Brett Favre announces that he has been diagnosed with Parkinsons disease.
The next day Tommy Kramer announces that he has been diagnosed with dementia.
Anybody think these guys don't risk a lot to play this game??????
My judgment was clouded by past Jacksonville BS when I made my prediction. When I sat down in the stands and felt the energy in the stadium last night I knew it would be a blowout. Commish can verify - Jacksonville was a team that was SO ready to quit like dogs and they sure did. Instead of a desperate wounded opponent, we got a team that couldn't be bothered to show up. Pederson is toast. Lawrence looks broken. They're a bottom 5 franchise - totally screwed with a middling overpaid QB and no meaningful talent around him.
Gonna hold off on crowning the Bills for now - Jax sucks, we own Miami and the one solid team we've played this year gave us a close game at home. The next 3 games will be huge. GO BILLS!

Thorough beat down! Woof!
Something is amiss in Jacksonville. They should be better than they are but they are like 3-9 over their last 12. 3-10 after tonight. Buffalo 23 Jacksonville 16.
I watched that kicker from Matto's Cowboys nail a 65 yard FG yesterday like it was a routine 30 yarder...... are we ever gonna run Bass out in a situation like that??????? Not likely.......
Jags 21
As to uniforms I think they will stick with the traditional blue jersey white pants combo. Although I’m not ruling out the all blues combo.

Can't drop this game. We have had a long break off a huge win, and the Jags are 0-2 and desperate as Matto says. 0-3 and your season is basically over. Big potential for a letdown game tonight. Missing Bernard and Milano may finally hurt us this game (less concerned about Johnson being out with how well Lewis and Ingram have played). But no Engram for them is a big deal.
That said I feel like Josh should carve up a team that relies on man coverage with his running and looks to Kincaid. If he's truly "uncoverable" as I heard all summer then he should go off tonight.
Bills 26 Jaguars 17.

The Jags are better than 0 and 2, they're desperate, and they always play the Bills tough. It'll be a battle all day. I'll still take the Bills to win, but not cover. Buffalo 24 Jax 23 with Bass sneaking one in just inside the upright from 34 yards to win.

Well...it was said on this board before it all played out. It wasn't hard to project. This is why we call things "slipper slopes" or worse "leaks in the dam".
College football (all sports really) quickly went south and sad. It started with “just get the kids some money” - “they work hard and the schools benefit.” To now…kids are making 9 figures and apparently….schools can now raise tickets prices to directly pay kids. Sounds pretty much like the NFL WITHOUT a salary cap:
The University of Tennessee will add a 10% "talent fee" surcharge to 2025 football season tickets, and that money will be used to pay players as the NCAA moves to a revenue-sharing model. Expect more programs to follow suit.
