McDermott should be allowed to dodge this issue in the post-game. Win or lose.

Wait. The CB we drafted in the first round because we were in dire need of CB help is a healthy scratch? Jesus Christ.

He's right. 17 and 14 are both fantastic. Nobody else has stepped up at the skill positions, and the OL is a mess. If you watch non-Bills games, you see teams like this all the time. They can be successful and make the playoffs, but they don't make deep runs. If we had an elite defense that would change things, but we don't with all the injuries so it doesn't. If Tre were interested in playing and the CB we drafted in the first round was ready to see the field and we weren't putting our HOF edge rusher on IR for some reason maybe I would be more optimistic. As it is, we are highly likely to drop one of the next three games, which will make the division an uphill climb. The good news is that we get 17 and 14 back next year, and the defense will be healthy in August. Maybe we'll have better luck then.

Please please please be Saturday. That at least allows me to relax and enjoy my Sunday. Sunday night games are absolutely the worst.

Yeah, this chart is preposterously misleading. It is not normal to be without your entire starting secondary, for example. Also, Allen has missed no time due to his elbow, but there's no serious question that it's hurting his performance to at least some degree. Seeing as how he's our offense, that's a pretty big omission.

Not surprised by this. We're exactly two plays from being 10-1, and people are starting threads about whether McDermott needs to go SMH. Well, regression to the mean is actually a thing. We were incredibly lucky in 2020 and 2021 in terms of injuries, to the point that people were crediting our practice facilities and staff as some kind of secret sauce. While our facilities and training staff may be outstanding, we're learning now that they can't prevent on-field injuries. Sometimes things like this just happen.

This seems like a dumb tangent. Lamar's tweet was childish, vulgar, and unprofessional. Putting it under a magnifying glass to find residual traces of homophobia is both a huge reach and completely unnecessary. His tweet was worthy of criticism if he had simply called the guy Mr. Poopy-Pants.

If this were a television show, the writers would be told to remove the skunk because the symbolism is too heavy-handed.

Yeah, but last year's New England team was clearly below average from a talent standpoint, and everybody kind of knew it. They managed to eke out a win in a bizarre weather game, and then we blew them out twice, by scores that accurately represented the difference in talent. As much as we'd like to believe otherwise, 2022 Miami isn't like that. They've got very good players on both sides of the ball, especially on offense. Our QB is better, but Miami has a better group of receivers than we do, and Tua has proven that he's good enough to take advantage of the weapons that he's been provided with. Last year's Patriots were frauds. This year's Jets are frauds. This year's Dolphins are not frauds and are perfectly capable of beating Buffalo in Buffalo if we let up.

It's hard to imagine the NFL not flexing this game.

Appears to be.

I am literally laughing out loud at that tweet. My god.

Jacksonville completely mismanaged that situation. Obviously.

Jacksonville wins! (Well, there's still 14 seconds left, but nobody can do anything with so little time).

Woah! TD but it's gonna be close. Edit: Absolutely a catch.

Trevor isn't inspiring a lot of confidence here.

Chubb scores -- Cleveland wins.

Why is Cleveland even running a play here?

Wow huge play by Cleveland. Chippie FG range.

Oh Jacksonville.

It's kind of funny to think about other fans of other teams on other boards bemoaning their hard luck when Allen hit Diggs late.

I'd be happy with a tie here.

Eh, White looked good against bad opponents last year too. Then again, their roster is improved and maybe he's a good enough game manager to get them going. The fact that White is clearly outplaying Wilson is certainly something though.

Woah. Cleveland just tied it up with :32 to go (pending the PAT).

Pretty smart OPI by the Browns there. The penalty costs them nothing. Then again it would have been an okay arm-punt.
