The Pats*** will be another tough intra-divisional game imo. 

Yup. Their defense is pretty good. They went up and down the field yesterday but 5 turnovers killed them and they still almost won the game. Not going to be a walk in the park.

yeah - i take that game's outcome as somewhat of a fluke. 5 turnovers is nuts.

3 games into the season and they’re 2+ games clear of the entire division and also 2 games clear of KC and Baltimore. You really can’t ask for a better start.

Plus the Bungles will be without Joe Rodent Home for about 3 months.

Henry fumbles again in the 4th and then looks like he is going to kill someone.

Ravens tried to hurry up 4th and goal and blew the play. The always seem to self destruct in the big moment.

Lions really got to Lamar.

Ravens-Chiefs next week. Keep stacking wins and put distance between these teams.

There’s absolutely no way he comes back this year. They’re insane if they try it.

Poor guy can't even be frustrated with himself without screwing up.

That needs to go on the Lions' highlight reel at the end of the year.

Some one gonna be 1-3.. I feel like with the Chargers in that division ripping it up, I am gonna need to root for a KC win and a Baltimore loss...  because the way this is going it looks like we are gonna need to contend with the Chargers over the Chiefs... but who knows.

At the same time, I'd very gladly watch KC continue to lose and miss the playoffs completely.

Yes.  I fully expect their season to be lost at that point.  You don't rush your injury prone franchise QB back if there's nothing on the line.  The stuff I've heard on that one says that the 3 month timeline is very ambitious.

You dont do that unless you are Cinci or Cleveland... just sayin lol  but you are right probably not even them... people have to remember, one of the toughest football players I knew was Jack Lambert and Turf toe put him in retirement.. clearly there will be better treatment, but this stuff is no joke.

It's a toe. We're not talking about a throwing arm or a head injury here.

Well I guess I should take my statement back. I didn't realize turf toe could be that bad.

Realize this is likely backwards because the Bills have beaten the Crows in the playoffs twice and haven't beaten the Chefs in the playoffs since Montana was in the league; but the Bills are built to matchup against KC and KC isn't what it was the past 7 or so years this year.  The Ravens play a style that the Bills have to play their absolute A game to beat because they aren't particularly good at stopping heaving running teams.

So, would rather see KC win this one and hope that somehow the Stillers manage to be the only team coming out of the North.  Both the Bolts and the Donkeys could finish ahead of the Chefs in that division this year.  Which could make this the magical year that both the Crows and the Chefs miss the playoffs.

Totally get that Jackson has not been regular season Lamar in the playoffs to date and that they have a tendency to shoot themselves in the foot during big games; and also that until the Bills have beaten Mahomes Chefs in the playoffs they have not done so.  BUT with all that said, would rather face the Chefs in Buffalo in January than the Crows in Buffalo in January.  Go Walrus, coo-coo-a-chew.  Then go back to losing the following week.  😉

Turf toe is a weird name, but in this case, he essentially tore ligaments in the toe area. Essentially like tearing the ACL of the foot (not exactly, but works in this case lol) for a QB...3 step drops and planting a foot to throw are greatly affected by this, let along the mobility aspect of it.

It wouldnt seem that way, but what happens is from what I understand in JBs case the ligaments that hold the big toe in place tear... so, imagine an ACL on a knee... this is defacto and ACL/LCL on a toe...  clearly a lesser injury than an ACL... BUT alot of your planting, cutting ability, and balance is manufactured by the stability of that toe...  without that your toe would pop up straight and you couldnt really protect yourself or use any real agility...

I’m rooting for a tie.

It's a toe that already has him ruled out for a minimum of 3 months.  That alone tells you how big of a deal it is.

I'm very much a "I'll believe it when I see it" kind of person and I think that works well with both teams.  Specifically with KC, they're not done until they're eliminated and I want them out as soon as possible.  I know some will say that they want to see them finally beat KC, but I don't care who they go through as long as they're the last man standing.

And freely admit that it very well could be backwards.  The Bills have trouble with the Crows in the regular season but win close ones in the playoffs and they regularly beat the Chefs in the RS but lose close ones in the playoffs.  So, maybe stick with what works and if you have to run into 1 of them in the playoffs, hope it's the Crows; but at least on paper (and do realize they don't play them on paper) they should have an easier time w/ the Chef than the Crows.  And just can't get past that portion of it.

Though am hoping that somehow both of them miss the playoffs this year.  Who'd it be better to avoid, the Chefs of the Crows; like the little presumably Mexican girl asks "why not both."

And Mike McDaniel somehow ends up as the head coach of every single team they face in the playoffs.  I need some guarantees.

Lamar’s ball security has always been an issue. He’s careless with the rock.
