This problem should have been solved after KC last season.

This defense is gross.

They have, I’m just thinking something like that screen to Hill would have been a bette third and long call.

The Dolphins throwing on 3rd and 19 with Skylar Thompson and a lead in Buffalo was an incredible gift. What stupid Miami coaching.

People are getting unreasonably nervous. Anything can happen, but the Buffalo Bills themselves are the only team capable of making this a loss. We’d need to have a total meltdown, in which case there’s greater issues to discuss moving forward. I’m feeling good about this.

I couldn’t agree more, it’s not about being stubbornly conservative or aggressive, coaches need to have a feel for the game. I lean towards being aggressive, and don’t like to criticize aggressive play calling, regardless of the outcome. However, there’s times when aggressive coaching doesn’t make sense. That’s what’s gotten lost over the past few years. There’s no mathematical formula that can accurately predict wins or losses, but I assume a run heavy offense with a huge lead significantly decreases the odds of a comeback. The clock is a big part of the game, and limited time makes comebacks impossible, yet coaches don’t seem to get it.

Another crazy comeback in a season that had its share. The Jags deserve credit, but it also speaks to the low quality of play we’ve seen. It takes a lot of mistakes to give up that sort of lead. There’s too much bad coaching in this league, and we’re seeing the results. Teams don’t even attempt to control the clock with big leads, and this stubborn insistence on running a specific system is resulting in big comebacks.

Bosa still whining. This Chargers team has a lot of loser mentality players.

A missed field goal would really sum up this game.

That’s fair, but if I’m an offensive line coach, I’ll risk those penalties, and coach up my guys to hold him more often after seeing this game. Creating a tantrum and getting him out of sorts is worth it.

Seems like it wouldn’t be tough to get in his head and knock him off his game though.

The Bosa’s are annoying.

This needs to happen in the NFL. There’s a strong European soccer vibe going on in the NFL these days.

Huge flop by Herbert.

Going to the Super Bowl with Matt Ryan is looking more impressive each day as well.

Go Seahawks! Is it strange that I almost resent the 49ers for being contenders with a rotating cast of subpar QB’s?

I’m kind of expecting a lot of them this weekend. Playoff football is awesome, but I don’t like the matchups this week, next week will be much better.

McVay is going play the Favre/Rodgers retirement game every offseason it appears.

I agree with your thoughts, but I don’t think Belichick is doing much to gain the respect of his players either. Lombardi trophies with Brady only mean so much with a new cast. His style works when the team wins, but not so much when the losses appear. Players see that New England isn’t doing what it takes to build a winner. Belichick has been an awful GM, and then hires Matt Patricia as the OC. Belichick is doing things that only he’d be given the freedom to attempt because of past success. It’d look genius if it worked, but instead comes across as a boss whose ego gets in the way. None of this takes away his past success, or his greatness, but he’s getting in his own way at this point.

Yeah, Derrick Henry got all the credit, and deservedly so, but no one seems to remember how AJ Brown made Tannehill look like a decent a QB in Tennessee.

Diggs.

Yes, I have no problem with Hurts All-Pro selection, because the results were there. I’m still not sold on Hurts being an elite QB a decade from now. Everything fell into place for Hurts to be successful this year. I know a lot disagree with my take on him, but I don’t think anyone would take Hurts over Allen. It’s fair to say that Allen isn’t going to impress the critics with his turnovers, but Bills fans should know better. Allen makes plays that no one on earth is capable of, and it really lessens the sting of the turnovers in my opinion. The turnovers would improve greatly if he had a better supporting case as well.

I don’t care who contributes, we just need more players contributing to win games. We need players to step up in several areas, and guys need to answer when their number is called.

I remember when people wanted Glennon in Buffalo to finally solve our QB issue.

Agree, Miller was also the guy who made Benford and Jackson look acceptable as starting CB’s early in the season.
