Bills will get to see what a comically bad secondary looks like next weekend, too. With their great defense, chances are the Oakland offense won't be much better.

What a disappointing year.

*EDIT* I thought they had one of the stingiest defenses in the NFL? Must have taken some hits in the past month, because now I look and it's down at like #21. Maybe it'll be a decent game after all. Depends on which Oakland offense shows up.

Hey at least Deion Sanders said what no one else has said, the offensive line is the issue in Miami not the QBs.

It’s a western shootout so far between the Hawks and Texans. Very impressed with D. Watson’s mobility. The Legion of Boom will have to do a better job at containing him, he’s a serious threat,

Bills 5-2!

I can't believe the AFC East still has three teams with winning records after Week 8. At the start of the season, I would have thought the division would be the worst in football.

Have you watched the Dolphins play? A winning record does not mean sh*t clearly.

Boy oh boy, if you like offense this was the game to watch but for me it was a rollercoaster of emotions. I think total offense was about 850+ yards for both teams, and what a fight D. Watson put along the Texans. With about two minutes to go, and losing by four points the D had to show up. Easier said than done on today’s game but they came through and with key timeouts remaining, Seahawks came thru in the end.

This D. Watson is good as advertised, they never gave up but neither did the Home team.

What a game...

Understatement.

Texans have one of the best offenses in the NFL now that we have Watson.

Too bad our former #1 ranked defense has gone to s*** after losing JJ Watt and Whitney Mercilus.

Texans still mediocre.

Reports are Zach Miller's leg is in danger and docs are working to save it. That was a gruesome injury and I hope that is not true. I won't even get into the reversal of the call, the NFL is a s*** show and the head of officiating is responsible for all replay reversals so Bears fans expecting an apology from the league are going to be waiting a long time.

That was a great catch and TD. The only time the ball hit the ground was after his entire body hit the ground and in extreme pain had to released the ball. But that was 5 seconds after the catch, so yeah terrible call.

Prayers that the surgery goes well, man that’s tough.

Even before the play we were discussing how the rules are so f***ed. A player running with the ball can extended it forward and if it hits the plane it is a TD. Yesterday I saw in 2 games this play and the defense slap the ball loose but it is a TD. However a guy making a catch must apparently retained the ball until they wheel him into surgery for it to be a TD.

Each report keeps getting worse for Miller. Sounds like emergency surgery saved his leg and maybe life but he is getting an MRI and will need more surgeries which sucks. Such a good leader on this team, going to be a tough loss to take.

Allegedly doesn't work hard enough and sits out a lot of practices because of his knees, which were already questionable before he was drafted. So I'm thinking they know something the fans don't. He was suspended last year by the team for insubordination as well...so I'm thinking a few things went into the decision. I personally like Drake, their backup, a lot...so it doesn't hurt THAT much, but Ajayi was definitely fun to watch.

I find it hard to buy the bad team guy concept on a team that has the dirtiest player in the league on their roster. Of course one who is afraid of the big bad Ryan Mallett :D

It's not dirty when you just flat out choke a guy out. That's just blatant disregard for authority. LOL. Dirty guys try to hide it a little bit.

And I have Burfict as the dirtiest in my rankings. :)

True on Burfict, but i have Suh is my "next OJ" pool for when he is done with football.

One thing is for sure this season is just insane. Up is down, black is white. You never saw this many trades even 5 years ago, it's a different league.

It's a brave new world when the NFL trading deadline has more meaningful deals than almost any stick-and-ball league in North America other than the NBA.

Fun!

Regarding dirty players, I put Burfict No. 1, too. Suh is dirty; Burfict is an orange prison jumpsuit in training.

At the rate stars are going down, the Super Bowl is going to be nothing but players who started the season on practice squads. Awful year.
