Colin Cowherd had a really great criticism of Sullivan on his show:

Doesn't matter if you have more wins than the other teams vying for a playoff spot. Colts have 1 more loss and still play the Patriots (and probably want the Colts to win this...?), Cardinals and Raiders (and Jags) Steelers, Raiders and Browns have an absolute gauntlet. We're already 2 games up on Miami with tiebreaker. Throw away the despondent loser feelings... why don't we still seem a likely playoff team?

Still pretty sure we make the playoffs. If you look at the game tonight Buffalo was the better team barring blown gap coverage on one running play, similar to TN. We have 5 losses. I think we lose 1 or 2 more and get into the WC spot at 11-6 or 10-7. And I genuinely think we're better on the road than at home if it's great weather on the road vs terrible weather at home.

Well... I counter that you're an idiot for not seeing how horrible this team is playing in the elements.

Buffalo is the #6 seed @LA, LV, or IND. KC or TN are the 7 seed. NE is somewhere in there All good weather or dome games. Win and play one of the other 2 teams on the road after they win their round 1 game. Win and play the remaining team on the road after they win 2 playoff games. 3 warm weather/dome games. That's what this team has demonstrated it needs, unfortunately. Super Bowl is guaranteed good weather... so we'd have a shot. I no longer think the 1st round bye is important to this team... at least not as much as good weather for GameDay. I still think we make the playoffs, but weather officially scares me.

I will dismiss this as a drunk post, because it belies what Allen is and has been throughout his career. Coaches need to get better.

As weird as it sounds Allen was pretty darn good in this game. Anyone who thinks this game takes him out of the MVP running is a moron. Blatant tropical storm force winds. At least 3 dropped passes including one that should've been a long TD. Constant horrible calls by refs. The one TO in the game by Breida, not him. Our idiot OC is doing more to take Allen out of the running than Allen himself. As others have said... next week and in New England. Show up and hope weather isn't a factor because our coaches aren't smart enough to account for weather

We got outcoached period. This is what irritates me. Bellicheck's timeout prior to the 2 minute warning is something most coaches wouldn't even consider, but it did its job. Another outside the box thought for McDermott... use your Timeouts in the 3rd quarter when the wind is at your back. My takeaway is we're the better team but they have better coaches. They were prepared for weather... we weren't. And that's a big problem.

Merge into post-game thread in 3... 2... 1... But yes, he sucked

They should try it at least once

Mix in some designed QB runs and tell Allen to scramble at will, please

Where are the designed QB runs today?

Got it. My bad.

There's almost zero chance Josh has gaudy numbers tonight. I expect he'll get a lot of yardage on the ground and might have a fairly low completion percentage. But if he can limit his turnovers (I'm expecting he'll give it to the Pats once... hopefully not more) and is able to move the team down the field and get a few TDs, we win. If we win in a game like that... even an ugly one... he jumps to the front.

Yes. It's an ESPN broadcast

I'm typically anti-designed-QB runs for Josh, but I think we're going to need a number of them tonight.

Where'd you see this?

I think I'll have cantaloupe with my lunch today... or maybe that will be my entire lunch...

The reason is because Allen’s 30+ yard passes aren't as difficult as most other QBs 30+ yard passes. A 15 yard out route for Teddy Bridgewater is like a 30 yard out route for Allen.

You really are kind of a pathetic troll. You know that, right? And with all the posts you've made directly to that thread that you already know I made as you feign ignorance, you already know that what you're doing is trolling. Stop being a deutchebag. And you know that's what you're being. And mods... I also want you to know that I tried PMing this slimeball in order to avoid this little public spat, but for some reason his account is not accepting PMs.

Once or twice?

God I hope this doesn't affect the broadcast. I remember that Chargers game years ago after Trent Edwards came back from his Adrian Wilson induced concussion and I missed much of the game because a stupid balloon flew into the power lines.
