Headline - COACH AND PLAYER TALK DURING GAME

I got a sick feeling when the CBS broadcast prematurely updated our record to 7-3 and then that scary onsides kick happened. Guess it's the Browns who are worse hard luck losers than us so the fates allowed us out of it.

He's just not quite like other humans, even other NFL players. Kind of like Giannis in the NBA.

No meaningful evaluations can be made based on one game.

KC has a similarly bad loss to the Colts on their resume and we have the tiebreaker against them. Why do you think they have the advantage?

Yep. I can try to hunt it down but I read that we averaged 6.0 men in the box in the first half and 6.1 in the second half.

Oh yeah FFS, I've seen so many takes around here that the Bills may be in for a trap game because the fans aren't taking an opponent seriously enough.

I feel like Motor is a Schrodinger's RB. He might be a complete JAG who gets scraps of yards because defenses focus on Josh or he might be really good but playing in an offense that has no reason to feature a RB of any kind because we have the ultimate weapon.

Agreed on Moss. Singletary may not exactly have a nose for the end zone but if he wasn't playing with Allen the epic TD vulture he'd have quite a few more than 11. 4.7 YPC over 4 seasons is not too shabby. He's a plus member of the team, though granted not plus plus.

I really wouldn't describe Singletary's tenure here as a struggle.

JInxes aren't real.

I think he was trying too hard to be Ryan Bates and forgot to be Rick Bates. In the words of Mufasa, “Remember who you are.”

It’s really hard to do what he does, simultaneously being the unquestioned leader and just one of the guys, all while not appearing to intentionally cultivate either persona.

Those make me think of that awful game against the Jets during the Rex Ryan era where we won a war of attrition and he was acting like it was the SB because of the whole revenge game aspect.

Yarp. Gorgeous hockey though!

Sabres won tonight with the white on white alts plus the return of the goathead.

Well of course it's homerism! 😎

Frazier was putting 6 men in the box and letting them run. In games where we focused on stopping the run, like against the Titans and Henry, we stopped the run. That Packers game included we allow the 4th fewest rushing yards per game. It's not a weakness.

Our DL might be the best unit in the NFL (mind you, not the best DL unit, THE BEST UNIT). Beane took a couple great first rounders in Oliver and Rousseau and then added a hugely overlooked Daquan Jones, diamond in the rough Tim Settle, infectiously personable Jordan Phillips (who just seems destined for a huge sack in the playoffs, right?)...and oh by the way first ballot hall of famer Von Miller who still plays like a 25 year old.

Bills 28 Jets 6

Dolphins are living rent free in some of your heads after a week 3 loss in which we dominated everything but the scoreboard and then proceeded to win the next 4 games and counting. Does Chubb make them better? Absolutely. But I am 100% fine with them spending their cache of draft picks in a vain attempt to catch us.

Oh absolutely, not much to do. I misinterpreted the spirit of what you said.

I think it’s worth caring about a little. Tens of thousands of people die every year because of others’ reckless behavior on the road.

The f-up is the action they take, though, not the result right? You drive irresponsibly and you either get lucky or unlucky. The morality isn’t predicated on the luck.

Well let's see - Brandon Beane is only the architect of what can fairly be called the current best franchise in the NFL, perhaps in American sports when they win the Lombardi. So whatever trades he decides to make or not make I'm going to be on board.
