I’m so sick of Singletary. Complete JAG.

Allen needs to see the field better. Two drives and he’s throwing into bonkers tight windows every play.

Ball was obviously tipped. All three plays were clunky. Team comes out looking completely unprepared for this game.

Not at all here for excuses. Find a way. If this team is who we think they are, they’ll prove us wrong and win. I say “prove us wrong” because it seems many of us have been conditioned (even with as good as they have been) to expect a loss if it’s too windy, too wet, too hot.. Enough, figure it out.

Weather forecast hasn’t changed all day. Between 1 pm and 4 pm.. Moderate rain Winds 13 mph

Yup.. and then we lost to KC in Arrowhead, for the second time in two years.. somewhere we might as well plan on playing again if we lose any game where everything isn’t ideal.

Pierce is out, but Raekwon Davis was out for Miami and we couldn’t run on them either, so probably doesn’t matter.

Looks like light rain to moderate rain all game. Winds 12-15 mph

Could have also just been plain ol’ exhaustion.

Putting a damper on your thoughts of winning the 1 seed should be a big deal. Outside of whoever plays the AFC South winner, any AFC team playing on WC Weekend is likely playing a tough game. Nevermind the hope that we stop playing KC at Arrowhead if we see them again.

Don’t care. Just pick one. Make Singletary or Moss the lead back. Singletary is a better RB, but Moss might be the better back for a heavy pass team. Make the other inactive or emergency depth. Keep increasing the James Cook workload until he hopefully becomes our lead guy.

The media loves Josh Allen. He and Mahomes are generally regarded as the two best in the NFL. Lamar Jackson is the story the NFL media wants though.. He can be incredibly exciting, extremely polarizing and has a contract situation hanging over his head. Lamar provides a lot more juice for certain people who’s job it is to get clicks.

It’s not the end of the world, but there’s a lot of cope in this thread… it’s still a big deal. 14-3 or 13-4 is where im expecting the 1 seed to land. Baltimore is a team that could be in that range. Losing a head to head to them is not ideal. Baltimore is banged up as well. Figure it out. Again, if we lose, not the end of the world, but im not into making excuses two weeks in a row as to why we lost. Get the W and be the team everyone thinks you are.

If we get back Oliver, Poyer and Jackson... That's about as good as it gets. Only missing Tre White, Christian Benford and Jordan Phillips. Two of those are big pieces, no doubt, but getting the other three back means we're fielding a realistic representation of what I believe to be the best defense in the NFL.

I think it's fair. I don't necessarily disagree with the Bills approach, but a guy like Xavien Howard probably doesn't play last Sunday or last night if he's on the Bills.

He has the same shtick about Lebron. Skip is probably the most obnoxious hot take commentator in a world of many obnoxious hot take commentators.

OL depth.. more could have been done. I won't kill the Bills on this though because most teams don't go past six deep with any semblance of quality. We are no exception. The bigger issue is getting more out of the starters - looking at you Saffold, Bates and Brown. WR depth.. I was definitely worried about outside depth, but Kumerow played well when called upon.. then gets hurt. Not really sure anyone can prepare for your #2 outside WR getting hurt, then his backup also getting hurt.

AFC is loaded, but nobody (us included with injuries currently) look like juggernauts. 14-3 / 13-4 is what I'm thinking gets it done, but Baltimore could very well be a team we're fighting with for that 1 seed. Would hate to finish 14-3 / 13-4 and lose a tiebreaker with the 14-3 / 13-4 Ravens or Chiefs because of head to head. Two big games upcoming.

Do they get to play the Jets every week down the stretch?

Tough to watch. Players need to be protected from themselves and the Dolphins have utterly failed him. Hope the events of this past week don’t stay with him long term.

Had to go similar distances… not really that outlandish. To get into the FG range, Allen didn’t have the option of throwing anywhere on the field. When he had to, we all saw the outcome.. time ran out. Every play was a broken play with that decimated OL. I’m much, MUCH more confident in Allen getting one chunk play from the Miami 40/45 down to the 25 and then having the ability to throw anywhere in the end zone than I am him having to work the sidelines after a throw in-bounds when he had zero time to let a route develop and WR’s running routes half speed.

Just rest him Sunday. He clearly shouldn’t have played last week, and now he’s not practicing this week. It is what it is. We can’t keep dealing with this. Elevate Hodgins, and have Shakir active. 3 wide of Diggs, McKenzie and Crowder. Mix in Shakir and Hodgins. James Cook breakout game.

The Ravens traditional run game has been as bad as ours. They just run Lamar way more than we do Josh. We'll see if Lamar can throw in wet/blustery conditions. We know Allen can. We also know what this defense does when teams become one dimensional.

I keep hearing how Jaquan Johnson is ready to start, has been ready to start, yet Damar Hamlin looked like that dude and Johnson seemed a step slow out there. Just one game, and I'm sure he'll look better with Poyer out there with him, but Elam & Hamlin flashed. Jaquan Johnson, not so much.

Looks like light to moderate rain with mild to moderate wind. Those conditions shouldn't take either team out of what they want to do. Both teams are extremely reliant upon their QB. We have no traditional running game and clearly would rather not run Allen. Baltimore has no traditional run game, but will run Lamar. Maybe the wet conditions slow the field down a bit, in which case Baltimore is the one with burners in Lamar and Duvernay. Some wind could affect the intermediate to deep passing game... We know Allen can cut through it.. Can Lamar? That's grasping though.. I'm sure there's disadvantages for us in this type of weather game also... Most don't associate a team that literally cannot run the ball as a team that's going to be successful in poor conditions - however - we have Allen, who can throw in any conditions.
