So if the Bills win 13-10 or 42-40 it doesn't impact your feelings on McDermott at all?
That's surprising. To me, as a Defensive specialist, McDermott needs to show that his defense can step up in the playoffs against top competition.
No, I don’t care, there are no moral victories. Win the game.-

So week 2 of the playoffs would feature one game in each conference? No offense, but you’re making a really good case for the current structure.
Simple, take it back to a 6 team system. Prioritize winning. 1&2 get a bye, 3 v 6, 4 v 5. It’s essentially the same, but the teams that don’t belong, don’t make it.
Any more and you have to put another bye week in there for someone.

Do you really think that? I need some positivity about that game.
I feel like the Texans have an underrated defense - but I'm at a loss to explain why their O has been so anemic at times. Losing Dell & Diggs is big, but they still have Collins & Mixon, and their other receivers are capable for the most part. I'd love it if they could put up a fight, but this game seems like such a foregone conclusion.
Their D can absolutely stop the Chefs from chopping them up. They won’t have to score more than 24 to win, I think the Stroud we saw in the second half last week could do that. I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility.-

I saw that. It was a good point, and he was right that the other lady was being defensive about Lamar, as too many are.
We've obviously learned that narratives matter more to the public than stats. If Lamar wins Sunday the overwhelming narrative will be Lamar has fully surpassed Allen, and they are no longer equals. I'll never hear the end of it. It's going to suck.
But I feel good about Sunday because we're going to absolutely flip the script on everyone. I think we'll win.
It’s hysterical, for years, “stats don’t matter, it the impact, look at the wins with trash WRs”, now “check the stats!!” (But only in the way they make Lamar look good). I can’t stand the media or Lamar fans at this point.
No matter what happens, they will spin it to be what they want. Lamar throws 3ints? That’s just the dominant Bills D that won for them all year.
Allen wins on a last minute drive, he’ll get “lucky” somehow.
Allen wins MVP, he stole it. Allen doesn’t win, it validates Lamar’s greatness.

For every thread about offseason moves with coaches, GM’s and coordinators, and teams trying to gather breath from a sinking ship, I’m gonna try and save this quote as an auto-reply:
”For those who want to fire Beane and McDermott, “not up in here”
I’d say if McD can find a way to squeak out 3 more wins this year, the chatter about firing him would come to an end.

However, I wouldn't be real excited to see Flores as HC, if I'm a Jets fan.
And can they stand the NYC pressure, as well as a terrible owner?
I'm still holding out hope that they hire Rex back in some capacity. That would be pure entertainment again.
I know Flores got a bad rap in Miami, but that team was taking shape, I was shocked they fired him and a bit relieved too. I would not really want him in NY. -
What a fall from grace, if he would have shut his mouth he would have inked a multi year deal over 20M a year, now he’ll be lucky to get a camp invite.

If they have a bad game this playoffs, my bet it’ll be the defense not the offense.We’ll see what happens, but if you look at it, the offense had more to do with the losses than the D did this year. They laid absolute eggs in Baltimore and Houston. LA was on the Defense, can’t argue that.
Hopefully, there are no bad games, a SB win happens and if he leaves, it’s too bad, but at least he leaves a Champion.

49.2 coverage grad yesterday. Compared to the much maligned Bills FS - Damar Hamlin who had a 71 coverage grade and a near interception.
Just another missed play by Hamlin

We knew Rosen was the "Wrong Josh" by the end of 2019.
Didn’t even take the Cardinals that long, take a guy top 10 in one draft and move him out to replace him with the 1st overall the next year, ballsy, but it was right.

Sounds like many of use were heavily influenced by draft analysts and the media.
As a casual college football fan following the draft, you were conditioned to think Josh Allen was going to be the Kyle Boller or Jake Locker.Even after a much improved season in 2019, fools like Ringer’s Steve Ruiz predicted he’d have a Trubisky regression.
It’s amazing how hard Josh has worked and what he’s had to overcome to get where he is. Hoping he can finish the story this season
Trubiski will forever make me wonder, how did he look that competent and now look like. Mediocre backup? I was certainly concerned that JA was going to follow that path of almost making it and then nosediving, thankfully he really took off. -

This after they made sure to sit Cooper Rush to ensure he didn't hit contract incentives and then Jones claimed he had "no idea" those were there
Then pay the bonus and say sorry

Come up with that all by yourself?

Does anyone have stats of Derrick Henry vs a Sean McDermott defense?
Also, control the clock and keep the other offense off the field. It does wonders for a suspect defense.
Henry has basically got one big run every time for a score and that was selling out to stop only him bc nobody respected the QB, it’s a lot harder with Jackson back there. They MUST control Henry, he’s going to get some, but you can’t allow a long TD run, make them earn yards in the air and you can’t allow win. If they can’t stop the run, it’s over.

Still don’t get what’s up with Cooper. Thought they were somewhat keeping him under wraps until the playoffs. Is he going be under wraps until the Divisional Round? AFCC? Super Bowl? Honestly thought he would see a lot of targets today. Note: not complaining, just curious.
I think it’s about time to stop believing your eyes are wrong and admit the fact he wasn’t going anything in Cleveland and isn’t doing much in Buffalo. He’s lost a step and isn’t the #1 they thought/hoped they were getting. He’s a solid vet who’s reliable, but no longer “special”, he was simply attractive bc of the contract.-

He's had some weird goalline drops and I wonder if the Bills are hesitant to throw him the ball in the redzone now.
I think the fact Ty Johnson is in for most receiving opportunities speaks loudly. Cook has hands, but does seem to lack focus.

I’m only surprised in the fact they didn’t hire him last year, when they should have. That team will be decent this coming year with Maye and a pretty decent draft slot, they should be able to make things happen. I’m not 100% sold Maye is going to be great, but he’s looked good enough to think he can be.

Wow, Texans 100% didn’t GAF about a first down.

Herbert has all the physical tools you want from a QB, but idk if his poor performance in these games is more so because of him or the offense around him.
He was the same dude in college, he’s got the ability to be great, he doesn’t have “IT”.

Both defenses look like they could pose a threat.
But offensively? Chargers just ain’t there man. They seem too easy to shut down. Houston has more dynamic players they can get the ball to.
The Chargers have exactly 1 skill player you have to worry about. They are talentless on O and IDGAF what anyone says Herbert is the most overrated QB in the NFL.-

When healthy, Puka Nacua belongs in that conversation…
Call me crazy, but there’s not another WR I’d want on my team over Puka, dude is a COMPLETE animal. He does it all, every play, and does it at the absolute highest level. Chase and JJ are better athletes and pure WRs, but impact on the game, give me Puka.

This game’s over I’ve seen enough. Texans are cooked.
Texans and Steelers being in the playoffs and we didn’t draw either sucks.
Oh well.
How ya feeling about that right now? 4 turn overs and STILL leading.
-
I see a couple paths to Steeler victory, but they all hinge on Jackson falling apart again and Wilson playing well. I don’t like the odds for both of them happening.

I didn’t say they weren’t better. Just not worlds better that the media is making it out to be. Especially when you factor in if Josh needed to play in every game and not go vanilla game plan for a lot of the last month of the season (instead of sitting out boat races in the 4th qtr or the last Cheats game) a lot of his stats likely would’ve been the same or better.
Look, I got no problem with Lamar being offensive player of the year or first team all pro QB if you’re going purely off stats. Lamar has had a great season and has earned that. My problem is that first team all pro QB has been a lock for MVP forever.
If you think the AP MVP voters are capable of such nuanced thinking this year where they are able to distinguish first team all-pro from MVP as a stats vs. moments/context award and give it to Josh Allen, then I’ll eat crow. You won’t hear nary a word from me on that because I think that’s completely fair and consistent with what they told us last year. But…that type of thinking, with the precedent that has been set with the historical correlation between first team all pro QB and MVP, it is not on our side.
I hear what you are saying, let’s just see how it plays out before getting too excited.-

Oh I agree. It’s coming.
Never mind Lamar’s stats aren’t that much better and Josh has sit out the equivalent of two full games because they didn’t need the game (pats) or they were kicking the other teams ass so badly he could sit. Clowns. F them.
Lamar’s stats really are better, sorry, not sorry. Allen’s were better than Lamar’s by the same margin last year. I think Lamar getting 1st team AP and Allen winning MVP would be entirely accurate.

The problem is, cushioning the impact doesn’t change inertia, the brain is still moving at say 15mph, the stop of that momentum is the issue. Doesn’t matter if you hit a pillow, if the momentum is stopped, the brain is slapping the skull. That tiny bit of padding may alleviate a tiny bit of force, but in the collisions that cause concussions, there’s no data to support it makes any difference.
