Tried to ask
#Bengals
LB Logan Wilson about his perspective on tonight’s game, when he was involved in three tackles that resulted in injuries to
#Ravens
players, including TE Mark Andrews. The Bengals declined to make him available for questions.
Sigh. So it's that annual time when Twitter really hates me. But, back by *very popular* demand, here are my 2018 NFL record projections after I picked all 267 games (including Super Bowl LIII). Click for explanations:
Summer is officially over. If I think your team stinks, no offense intended. Now, onward to my annual

record projections ... sorry, but you'll have to click for the playoff forecast!

In a VERY empty Ravens locker room, a reflective
@obj
talked to reporters for 10 minutes after today's loss. If it was his goodbye to Baltimore -- and he WOULD like to return -- it was an extremely classy one.
One aspect that impressed me amid the
#DamarHamlin
incident? The response from the
@Bengals
and their fans. It's what you'd hope for, but they went above and beyond IMO:
Dear fans of
#DaBears
:
I’m just fine. Didn’t know D’Andre Swift couldn’t catch or Tom Brady couldn’t track downs ... guess I should’ve seen ATL blowing a 16-point lead. Thought you’d beat the Giants (by more).
I’m happy for you that mediocrity has been clinched. 😚
Soooooooooo
@NFL
(ATTN: Al Riveron), shouldn't Kareem Hunt be flagged for lowering his helmet like a battering ram there while trucking over Justin Simmons???????????!!!!!!! Player safety, etc.????!!!!

From Goodell:"Tonight’s Buffalo Bills-Cincinnati Bengals game has been postponed after Buffalo Bills’ Damar Hamlin collapsed. ...Hamlin received immediate medical attention on the field by team and independent medical staff and local paramedics. He ...is in critical condition."
Christmas came early! My annual NFL record projections are out of the oven ... and I'm sure I'll be taking fire for the rest of the month. Enjoy and talk amongst yourselves!

Lotta questions this week about potentially moving

elsewhere, specifically LA. But I gotta give annual shoutout to Indianapolis-- convenient, welcoming, fun town that knows how to do this event.
'Til we meet again, Indy ...
Never understood why
#NFL
breaks up officiating crews for playoffs. I understand they're going with highest-rated individuals, but still doesn't make sense to me if you could use highest-rated reffing units.
How about this
#NFL
owners: Hire Eric Bieniemy, and you're likely to hurt your draft position ... BECAUSE I SUSPECT HE'D BE A VERY GOOD HEAD COACH. This proposed draft pick incentivizer to hire minorities is insulting on so many levels.
I think I want the
#Chargers
and
#Raiders
to trade kneeldowns for 60 minutes and tie, which would clinch wild cards for both teams. The fallout would be tremendous.

preseason to hang out with this bundle of joy. DEFINITELY don’t feel like I’m in Week 1 shape today, but if it all works out, I’m going to hold out every August... (He’s using The Force here. Quite gifted.)
Here's all you need to know about NFL's QB rating:

didn't get a perfect 158.3 despite missing one throw and hitting on four TD passes tonight 🙄

wrote a nice piece about Dak and his new kicks:
There will be three women on the field for the

Cool progress, and they tell me we should expect a lot more of it ... to the point that it won't be a story anymore.

SOURCE: NFL Color Rush uniforms are NOT going away in 2018. But they will no longer be limited to Thursdays, when teams may opt for throwbacks or standard uniforms.
The Saints entered tonight's game with the NFL's sixth-ranked scoring defense. The Raiders never ranked BETTER than 20th in that category during QB Derek Carr's nine seasons with the franchise.
Thanks again to

is releasing a cool new project. I strongly encourage you to check it out, especially if you know a struggling veteran or athlete:
Three years ago, same field -- Mahomes didn't get to touch ball in OT of AFC Champ as Brady marched Patriots to victory. Script flipped this year as Allen has to watch OT loss without getting opportunity. Happy with

Better than Ditka ...
Better than Winslow ...
Better than Gonzalez ...
