Agreed he's not a bum. But he was absolutely one of the biggest choke artists under pressure I have ever seen in my life. The fact that Reid won that many playoff games with a guy that couldn't handle pressure and was scared of his own shadow is impressive, imo.

I'm not saying he's impressive. But the amount of crap he's taken from football fans over his career is not commensurate with his level of play, imo. If you did nothing but read about Carr you'd think Nathan Peterman was an upgrade for the Raiders.

His disguise sucks

He just completed a total of 5 passes for 16 yards in the first half.

That guy catches way too much flak from fans for his game.

You can't believe how bad the Cowboys look

You need to also consider the fact that the Bills are rarely playing from behind late and aren't forced to go for it on 4th as often as other teams. That's why their total attempts are low, not because McDermott is conservative. He has his flaws, but being afraid on 4th down isn't one of them.

The "back injury" concussion where the Dolphins put him back on the field in the second half is 100% on the team. You can't expect a player to make decisions in his best interest when he's semi-conscious.

He would certainly know better than me. I was just guessing based on where Allen was reading it and wondering if maybe he thought that LB was going to carry Knox up the seam and Ramsey was going to stay outside with Samuel. I thought maybe that was why Allen stayed with Knox for as long as he did and then switched to Samuel when the coverage surprised him.

They're also both two people who've never been in my kitchen

With the Bills not stepping on the field for another 9 days, this thread could go to 100 pages

Solely in the interests of clarification, I wasn't using the royal "you". I was specifically referring to the madman I was responding to, who I've known for long enough to recognize he's as big of an idiot as I am.

My guess would be that Samuel assumed if he was getting the ball it would be coming in around the 5-10 yrd line but since Allen didn't settle on him until he'd given up on his first read, the ball comes in a bit late and deeper than he anticipated. I think he wanted Knox on the skinny post but Ramsey and the LB did not play the coverage the way he was expecting so he tried to take advantage of the LB on Samuel at the last second but the timing was off and the throw was also affected by a defender around his lower legs.

lol I've got a mantra for when I feel that sense of self-preservation creeping around my back door: "Safety Third!"

I agree with you 100%. He's totally f***** and probably through no fault of his own; some guys do seem to just be prone to it. If/when he keeps banging away, it's probably going to end ugly and then lead to some hard years for him down the road. But he's not stupid; he knows exactly what's up and what kind of risk/reward game he's playing. If he's ready and willing to sacrifice himself for his people, the idea of a third party telling him "no" just doesn't sit right with me.

I would scramble my brains tomorrow morning if it resulted in the kind of generational wealth that would help my family and community for the next 100 years. And I bet your dumb ass would too. 🤙 I'm not sure how supportive I am of the league taking that choice out of players' hands.

It's not going to him, it's going to his charitable foundation. And the last time Bills fans did this, I think he matched their total and doubled the amount of money that was going to good works. So it actually ended up making us look good, helping people AND costing Tua money. We all win!

Not to mention Von's knee, Groot's foot and DaQuan Jones playing with one arm.

What you could be doing after dinner

I don't think he could have picked up the first with a slide; remember they mark the ball where you first initiate the slide. He probably could have dived away from Hamlin though.

Thank you for doing this. It's the kind of high quality stuff that deserves it's own thread so more folks see it, imo. 👍

The only one I thought might really hurt was Morse, but it hasn't shown up as a real problem yet. 🤞

Yeah, he had a guy around his knees and sort of short-armed it. Getting it out a split second earlier wouldn't have hurt either.

He wasn't stealing anything. He suffered a major injury, worked his ass off to come back from it and voluntarily took a pay cut to help the team while he was doing it. Watching Bills fans repeatedly spit on injured players over the years is one of the few things in this forum that genuinely disgusts me.
