You don't have teams of doctors pumping you with IVs, oxygen, supplement routines, etc... though. They can minimize the effects a lot but you're right that it probably still is a bother.

Except they've kept a very premium pricetag. Don't get me wrong though, I agree with your premise, most people are awful.

I have never heard the pot call the kettle black any harder in my life. The lack of self awareness is astounding.

The Murray move is something only a GM who is way too comfortable in their position would make.

More so than Poyer? I certainly don't agree with that. He might be our most reliable corner, but that's a pretty low bar. He's been getting picked on in coverage quite a bit. Agreed, not really making excuses for the guy, he's been posterized way too many times this season. I was just lamenting that we do need to keep realistic expectations in mind, even though he's being asked to do more.

I did say in a follow up post that I don't think there's any guarantee that Rhodes is an upgrade, but I do feel like a fire needs to be lit under Jackson to get his head turned around and make plays at the ball. The fact that he's as close as he is during most passes is half the battle. I also said that it's probably unfair to expect more out of the guy when he's a 7th rounder going against legit 1st round WR superstar talent, but it's where we're at.

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping you're right. Hopefully Rhodes still has some gas in the tank too, I don't know that it's guaranteed he'd be an upgrade. I know it's probably unfair to grade Jackson so harshly because he's a 7th round pick covering legit WR superstars, but man it's frustrating to watch circus catches on this guy because he never seems to get his head around to find the ball.

BB has never been able to contain Diggs since he joined the Bills, I don't really see that changing Thursday. Judon is the guy I'm most worried about. Dane Jackson has to step up for this game, Mac Jones is accurate and the last few weeks have shown that being close to your man isn't enough, the tape is out there on Dane and he's going to continue to get picked on until he makes a big play in a big moment. Same goes for Taron Johnson. Really weak showing the last few weeks (honestly the season outside of one big play in KC), if there's ever been a time to step it up this week is it.

He probably would for the next couple weeks considering how banged up we are at DE. Obviously light years ahead of Mike Love.

Taron Johnson and Dane Jackson have both been big liabilities in pass coverage. As much as I want to give credit for Jackson being right up with his guy (something Levi Wallace continually struggled with), he never seems to make a play on the ball. Jackson is on a lot of receivers highlight reels right now, and it doesn't bode well to me. Get him off the field as soon as White is full go.

At the end of the day, somebody is going to be paying him a huge contract (barring injury). It might not be the Ravens, but there will be a GM who will bring him in for close to what he wants. This whole thing feels a lot like the Kyler Murray situation. I think that was a terrible idea for the Cardinals to give him a big contract, but I can see why they did it.

Who pissed in your cheerios man? So much anger for literally nothing.

I did miss that, thanks for the quote.

How mad do you think my in-laws would be if I take up valuable kitchen space to fry wings for the game?

The NFC has maybe 3 good teams, and the Vikings are likely one of them. They'll be fine.

It feels pretty unlikely that it's White keeping himself off the field. My guess is that the coaching staff aren't prepared to risk him with the level of play he's showing in practice, maybe he's not playing markedly better than Jackson/Benford/Elam yet.

I don't trust the team,the coaching staff, and maybe the QB to show up in the big moments anymore. I hate that watching football as a Bills fan is existential dread at what bonehead "shoot yourself in the foot" move they can do next. Allen was "king of the 4th", I want that guy back. I hope they respond well and act like the team we all thought they were, but I certainly don't expect it anymore.

I don't feel like that it's an excuse, frankly. Lots of other traded players from the deadline have made major contributions to their teams. This is a failure of the coaching staff.

I certainly hope he's not on the PS. I'll take rookie athletic upside at this point over Cam "I'm gonna make an INT 1 on 1 against the best WR in the league" Lewis. He looked terrible at safety. We traded for Dean Marlowe for him to ride the bench, apparently. If he's not better than a PS player who has never had an NFL game playing at that position then he shouldn't be on the roster.

Life is pain. Buffalo isn't allowed to have nice things, just shut up and eat your wings. The only happiness you're allowed is the rush that comes from jumping through a folding table 6 beers deep when it's -8 with the wind chill.

I don't understand this take at all. Duke looked like he was running in slow motion out there. When you're fielding the kick at your own 5-8 yard line, you should be consistently getting decent to great field position out of it.

It's how I feel about having Cam Lewis out there even though you just traded for Dean Marlowe. What's the point? I've lost a lot of faith in Dorsey and McDermott on gameday. Players have to execute, but damn it coaches can put them in better positions. We were marching down the field in OT, Allen has a big run, call the TO. Have him calm down and breathe. It seems straightforward to me. Ugh.

I'm not going to rewatch because my emotional sanity is fragile enough as it is but I thought that was Singletary who leaked out into the flat. He was wide open though, no doubt about that. Ugh. Just typing it out makes me feel sick.

Depends how many times Dorsey decides to send all the WRs to the end zone form the 20+ yard line.

I hate this excuse. The Vikings traded for Hockensen and he's immediately put to use, CMC is traded for and instantly slots into the 49ers hyper complicated run game. Such a joke to pretend that Hines couldn't know the playbook by now. The coaching staff are floundering.
