I thought you were most infectious within the first 5 to 10 days before you even show symptoms. I'm assuming you can test positive within that timeframe. [Edit: the current data is infectious 24 hrs before symptoms.]

This will be interesting to pay attention to. It was bound to happen sooner or later. My belief is that the season will go forward no matter what. Quarantine those infected and play ball.

Nope. Not doing it. Bad joke.

Allen is by far the most important component to the offense. As long as he sticks around we should be fine. I don't think McDermott will allow an OC to come in and change things significantly.

Should have been illegal contact. The only legitimate gripe is that the officials usually don't call things like that late in the ball game. They usually let them play unless it is super egregious. To me they should be calling things consistently no matter what the down and distance is, or what point of the game it is. But that's just me. It wasn't catchable because the timing was thrown off due to the illegal contact past 5 yards of the line of scrimmage. But we shouldn't be surprised that Woods is going to back up his own team.

We'll just have to wait and see.

He has been coming on One Bills Live for a couple years now and has been giving Allen props when deserved. Seems like he just calls it like he sees it, which is refreshing. A lot of us were fooled before Josh Allen was drafted.

Yeah. I mean the fake INT was a huge momentum swing and I don't fault defense for being on their heels after that. But at some point they needed to right the ship and they didn't. They continued sinking. I think the mentality needs to shift from "let's ride this out and get the win" to "this is my chance to get an INT or a sack/fumble and pad my stats". A lot of good defenses keep playing hard because they know the offense is going to take risks to get back into the game and the opportunity for turnovers and big plays increases. And that's what defenders live for. So they may need a "play fearless" pep talk from McDermott just like Allen needed last year. Particularly Edmunds who seems to overthink things. And maybe Frazier needs half a game of McDermott calling the plays again to light a fire under him too.

Surprises: - Josh Allen consistently completing 70% of his passes. I expected him to get up to around 60 to 65% - Daboll calling great games and leading a great passing attack. - Gabriel Davis contributing as a 4th round rookie. Disappointments: - 3rd quarter lapses in execution / coaching adjustments. - Terribly called games by the refs. - The Dolphins are actually pretty good.

When is Feliciano due to return? Any injury and rehab updates? You're off to a rough start.

It can't be a classic for me because of the horrible officiating. It still makes me angry. I agree. I also thought about this. Hopefully this shows the players and coaches that the best coarse of action is to stay aggressive and continue to stomp on the necks of their opponents. I think execution by the players has been the issue. They need to find a way to keep up the intensity.

So dumb to come out and say that. Just fire the guy or don't. Is Adam Gase going to turn into a great head coach over the next two weeks?

He was also outside the pocket and likely deemed a runner by that point, so not afforded the normal QB protections, so an incidental shot to the head is not a penalty necessarily. But he did take some shots on other plays that warranted penalties. I fear Josh is starting to get the Cam Newton treatment from the refs.

Totally. It's like a new defensive line. But I am concerned we don't have a true 1 tech that can eat up blockers. They are all kind of small on the inside. Harrison Phillips isn't as good as I thought he'd be coming back. Maybe he needs more time, but frankly the entire dline probably needs more time.

I thought all the new threads were supposed to be negative!

I said in another thread that we have been spoiled by having such an elite defense the past few years, plus we are playing teams now that have been desperate to get back into the game. I want to see the coaches work through this slump and get the defense back on track, but the next few games will be tough too, so I'm not sure when we'll see it. Maybe against the Raiders. Anyway, glad we have an offense that can carry the team.

He faked it a third time today. Caught me off guard.

I disagree. Tre is playing a great. You expect him to never give up a reception? That's just not possible. 90% of the game the opposing QB isn't even considering throwing in his direction. That means he is doing his job. He got turned around on that one deep ball against the Dolphins (which should have been incomplete anyways because the receiver dropped it when he landed), and other than that what are we talking about? A short pass to the end zone against a giant TE? Stopping the run? Are we going to knock out elite lockdown corner for not stuffing runs? That's not his job. Tre is great.

Kroft DID have possession of the ball. He caught it and as he went to the ground the defender grabbed it. While they were both on the ground (when the play should have been dead) the defender slightly wrestled it away, but Kroft eventually took it back. At worst it was a tie, which by rule should be a Kroft catch.

Hey, I'm not down on Josh at all. Taking risks and making big time throws is part of his game. But let's not pretend that he hasn't had an issue with these throws into coverage while under pressure in the past. When he is under duress he sometimes reverts to those ill-advised deep throws. But I've been an Allen supporter since his rookie season. The guy is a gamer, a big time competitor, and a winner.

Yes, the Dolphins do have a good offense. What was weak about White?

In one-on-one coverage. Not into double coverage.

It was a jump ball, though. He just threw it up there. I was afraid it would get intercepted as soon as he threw it. That's a good point. Tyrod would have been brutal this game.

I don't even think it was PI. Kroft barely touched the guy. But I guess when they see hands on the defender they call it, even though Kroft did not appear to push off to me. But it still wasn't a smart throw.

He was double covered. Josh should have just thrown it away.
