fergie's ire

I mean Dan Campbell is older, not Gen Z, seems to be a pretty good leader, and he was crying after a loss to the Vikings. Some people are criers and some of those people are good or even great leaders.

Agreed. The Jets game, in particular, worries me. The Jets have some talent and Jets and Bills players seem to sincerely dislike each other which seems rare these days. I'm sure the Jets would LOVE to mess up the end of the Bills season like the Fitzpatrick Phins did to the Pats in Brady's last year there. It's about all they have left to play for this year.

Yeah, I seem to remember the talk was that they might have to amputate...and then when he miraculously played he balled out passing and running as if nothing was wrong. So annoying.

I remember I had a student years ago because in order to advance her team needed to do something no team had done in the history of baseball. I told her that the good news was that in sports, something happens virtually every day that has never happened. The year? 2004. Her team? The Boston Red Sox.

I would be tempted to put Bruce, but I went "other" because I'm going Kirby Jackson. Everyone knows Bruce was just a vulture getting all those coverage sacks because Kirby had the receivers on lockdown.

Stats matter to a degree for MVP, but what really decides it is narrative and what the media is saying. Listen to the media today. It's not close. He would need to do something egregious like throw 6 picks in a loss to the Pats. It's Allen's to lose right now and in terms of playing he is in what is known as "a Costanza situation." Being at work can only hurt his chances.

Play like they have been playing and get out to big leads against bad teams and rest starters in the second half of games.

I think Benford actually punched the ball back into his chest. Great play.

Wow. Don't think he even showed up on the box score so he must have literally not done anything.

You would think...and yet he was active for the Rams game and I don't think he played.

They have a QB who will throw interceptions WHEN pressured. If not pressured he will pick you apart with like 80% completion rate. Our d line needs to be better.

While we're at it, can we hire a screen specialist? Someone who will focus on running and defending them? We had some good RB screens against LA but that is rare. Usually, if it's not Shakir, the screen goes nowhere. And the defense sucks at stopping the screen and that did continue Sunday. It seems like the Bills have been terrible at screens for decades.

They didn't punt in the first half so what makes you think they wouldn't have scored on that possession anyway?

Yeah. That's the part I don't get. I can see running that play because it has like a 90% success rate, but if it fails jump up and try again. Even if d is slow to unpile should only take 15 seconds or so. A lack of a timeout costs 40 seconds. It's simple math

I don't think they go for it on 4th and 11. Just not a high enough percentage to risk giving Allen the ball there.
