It probably had nothing to do with the pressure we had on Newton forcing a bad throw.

NE is playing a base nickel right now and the results looking similar/worse than our performance against colts. Interesting to see what adjustments BB tries to counter with.

That wasn't a drop. Little behind him after the wind moved it and defender knocked it out. Chill guys

I was conflicted on point 3. Cleveland winning would be good to try and math out a path to the #1 seed. However, in terms of playoff probability Baltimore beating browns and bengals gives us a better overall playoff probability. I'm not scared of us playing BAL in the playoffs, even if we have to go there, so I eventually settled on a BAL win being better to knock off CLE.

We currently have better division record than pats. We can win division if we split with them and have same number of losses elsewhere. We can even lose to pats and TB if they lose to Indy it will be the next game w pats that decides the division. I think we are the better team and should win next week, but if we do lose in a well played game it's not like the world is ending.

I didn't see any of this game. Was his 25% completion as bad as it looks on paper?

That was great patience and vision by Allen waiting for Morse to make the hole

45-20 with a def or st touchdown

The run defense in nickel has been decent this year. Coaches underestimates how much the loss of star and Edmunds would mean to our nickel effectiveness.

Picking up some tickets for next week. Anyone have info on the tailgate or sections for the best fans in the world? Same lot near the mall?

I think career rushing TDs makes more sense. Not enough volume to really push yardage. He'll likely end up 3rd in rushing yards on the bills, but easily first in rushing tds (at his current rate).

Tua had more ypc. Way overrated stat in qbr

The math is pretty easy of why to go for 2 near the end of game. In overtime you tie around 7% of the time. Meaning you win around 46.5% of the time in overtime. You miss the XP around 7% of the time. That gives you an expected win% of around 42% it you go for the xp. If you think you have a good play schemed up that you can make the 2 pt at better than 42% chance you should go for it.

The 2 minute drills is when we've looked our beat this year imo. End of half management has been the most impressive thing about the team this season

Liked going for it, didn't like the call. The way our line was getting pushed around today makes it a much less likely pickup than usual. As someone else said, roll Josh to the right and let him decide to toss it or run through a db for the first.

I was watching the game where Allen had 72% completion, didn't try to force it outside of like 2 throws, and helped the team pick up 7/13 3rd downs. 53% conversion is better than any team averaged last season. Allen played well, there were a couple of plays in the red zone where it would have been great to score but he was far from a leading factor in the loss.

Did you watch the same Allen as the rest of us? He took safe/check downs most of the game. Distributed the ball to most of the offense and was under duress most of the 1st half. He had like 2 bad throws outside of the 2nd last drive with 17 to go. The 2nd down play on that drive was the right decision but under thrown, other 2 were looking for too much. Overall, Allen had a great game of "playing within the system" and "taking what they give you". Agreed on line play. Hopefully this is a case of "they gel with time together".

Decent, but not good performance. We're clearly built to stop KC (and all the other pass heavy teams). Against a team like Tennessee our best in the league pass defense is just ok.

Season long

Good game of football. Probably best game this week. I'd love a blowout, but it's still an entertaining Monday night.

Are we still panicking or can I drink some beer now?

It's wierd that nobody remembers what a close game feels like. It's ok and expected to have an opponent challenge you sometimes. We still have controlled the ball, controlled the clock, and are likely to be tied or up going into halftime with us getting the ball first. It's not domination, but that is still a decent strong game with room to improve.

Anyone see sugar high Brady just float his first pass and almost intercepted? (I'm thinking it had nothing to do with the rain coming down)

That was good clock management and coaching sub 2 mins. Shame to waste that timeout earlier though.

I guess it's too early and the sarcasm too thick. I thought the Daball play call reference from last week would be enough of an indicator. Sorry old man. As a serious response, I agree the original post is not workable with current NFL rules.
