Fantastic stop there! Oddly enough we seem better on 3rd and 1 then we do on 3rd and 11

Somebody is getting ejected today.

Von hasn't even been on the field yet. Return of the rubber mats?

Fantastic opening drive. Even in the face of 2 bad ref calls, Josh Allen wouldn't be denied. He's smartly throwing to where the PI is and taking the penalty

Refs tried to stop this drive twice. Josh says "nope".

Coleman is gonna be so good Bad call taking that away.

Last Jet/Bills game was a flag fest. This one looks to be starting that way too

Bills NEED to start fast. Don't let the Jets hang around and have hope.

Side note for today: Jimbo Cook needs just 72 yards for back to back 1,000 yard rushing seasons.

Seems like something that's said every year. And I'd rather have those guys in Buffalo than on the road

I expect the Dolphins to win easily still. That kid the Browns are starting is possibly the worst QB I have seen start an NFL game in my 40 years of watching. I expect the Dolphins to lean on the run game and take Garrett's pass rush ability away. Even without Tua I expect a double digit win today for them.

Bitter cold, in Buffalo NY in mid January? What were the odds?

I don't believe bit really is a "waste" as if I'm not mistaken the reset count goes back to zero for the playoffs. It's a good way to get him a games check and reward him.

Colts Dolphins Bengals Broncos In that order. I put the Bengals above the Broncos because over the course of the year, Denver has had a good defense and the Bengals have been bad on defense. Defense travels well in playoff games. I think we beat any of the 4, though.

If I'm betting Babich is safe. Look, I realize it hasn't been great on the defense at times this year and especially lately. But Babich is a first time play caller dealing with somewhat of a youth movement on his side of the ball and the team has dealt with massive injuries on defense most of the year. He's also been an excellent developer of talent. Letting him be one and done would be a huge mistake. Now, letting him keep the reigns next season with the idea that if he underperforms McDermott takes play calling back is the way I think you go here. Losing him off staff would be a set back IMO.

Out of that list Gates and Holt are who I let in.

I want a win, no new injuries and to watch Aaron Rodgers pick himself up off the turf a lot today. In addition to possibly throwing his 500th TD pass, he's being sacked twice more away from the record of most sacks taken by a QB all time. I say we help him set that record

This is the kind of poster that would create a thread right after winning the Super Bowl saying "YEAH BUT WE ONLY WON BY 4. MCDERMOTT MUST GO"

Take care of business. Secure the 2 sees. Rest everyone we can next week. Pats beat us next week and it hurts their draft position and almost guarantees Mayo is back as their coach. Win/win even in a loss there. Let Mitch have game 17. Showcase him. Who knows, maybe he lights it up and some team desperate for a vet QB to compete next year like the Browns offer up a nice draft pick for him. The Rob Johnson Effect.

Going back and forth w between Shakir and Coleman. I think Coleman shines a bit more this week. And I think the Nard Dawg steps it up and flies around a bit. I see him grabbing an INT and several big time tackles.

It's not that easy. Players aren't just plug and play If Schwartz came back, it would mean a complete gut of the defense and bringing in players that fit his Wide 9 scheme. That could take a couple of seasons. And that's even if McDermott allowed him to run it over the defense we currently run. Just having Jim on the sidelines isn't a fix all

And how did that work out for him? 2 seasons with a 10-22 record and hasn't sniffed a HC job since. I agree with what you say for guys like Mike or Dave Culley or when Lovie Smith replaced Culley following his stint with the Texans. Lower level HC hopefull like them will ***** any job that offers them one. It really may be their only shot But higher level HC prospects like Ben Johnson, Dan Quinn ect in the last few years have routinely pulled their name out of the bad jobs. A smart coach will wait for a more stable opportunity because if it goes bad they may never see a HC job again.

I agree with the drive on some. There will also be the guys that skip from team to team and miss out on being in the same system with the same coaches teaching them. A lot of guys will be coming in without basic fundamentals in systems and be less pro ready then ever IMO.

He's basically the New Years Baby

Yeah, Sanders has bust written all over him. Couldn't imagine him going to Las Vegas like it's reported he wants. Hoping the Jets take a big swing on him.
