Right, except the Stealers don’t have to go through not knowing who their next opponent will be and therefore developing two different game plans. The Bills didn’t know till Monday if they would be playing the Flaming Thumbtacks on Tuesday or the Chiefs on Thursday. I’m still angry 😡 about that.

Indianapolis Colts punter Rigoberto Sanchez revealed on Instagram that doctors found a cancerous tumor that will require surgery. Sanchez is expected to undergo the procedure on Tuesday.
 

Head coach Frank Reich told reporters after Sunday’s loss against the Titans that Sanchez was dealing with a physical issue that required further medical evaluation. It led to the team keeping him from performing his typical kickoff duties.
 

Sanchez revealed Monday morning that the doctors found the tumor before it spread to the rest of his body.

Interesting tidbit for the Dec. 26 triple headers: the early and late games are on NFL Network, but the middle game between 49ers and Cards is on Amazon Prime.

Hey all, Tyler Dunne has started a new site. It is subscription, but think the first couple of pieces are free. 

 

Good read

Just getting back to this.  Another great long form piece from Dunne.

 

There are a few loose ends though, as I don't truly buy McD's explanations that he passed on Mahomes because he wanted to send a message to the veterans that he was not rebuilding.  If that were the case, they wouldn't have gutted the roster of talented malcontents and underachievers in the summer.

 

I also don't believe Monos's rationalization that they believed Mahomes could last to the end of the round. There were many evaluations that had Mahomes in top 10, and very few had him dropping to the bottom of round 1.  

 

In a sense, McDermott saved his career in Buffalo with the Allen pick, because everything he did leading up to his second season was suspect at best.
