I wasn't pulling down Jackson here. I was simply pointing out that if Jackson had gone down in the preseason the Ravens with one of the best RB's in the NFL could have gotten by. After all Tennessee was a regular playoff participant with Tannyhil thanks in no small part to King Henry. Allen goes down who does the Bills O fall back on?

He would trade those incentives in a nanosecond to win a Super Bowl.

This should settle it between Allen & Jackson:

An even more fundamental question these people need to ask themselves is what would Baltimore's record be if Jackson didn't play this year? Then compare that record to what the Bills record would be if Allen didn't play this season. That would decide things real quick IMO.

Rest assured that Allen doesn't give a crap about this stuff. What he really wants is a Super Bowl win and an MVP performance in that game and the playoffs getting there.

And that's basically how it went until the refs inserted themselves into the game in the 4th quarter on both sides of the ball. First they called a bogus holding penalty wiping out a 12 yard run to inside the Pats 30 yard line on what was shaping up t b the game clinching TD drive and then seemed to be working overtime to get the Pats that last TD late in the 4th.

He played well last season in a couple of cold games late. I'm thinking those that said there was a cold/flu going through the team may have it right. Or Shakir after paying so well this season simply had an off game.

How about the NFL.com and ESPN? PFR is wrong here, plain & simple.

And like the O & D the ST also did some good stuff like a couple of punts to the 10 and a very important 50 yard FG to give Buffalo the lead for good.

He did have a couple of QB pressures but he did not dominate by any stretch of the imagination. In fact on that 4th & 2 late, Miller got fooled by Maye on the run that kept the Pats in the game.

Here are the last 3 home games played against the Jets - all in December/January: 2021: 27 - 10 2022: 20 - 12 2023: 32 - 6 Earlier in those seasons the Bills lost 20 - 17 (2021); 22 - 16 (2022) and won a close one 23 - 20 this season.

Actually I think NE had a lot to play for yesterday. They wanted to Keep their coach and were fighting to save his job. Maye's comments after the game were very revealing along those lines. Kind of like what we saw out of Dallas later that night - a much more inspired effort then anyone thought was possible. Beating the Bills in Buffalo when they're the talk of the league would have gone a long way towards saving Mayo's job. In contrast I'm not convinced that the Jet's will have a similar motivation to save their interim coach and Aaron Rogers jobs. I suspect we'll see a game from the Jets more like the one we all expected but didn't get from the Pats.

I thought Maye was very impressive and IMO the Pats will be the Bills biggest challenge in the AFC East over the next 5 years.

Cooper drew Gonzallas (sp) who may be the best CB not on most peoples radar.

Lets wait until the end of the season. I mean the Bills still have a decent chance to get to and win a Super Bowl. As an aside, McD does seem to be in the process of changing his coaching philosophy. His challenge in making the necessary changes is not to throw the baby away with the bath water.
