Talk about a comeback. Bills looked dead in the water in the first half, but you have to give credit to their coaching staff because they have a knack for making killer second-half adjustments. And of course, having Josh Allen doesn't hurt.  :whistle:

That makes the whole Miami situation look even worse. There were bodies dropping all over in last week's game, including their own QB, but they want to pretend that it never happened. Then this past Thursday, he gets another hit to the head.

The Texans actually won a game yesterday.
The Jaguars gave it to them with a blatant and stupid four quarter roughing the passer penalty, but, hey, I'll take it!

The Steelers are remarkably awful. This will be Tomlin's first losing season, most likely.

He's been there since 2007 according to the graphics shown yesterday.

Most in Pittsburgh believe Tomlin's job is not in jeopardy, no matter how poorly the team plays. The owners - the Rooney family - tend to stick with their head coaches a long time.

Honestly felt sorry for him in his post-game media conference.

He said that he knew what they (Bills) were capable of, in their trouncing of the Titans in week 2 (41-7) and the RAMS in week 1 (31-10)..and when a reporter asked what areas of the defense needed to be addressed???

LOL!  He said, "We just got our asses kicked!"

With the score already 10-3 BILLS, we needed to give up trying to get the BILLS/STEELERS game on TV
and head to the Anchor Bar in Frederick, Maryland, which is a franchise location for the Anchor Bar in Buffalo
which is the birthplace of "Chicken Wings".  Huge building with about 40 screens, etc..

Damned traffic...by the time we got to the bar to order 20 minutes had passed and the BILLS were now ahead 31-3...BEFORE HALFTIME!!

I asked the 3 guys sitting on their stools WTF happened...they said "We don't know but they keep playing that BLEEPING song every 5 MINUTES!!"

Watching some of the RAVENS vs GIANTS game on CBS.

Currently 7-7 late in the 2nd quarter. 

Some observations:

1) The Giants are on fire! 

However, do they look masterful because as the CBS pregame panel suggested...the Ravens 'Super' defense is no longer "Super"?

2) I would NOT pay Lamar Jackson what he wants and would let him go "free agency"

The statistics show that he's #1 in QB rushing yards and #3 in passing yds.  With his penchant to go "Sandlot" too often, he's going to get hurt, ala RGIII...and you'll be paying that contract for nothing in return.

... watching the Patriots vs Browns game ... mostly boring.  The 3rd string Patriots quarterback, Bailey Zappe, is holding his own on the field.  As long as the Patriots keep playing terrible teams, they may finish the season above .500.

Meanwhile in college football... two of the remaining undefeated teams in the top conferences are, as everyone predicted /sarc... Tennessee and Syracuse.

Alabama, I'm sure, will weasel its way back into the CFP somehow.

Survived a wave of injuries, knocked off the Chiefs... they're legit contenders. It's hard to believe, I mean, being from Buffalo, where you're always expecting the other shoe to drop and SOMETHING to go wrong.

But Josh Allen... that guy's a unicorn. And he's perfect for Buffalo. And the team they've built here... it's deep. Their second team is just as much of a threat as their first team. You have to think that the system is playing a role: look at what the Giants are doing when Brian Daboll brought it there, with arguably a LOT less talent. McDermott has built something special.

Dare I say it, but if there is any year where the Bills are finally going to win that Lombardi, this is their best shot.

They've got LSU on the road (which is to their advantage).  Then Ole Miss at Oxford.  And finally Auburn at home.  If they beat LSU and Ole Miss, they go to the SEC Championship game to likely face the winner of Georgia-Tennessee.  Win that (and the Auburn game), and they are likely back in.

Georgia-Tennessee game is next weekend.  But it would not shock me to see Tennessee lose to Kentucky tomorrow.

College Football Playoffs

Two AWESOME games this evening.  The Big 10 had two teams in the 4-team playoff, and both lost.

Georgia and TCU in the final.

Absolutely. I came back from my annual performing gig New Year's Eve to catch the last few minutes of the OSU-UGA game. What a contest.

And you have to feel a little bit bad for Noah Ruggles. I mean, a 50-yard game-winning kick to advance to the national championship is a lot to ask at the college level, but to shank it as badly as he did... ouch.
