Actually I think that would be the Cowboys.  Did you watch that game last night?  Oof.  Terrible.

both teams now have histories of large things falling from the ceiling/rafters and onto the playing surface.

I realized that as I watched the play unfold and I was surprised he didn’t change the play at the los. Perhaps I misunderstood Orlovsky, but the fact that Spagnola played a zone concept the one time in a hundred didn’t fool anybody, which is the point I was trying to make.

From what I can tell, it still looked like man coverage pre-snap.

I enjoy Orlovsky the most of any analyst. But I’ll disagree a tad about his assessment of Allen’s TD run. Allen recognized it wasn't man coverage pre-snap when he saw nobody following the the man in motion. 

I don’t always like Brady’s concepts, but sending the RBs to the flats forced Bolton into coverage on several occasions, thus eliminating Spagnola’s spy, which Bolton is 99% of the time we play the Chiefs. I think Brady schooled one of the better DCs in the game. 

Of course none of that success is possible without excellent execution, especially by the OLine, who all should have received game balls despite the lack of success on running plays not involving Allen. 

I was looking for it and couldn't find till now, Josh Allen talked about how he could have checked out of it but they disguised it very well so he thought it was man until they snapped it and the chiefs dropped into zone.

Well, they are the only pro team with a longer playoff drought.

I hate it when the jets fire someone because it opens up that very small chance that they finally get it right.

There were a couple tells that tipped me off; very little movement by the Chiefs D when Shakir shifted to the backfield and as Johnson went in motion the Chiefs CB on the right side of their alignment simply shifted a little bit to his right instead of a dedicated man following him across the formation.

Snow game!

Purdy  has a sore throwing shoulder and is questionable against GB Sunday. Wonder how serious it is and if it could affect hm against the Bills the following week.

I have no faith that their QB play will get them enough wins for the #1 seed.  It’s not good or consistent.

As much as I loathe people using the common name for the University’s sports teams for the Steelers, I’ll allow it as the Steelers and their fans suck the largest of phalluses.

I thought they would get more time than that.  But Mara is still probably pissed about Barkley going to Philly. 
Schoen had a really really good draft last year.  I thought they’d let him pick his QB and let Daboll try to develop “his” guy.

Might not be happening, Jeremy White posted a re tweet from someone and then deleted it.

Yeah, a LOT of articles about why the Jints should fire Daboll (and some saying Schoen should go too) but there doesn't seem to be anything credible saying it has actually happened.  (But wouldn't be surprised at all if 1 or both are gone after they get humiliated in Dallas; presumes they'll get humiliated in Dallas, not a given but doesn't seem like too risky an expectation.)

wait - what?

[Night Train]

San Fran looked bad with backups this Sunday. Lose by 28.

Wonder what the status is for those missing players next Sunday in Orchard Park.  No mercy to the pre-season SB pick for the NFC.
