agreed. This is what a mediocre team looks like. Bad head coaching; mediocre and boring play on both sides of the ball; lots of mistakes and dumb penalties.

Jones out there making extraordinarily difficult check-down passes.

Can you imagine being a giants fan? Daniel Jones and a bunch of other meh players.

Mahomes looks like an old man. No mobility. Dude’s feet are a mess.

a buddy of mine who is a Broncos fan said he had heard the Bills were trying to land Von Miller. Rams outbid them. This is news to me.

i have said this before, but our interior Oline is serviceable. They are going to get beat against elite Dlinemen (Chris Jones, Hayward, and yesterday Raekwon Davis); they will be meh enough against everyone else. The problem is that all the playoff teams seem to have those Beastly interior d-linemen.

people think the fins are trash. Their defense probably has about the same across the board talent as we do. Their corners as a whole are better. Their interior Dline is also better with Davis and Wilkins. We probably are better at DE and a lot better at LB.

That’s exactly it. The line was struggling last year until he came back. he has been much worse this year, no doubt. But I just worry that the alternatives are, as people are suggesting Ike or signing Forrest— not really going to be the upgrade people want.

For all the JF naysayers, be careful what you wish for. The alternatives could be worse.

Henry is just a straight-up baller and good guy. I really hope he bounces back.

agree. Going to be tough division games, even against the Jets. If we can finish 5-1 In the division (splitting with NE), I will be really happy. Lost in this post is the great use of the word “cavalcade”!!! Nicely done!!

The Rams don’t scare me a ton. Maybe it’s because I am re-living our 2020 win over them, when Josh stiff-armed Donald around like a rag doll.

i too remain bitter about that a. Williams cheap shot

Miami Herald thinks Bills were classless too for scoring that TD and then going for 2. https://www.yahoo.com/news/buffalo-classlessness-aside-miami-dolphins-210125280.html One is Bills coach Sean McDermott and quarterback Josh Allen’s classlessness and defiance of custom in the closing moments of the game. With a two-score lead over their AFC East rival with just over a minute left, and Miami with no timeouts, the home team should have taken a knee. Instead Allen scored on a last-minute run — and then went for two.

yeah, that’s exactly why they did it. Go up 3 scores. But, come on. Game was way over.

haha— Same! But overall, another solid fantasy day for him. He has To be the leading kicker in the league.

I don’t think scoring a TD there was bad form. He was running the ball. that said, I didn’t care that they went for 2. Game was over.

Honorable Mention for Kumerow. If he doesn’t recover McKenzie’s muff, this game could have been dramatically different.

Was it just me, but the Fins’ right guard seemed to Move early on a lot of plays today and there were no false start calls?

The interior linemen struggle against elite big guys in the middle, esp when there Are two really good DT’s. Today, it was Raekwon Davis and Christian Wilkins— who are elite. They also had a hard time against Cam Hayward in the Steelers game. They did meh against the Titans, who are pretty good inside. They otherwise have done pretty well against everyone else. They are going to be up and down, and probably struggle against the bigger, athletic bull rushers.

i wonder if it’s like opposing teams getting worried about Devin Singletary. That has to be the same feeling.

i think this is what happened. I suspect the Bills worked all week on their running game and so they came out to try to establish the run. It was a very Jauron-like run, run, pass start to the game. I actually wonder had we converted that first 3rd and 5 on the first drive whether we might have gotten into a better rhythm early, and some of the early gameplan would have looked better.

i Guess my problem isn’t the math, but the assumptions. I don’t think teams can say that the odds of making a 2-pointer are static. It’s not like a PAT— it is a “contested” play that depends a lot on your red zone offensive success and the red zone defense. The Jags going against the Steelers for a 2-pointer looks a lot different than the Bucs against the Jets, or even the league average. I actually think teams know the assumptions aren’t accurate— if they were, from a pure math standpoint, you would go for 2 every time.
