Buffalo and New Orleans, hoping the Bills can pull that one out and give the Taints a loss. Also Dallas and ATL, I hate both, and we technically need Dallas to lose since they are a potential wildcard team. But I cannot in good faith root for ATL ever, so hopefully Dallas pulls out the win, ugh.

i can comfortably root for dallas to win today knowing there's no way they will survive the ezekiel elliott-less stretch.

After see the Saints debacle at BoA, I am a Bills fan today for sure. I convinced my wife to watch after telling her it was really like watching the "Panthers Lite." Next up, I'll be rooting for the Cowgirls to keep the Falcons at bay. Being one of the few around here that actually appreciates the magic Belichick, Brady et al are capable of, Sunday night football is a good watch tonight as well. I can't remember the last time I was looking forward to seeing three straight games in one day. The fact that they lead into the Panthers at home on MNF with us being a solid playoff contender at this point is a thick layer of icing on the cake. Helluva football weekend.

PS...Seeing the U in top form last night was pretty cool too. Maybe they'll generate a TE or two like they did in the past. If so, we all know one Huddler who will let us know about it.

    • I've watched literally every single snap of T-Mac's career, there isn't a person on these boards who knows his game better than I do.  And I'm telling you, he is a great fit for what Bryce does well, period. You keep talking about these "get open quick WRs" as what Bryce needs, but I couldn't disagree more, because it blatantly disregards what Bryce does best. AND NO.... that's not me saying we don't need any "get open quick" type of WRs, I've long said we still needed one of those in addition to a true outside #1, but it's not the only type of WR that can be a successful pairing with Bryce. Bryce's biggest strength is his mental side of the game, he reads defenses and plays chess instead of checkers.  That type of QB doesn't need to rely on his WR's to quickly create acres of separation because their mental side of the game will mean they are going to put the ball on the WR when they create even minimal separation, as he's going to anticipate it and throw the ball before the WR has even made his cut on the route. AND THAT is where and why Bryce and T-Mac are a great pairing.  When you have a guy with T-Mac's hands and catch radius, he doesn't need 5 yards of separation to get open and have Bryce then get the ball to him.   Bryce is going to be throwing the ball before he even makes his cut, so even if all T-Mac is able to do is create 1 yard of separation, the ball is getting to him when he creates that and because of his hands and size, he's plucking that ball out of the air before the defender even has a chance to close that 1 yard, because the ball is there as soon as T-Mac creates the room and turns his head.
    • I read an article a few days ago that places like Seattle green bay and a few others are revoking tickets rights to holders that sell 100% of their tickets. That would do a lot of good league wide for bringing back some home field advantages. We aren't the only team who's stadiums get over run by visitors. It happens basically everywhere. That would go a long way to bringing ticket costs down 
    • yeah, you can basically copy and paste my thoughts from this time last year.   We are building an O more suited for Jake Delhomme than Bryce Young.  Tmac and XL sound great for the downfield gunslinger  Give them opportunities to make plays.  From what I have seen, and the scouting stuff I have read.....TMac does not project as a get open quick WR.  He is going to have to work on getting off the line at this level, getting open, etc.  Which is all good.  This you go to think people will be studs out the gate or you are hater logic just ain't what I do.   Take my XL stance last year.  I lobbied hard for him.  When we drafted him I immediately told folks to pump their breaks on the wild expectations.    If XL legitimately turned into what I think he can be.....his best setup in the league would not be paired w/ a QB like Young.  if Bryce was going to be the dude, I would have lobbied for Ladd vs XL.  I was an XL guy.   And again, I would have gone Warren/Jeanty this draft.   I would have invested in small ball talent for him to be the PG for.
