Does the NFL have any plans to make footballs from plants?  Or, at least make footballs from humanely raised organic free range pigs?

I think it will be a race between the NY Jets and NE Patriots to finish at the bottom of the AFC East.

The reluctance to formally name offensive and defensive coordinators is a tell that they have nothing. 

This is another "rebuilding" year that Brady was desperate to avoid in the waning days of his career, hence, one reason why he left.

Von Miller leaves SuperBowl Champion RAMS to join the BILLS

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- There's a voice in Von Miller's head during the big moments. At the end of games, when his team needs a play and everything is on the line.

Up by 3 with 1:25 left in Super Bowl LVI last February, the Los Angeles Rams defense needed a stop. All game long, Miller -- then a Rams outside linebacker -- had been setting the Cincinnati Bengals up to use his ghost move in the pass rush.

Finally, it was time to unleash it.

"You can do it. You are a pro. This is what you were made for," Miller likes to tell himself.

"It's that voice in your head. I want to do everything I possibly can to put myself in a good situation," Miller said. "It's all positive talk cause I've done everything I possibly could do to be successful."

Miller and defensive tackle Aaron Donald combined for four sacks and 11 QB pressures in the Super Bowl victory. Miller, who tied Charles Haley for the most career sacks in Super Bowl history (4.5), thrived in the postseason when Los Angeles needed him most -- his postseason pass rush win rate of 41.5% was the highest by a player in a single postseason (with a minimum of 30 pass rush plays) since ESPN started tracking that metric in 2017

Considering they were a wild-card team this past year, that surprises me a little bit. You'd think that they'd have a little more faith in the team they have after that. I mean, even Brady had years where he was bounced early in the playoffs.

But then again, a big function of that is the division competition and Buffalo is STACKED (which I never thought I'd ever see them be favorites; I'm waiting for how this can go wrong, because it ALWAYS seems to), plus Miami is a wildcard contender, anyway. The Jets, well, they're gonna Jets.

@jmyrlefuller

First, you have to understand the winter elements in Western New York on Lake Erie. 

Add the fact, it's an open air stadium not a dome.

The Bills Mafia are simply very loyal fans who have cried for decades and now have started to smile and feel good.
And every woman I know is in love with Josh Allen.  Jersey and all!

Jim Kelly and Levy took the BILLS to 4 CONSECUTIVE SUPER BOWLS!!!   

To accomplish that feat in contrast with current statistics...truly awesome. 

The only negative about the BILLS' franchise is what O.J. Simpson did to the brand.

I think the Bills are the team to beat in the AFC East.

The Patriots having two offensive co-ordinators is a terrible idea.  They might be able to make a run for a Wild Card if their defense improves during the season, and they avoid the injury bug.

Coach Belichick was a defensive coach under Bill Parcells.  Offense is not his strong point.

Injuries are always the wildcard when it comes to success. And lately the Bills have been lucky. But this year, they've had quite a few.

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.

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???

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..

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.

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.

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.

No way is the Bills/Bengals game going to continue...

Safety Damar Hamlin, 24, collapsed after a routine play.

Moderna claims another...

Very scary situation in Cincinnati tonight. Buffalo defensive back Damar Hamlin collapsed after a hit and had to be resuscitated. Game is suspended until further notice.

Why no update from the hospital?

He's gone...unable to breathe without machine.  They'll probably announce it once the stadium is emptied.

The consensus seems to be commotio cordis, which happens when a person takes a blow to the chest just as the heart is beating, causing a cardiac arrest. It's happened a few times, most recently in the NFL in 1971, a guy named Chuck Hughes.

A college classmate, his son and grandson are at the game. A retired pastor and Bills fan, he led the people in his section of the stands in prayer.

 The hit didn't look that severe, but the receiver's shoulder seems to have caught him in just the spot on his chest to traumatize the heart and cause it to stop beating. It's hard not to wonder whether vaccination did any damage (or was a factor at all). 24-year-olds should not collapse to the ground. A 28 y/o coworker of mine died suddenly of an undiagnosed heart condition - obviously not a vax situation. I think we can wait for clarification.

Because—and I know my name probably doesn't carry a lot of weight around here on this topic because of my stance on a lot of the anti-vax stuff that gets tossed about on here —we have no idea about Hamlin's vaccination record. Which vaccine(s) he took, how many doses, when those doses happened.

What we do know is that Hamlin has been playing throughout the season and much of last without any sign of heart issues.

We do know that football players can, and rarely do, take blows that can be fatal. Football is a contact sport; these things happen.

We do know that not a single adult American football player has died of a circulatory-related issue since before the vaccine was released in 2021. If this were a real phenomenon, we'd've seen it in less than the full year and a half since the vaccines were released, especially given how quickly the vaccines' intended effects have faded.

His name was Uche Nwaneri. He was 38 years old, and collapsed from a heart attack. Although his death was announced today, I think it actually happened a couple of days ago. Link from Twitter:

In order to play in the NFL, you had to be vaccinated.

Aaron Rogers counterfeits his 'paper's.

Don't you remember?

That said Brian Kilmead just talked about a case where the heart area is hit in between beats....need a defibrillator asap

funny you should mention that.

An ESPN analyst hopped onto Twitter, one with an obviously Italian name, and demanded they resume the game because he had a parlay riding on the result.

You couldn't be more obvious of a mobster if you tried.

The Bears won't draft Bennett.  Most likely, the Texans will give up their first round pick next year to trade up, and then draft the person they could have had at #2 for more money.

The pro football graveyard is littered with old quarterbacks who blew out their college-age competition but hit a brick wall in the pros. Chris Wienke and Josh Booty are two of the most recent.

I'm willing to bet that Stetson Bennett is not going to be the next great NFL star.

As a football player, he has always been blessed with a great offensive line, a solid defense on the other side of the ball, and a gift for completing 5-yd passes to completely open receivers.  His yards per catch ratio may be the lowest of any QB in NFL history.

I don't like the guy, but 89K passing yards and 7 rings?  That's a lot of 5 yd. passes.  :silly:, and second tier players don't deliver in the clutch like he does.
