Whether true or untrue, all DK has to do is claim the fan called him a racial slur for maximum damage control.

If week beat Buffalo they will likely rest their starters week 18 against the Jets.  We have the Jets third round pick.  Winning this week may cost us a few draft slots in the late 60's next spring.  Food for thought.

No meal to be had there. The Eagles haven't clinched the 3 seed yet. They need to win to do that. So, they play to win this week. Anything less than that is hubris. The draft position of a traded pick should never factor into that decision, especially a 3rd round pick.

Now... with the Panthers/Seahawks game starting at 1... and the Eagles/Bills game starting at 4:25... it's possible that the 3 seed could be locked up with a Panthers loss by kickoff. That might change things, but likely only a little. The inactives would have to be determined long before that Panthers game is decided. So, the starters likely do start the game, though they might go to the backups quickly in the 2nd half if conditions are bad.

Denver is a 12-point favorite over KC in KC on Christmas.  Wild.

Jeffery Simmons presser yesterday was infomrstie on where the chiefs are at Qb. Simmons said didn’t even know who the chiefs backup was to minshew was and when installing a game plan didn’t ask or think about if minshew got hurt how they’d attack him.

I believe in this defense against anyone. If the offense can get back to an above average/good level they’ll be on a good trend. And if they get the run game going I think they will beat the piss out of some of these teams.

The running game will get better if they start utilizing bigsby more. It's truly unfathomable that this guy doesn't get consistent carries, if only to keep Barkley fresh. Give bigsby 7-10 carries a game and they get over 150 ypg between the 2 easily. Then you don't need hurts to throw as much, win-win for everyone

This stems from that bills fumble he had in week one. They have actually done this a couple of games in the 4th quarter with Henry (I’d have to find the tweet but they have actually done it in 3 other games too).

That said the ravens find ways to lose games and do dumb things in big spots. Imo it stems from their head coach also making boneheaded decisions especially in critical moments in games. This is why I’d fired John Harbaugh. There’s so much evidence of the ravens blowing games/big leads and finding idiotic ways to lose over TJ course of the last 3-4 years. For the ravens it is time to somebody in there that can clean up some of the low IQ and stupid things.

I don’t know if they would rest starters. They could potentially fall to the 7th with two losses.

Frankly if going to be a wild card team then want the 5 seed in the afc. Play the Steelers who are the weakest of the division champs. meaning bills should Hope NE loses but if not Texans beat the chargers/broncos beat the chargers  and win out. That said the 6 and 7 seed currently is facing jaguars (3) and New England (2). Imo i rather face NE than jaguars. I think the jaguars are playing better than NE. NE tougher place to play but also they’ve not been as dominant lately except against a horrible giants team.  

Don't think Sirianni will openly rest guys and tell the opponent beforehand. But do see reduced snaps for all key players by the end of this game. Ultimately, dont think they will be overly concerned about winning or losing game here. Essentially, had this game as a loss when the schedule came out. Bills need this game more and will battle like heck to win. With that and the crazy, cold weather conditions, it should be a very limited workload for all key guys. Definitely no L. Johnson or JC. Resting Jurgens/Dickerson fully. Hurts, Barkley, Goedert, Mailata, AJ, D.Smith, Davis, Baun, Coop, Q should see less snaps by 2nd half. Think that's the happy medium here. Half rest this week. Next week is full rest for all starters and a pseudo bye week for Commanders. And rest Jake as well. Completely. 😂

It doesn't matter what was said to him. He had no reason to walk over there and engage the fan, let alone touch him. That's why there is event staff on duty. Tell them about the situation and have the fan removed. Handling it himself just leads to liability... and ridicule. He took what was a bad situation and made it horrible for himself. Not smart. Besides, shouldn't he be more focused on what's happening on the field than he is what's going on in the stands? These guys have rabbit ears far too much.

They called it a slur when Cam Newton said it. They definitely will call it a slur for some white guy in Detroit.

Could’ve been insulted that he got called diddy Kong instead of donkey Kong and was being used as a slur

Important to the lions potentially still having something to play for in week 18 vs. bears. Granted Lamar might also be out

OL is my #1 priority in the draft. Day-three flyers are not the answer anymore. There is an opportunity to upgrade RG and get Lane's successor in the building.
