AFC East Thread

FinatikStaffRavens safety Kyle Hamilton went for an MRI after hurting his knee during Sunday’s overtime win against the Rams and he could be out for a little while after receiving the results of the test on Monday. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Hamilton has been diagnosed with a sprained MCL. The report adds that Hamilton is considered week-to-week as a result of the injury.
Hamilton has started every game for the Ravens this season. He has 69 tackles, three sacks, two interceptions, an interception return for a touchdown, nine passes defensed and a forced fumble in those appearances.
The Ravens will be on the road to face the Jaguars and 49ers over the next two weeks. The two games that will help determine whether the Ravens can secure the top seed in the AFC, so having Hamilton available would be a plus for Baltimore’s bid.
Lots of people will tell you what they think about you and what you shouldn't and should do. Not everyone's thoughts are worth consideration. Don't take criticism from anyone who you wouldn't also go to for advice.

The Ravens are in the AFC East?

Ravens winning or losing affects the Dolphins chances of a #1 seed, so it's related to the AFC East.

HaHa! Holy ----!!
After last night, it looks like the Bills get a free win. The Chargers are on vacation.
FinatikStaffThe Bills are going to have to try to beat the league’s highest-scoring team without a couple of their key defensive players.
Bills head coach Sean McDermott announced on Friday that edge rusher A.J. Epenesa and safety Micah Hyde will not play against the Cowboys on Sunday. Epenesa hurt his ribs after picking up an interception in last Sunday’s win over the Chiefs and Hyde suffered a neck stinger.
McDermott said that injured reserve has not been ruled out for either player and that Hyde is likelier to land on the list at this point in time. Those two players have been the only members of the active roster to miss practice this week. Their full injury report will be released later on Friday.

Hopefully the Chargers will get that new coach bump after they fired Staley and it gets them to somehow beat the Bills.

There was football on last night?
Truthfully, I did forget about the Thursday night game, but with a 63-21 blowout, doesn’t look like I missed anything.

FinatikStaffAaron Rodgers has spent the last three months talking about returning to the Jets before the end of the season, but that push has apparently come to an end.
During a Tuesday appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers said that he would be pushing to play if he was 100 percent but that he has not reached that point in his recovery from a torn Achilles. Rodgers intimated that there would be a conversation about playing without reaching that point if the Jets were still alive, but they were officially eliminated from playoff contention last Sunday and Rodgers has shifted his attention toward the future.
Rodgers said he thinks that future will see him playing for the Jets beyond the 2024 season.
“I don’t think so,” Rodgers said when asked if next season will be his final one. “I felt like when I came here that I got a renewed passion and love for the game. Everything has been amazing here. . . . I wanted at least two years. I feel like this year is kind of a lost year now that I only played a couple of snaps. Wasn’t able to go out there and prove what I’m capable of, what we’re capable of as a team. I don’t think next year will be my last year.”
Rodgers said he thinks the Jets need to “reload a little bit,” but that they have talented players on both sides of the field and that he’s a believer in head coach Robert Saleh, offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and General Manager Joe Douglas.
“The night is always darkest before the dawn and we’re gonna rise again and it’s going to be exciting,” Rodgers said.

a 14th straight season without a playoff appearance.
firedanForum VeteranI hope he returns to suffer the same fate as Favre.
They were talking about him on ESPN radio last night, specifically about how they have never seen a player who was out for the season interject himself into the team’s storyline as much as Rodgers did.
I never used to pay him much attention, but he really has become an unlikeable guy.

He also went on to say that he is realistically about 3-4 weeks away from being able to play. Which would be about 4 1/2 months from the time of injury. In reality I'm betting that he's closer to 8 weeks away, but he's saying less because no one would expect him to come back now that the Yets have been eliminated.
I'm still laughing at those who tried to ridicule me for saying that there's no way he can come back 3 1/2 months post injury. They instead tried to believe that Rodgers can somehow will his body into healing faster than humanly possible. Saying that, it is remarkable that a 40 yr old guy could have possibly come back at the bare minimum (6 months), but there was just no way possible for him to come back in half that time.

You were right.

JJ_79Forum VeteranWell Belichick is gone from the AFC East, what a great timing for the Cheatriots now they can snag Vrabel… Doesn’t seem like a coincidence to me.
FinatikStaffWhat did Verabel do in Tennessee except get fired? I think his players are on the edge of playing dirty trying to hurt players and that would be my only concern having to play them twice a year.

I would hate to see him here, because I think he’s a good coach. He was coach of the year, has a winning record despite never having a QB and he worked for a cheap ownership who didn’t want to pay AJ Brown for instance.
FinatikStaffSunday's NFL wildcard game between the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers could be moved to Cleveland if lake effect weather prompts a state of emergency to be declared in Western New York.
On Thursday afternoon, the National Weather Service issued a winter storm watch for much of Western New York, including Orchard Park where the Bills play their home games.
It is in effect from Saturday afternoon until Monday morning and states over seven inches of snow are possible over the weekend, with winds possibly reaching 60mph.
And Pittsburgh's KDKA Radio are now reporting that Browns stadiums officials have already been informed that a switch of venues may be required.
Cleveland Browns Stadium is located 184 miles southwest of Orchard Park.Cleveland Browns Stadium officials have been put on alert in case the game has to be moved. It would be a huge blow for Josh Allen and the Bills if they have to give up homefield advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
But Mike Tomlin and the Steelers, who go into the game as underdogs, would be delighted to have the game moved to a neutral venue.
The report also predicts temperatures could be in the 20s at kick-off time, although it could feel as much as 10 to 15 degrees colder.
'We've been through a lot of games here where we've had to, no pun intended, weather the storm that way, right,' Bills coach Sean McDermott said this week.
'It affects how you play the game, how you manage the game. So when we have that here, it's an added dimension to our preparation.'
Rudolph is 3-0 as a starter since taking over for an ineffective Mitch Trubisky before a game against Cincinnati on December 23.
The Steelers have averaged 27 points since Rudolph took over, a full 10 points more than they had been averaging during a sometimes rocky season that included a 1-4 stretch from mid-November to mid-December that dropped Pittsburgh out of playoff position.
'We're simply staying with the hot hand and not disrupting the apple cart,' Tomlin said Tuesday.
'We've been in some tough circumstances. He's delivered, we've delivered.'

Anything that may hurt the Bills’ chances is AOK with me!
PS. No Vrabel in New England; Jerrod Mayo was promoted to HC from his LB coach/defensive play calling position.

Good news imo!
Bills lose....Once again, when Allen has to make a play, he fails in the playoffs. LMAO!!
Allen is a perennial choke artist. Too stupid to be an elite QB. He sh!ts the bed every time he needs to make a "must have" throw. Diggs was WIIIIIIIIIIIDDDEE open for the TD and Allen missed him by about 10 yards. lmao
Allen is a RB that is afforded QB privilege's. Making Allen win by throwing is the best way to beat the Bills.
I’ll bet Diggs is PO’d tonight. Three catches on eight targets for 21 measly yards.
nice to see the Bills fall again to KC , especially as they were at home.
