Doc Brown

He's the most positive person I've ever seen and he returned back to form fairly quickly the last time he tore the same ACL. I don't worry about his mental state. I think tearing the same ACL, age, and maybe more damage/complications compared to the first time he injured it is why he's a shell of his former self this year.

]] No. He's cooked this year and may never be back. He's a liability in run protection and Lawson/Jonathan are better options at this point. The Bills best hope is for him to get back to maybe 80% of what he used to be next year as the contract is unforgiving until after next season.

Yeah. You can always rewrite the narrative by making a Super Bowl run even if we lose this week but make the playoffs. Winning @KC, @BAL, and then @Miami in the AFC Championship game would be my preferred path. Allen and the Bills beats the three Pro Bowlers picked in front of him.

It felt like this in the late 80's/early 90's. The price of being a great team that can't seem to get over the hump.

Good news: Bills finally don't lose in OT and clinch a playoff seed. Bad news: Dolphins clinch division and two seed with tie. Bills - 24 Fish - 24

I think Tua, Lamar, and Mahomes gets in ahead of Josh because of the bs turnover narrative.

I give McDermott credit for making him a healthy scratch against the Pats. Not an easy decision given his stature and contract. I don't expect him to dress against the Fins unless there's an injury. The injury just stinks as he looked amazing before the injury. We pry don't beat the Ravens or Chiefs without him.

It would be interesting if the Jags and Steelers win and this game goes to Overtime. A loss eliminates us, a tie gets us a Wild Card spot, and a win gives us the division. It's 4th and 6 at the Dolphins 42 with 20 seconds left in overtime tied at 27. Both teams have two timeouts left. If you're McDermott, do you go for it, try the long FG, or punt for the tie to make sure you get in the playoffs?

Gonna need a quote on that. That's like a plumber admitting that drains aren't his strong suit.

No. He's fine in the role he's in now but asking him to be our primary X-WR is a disaster waiting to happen.

No. They're a little too out there for my taste and there all like minded anyways. It's my opinion that progressives are well meaning but naive when it comes to domestic and foreign policy in general. I appreciate your take on Ukraine and Palestine. As far as Palestine/Israel goes, I think as long as Hamas is in power you just can't negotiate with them as they don't want a one or two-state solution.

I know he didn't call plays but the offense (and Wentz) regressed when he left. I don't know the true dynamic of how him being their impacted their relationship. Jumping from offensive coordinator to head coach allows you to put less of an emphasis on the personal relationship with the quarterback as far as Reich's time in Indy went. I think with his experience and calming influence he'd be a good candidate for a QB coach with a QB wired like Josh.

Somehow coordinated an offense that made Wentz an MVP candidate and won a Super Bowl with Nick Foles. Those two things alone are a miracle.

Any chance (if there was any) of a McD firing at season's end was squashed with another double digit win season despite the injuries on defense. Doesn't matter what happens the rest of the way this year. His decision on what to do with the offense going into next year will pry decide his eventual fate. He'd be a great QB coach for Josh if he's desperate for work.

Tell her that life is hard sometimes and get her a helmet.

Defensive coordinators have more tape on Brady now so we'll see what counter adjustments he makes against the Fins. The passing game needs to be better. If our offense lays another egg than we should absolutely be looking to upgrade. Yesterday wasn't great but Allen played awful, the WR's were awful besides Shakir, and we had two key drops by our RB's. There were two big plays missed (wheel route to Cook and the bomb to Diggs) that if Josh throws it better we might be having a different conversation right now. Having said that, he needs to be more creative with his play calling. Stop slamming your head against the wall with those WR screens.

After watching Harty and Sherfield this season lets just bring them both back for real. Slight sarcasm but is it? I'm more interested in upgrading the outside WR's as Shakir and Kincaid should be able to fill that slot role. That includes drafting one in the first round to compete for the #2 slot and eventually taking over for the perplexing Diggs. It also means finding a more reliable #2 option next year than Gabe Davis for a similar price Kendrick Bourne or Curtis Samuel come to mind but I really haven't looked to far into other possibilities.

Sam Martin was terrific the last two weeks for all the slack he's taken this year.

We don't get blown out and we've been below our normal standard on the road this year so this is the most likely outcome. To me the game comes down to our passing game somehow rediscovering itself again. Joe Brady's job might be on the line for next year.

Yeah. They rested their starters in 2019 and came out flat in the Divisional game. Let's hope they change their approach.

Ford over Joseph is a minor surprise.

I think Campbell was so heated from the penalty he wasn't thinking straight. That's all I got.

Happy Birthday. I was one of the few who wanted them to tank that year to get Baker or Danold in the draft. I even remember saying to a small group of friends and family at dinner after the game at that Italian place in Lackawanna (forget the name). "That's a lot of emotion just to be one of the worst statistical teams ever to make the playoffs." My wife said my New Year's resolution should be not to be such a buzzkill.

You're correct but in a way so am I because if all four lose and we win we're in.

They're 33 yards and I believe the five yard penalty would've made it a 38 yard extra point.
