I hear you there and the double incentive of knocking Tom Brady out seems me a WTF fan next Saturday night

This is the most obvious attempt to lose a game I’ve seen in the NFL. Wonder if or what fall out there can be though?

Pederson will just say he wanted to give Sudfield a shot for his work behind the scenes all year or some shit

That’s not going to go down well

Denzel Ward....10 straight days of clean test..it reads like? he could get back Saturday from his 1st listed day 

from PFT..... If the Browns qualify for the playoffs, they could play on Saturday, January 9 or Sunday, January 10. If it is the earlier date, Ward would still be in the 10-day quarantine period mandated by positive tests.

To my pal Ballpeen- the game today showed you what happens when Ward can't play. The secondary got shredded on Rudolph folly floaters... The coverage was OK, but plain not good enough.

I can't remember who said it or in what thread (Atom?) but could Ward be eligible to play next weekend? Or is he definitely out, regardless of what day next weekend we play? 

Because we need him, bad. 

ya it was me from what i recollect Wards 10 day (bullshit covid) stay would end on saturday and would be able to play on sunday

I meant I want that to happen so we can avoid going to KC after we beat the Steelers...

I understand....but what I am saying is that  Buffalo may actually be the stiffer competition at this point!  Really.

I would not take that bet.  Bills are playing best of any team in NFL.....better than KC, better than Green Bay, anyone.  Colts may be a nice team, but they don't match up to the Bills at this point.  Not at all.
