I'm pretty certain Enten is a Bills fan himself.

Thielen is becoming an absolute monster. id worry about the other teams starting to take him seriously and maybe double coverage on him, but I think he is an ultimate athlete and may till win most battles. On top of that, our run game is strong. Murray is everything AP wishes he still was. Our offensive line is playing top notch football and finally giving our OFfense a chance to win.

Not to mention our defense....

The next few games will be huge indicators but im starting to get excited about potential super bowl chances here*. Few road games starting at Detroit....

Hold on to your butts

*This is a minnesota sports team so this excitement comes with the real possibility of major heart break, frustration, and not even making the playoffs.

Carry on.
AP might be a Ewing Theory candidate for two teams this year, which is unreal.

Parcells would be correctly destroyed for that today. And it looks like good on Bob Kraft who called that out when it happened.

Yeah, I was just thinking about how that was over 20 years ago and barely anyone in the visible media gave a shit about it. I imagine the backlash would've been similar to Cam laughing a woman a few weeks ago.

With Glenn and Curtis Martin playing the way they did that year, I was sure the Patriots were going to win a Super Bowl before I got out of high school. They did, of course, but in no way like we thought they would.

Whew.
I'm not going to apologize for a win at Seattle, even if Atlanta tried our best to give it up in the end.

They never trailed though and the last Seattle TD was a really poor series for Keanu Neal.

The defense struggles with mobile QB’s still and could use a more diciplined pass rush at times but I imagine that’s counter to what the coach
mostly wants. Russell Wilson is a beast especially at home, I’m very happy they have tie breakers against most if not all of the competition for the 2nd wild card slot.

Brian Mitchell not getting in the Hall of Fame was a joke already, but him not even being considered a finalist this year, out of 27 candidates? Seriously? WTF
#2 all time in combined yards behind only Rice
1 of 4 players with 4, 2,000 yard seasons (and missed a 5th by 5 yards)
#2 in combined special team return TDs (retired number 1)
#1 in punt returns and yards
#1 in kick returns and yards
#1 in fair catches (by a ton lol)

and knocking those stats for longevity is stupid, he put up those numbers, over a long career, BECAUSE HE WAS AWESOME!

Seriously, how is he not even on the finalist ballot.

That Giants/Redskins nightcap was awful.
At least the Dallas game was worth watching for Cowboy haters.
