    The game in Buffalo will be interesting tonight. I never want the Cowboys to win but I want Mike back at Lambeau.

    Wish it was tomorrow nights game when all the snow is forecast.

    Going to be a cold game, but nowhere near like the last one with 50mph winds. Both cold weather teams so shouldn't be the deciding factor.

    I've told some of you guys this over the years. McDermott and I played college ball together. Same recruiting class and same position my first year. Lived together for years. SO proud of him and the Bills!

    Next 10 years are going to suck.

    Complete rebuild is going to have to be done, starting with both coordinators. Fired by morning. Butler has not lived up to the Lebeau understudy and Canada should go back to college ball as that is all his schemes are good for. Trade all the talent currently healthy for draft picks over the next 3 seasons and start from scratch.

    Emabarassment on the field tonight.

    Might as well sit Roethlisberger and let him retire with current health. No reason to jeopardize it at this point.

    Why is it not a penalty when the steelers center drops his head before he snaps the the ball? He sometimes does it twice before the ball is snapped.

    That is simulating the snap, a penalty. One thing if if do it every time you snap but when you do it twice during a snap count, that should be a penalty.

    Don't know, but no flags thrown for false start and not a problem with offside calls because of it. Has to be something in the rules that allows it since neither defense nor refs react.

    And just like that I come to the end of a franchise QB's tenure.

    While I was alive, I was too young to understand Bradshaw's heyday in the late 70's and early 80's. In '95 with McDonnell was great, but Neil was never a franchise QB. After that was just enough to get by with one hell of a coach in Cowher and a defensive genius in Lebeau.

    Ben was everything a an NFL franchise wants, sans the motorcycle and allegations of rape(never charged nor convicted by the way).

    He's a top 10 QB in NFL history in all of the pertinent records and was also the most sacked at the same time. Proves his toughness and grit at the same time.

    Disband and rebuild is my hope, even TJ Watt. Let him show that talent with a winning team before seeking a trade, get the draft pick for him if a team can afford his contract.

    Only way I change that view is if they get Jimmy G or some other veteran QB not named Rodgers. Nothing against Rodgers but he would not fair well in the AFC North.

    TJ Watt is a great player but he reminds me of a kid I coached in basketball. Do not leave your feat, sure you can jump up and block or bat 1 or 2 but you are getting burned while you are in the air.

    The Dallas cowboys had more penalty yards against them than 4 NFL teams had rushing yards last season.

    Surprised they are doing a Manning Cast on a playoff game. Guess it generates twice the ad money for ESPN

    Have to wonder if Mayock was only a Gruden thing. Steelers will be looking for a GM shortly.
