Khalil Shakir has yet another game with a 100% completion percentage (7/7), bringing his season total to 96.4% with 27 receptions on 28 targets.

Bills win, Pats* lose, Fish lose, Texans lose. Now if the Jets, and Chiefs can just go ahead and lose, this is a pretty good Sunday.

It wouldn't be dumb at all, IMO. The Titans are now 1-5. Their season is all but over. If they can get draft value for a 32yo receiver, that would be smart.

We're doomed.

And all while taking a step back on an already lousy O-line.

My only point is that if the NFL were to pressure the Dolphins into releasing Tua for health reasons (which is not an unreasonable stance) then that works to Tua's advantage. Tua's next concussion could be very serious, and a very bad look for the NFL-- a PR nightmare. But, the NFL also wants to maintain parity, and releasing Tua puts the Dolphins on the hook for a lot of coin.

It was unfortunate, but I'm not mad at it. From the initial angle they showed on TV, which I believe was the same side the official was on, it did look like he landed on Rodgers with his full weight, which is a flag. Other angles showed that it was a clean sack. It was sticky tacky, sure, but not a egregious call, IMO.

As long as Josh Allen is our scalpel, we'll be fine.

In my opinion (as a Bills fan living on the West Coast), the biggest problem currently with the NFL, as an entertainment medium, are the numerous streaming services now involved, and the issues with navigating that morass.

I've been under the assumption that there have been injury settlement negotiations going on behind the scenes. It feels like Tua and the Fish are playing a game of chicken. If Tua's is not allowed to play because of his injury, he gets paid. If he quits because of his injury, he doesn't. So far, neither side is flinching, and the NFL has declined to get involved (which is tantamount to siding with the Dolphins). And still, Grier, and the Dolphins have done nothing to shore up their porous O-line, and give Tua some modicum of protection. Instead, they will continue with their get-the-ball-out-of-your-hands-as-fast-as-humaly-possible offensive scheme. Maybe they're hoping that opposing defenses will be easy on him, rather than take the risk of killing someone on the field?

everything but the feces part... yuk.....

A lot of disagreement on the decision to rush two on the Hail Mary play. My two cents: The Jets actually have a decent O-line, in which they invested heavily in the off-season. Had the Bills rushed four, it's more likely than not that Rodgers still has the time to make the throw, and then there are two less defenders downfield. Rushing two was the right decision, IMO. Where the play failed was similar to the Hail Murray pass a few years ago. In that play, it was Hopkins vs. Hyde, Poyer, and White-- arguably the three best players on D at the time. They didn't come down with it, because each of them was going for the interception, rather than batting it to the ground. When Rodgers threw that HM last night, it was into a sea of blue, and everyone was going for the ball, rather than knocking it away. You can blame coaching for that if you want-- every defender in that end zone should have been playing D, not WR. Maybe they need a volleyball day at practice?

I actually really enjoyed this game. These two teams hate each other. And in the end, the Bills pissed in their punch bowl.

Saleh should've known better. You can't kick Rodgers' lapdog and get away with it!

I don't see the presence, or absence of Robert Saleh on the Jets' sideline as having much of an effect on the Jets' performance on game day. Maybe his absence will be less distracting to Aaron Rodgers? Rodgers clearly had zero respect for his authority, or leadership, and Nate Hackett has been answering to Rodgers over Saleh. The Jets have a culture problem.

I'm imagining the confused look upon the player's faces during the halftime speech...😐🤔😵‍💫🫤🤨😒🫣😲

The empty stands in Miami! Fish fans are the worst!

Chargers looking undisciplined.

You were saying...?

SHOCKER: The San Francisco 49ers are up 20-0 over the visiting Patriots*.

No, far from it. The first was clean. The second included a torn meniscus, torn MCL, and a tibial plateau fracture, and I walked on it for two weeks before getting an MRI. I believe that the nerve damage from the first surgery made me not realize how serious it was.

I've said since the beginning of the season, the Jets have a culture problem. When the diva QB openly disrespects the HC, and the OC answers to the QB before they answer to the HC, it's a major problem when the season starts to get away from them. With so much disfunction at the top of the pyramid, I'd imagine it would be pretty hard for the team to have a lot of respect for the team's leadership.

My second ACL, yes. My first? Not so much...
