Makes the Stefon Diggs trade look even better for the Bills. I still can't believe the Bills got a 2nd rounder for an old receiver with an attitude problem. Swapping 6th & 7th round picks for the #2 overall pick from 3 years ago... daaaamn.

Sabres bring back Lindy Ruff as coach. On the one hand, he's basically Mr. Sabre. Almost half the team's existence has had him as either player or head coach. I *like* Lindy, but I'm not very excited about this.

2nd rounder for a 30YO receiver who throws a temper tantrum every time he gets knocked out of the playoffs? I'll take that every day.

It's completely insane that he's still playing. His rookie season was with the Drew Bledsoe Bills.

Who do they think they are?! The Yakuza?

NHL draft odds are ridiculously flat. You could go 0-82, and you'll still get less than 20% chance at the #1 overall pick. You don't want a team that has completely hollowed itself out and given up on any chance of competing. It's a stink in the locker room that isn't always easy to wash off.

The Lions should just get the stickum out at this point.

After that third down drop, I'm going to say yes, yes there is a way.

Somehow I never noticed this before, and it's really going to annoy me.

Having a pretty good QB with a really good team around him is still a valid strategy to win the Super Bowl. Sure, it's better to have one of the greatest players of all-time at QB, but you could draft #1 overall multiple years in a row and it's still not guaranteed.

Is that a stock photo from LinkedIn, or is that what he actually looks like?

If the defender does something to "extend" the hit after the ball is in the air, I totally get it. This was a pretty quick tap, though; I don't think it makes sense to punish the D for something as quick as that. It looked like he did start the hit before the ball was out of Mahomes' hand.

Jason Kelce is going to end up on the field in full Eagles gear any second.

So you can be hitting a guy, and the QB releases the ball, and then the thing you were already doing becomes illegal? According to Gene Steratore, yes.

brb I'm deleting any posts where I said how stupid the fumbling through the end zone rule is.

Not guaranteeing a win, but this Bills team can punch back. I've watched a lot of years where it felt like one bad break would ruin their chances. (Narrator voice: he waited until after the Bills went up 24-20 to post this)

Too many injuries on defense for the Bills. At least they're only playing *checks notes* Patrick Mahomes. I'll be covering my eyes for the next 3 hours.

I bet the Bucs wish they had an extra 30 seconds on the clock right about now...

Did anyone else notice the clock kept running after that catch with ~11 minutes left in the 4th? Even though it seemed like a very obvious out-of-bounds to me? If one team runs out of time on a comeback drive at the game, that's going to be big. Edit: From the NFL drive summary. Pushed out of bounds, but next play didn't start until 39 seconds later on the game clock.

I don't need the Bills to win the Super Bowl. I just don't want to lose to the goshdarn Chiefs again.

I like these little snow fountains in the Bills crowd. Reminds me of the videos of flying over LA on July 4th.

I guess they didn't finish shoveling. It's the stadium version of "F it; we'll do it live!" There's a lovely, fluffy, snow globe snow falling at my house right now that would make for good TV without messing up the game too much if it migrates down to the stadium.
