Ahhh, the Dave Wannstedt days...

Tannehill looks like Josh v. Dallas last year.

Still time on the clock. Can we wait for it to read 0:00 before we start talking about the season?

First off, let’s go baby! Second, it’s been difficult to get any momentum after allowing TN to convert 3 and 19. Points here would be money. Settle down at the half.

We’ve invested a lot of draft capital and $$$ for this to be happening 5 weeks in a row.

I get we are injured, but this D is running on 2019 hype.

Yeldon has been fine.

Interesting Feeley mentioned the two misses as bad holds. Then Bojo goes ahead with another laces in hold. Can Barkley not hold?

It’s time to sit Knox for a bit.

I’ll be happy if we get out of this one with a W. Missing CB1 and CB2.5, OLB1, RB2. WR2. Jerked around by the league against a fired up Titans team who “thinks” they’re unnecessary villains. Gonna be a good one guys!

yes and no. They did win a SB last year....

You mean sign Fitz? Seems to be part of his cycle these days.

Chargers seem like they might be a sneaky good team. Reminds me of some of the draught teams that ruin seedlings or playoff births for good teams with some losses. I would put Miami in that category too.

I kinda like them. Maybe go powder blue bottoms. But I dig it at the moment.

Is it just me or does Justin Herbert have a super punchable face?

You might be right. I would agree McD runs a tight and detailed ship, so I can’t imagine there is a “no rules” portion for his Covid-QB. It’s just a dumb thing to say. I am sure there is more color to it than what he is saying. But given the cases recently across the league and that they are playing the Tennessee Covids, it’s just terrible optics.

I thought this was a bad quote from him. Dangerous to say "there's no rules or anything" in regards to COVID protocol. For a guy who is spending so much time with a PR guy, he really is not picking up much is he?

That is what I was implying. I was agreeing with your point. Good team losing more than 4-ish games per year has about the same win percentage after a loss as they do on any other Sunday.

That is fair. Just tried looking up some numbers on it, and most what I found was Pats specific. But I would assume that is the same for a team who wins 12ish games in a season. Pats Brady/BB have only a slightly higher win % after a loss as they do .776 vs. .766.

Our perception doesn't matter. If the team is feeling like they are being persecuted (whether real or perceived) is then the emotions are real for them. It is a classic use of the Thomas Theorem, loosely quotes as, "If men define a situation as real, they are real in their consequences". Fans, media, opponents, etc. feeling/emotions are irrelevant. The Bills may very well be jacked up after feeling like they have been jerked around, but these are mutually exclusive and can both be true at the same time. The Bills could also be flat from feeling like they could not focus on anything this week.

I don't think this is so crazy/funny or offensive as some people have taken it. The team is trying to find an edge, as teams do in any situation, and they will look for more when their backs are against the wall. If it works for them, good for them.

Not that I think the Bills need an injury to win, but I do think injuries change some things. We will see what happens with Osemele and Watkins.

As the season went on I had a good feeling about the Bills being competitive in this game. At first when the Raiders beat the Chiefs, I was psyched because it means we had a better chance than we did a week or two ago. Then I sat with it and realized that good teams rarely lose twice in a row. I think the Chiefs losing this week makes the next one a bit less probable. ...Or maybe I just need to shake of the 2000's from my memory.

I will be curious of the results of this. Titans are a terrible test subject since there is no control and everything is a variable. But if the Bills like the way it has turned out over the course of the Titans and KC game I am curious if it becomes part of the tool bag in prepping for Jets/Pats, 49er/Steelers, etc. You see this in some other sports...kind of. You may take the start of practice for 15 minutes, to work on something really explosive, because it is physiologically accurate. It might make sense to open practice with a single key concept for a game in 2 weeks and start getting the body used to it. Then spend the other 85% of practice prepping the current week. I could see it with mobile QB's. Every day you work on a key concept to help contain your upcoming mobile QB opponent. Mahomes, Lamar, Cam, Murray, etc. All on the schedule this year. All will require something a little different, but it is still at the base of the start of every practice. Containing a mobile QB. Just spit balling here.

God, I hope we don’t keep kicking this Titans can down the road. I think that is a trash decision. I am really glad they pushed KC back and locked it in. I think we all needed that.
