The bills game should go to Cleveland or Pittsburgh. Both are close enough and available this weekend

But have the players even had a chance to practice? Can anyone get to the facilities or our of their hose?

Seems a bit unfair to have to play while the Jets have full practice, but I suppose it is the Jets...

Just announced the game is moved out of Buffalo and will (edit: most likely) be played Monday.

Knowing a game is a trap going into it still doesn't help at times. The NFL is funny.

Raiders will end up losing this one.

I still don't understand why there aren't goal line cameras with the technology we have now?

Oakland almost caught with multiple players 10 yards offsides still celebrating a sack before getting a timeout, classic Raiders.

I wish the Raiders had gotten a penalty on the sack celebration play and then lost the game. That would have been a more fitting end.

Honestly though, kid should have been starting for the team from week 1.

So when the last team leaves the ranks of the undefeated, the '72 Dolphins pop open a bottle of champagne. What do the '08 Lions do when the last team leaves the ranks of the winless?

When your team still doesn't have a WR who has a TD.

Not to spoil fun at the Lions' expense, but the Dolphins story is an urban legend.

I had no idea.

Interesting stat. Only one team in NFL history has faced an 0-10 (or worse) team four different times in their history: the Chiefs. The Chiefs are 0-4 in those games.

Some of these guys are so stupid. Vikings going for it on 4th and 5, Bridgewater throws it 25 yards down field and the DB picks it off. He gets up and starts highstepping, good job moron, you cost your team 25 yards of field position.

Lucky for him his teammate had already cost him the ball with a holding penalty.

Jacksonville needs to find a power runner to compliment Robinson because he has no business being a workhorse running back. If he's the speed/receiving back, then he's worth it.

I also had to remind myself of Trent Richardson's contract. I know Ingram is finding a second life, but I'm not sure Trent does so by next year, and he'll likely just get dumped. Trent remains one of the biggest misfires for me figuring out if a player could make it on the NFL level.
