Me to. Why on earth do the powers that be think more people down here in Cincinnati are interested in the Dallas/NY game, featuring2 teams that will not make the playoffs, then a rematch of the Super Bowl. It's insane.

He had the groin injury last week and it limited him in practice but obviously not in the game. From what I can see he was a full go today.

Agree and I'm an Ohio State fan. IMO McCarthy outplayed Williams last night. And if I'm a Vikings fan I love how he bounced back from a very bad pick 6. This was a demonstration of an all important intangible for an NFL QB.

IMO the idea that Bishop's play was a major factor in our defensive woes against the Ravens is not supported by my eye test. Sure he got trucked by Henry (join the crowd) but the gaping holes in the D line and the obliteration of our LB's contributed more then anything Bishop did. It seemed like Rapp struggled way more then Bishop, which was understandable given the time he missed. I also didn't see much from Johnson either. The fact is that the Ravens offense, particularly with Henry, is probably the worst match up the Bills D faces with it's undersized LB's & Safety's.

Allen and the O don't always have the MetLife blues, remember this game? https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401326469/bills-jets

I believe both Kincaid & Knox were also on the field as the Bills went with 3 TE's. Both Knox and Kincaid went to their left making it look like a short screen while Hawes went straight down the field on a seam play. From what I could see that was a cleverly designed play by Brady taking advantage of the Bills early game short passing to the boundary.

The safeties were the least of the Bills problems on D last night. Tackling Henry 20 yards downfield when he has a head steam is a challenge for any safety in the league. The issue was that our D line and LB's were often being abused at the point of attack.

I may be wrong but it looked to me like McD put a governor on Brady and the Bills offense in order to protect his defense. In the first half they wasted back to back possessions with very conservative play calling. It wasn't until the end of the half when the O was unleashed and Allen hit two big passes to set up the FG. In the 4th quarter the Bills had no choice but to turn Allen & the O lose and it showed.

The Hawes catch was a perfect pass. The TDt o Coleman was tipped by Knock and if he hadn't touched it it was going right Coleman. There's no luck about either play.

I complained all game and I feel GREAT!

Don't forget Kincaid who made two great catches that accounted for 10 points. And Bosa forced a critical fumble.

Bass was very good in the layoffs last season and was 4 - 4 from 50 or more yards out.

The Bills had TWO 70 yard drives for TD's in the first half. Their only short field TD drive was after the Jackson fumble and return. Bingo. In many ways the coaching decisions, particularly in the 2nd half, came very close to again losing the Bills a playoff game. The last FG was maddening because it told me that McD thought an 8 point lead would lock the game up when a TD would have really locked the game up.

But did Jackson play better then Allen in that game even taking out the 2 TO's? Allen was fantastic in the 1st half badly outplaying Jackson in building a 21 - 10 lead. In the 2nd half the Bills played not to lose and were not taking any chances which limited Allen's chances to make some more big plays. In contrast and as you noted Jackson was playing catch up against a weak defense protecting a lead. He was always going to put up better numbers than Allen in the 2nd half. What needs to be repeated over and over again is that the defense almost blew another playoff game as did the coaches decision to play it close to the vest in the 2nd half.

True but then again this is going to happen when going up against the best DC in the NFL. The fact remains that Allen made a tremendous throw to put the ball in play and convert the 4th down. Kincaid had both hands on the ball going to the ground. If you watch high school football that same catch is often made. I do believe that if Kincaid had been healthy he snags that ball but pushing off on that knee probably hurt like hell.
