like a heart attack or something. Sucks, early 60’s is too damn young.
What do you mean start dressing like this? So much support.
Honestly, I’d wear the shit out of that!
Depends on the beach. I mean that seriously.
Edit, not the boots.
Open Carry – check
Loin cloth with bandier – check
Knee length boots – check
Is the body hair optional? Asking for a friend.
I would hope so because I have very little.
What do you think I’m wearing?
So . . . the wildly overrated James Franklin getting gifted a Rose Bowl victory after Cam Rising got hurt is bad enough, but what is with the fugly “S” hat he chose to wear — Is that for Sandusky?
Guessing “State”. “State of denial” not ruled out
Given the weather in Pasadena, I suppose we should have all expected Penn State to be dangerous in the showers
Wife and son in Bengals jerseys.
aren’t you a bird family?
I did a thing:
I have Burrow 2 tds, Cinci+3.5, Over.
Typical Canadian Arrogance Update: The swarthy Slow-vakians are getting destroyed by the heroic Canuckian boys 3-2. They never had a chance.
I did at least finish a book today, Take THAT, Lea Michelle!
I finished The Devil and the Dark Water, by the same author of The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. It was slightly better than average.
Do we really have to get back to work tomorrow?
[Waa Chaa. Waa Chaa]
That’s the sound of a whip, in case you were wondering.
I got up and went to work today. Then I got to the office and realized I didn’t have work today. So then I did some work.
Worst. Monday. Ever.
you have a freezer vodka stash in office, at least?
Of course.
That’s hilarious
I need a plan to hide.
You don’t HAVE to do anything, but most people seem to like the part about getting paid
Where do we complain about SNF being Lions-Packers, here? Good.
Frozen Tundra. You had to know it would happen. The Shield is determined to get Rodgers another ring. Fuck him, fuck them. Fuck. Go Liouns!
God knows they can rely on Dallas to let them through at least one round of the play-offs.
/eats the lead paint off my windows
I only watch if Seattle loses (making it “win and in” for DET as well). Collinsworth is gonna have a sore throat for weeks after that game, at least.
The Mighty Canadians are playing Slow-vakia. Seems kinda obvious how this will end.
quickly?
That’s what she said. But I was just nervous!
