Some great plays do not end up on the stat sheet.

One of the most important players on our defense. I think he has pro bowl potential if he stays healthy. All I want for Christmas is a healthy Milano playing along side a healthy Bernard!

I feel like Oliver has made a lot of complementary plays that haven't shown up on the scoresheet this year.

Expand that to include a healthy Johnson, Benford, and Douglas, too.

Please and thank you.

The simplest way to explain the Bills’ AFC East clinching scenario is this:

• Both the Jets and Patriots will be eliminated from the division with their next loss, or the Bills’ next win.
• The Dolphins will be eliminated from the division with any combination of two losses and/or Bills wins.

The rationale is that the worst the Bills can finish is 9-8. If Jets or Patriots lose again, they won’t be able to get to nine wins. If the Dolphins lose twice, they’d be 4-8 and could still match the Bills at 9-8, but the Bills have the tiebreaker from sweeping the season series.

Getting the Dolphins to lose twice and the Patriots and Jets to lose once could happen in the following scenario:

• Week 12: Patriots beat Dolphins (Bills and Jets on bye week)
• Week 13: Dolphins lose at Packers, Jets lose to Seahawks, Patriots lose to Colts

Since the Bills have the Sunday night game in Week 13, it’s possible for all four of those results to fall into place even before their next game begins.

He is also second in yards after contact (Chase #1).

ps pretty sure he had one drop in the Colts game (maybe not technically one though) ?

Drops are subjective. So, it wouldn't surprise me if the drop number varied by the datasource.

Weather game tonight: Freezing rain, snow, wind apparently

The AFC North never makes any sense. It's the one division you can actually listen to the old adage and throw their records out the window whenever two of the teams play each other.

 

[misterchainsaw]

Both teams with just disastrous clock management there. I'm so happy we have a coach who doesn't actively royally f*** these situations up. Sometimes there's quibbles, sure, but he never makes a complete mess of the clock at halftime or the end of games.

Cleveland missed a chance to run off an extra 20 seconds by taking a false start with 22 on the play clock, then Pittsburgh doesn't call timeout on 3rd down letting Cleveland run the play clock down to 0 before calling timeout themselves and kicking the FG.

EDIT: That said if we didn't have McD I'd take Tomlin all day. I don't think he's a great game day/time management coach, but he sure can build a team.

I’d easily go back a few weeks and make the trade i proposed for Myles Garrett.

Im hoping this continues.The Steelers have looked like trash outside of their first 2 drives.

Him and TJ Watt are freaks of nature. I love watching both of them. Just complete game changing players. No one else in the league really comes close.

Their entire offense is "chuck it to Pickens and hope he wins contested catches". It's not a sustainable approach.

Aiden Hutchinson before his injury is in that class too.

And pound Harris/Warren......Pickens has caught some absolute bs balls this year. No way in hell that continues throughout the whole year. Some of his catches have been insane and lucky .

Aiden Hutchinson before his injury is in that class too.

Ah forgot him. Yeah he was getting into that tier as well.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Steelers got this, just need 2 more FGs.

Heavy snow coming down now in Cleveland

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

I was ignoring this game until I saw it was a snow game. Love this shit

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

The dumbest f***ing penalty I've seen this season; browns defender rips Pickens mouth guard off long after the play. I would have screamed in his face and sent him to the locker room

 

[Sabreality]

Browns Brownsing

Tomlin with another masterclass on what not to do under 2 minutes left on defense. Timeout when the clock was already stopped after the penalty confusion (and I don't hate the decision to back them up when you're thinking it's a FG game in these conditions), then doesn't use the timeout to stop the clock after the 1st and goal play.

Down go the Steelers!!!

Way to go Browns! That turned into a wonderfully messy snow game. Can’t relate to some of the media folks who say they want every game played in a dome.
