And a good portion of this without a very expensive db, white! Jackson has been really solid. Would never rethink the white deal as he has so many intangibles. But maybe it affects further signings ,esp Wallace as Jackson is still on his rookie deal. Levi could be expendable next year.

I liked Roberts but I posted above on the 3 rd what I would do. Steven son and McKenzie have BOTH BEEN ISSUES, and McKenzie made another bad decision today and almost fumbled one as well. I suggested putting hyde back therefrom now on because punt returns have little chance to do anything but bad! Penalties, at least by the Bills happen at a 50% rate. See today! Put azure handed guy just so the ball doesn’t bounce losing more yardage, run with it if mo one is around, but otherwise just secure it and save yards ! That’s exactly what Mcd did today! Good for him. Doubt we see. Mckenzie or Stevenson any further returning kicks. Just too many negatives. Hyde worked well. We even blocked our first punt but Dabolls vanilla offense blew the turnover with a 3 and out , at least no points. Those things need cleared up. For all the talk of complimentary football, they really are getting nothing pit of pint special teams. A At least with Hyde you have a guy who handles pressure and won’t be likely to cost yards by not catching the ball and is unlikely to fumble with fair catches. Smart move as today the rules on holding, blocking in the bsck are ruining the return game. Field it safely, start your o there and not 10-15 yards further back because of penalties! I liked Roberts , tho he helped cost us the Titans gams last year. Hyde is the best option now!

Really , being a “ content creator” for a year or two on YouTube makes you believe these people appeal to a larger audience? Most are just covering their own home teams and I’m sorry but 99% while funny or somewhat entertaining, are amateurs especially when compared to the years of experience , training that goes into actual color commentators. Most content creators barely speak correct English and most are just biased fan boys. A great deal just rant while eating or drinking during their “ content” and I have seen their so called “ interview” of players! They are questions lacking depth and they don’t challenge players because they first are “ fans” and second, players don’t take them seriously because they are not getting paid or great exposure and if a players performance is challenged, might as well say goodbye to any more access. Players do interviews under contract demands with the NFL AND NFLPA. Most content provider interviews are a joke as they draw interest narrowly from home team fans . Can some evaluate Film well, certainly , but who says it’s correct analysis and who says they can do it under time constraints and the pressure of millions of viewers. I have seen just about about every bills content YouTube provider and while they know the home team and appeal to a “ homer “ audience, remember , it’s a job being knowledgeable about the ENTIRE LEAGUE! It’s insulting to think those already on have not paid their dues with years of playing and then traing before they go on for any long period. Just see Kelly , Tasksr, guys who were great plAysrs but compare their talent to a rarity like Romo ! There is a reason the players START with a broadcasting camp now just to help get them started in that direction. It’s hard and requires talents few possess. it’s like a surgery resident explaining a surgery , they can do it very well on a small scale. That doesn’t suddenly give them so much ability, validity and confidence that they can handle a kidney transplant while a hundred students, professors, surgical equipment providers , and urologists who specialize in transplants , along with families and payors watching and critiquing , would perform adequately! Maybe 1-2 out of a hundred would handle the pressure , but most couldn’t. The good ones make it look easy , but don’t be foolish, it’s not and requires years of training and skill to be good and the competition gets more intense at each level. Most content providers I would bet csnt even make it on their local TV sports broadcasts. People do get degrees in broadcasting ; I would bet just from watching their work , most are not even journalists or college grads! There are a few very interesting guys but honestly, they are far from professionals. Not saying they couldn’t be with time and training , but the majority by far ARE NOT SPORTS journalists already for a reason. Most content providers have about 500 -1 k viewers at any given time. Again, most appeal to their home team fans as they have time to just focus on One team and their audience is usually highly biased toward that team! Hey , let them start out like everybody , break down film for the tv people on a home network, and then work their way up. Lets see them not freeze under pressure. YouTube is not national tv! You’re comparing high school to PH.D.type levels. There is no rambling , must speak clearly and succinctly, and it’s not just throwing out film breakdown, you have to be appealing to the camera, sponsors, and across a national audience! If it was so easy there would be thousands of YouTube channels with a million subscribers or videos with millions of views; remember the NFL is the most popular sport , most successful sport in the USA , so it should be easy to draw millions if views , right? If they are making a 5 figure , 6 figure income on YouTube , why is this a part time job for the vast majority? Its a great resource for die hard fans. If they deserve the exposure you want to give them , they will be good enough and prove it and earn that national exposure. Are there poor color analysts , of course. The majority of those don’t last. Are there some great content providers , sure. If they are that good , they will be noticed. The vast majority tho are local market , with a very biased fandom. Those color guys on networks are under tremendous scrutiny. It’s like a mom saying her kid will be a great Major League Baseball player because he was good on his little league team! How many actually make it that far!? The competition is fierce and only intensifies with easy level. Hey , division 3 football players are there for a reason and not on full rides at div one schools! It’s that way with every career. Enjoy the “ content” providers for what they are; part time enthusiasts who have great passion. That doesn’t make them a national broadcaster with large appeal! Try it and see in your own field of passion! There are few Rogans or mcafees out there! Good luck!

Watching kc win this in a fluke type fashion is painful. Especially knowing the Bills are 0-5 in one possession games and lost to the damn jags and a team who threw 3 / completed one pass! That’s what really makes me feel bad. The 90 teams usually controlled their own destiny, while we lost to a team with 2 wins and lost at home with terrible play calling and mistakes. We should have been better! Had the talent to be. Still Sanders and Starr have been mostly disappointments this year. We have hit on Diggs , Morse, and not much else that stands out in free agency. Wish we had Ingram over any of our additions this year on the D. Our front office get obada and guys like butler. Everybody has watched hughes be an almost complete non factor this year. Basham sitting on the bench a majority of the time. You watch things like this , see a vet like Ingram who was on the waiver wire, while our top rusher has maybe 5 sacks in a 17 game season , and it points out how front office decisions are so important. Beane , so far, is no Polian! He is predominantly living off his one big hit , Josh! ( Tre was a good pick but dbs don’t have the influence like a qb }. Chiefs kept staying active signing guys and we sat still ! That one signing now has the Chefs still poised to grab tithe 1 seed! Imho , Beane saw our weaknesses and at mid season passively sat still. This is a year to optimize a run when Josh was still on his initial contract. Little things add up. Very very talented qb, and we almost sat still supporting him with a 34 year old receiver, and did nothing to add to competition for our anemic running attack ! ( will give credit for finding Nrown , but hat o line has overall been less than average) So hopefully we can still take the east , yet the goal was supposed to be the super bowl. Still possible , but seems even more challenging than last year as oir GM rode the same o line and rolled the dice with two rookie dl early picks! Meanwhile, Our d lacks nastiness with the Frazier personality of bend but hope not to break mantra ! Stats are one thing , but big chunk plays and that memory losing to the Bucs when the d needed to make one final stand still lingers. Reed mentioned, no Talley , no biscuit, no Bruce, no great pass rushers or leaders really on this D. Edmunds is a good guy but not an emotional leader. We are the ultimate no name d , and we could have used a guy with credentials like Ingram for THIS YEARS DRIVE! It’s is amazing the Steelers can find guys capable of 22 sacks , while we rarely get more than a few pressures. It’s finally time to see where we really stand as there is no more time to hear about we will clean that up ater we view the film. Final judgement time about the roster has arrived and I hope it actually has come together. If not those decisions to sit stand pat will finally show our managements ability 5 years in when in todays NFL , 5 years is a seldom seen luxury., more like an eternity! Bad coaching ,,,,, Fangio going for the fg proved to be the terrible call we all saw coming. Many called it here. Fangio with classic conservative playcalling there. Hopefully Mcd has gotten past that for the play off run! Todays result is a good lesson , play less than aggressive and it sends you packing. Tomorrows jets game is our last chance to view our readiness to make a deep run or clue us into lowering expectations for a team many thought would be a dominant AFC force. It will really tell us the outcomes of continuity of the coaching staff and if all is good , give us hope, confidence , and the final boost heading into our most hyped SB run since the 90’s! Let’s hope the Bills show up to dominate a rookie Qb led team and there is no doubt we are finally peaking at the right time! Let’s go Buffalo ! We were so close to grabbing that second seed , yet this year instead of a Dalton td helping us, an Ingram FF looks like similar things in this season , a last second collapse locking us out of the second seed.

Wow that was a dangerous throw. Broncos have outplayed the chefs in this game really Dam fluke play. Would not kick it here ,,,,why?

Pretty prophetic whoever said the chiefs go and get the two point conversion. Unfortunate broncos didn’t do their part and score 7 first. Now I really wish we had gone after Ingram. So many said he had nothing left. More than our edge rushers do!

Great points. They are playing really well and very confident. That’s a tough matchup and a healthy titans match up in Nashville where heartbreak happens to us are two rough matchups for us. Only thing is if we can somehow jump the bengals ( unkekely they lose to the browns tho) , and get them in that windy bills stadium , we might have an advantage. But you are right. Those games we will miss Tre. That bengals receiving corp is playing lkke the best in the league now and Burrow is no mac jones, he has the powerful and accurate arm to kill you with time. Only hope is if he is a little less mobile and we somehow can get some pressure. But we don’t have dbs that can match their size or athleticism high pointing balls. Wallace still with issues turning his head , Jackson and Wallace also not as speedy. We do have two good safteys tho who can help. But that leaves our front 7 to stop mixon and burrow running. Just seems like this year if our O doesn’t get out in front early , AND KEEP PLAYING WITH URGENCY WITH NO LULLS, we are vulnerable to each playoff team in different ways. But against the running teams you can bring a guy up or add a a Lb. With the balanced Bengals , we can only hope inexperience on their part and our prior history is a factor. If Henry who is a straight line runner is back to almost normal , he and Brown have been issues for us. Hopefully Frazier doesn’t let Brown stay singled and kill us like the prior two losses to the titans. This drive for the super bowl is on Josh and Daboll. If we don’t become one dimensional and Josh stays away from the negative hero ball , we have an actual chance. We just have to score in the high 20’s to 30s ..anything less and the d seems to fold to the pressure. Can’t have any first half Falcon performances now or we will go home and it’s sad to think about that. Have loved watching them all year , even the stinkers against the jags and colts. Who knows how the roster will look next year and that’s such a long way off! 😀 If the o is on, we can compete with anyone. That first half falcon performance repeated and we are heading home

Just like they said at half , they are not interested in tackling today. Shows they expected o to run this broncos team over.

Yep. Playoff games are different with pressure really turned up. As long as the wind is not outrageous we have an advantage. Plus it was nit on Josh, the playcalling by Daboll was terrible that pats game. Horrendous! Should we play the pats.with oit those gusts , Josh will take over and max will flounder. Josh and the bills played down to the falcons the cirs5 half and then turned it on. Hard to been razor sharp every game , esp against a dud falcon team. That won’t happen in the playoffs. Experience is so huge in the playoffs. We know how it feels to win but also we really know the feeling to lose in the playoffs. This is what the Bills have been waiting for the entire year despite all the each game is just another game line! Not true for playoff games ! Those 90 bills teams lost a couple years first and then that experience took over. Rarely does a team with a qb with little or no playoff experience go deep into the playoffs. We want these games ar home with as much as possible. Andre Reed was saying it’s a big plus at home. Just not traveling is a FACTOR for more rest. boy hasselback called now screens would defeat this d at the halftime analysis on espn. Good call wrex was just sahimv how flat kc was and was being outcoached. He should know being an expert at being outcoached. But playoff games at home with that crowd are crucial. Let’s just hope the Bills don’t start out flat tomorrow and take the jets seriously. This is for the east and to hurt the pats. That has to be motivating ! Let s hope we don’t see a falcons first half repeat If the Chiefs somehow lose , the Bills should be really motivated ! We will see how Josh plays with the east on the line! If they lose to the jets , I would not be very confident against the pats. You want to win going in ! That chiefs d is def different with Ingram ( whom we shoikd have gone after ) and Jon’s inside. Thise guys didn’t play against us the first gsme Would rather play them in BLo than arrowhead.

Thet could but it’s not that important to them I believe. As keepin burrow healthy against mayfield less browns. Unlikely Keenan will beat bengals. 2 or 3 seed nota great diff to risk burrow. We win , they lose , they still stay 3 seed. Chiefs drop to 4 th I believe I saw. Just going by scenarios I have seen. However, so many , it’s still confusing.

If they and bengals lose we get second seed!

Aren’t tickets going for 8$ for this game ?! I agree , hold out for a suite , with buffet and catering ! Man , shoveling snow was one reason I left Ohio after growing up there ! Miserable, heart attack inducing labor paying 15$ an hour while teachers are refusing live teaching because “ the ventilation is not adequate”! Get some of them out there ( not a teacher hater , my sister is one and my family has sponsored a yearly scholarship for kids in my hometown going into either teaching or medicine) to “ experience great ventilation “ , and let’s see how quickly they appreciate their poorly ventilated , indoor jobs! Lol ! ( Sometimes people need perspective !) Man, in all sincerity that is tough work, and in a billion $ industry , it’ should be a little embarrassing to offer minimum wage for any NFL. associated work. Hey, give everybody leaf or snow blowers for fun to use and every one who helps deserves free game tickets. Let some people ( kids, college kids etc) who normally can’t afford NFL tickets see a live game ! Come on NFL, do the right thing ; if you need community support why not show the community love in return ?! Pay the people! Lol! That stadium pic looks beautiful ! I miss that pristine snow look, just hated driving , working in it!

Great points. Rodgers continues to prove he thinks he is smarter, above others , and that he is deserving of being treated differently. All of his actions are consistent with what’s important to Rodgers and how he wants to be placed on a pedestal , all of which shows he is NOT worried so much about team as he is worried about himself and a really meaningless award! It’s a team sport , he is going to be voted MVP anyhow , so why personally attack a reporter over one vote ( btw this guy has been around longer than Rodgers and has contributed to good publications that helped promote the NFL to get to the popularity it has now. )? Rodgers is so worried about perception yet he continues the exact behavior he has become well known for , arrogance and selfishness. Do any of us believe if Josh was about to be voted MVP, but just one vote went against him , he would have gone on a nationally televised rant!? No, because Josh and his actions are about team and team goals ! He hasn’t even mentioned not getting placed on the pro bowl roster once unless asked to respond! Why, because it’s not the TEAMs main goal or potential honor. Rodgers, tho, sees it as just unfathomable that some one could not see how IMPORTANT he is ! He continues to be a joke and parody of what TEAM is about. You made a great point about him using his celebrity to promote “ his own interpretation “ of the science stating he did so much research and consulted with “ his team “ of experts about the vaccine. Well , that’s just Bs as true science has proven the effectiveness of the vaccine against serious illness. I have stated this several times , it’s an individual choice medically , so His football celebrity does not make his “ research “ or his “ expert” consultants any more valid or correct than your own well trained doctor , as he continues pushing his own opinion as dogma to rationalize his deceptive speech and actions he later apologized for. All the awards have “ political “ nuances associated with them. See pro bowl voting , see HaLL of FAME VOTING, etc, so why is it any surprise someone chose more issues than just play on the field as a factor for him in his voting? The only non political thing in football is the final winner of a game or of the Super Bowl. The final score is not political or subjective. Why is the self - absorbed genius so offended and surprised by this and why is it worth becoming such a distraction to the team ranting about an individual award!? Because its never been about team with him ( as he held the team at ransom or in doubt about his availability all preseason), it’s just consistent behavior that he has to be seen in the same terms as Peyton with 4 mvp awards and he is appalled not everyone is willing to praise and adorn him as if it’s his right. The irony is incredible; he states the guy is a “bum “ and he “ doesn’t know me” and “ his vote should be taken away” ! Just about every negative , nasty thing he could come up with , and remember, this is from a guy WINNING the award and is just upset its not unanimous! A few seconds later when asked if Rodgers knows the voter personally , He stated NO , I have no idea who he is. There it is , Rodgers chastising the voter for not knowing Rodgers personally ( as if that would change the guys reasons for his vote , esp give Rodgers charm!), all while wanting his voting ability stripped etc , yet never having met Hub or knowing him personally. The Rodgers Rule , just like his prophetic State Farm rate commercials ! Any guy who was dating Danica Patrick and manages to mess that up, is just adding more fuel to the fire all the time ; I don’t know him personally but I am voting he is an ASS, just as much as he might be MVP! 😀😉

When a guy jams your receiver ( called or not) , when a guy jumps up and tips your qbs pass that is not luck. It’s skills they practice. I bet you didn’t call groots deflected pass and int against the Chiefs “ luck” but probably praised him for making a good play ! ( which it was , it it’s luck then practice , skill mean nothing , right , by definition?) Just saying , you might be biased! Lol! Josh had a bad game passing ; threw balls that were tipped while being 6’5” suggesting he needs work in that area perhaps? He threw balls in cold weather that were so hard at times Diggs was seen shaking his hands ( but the pass in between two defenders he completed needed that type of heat !) The ball deflected in the red zone / end zone was just a terrible decision. It took possible points away and he has lost points several times getting sacks at bad times by his own admission ( “ I can’t do that”) ! just saying, 4 years in its time to cut those mistakes he repeatedly says post game he can’t do ! When a type of error keeps recurring, that’s a pattern , and luck does not come in patterns! Lol! Love the guy and his passion. Doesn’t mean he is beyond criticism and that is unfair to expect less ints ( esp against a terrible team like the Falcons). Practice doesn’t make you perfect , perfect practice makes you perfect ! ( Marv Levy) Nothing in there about luck making you better ! Josh did not throw the ball well often that game. Time to cut the mistakes or the Bills will go home soon. If they are depending on good luck to advance,,,,,well,,,,,good luck !

I think that’s the bottom line. I’ve heard every reason you can imagine; kind of absurd to think a team is going to allow deep throws , esp since the wind was not a factor at 8 mph; one podcast said his GF and he had a large contingent of family present and she was posting quite a bit about them being there, suggesting he was playing to “ impress”, lol ; another video podcast “ content provider” ( guess that makes them experts compared to us non - content providers) said it was just bad luck, a former Bills player said that! ( if it’s just luck then I guess scheme, practice , talent , are irrelevant). It just proves it’s multi factorial, and there is no one definitive cause or solution ! Josh simply had a bad game, was making decisions that AT TIMES WERE BAD, and heaven forbid, but it’s possible the professional Falcons made some good plays and made some hits resulting in turnovers! Josh has been amazing the majority of the year and The Bills only go as far as his talent and play can take them , because RIGHT NOW there are NO OTHER SUPERSTARS on this team capable of taking over a game at positions like RB, DB, DE, DT, TE, OR WR based on stats compared across the league other than Josh ( Diggs is very good but his career year was last year so far and there are several receivers with more catches , tds, yards). Compare to the 90’s roster with several Hof players ( and perhaps more deserving to be) , a HOF COACH, HOF GM, and it’s easy to see the team results are likely to fluctuate, and the NFL now with a salary cap and free agency is designed to be that way. Josh is the driving force and as one NFL expert has said , the Bills are THE MOST QB CENTRIC TEAM in the NFL. So at this point , if Josh has more 3 pick games ( luck, whatever) , stats show you are most likely to lose those games ( assuming a t-o deficit) regardless of the reason. He didn’t self correct as another posted ; the play calling and success of the running game put the passing game on hold , and we had 4 rushing tds on Sunday. Josh was a good part of that running game, and deserves credit for that. However, based on two seasons , if the ball was not handed to motor with other running plays, we might have had more of the first half where we went in losing 15-14! It just proves, it’s better to be a two dimensional team, not necessarily balanced , but able to adapt and change if needed. That’s the take away message from that game. Josh should learn from that game, it’s possible to win trusting others to help He has had prior games where he forced things, hero ball in a negative way came out. It’s 4 almost 5 years as a pro now so it’s fair to expect that Type of forced play to really tail off. Even the GOAT , BRADY, does accept help with a running game and is known for taking what the d gives. We got away with. 3 int , one fumble, the d scoring against us. I would bet that we lose similar type games in the future and I hope the team , and Josh, clean that up as we enter the lose and go home time of the year. Time for players and staff to be at their top form with 5 years together. It’s a result based league, getting into the playoffs 4/5 years is a great achievement, and it’s time to hope for the final step. If you don’t get deeper into the playoffs after 5 years of staff continuity, it’s a failed year and it might be good with change at some jobs like, OC/dc etc.

Sanchez wasn’t terrible. We have been exposed to worse like Charles Davis continuing the same cliches he spies in madden , Collinsworth , who yesterday said the Bills could not get the 1 seed because of the “ loss at KC” , while the Bengals still can get it! Given those performances , Sanchez was pretty benign.

I Apologize, it’s easy to take things out of context on a board etc! Was just commenting about no concern thinking it was a reference to the present. I agree about Allen. Great qb, great potential. He still needs to grow , and frankly is making some mistakes that in his 4 th year I at least hoped as a fan we would not continue to see. He plays, I hope, to win a SB , and to get to that next level given his talent, it’s eventually going to become not acceptable to keep throwing out excuses like “ they get paid too”, “ I can’t do that “ over and over. He is a quarter billion $ qb now, and continuing to force throws when we have seen him capable of better , is not a time to keep. Repeating rookie like mistakes. Just saying , usually you are not going to win many playoff games , let alone a SB , with performances like yesterdays. Love the guy, glad he is the Bills franchise qb. Progress is never just a given tho ; at some point you do have to actually perform better. For example, would you keep going to a medical student for your care or do you eventually expect them to graduate, become an md, get a real license and be responsible for quality results ? At some point you can’t keep saying , well I can’t keep missing that diagnosis ! Lol! At some point excuses don’t cut it as you’re trained,, expected to be accurate, and you are held accountable! That’s life man! In that environment it’s a thing; see one, do one, teach one! So as smart as someone might be , at some point you can’t make student mistakes. Josh is so, so gifted, it’s time to expect results compatible with talent and experience. Everybody has bad days tho! Been a less successful reg season for him just looking at ints and W’s. Hey, it’s just a game, and who cares really( but watching crazy obsessed fans at times makes you worry for them) It has no effect on real life. Just saying , someone thinks it’s worth much $, so I would think someone is going to have real expectations or you may not actually get all that $ right!? There are not many careers where just hope and words are the final expected product ! Lol. 😀🍸 Been a Bills fan since ‘63, so it’s an enjoyable hobby/ pass-time for me. Josh is a quality person, hope the best for him!

If you have an offense that at some point can give up a lead to a team like the falcons who had no playmakers( Pitts was oit second half) , can go dry and lose to a team like the jags ( as the pats hang 50 on them with a rookie Qb) , actually has had quite a few tipped balls this year , and has had a few terrible home games already ( colts) , and you see no reason for any concern , you are indeed a glass is more than half full type of guy! Lol! Not a bad thing.! Just saying, we have struggled to win three in a row the second half of the season and will need 4 wins to get a SB title and our d still might have to face Henry on the road and Bb at home just to get that far! I am a little more cautious this year than last year. An impressive full game against the jets without all the turnovers would go a long way to setting up the teams confidence and focus as we enter that important run ! I really hope we see that and not a presser with Josh still explaining “ what he can’t do “! 😊🍸

Good points but let’s not forget the falcons role in is coming back. Pitts was out the second half , the head coach pulls an all time dummy move punting from our 32! Then to top it off Ryan gets called for taunting when he in all honesty should have had a td if he didn’t slide a Half yard tooo early. We caught lots of breaks in the second half. Not many teams win a 4 turnover game with giving up a defensive score. The odds were very stacked against us winning which , let’s hope is the low point of the season for our qb play. If we were playing any competent team , like the playoff teams , we don’t win that game. Without that taunting call it’s a one possession game and anything could happen. Motor finally chose this game to have a 100 yard game , first in two years! Lol, it was the worst of times , it was the best of times! I am not sure Allen bailed himself out completely ; he did run the ball well but Daboll finally realized that running the ball with a back is legal and took the ball oit of Allens hands with the runs by motor and moss. Allen is a great player but at times he just almost refuses to allow other other playmakers to be a part of the action. It’s like him taking that ball from mckenzie yesterday., he made the first down but it was very close to a fumble as well. He joked about his reticence to hand the ball off during the post game presser , but if we are honest with ourselves, 17-18 turnovers in a year is hard to ignore from your franchise qb. It’s been an up and down season and now we hit the time of year where the consistent team will likely keep moving ahead. I hope its us, yet how many times do we keep hearing from Josh, “ I can’t do that” postgame !? it’s year 4 and we still see what he “can’t do” a little too often. Kelly had some pretty bad games at times but he was surrounded by HOF guys on both sides of the ball and he got the ball to Reed , Thurman , et Al. Josh needs that support , and needs to use what he has now a little more effectively. Great season with making the playoffs , but now it’s about winning a SB as we are past just making an appearance postseason! 😊

Yep , a dual threat back who can catch over his shoulder would be amazing ! Josh’s int spree would come to an end with a true receiving rb threat. Thurman was the prototype ! Motor has to turn and come to a stop to catch. Loses so much yac that way. Josh also has to quit fighting his own guys for Attempts lkke he did with McKenzie yesterday. Really he is amazing but that hero mode , just like it can win games , can also lose games when he keeps forcing things.

Happy to see motors progress but remember it came against a 31 st ranked ATL D ! I hope it doesn’t dissuade Beane from taking someone like Harris if available next year , unless we go on a tear with motor repeating the 100 yard game achievements during the playoffs! My fear is that either Daboll or good Defenses make that run game disappear during the playoffs.

Well there is your nasty run of the weekend! Man I would have loved Harris with Allen. How about that backfield coming at you! Talk about business decision!

Ben is such a “ changed” good guy, he just did that to encourage the Browns to show up after half, keep it close like a cat toying with a mouse! Plus he gets a cut of the dbs bonus $ for ints !

Yes. Allen had a ac separation I believe. That’s a partial tear of a ligament , soft tissue type injury. Did not ever need surgery. Baker has a torn labrum which is cartilage type tissue. AND it tore a fragment of bone that is loose to be trapped as the humerus rotates ! Imagine pinching that between the scapula , where it sits , and the humeral head with any rotation of the round head of the humerus ( long bone of upper arm) ! Very painful. Got to say guy is tough plying thru that!

I don’t think he can worsen the main injury as surgery already planned. If you pull him when he wants to play in a historic game , Ben’s last home game, maybe sends a signal that is counter to the culture. Plus they have bonus $ at stake etc. I don’t know, can’t get in head coach s head, but season isn’t over till next week and they get lots of $ to play & obviously all the guys at this level are super competitive and don’t quit easily. It’s like seeing surgery residents going into pyramid programs where they start with more guys than positions available at the end of the 5 year residency ! Those are super competitive people , from high school, to college, to Med school , to residency ; the competition keeps ramping up and super competitive people are selected! I imagine same process to get to be a pro player. MOST, with exception of STARR , want to always play ! Lol! 😂
