Anybody hear the Todd Bowles interview? hahahaha

Anybody hear the Todd Bowles interview? hahahaha

What the one where the female reporter asks him how his team will adjust to the weather in Detroit and he replies that other then getting off the bus to the indoor stadium there wasn’t an issue?
About the dumbest question asked to Head Coach ever.

Meh....I don't even think its top 100 dumbest. There are some really dumb reporters.

edit: Worst question to a Pitcher ever. I forget the guy who got hit with a 108 mph comebacker right between the eyes. 2 days later he is wearing sunglasses and you still see black and blue all over his face. Reporter "can you describe how that felt?" Pitcher "go grab me a bat from that locker and let me hit you in the face with it".

A lake-effect snow warning was in place through Thursday at 7 p.m. ET in Western New York, which includes Orchard Park where the Bills' Highmark Stadium is located. That means Buffalo could receive 1 to 3 feet of snow while additional storming could run the total to over four feet. Per Accuweather, Buffalo could still receive snow fall through Saturday.

That means the game between the Chiefs and Bills, which kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET Sunday, likely won't be affected by falling snow, but the home team may struggle getting its players and coaches into the team facility for practices and meetings during the week. (The latest forecast says it will me "mostly cloudy and not as cold" on Sunday as on Friday and Saturday.) The Bills are also once again offering $20 an hour for anyone who wants to come shovel snow at the stadium to help get it ready for the game.

Where the heck do they put it all? Lake Erie, I suppose.

[Joemailman]

Lamar Jackson with 52 yards rushing already.

[Fritz]

Lamar Jackson with 52 yards rushing already.

What? I thought the Packers were playing the Niners, not the Ravens.

[bobblehead]

Yea, but he is being spotted 52 yards rushing for the Owl already.

[ThunderDan]

I would think so. Madison dumps snow in the lake during large snow years when there is no where else to put it.

[Joemailman]

Ravens give up 67 yard punt return for TD. ST usually a real strong point for Ravens.

[Joemailman]

Texans spying Jackson now.

[smuggler]

Texans playing it tough, but gotta think the Ravens have the edge.

[Joemailman]

Hard to win in the playoffs if you can't run the ball.

[smuggler]

If the Ravens score any points here, it's pretty much over. Shame Fairburn missed that FG at the end of the half.

[MadtownPacker]

We should all be Ravens fans at the moment

[Joemailman]

We should all be Ravens fans at the moment

Why?

[MadtownPacker]

Why?
History and odds likely say one home team will get upset this weekend. It wasn’t the Ravens. Maybe it can be SF.

[smuggler]

The Ravens will just lose next weekend instead. :-D

[smuggler]

Takeaway from this game is Stroud's biggest asset - those deep throws - were not on the table and he wasn't able to hit the crossing stuff under pressure. Compared to last week, with Love shredding Dallas' pressure by going over the middle.

Not all pressure is the same, and the Ravens were able to attack Stroud on almost every drop back because the Texans could not run the ball whatsoever. Still, he's not quite the wunderkind I saw over the last few weeks. Hopefully Love fares better against pressure this evening against the Dirtpanners.

Lions/Bucs looking pretty even so far. Lions got an INT but could only get a FG out of it.

Bucs throw an INT and dropped one of their own… kinda reminds me on a recent game.

[Rastak]

I'd be fine with the Lions winning it all. Been a REAL REAL REAL long time for those guys.

[Joemailman]

Out of respect for Fritz, I won't cheer for Lions.

[Rastak]

There is that. Sorry Fritz.

[Bretsky]

i missed this; does Fritz hate the Lions ?

San Fran is beating the winner of today; but I am cheering for the Lions

He lives "Detroitish" and is a Pack fan.

[MadtownPacker]

Lions have a chance. Tampa didn’t. Lions appear healthy. Packers left a trail of miner bodies so who knows.

[Fritz]

Yeah, I had some bad experiences with Lions' fans way back in the 90's, when they were good for a hot minute. Real assholes. Not "all in good fun" stuff. Shitty stuff. You saw a bit of that with the treatment of Stafford, after he laid it all on the line for the Lions for years and years while they sucked unwashed ass.

I hope SF stomps them. Fuck them, and their mothers, and everybody who looks like them.

Come on Fritz, tell us how you really feel?

[run pMc]

I'm rooting for SF to beat DET, but either way I hope the AFC stomps the NFC in the SB.

The booing of Stafford really opened my eyes. WTAF.

Despite our mutual animus, interactions with Bears fans are pretty collegial.

I'd like the Bills to win it all.

I will say this; when I have been at UW Madison games I have found the Wolverine fans to be the shittiest I have every met

[Fosco33]

Bills sure like wide right

[Joemailman]

Maybe now Carlson doesn't feel lonely.

[MadtownPacker]

Maybe now Carlson doesn't feel lonely.
I was telling my son it was a bad call going for it anyways. Mahomie was just going to walk down the field and get the FG FTW regardless. TD was required. Great game like ours though.

[Fritz]

Detroit toughened up at the end of their game with Tampa.

Baker Mayfield’s just not gonna get you to the Promised Land.

[SudsMcBucky]

Not if it's the Chiefs repping the AFC. Fuck them.

[run pMc]

LOL
at this point I want BAL to curbstomp SF and have Shanahan looking physically sick by the middle of the 3rd quarter.

[texaspackerbacker]

The football season is over IMO. I don't give a shit about any of those teams or games.
