Doc Brown

He's good pinning a team inside the 20 this year but he's had some real bad low line drive punts that have lead to some big field position altering returns. The biggest problem is finding a punter you trust to hold for Bass and there's only four games left. You stick with him but there needs to be competition next year in training camp. Whether that's Araiza or one of the other billion out of work punters looking for a job.

It's been a while for a RB. Maybe the Breida TD against the Saints on Thanksgiving a couple years back. It's tough with a mobile QB but Brady should look into it.

Double digit sacks by Christmas.

Fins fans were actually rooting for us on Sunday so they could stay ahead of the Chiefs for the #1 seed. Be careful what you wish for.

I was being facetious. You never hear about the surface when it occurs on grass.

Turf monster strikes again.

Would've happened anywhere. If I'm Beane I'd consider giving him a shot next off-season. See if he can still hold for Bass and how well he is with directional punts.

Any Given Monday

I think part of the frustration after the game is not being able to fix their offense like they assumed they would as the season progressed and it boiled over yesterday. It's enjoyable to watch tbh.

It's possible. He drilled the 48 yarder in the rain against the Eagles but his kickoffs into the end zone weren't through the back like they usually were (also may have had to do with the rain). There may have been some wind in the stadium yesterday as I found it odd Reid didn't let Butker try and kick that 56 yard field goal and punted instead in the first half.

He didn't strike it well. You're right. I still think it would've eeked through from that distance though. I thought it was a great play by Carter.

I didn't like that decision. I'm guessing the percentage of getting 3 points from 62 yards is a lot better than a TD on a Hal Mary. Bass has made plenty from 50 plus that would've likely been good from 62 before. I know the kickers give the head coach a line of demarcation before the game but that would've been an appropriate time to ignore it.

Bass would be 84% (about league average) if Jalen Carter doesn't make a great play on the blocked field goal which shows you why you need a larger sample size when evaluating kickers. Sam Martin I'm way more concerned about going down the stretch.

Take that Saban.

Yeah. I finally caved. It was a good read. Well written. Dunne made it crystal clear that he thinks McDermott should be fired which I appreciate since you can then read it as a well sourced opinion piece. No real surprises but he makes the best case on why this team should move on from McDermott than anything I've read or heard previously.

At this level it’s more about X’s and O’s. They’re professionals who should be up for every game.

Offense - Gabe Davis. I think he gets a lot of looks with Sneed on Diggs and McDuffie on whoever is in the slot. Defense - Groot in run defense, containing Mahomes, tipping some balls on some of their stupid short crap, and generating some pressure along with Floyd.

That's the downside of putting it behind a paywall as not as many people will read it so they rely on others interpretations. I'd pay the monthly fee to read it but then would be afraid I'd forget to cancel it.

Yeah. It blows my mind that out of all the examples in history of teamwork towards a common goal the hijackers on 9/11 was what came to mind and there wasn't a filter in his head that said maybe there's other options. We all make mistakes but good lord that was dumb.

Bills must treat this game as if there's no tomorrow if we're going to pull this one off. Similar to the Japanese kamikaze pilots when they attacked Pearl Harbor.

So it wasn't all bad.

Then spending six more seasons there without even winning another playoff game. Makes you wonder if they would've won less, the same, or more SB's if they kept Dungy.

You think?

Just the fact that it wasn't leaked until four years later is amazing to me. Especially in the age of social media where everyone has a voice.
