That was just a dumb pass by Mayfield. I can forgive the first INT because the defender circled back into the passing lane. It was great movement by the defender. The 2nd one, though...

Josh Allen is #1 in QBR! Not that I like that stat very much anyway...

They are all vastly different styles of QBs, too. I'm glad Darnold and Mayfield are turning things around with better organizations. And being in the NFC with the lower level of QB talent will give them more opportunities.

That was a hip drop tackle on Flowers. Should have been called.

Is he allowed to practice while suspended?

Personnel changes is another factor. It's not all coaching. Also, I guess if I could choose a quarter to be bad at, it would be the 1st quarter. I remember the 2nd and 3rd quarter lulls in the Daboll years. Those were rough. At least we've always been good in the 4th quarter. That's the most important one.

He's on pace for about 790 yards and 5 TDs. That would be a good rookie year.

If that happens, Schoen has a job here with Beane, I'm sure. We can welcome him back.

Crazy that he only has 2 pro bowls.

I took my 8-year-old son to his first game this year, too! Unfortunately, it was the Houston game, haha. But everything was perfect other than the last second field goal. Bummer.

I don't think he is fine. I think he is a below average punter. His idea of pinning the other team deep is kicking it to the 18 yard line. He needs to be trying to pin teams inside the 5. Neither his hang time or distance is good with any consistency. I hope we upgrade next year. Bass at least has a big leg. If he turns it around he can be a dynamic kicker. That's a big if, and his seat should be very hot, but Martin doesn't have a big leg to begin with. I just don't think he has the ability to be a good punter. Can he be ok? Yes.

Martin is mediocre. He can't boom the ball and only has modest hang time. All the punt issues are on him. No punts have actually been blocked. I'm not going to complain about near blocks. That happens every game for every team. Martin needs to still deliver a good punt even when there is pressure. The FG blocks are on Bass. His scatter shot kicks are sometimes barely over the line and easily tipped by just reaching your hand up. Coddington makes good decisions and is dynamic with the ball in his hand. He is great, not just decent.

Because I was busy and couldn't watch most of the first half. Once I turned it on, the Bills started kicking butt.

I just found it to be a show with paid actors about hyping up fans for their respective teams. The angry runs thing was fun the first couple of times, and then it got old very fast.

The show was never for me anyway. Not my kind of thing.

He's starting to pass some real QBs now.

Aaron Rodgers just isn't that dynamic anymore. He can certainly throw a zippy ball still, but that's about it. He has no mobility. He can't extend plays. He looks like a 40 year old QB.

Yeah, it is the latest trend. The scripted plays are designed to take advantage of your tendencies. Right now, the Bills are weak against the quick passing game and run game and teams are attacking that right away. The Bills need to add some wrinkles to combat that. They need to be more nimble and willing to show different looks. That's my guess, at least. On the other hand, their ability to make halftime adjustments has been on point. They are giving up an average of only 5.9 points in the 2nd half this year.

The Bills seem to have trouble with the scripted plays and offense tendency breakers, and then once teams settle into their normal offenses, the Bills play better. Rousseau made a comment about how they knew eventually the Titans would have to start playing their normal offense. I think the Bills need to do some self scouting and counter some of their defensive tendencies to combat the start of game scripted plays.

He didn't have possession or two feet down when he entered the end zone, so none of that applies.

I think he didn't have possession yet for the first step and began bobbling it as the 2nd step came down. If his third step would have been in bounds, which it wasn't, it would have been a catch, because he gained possession by that point and then got another foot in bounds as he was going down.

He didn't have two feet down before he entered the end zone, though.

He didn't establish possession before it entered the end zone, and then he bobbled it as he stepped out of bounds. So, the ball was never in anyone's possession at any time, so it was an incomplete pass. I think the refs got it right.

The Chiefs have the best defense in the league. Their offense isn't particularly scary right now. But we've all seen how they can muddle through the season and then turn it on in the playoffs. I don't really think the Mahomes vs Allen debate really matters. The Chiefs vs Bills debate matters more, and the Chiefs are a better, more consistent team than the Bills.
