That sucked

God, another three+ hours of Cris Collinsworth...

Pretty good day in the league, so far.

Please, Denver, please, Denver, please, Denver, please...

I almost want the Dolphins to win this game. They need to have a mediocre, middling season-- like the Bills in the drought years. I don't want to see them with any high draft picks. Still, it's fun to see them blow a 17-0 lead.

The Bills almost lost because of me! And they're probably going to lose to the Pats* because of me! EDIT: I won't say why. That would only compound the hex.

You can see athletic tape on his injured left ankle. And he seems to be walking differently on it. I can't tell if that slight limp is from the tape or the injury.

To me it also looks like he isn't walking on the injured foot the same as he is the other. I assume there's some athletic tape involved, but my general takeaway would be not 100%.

I have a hard time believing that he didn’t completely tear his ACL, and I also have a hard time believing that the surgery he just had was to repair an ACL. They want all the swelling down, and range of motion restored before doing that surgery— three weeks would be rushing it. Two days would be very unlikely, it seems to me. But I’m no doctor. But why make up a story? It doesn’t seem like they’re being straight.

I posted this link in the game thread. It's pretty brutal, and his NFL career does appear to be over. Personal issues aside, there was never any denying his talent.

Don't know how much of this has been posted. Here is an in-depth explanation of what likely happened to Tyreek Hill. It looks like his career in the NFL is over.

It's unrealistic to expect Coleman to have anywhere near the contested catch rate he had in college. To my eyes, the biggest improvement we've seen from Keon is his ability to get open, and get separation-- something some on here have said he would never do. Four games into the season, he has a 77.3% completion rate on 22 targets. Comparing that to his '24 rate of 43.9%, I'd say he's made some serious improvements in his game.

This offense has scored on their first possession in all four games this season. This defense needs to get better. I believe they will. I do believe McD used the perceived weakness of the Saints as an opportunity to see where they were with Samuel, and how useful he might be going forward. And I wonder what their conclusions are? I don't see Samuel as a better returner than Codrington. The Saints have (apparently) been abysmal on special teams. As a one-game sample, it's hard to read too far into his numbers. And i'm not sure he offers anything more than Moore does as a WR. He had a nice third down conversion, and a third down miss. But McD/Beane may feel differently. I thought Van Demark played admirably, and was fine in pass pro. I have faith in the depth of the O-line, but against a better defense, I think Brown would have been sorely missed, especially in the run game. Ty Johnson had an incredible '24 season. He made incredible plays every game, especially receiving. What happened? Why has his production fallen so far off? Cole Bishop is really developing into a quality starter. He's gotten better each game-- and I don't think it's just that we played a weaker opponent. I also continue to have faith in Rapp, recent struggles notwithstanding. I think they have the potential to develop into a special duo. TJ Sanders looked decent. But to my eyes, Deone Walker looked better. GO BILLS!

Maybe there should be a new flag for "un-Corinthian spirit?"

I can't stand games like this, where we're huge favorites, and everybody is just assuming we're going to win. I hate the term "trap game," but I just hope the Bills aren't losing focus on the Saints because they're looking ahead to the following week when they have to face (checks notes)... the Patriots...
