I will not be in a prognosticating position tomorrow, either:

You could say that Brock Osweiler was green with envy at the result of the game. Actually he was green with a fair probability of suffering damage to his eyes. Any idiot who shines a laser into someone's eyes, particularly a green laser that has a greater than legal output, could be found guilty of assault with intent to injure. At least that is the law in a nmber of states. In Mexico? Who knows.
Enough of a tirade. I'm off to my wife's stepsister's place in CT, a 3 1/2 hour drive under normal conditions. I do not look forward to it, but at least I don't have to cook.
