Just in Atlanta

I agree with that. It did seem Josh had an OK amount of time last night and took a long time to release the ball. The play design overall seems vanilla, which is odd, because fans often say Daboll tries to outsmart everyone.

No. 1 in least yards allowed. No. 1 for least points against. No. 4 in turnovers. Despite the whining about this defense being soft, we just held the Patriots to one touchdown. That one TD was a run in which Poyer overcommitted to one side. This defense is actually historically good in a number of ways, with a penchant for getting pushed a bit by power run teams. We should have smacked the Patriots by 14 points easily. Mac Jones threw three passes. The Bills are simply way more talented. And, yet, we got whipped by a team we knew was going to run and we couldn't score in the redone save one time. The problem clearly is the offense. I watch Josh in the pocket and he amazes. Stands tall. Solid mechanics. Makes any throw. Escapability. Grit. Passion. Size. And physical toughness. He literally has it all. We have a tendency to romanticize last year. There were rough spots for sure. But most games this offense was a damn video game. It was historic. This was at least in part thanks to the now-maligned Daboll. This year, we have: A top 3 WR1 in Diggs - such an instinctive natural receiver. He's Randy Moss-esque. A top 3 slot receiver: Beasley just gets open. He catches everything. And he fights for the YAC. But, yes, watching McDaniels/Belichick call runs compared to us is night and day. And we have no rhythm, no push, we struggle in the red zone, and I have no faith we'll find any magic when we're down in the 4th. That last one is the biggest bummer. So, what's changed? And how can we improve this so we can at least make a Wild Card? --- PS: Please no vapid "Fire Daboll / McD sucks" comments and please offer an actual fix. (EDIT)

Three passes

$10 it’s fake

Fake injury?

Finish off these jokers

This is what a quarterback does. Mac Jones is not a quarterback. He’s a chess piece.

Cmon dudes

This sucks Do you know what they’re going to call play it man

Something tells me they’re going to call a run

This is ridiculous Time to explode Air it out

Mac Jones with one pass They may not call another one all game this is insane

Bad drive.

PUNCH IT!

That hold on Spencer Brown was bull####

Oh stop it

I guess we don’t believe in playing safeties in bad weather

I hate it when Daboll fumbles the ball

Breaida alligator-armed it in the pile after the fumble

I don’t know about quarterback numbers but these things might* make me cry: Bonnie Raitt’s I Can’t Make You Love Me Terms of Endearment The Bills winning the Super Bowl

It's a lot more logical to believe there were two shooters than some widespread scheme to fix the entire sport of football.

Some numbers: 121 officials, seven per game, 272 regular season games, 1,800 NFL employees. 96 million views, last season's Super Bowl was down but still the No. 1 sports event draw. $15.3 billion - 2019 revenue, by far the biggest sports draw in the country. The NFL has steadily increased revenue every year since 2001, with a logical drop in 2020 due to the pandemic. While human nature is human nature — I'm sure there is some bad behavior on an isolated scale — but what would happen to this goldmine if widespread game fixing was unearthed? It would more than likely be a tremendous blow to the millions of fans everywhere. Conspiracies take three things to succeed. A compelling reason to start a conspiracy. A high number of competent conspirators. An ability to keep said conspiracy under wraps 365 days a year in a world where everything is leaked. While it is appealing to see Belichick vs. Brady, my instincts say fans want something different. "Anybody but the Patriots". Once one's head is wrapped around a conspiracy, logic and fact will rarely persuade. It's easy to see trends that favor a massive plot and even easier to ignore trends pointing against it. It's why we, as fans, regardless of team, believe the refs are against us. Conspiracies are easy to believe in. And they're near impossible to pull off.

We are the media.
