I recall the anecdote about how McD was let go in Philly. He was replacing the late great Jim Johnson as their DC. A really tough act to follow for a young coordinator. Upon letting McD go, Andy Reid had told McD something like ‘I’m doing this for you.’ That has to be playing in McD’s mind. Another young coordinator that’s replacing someone that, while not legendary, has certainly had success. Of course, McD must also be considering that Reid himself was let go not too long after.

I wish Knox a full and speedy recovery.

Is Kirksey ready to unretire?

The way Kincaid prepares his body to run after the catch is very impressive. Most guys that try to look ahead end up dropping balls. I don’t know how Kincaid manages to have the hands he does while also preparing to run during the process of a catch. It’s very special. He has some very nice YAC numbers given the way he has been used so far.

Knox is a really good dude. As in, sign the extra autograph for that kid over there kind of good dude. (Have seen him do that a lot.) Really wish he could put it all together. He has never been consistent.

At times it does feel like there is a lifelessness that permeates this team.

If anything, the Bills need to be sellers at the deadline. This team is not championship caliber. No use in being one and done in the playoffs.

That play in particular showed what he can be. Not a doubt in the world about him catching that ball.

I think they should be. Bills need to be honest with themselves. Can they win the Super Bowl with this year’s team?

Shut down anyone playing hurt (including Josh). Be sellers at the trade deadline. This is not the year. They need to do their best to reload for another effort next season.

How did the D let Stevenson leak out for that big gain on the final drive? That turned out to be a dagger.

Given that the team is going nowhere fast, maybe the Bills can be sellers at the trade deadline rather than buyers?

Turns out these Bills were just pretenders.

SO frustrating

Keep 86 in and keep targeting him.

Embarrassing

Please don’t start slowly this wee…. Oh OK

Not worried. There will be enough positives to carry the day. Bills win.

The NFL cannot allow this to happen. Imagine if teams could offer ownership stakes to their franchise QB. They could potentially minimize QB contracts that go against the cap. It would be a huge competitive advantage.

Is Trevor Penning not a starter for the saints?! He was a first round pick, no? He was a teammate of Spencer Brown’s at Northern Iowa.

When watching King at Iowa, I always thought he’d be able to make the transition to free safety like Hyde.

Almost

Turnovers, drops, penalties, and injuries. It seemed like one of those things happened every offensive play last night. Happened a lot against the Jags, too. The offense had zero rhythm, both self inflicted and not. The McD / Josh Allen Bills have always had these mid season lulls. Every year. That’s when they lose games that they should not. One of the things that is absolutely maddening is that they seem to be unable to get out of a lull within a game. The Chiefs are great at pulling themselves together before the end of a game. They’ve laid plenty of stinkers out there first quarter through the third, only to get their act together in the fourth. We almost had it last night and then poof, Josh underthrows an open Knox who manages to drop a ball he had two hands on. No rising above the lull, only hanging on by the skins of their teeth.

Wake up very hungover on Tuesday.

We sat in a club section. Except for the on-the-field stuff, we had a great time. No complaints stadium-wise.
