Weird situation for me. Was looking into grabbing a couple good seats and heading up for a playoff game for the first time in ages, but staying here and hanging out with all my Stiller fans and torturing them is too rare an opportunity to pass up. Then 5 minutes ago my wife and I just tested positive for Covid.

He badly missed the deep shot to Diggs, which he has just got to make. Aside from that he was fine. He marched them up and down the field repeatedly but just couldn't quite finish drives for a variety of reasons, many of which were not on him. He threw for 200+ yards before halftime and the only turnover he caused was a 40 yrd hail mary into the endzone on 4th down. He's being held to an absurd standard that no other QB in the NFL is being held to. The fact that you want to trade him for draft picks tells us all we need to know about your take. Don't let fools drag you down, mup. Smile all day and enjoy it.

Gabe Davis on one O'Cyrus Torrence on one And Josh Allen on the 4th down "punt"

I'm a geek with it, too. I'm actually on a sabbatical right now and have myself most of the way talked into heading down and trying my hand at chasing storms in the Alley for a couple weeks this spring.

That's exactly where I go to know what's up. Their hourly graphical grid that goes out 4.5 days is usually very accurate also.

I didn't agree with folks who wanted a flag there. I don't want to see this league start calling penalties on two guys getting after it at the goalline, or at the sticks for that matter.

I thought they were hunting a TD with minimal interest in a FG that whole possession. I had no problem with the way they want about it and I hope they continue to stay that aggressive there.

It's really not the most awful idea in the world. I can see somebody overpaying him to be a receiver for one contract and then him maybe making that conversion down the road.

I kept looking for it but couldn't find it. Anybody else see it? Maybe it was an internal shock collar that activates if his head comes too far forward? Or did somebody do an unbelievable job getting him to overcome every instinct in his body to be a billy goat and somehow turn him into a heads up player in just one week? There's a Poyer, a Hyde, a coach or someone that has a steak dinner coming their way this week. Hope they at least share their potato with Taylor.

We have some better options in the pass game, but we clearly missed his blocking on the edge multiple times when he was out.

That's all I wanted a few times on early downs and I think it would have carried them right down the field. 👍

I was messing with him as well.

I thought they were fortunate to even get it to that point and would have had a better chance to close out by continuing to do what they'd been doing successfully all night.

Are you seriously giving somebody ***** for over posting?! When they've all been viable topics? For real? <fingers twitch toward banhammer......>

The FG % is probably 60 at best. Getting a yard with a 250lb QB is probably better than 80%. And a 1stdown ends the game just as certainly. It was the right call. I don't disagree. But a couple of them didn't need to happen in the first place.

Exactly. There was hay to be made on early downs with Kincaid and Shakir on that drive.

That's a mighty long kick on grass. A far lower % than going for it, imo.

They were moving up and down the field at will most of the night. If they just call their offense I bet they end up taking that kneel down in the redzone instead of stalling outside reliable FG range.

Both Guards struggled at times, Knox missed multiple blocks and we got a clearer idea of what Gabe Davis does do for this offense.

Get that fool out of here....

If they call that series at that point with that much fear in the playoffs, it will bite them on the bippy. They have got to run their offense there and play for points, not start clock-watching with 6+ minutes left. McDermott, Brady and Allen should be prepared with a plan to be aggressive with a one score lead in the 4th qrtr or I think they'll regret it.

I'm just saying that a) it's not a defenseless player/receiver call and b) it's guys colliding at the goalline. There's no spearing or butting; it's just football in it's purest form and it's not what the rule is supposed to prevent.

Yep, they missed one that changed the scoreboard. It happens He's a ballcarrier at that point and they are not calling a penalty on guy defending the goalline there.

The secondary has been out of this world for weeks now and doesn't get near enough credit for how good this defense has been

Tonight he cost the Bills a red zone turnover by getting beat trying to overprotect that vulnerable inside. I don't think we've seen anywhere enough of anybody else to judge whether there is an upgrade available, though. Also consider the 3-4 front we'll be facing next week. Nobody he's facing is going to beat him with speed so it may match up very well for his power game.
