Chaos

who do you blame?

even worse than losing your shot at the #1 seed by letting Matt Stafford hang 44 on you.

Yes. I also don't think any owner ever explicitiy told a coach he was about to fire to tank. The innuendo method in the post you replied to, is the method used. What you said would not happen.

Giants would be sanctioned significantly if something like that came to light.

Colts are out, removed from the poll, if you voted for the colts, you can revote.

My brief time as a Colts fan is coming to a bitter end.

QB controversy unleashed.

Mercy rule. Pull Rodgers. Sit Allen.

Keon "ladd" Coleman

Jets brand of ball

Rdogers blows. Slower than Miller.

The ghost of Milano's past

I think the Jets are already playin their brand of football.

This was the stupidiest preseason analysis possible. It was predicated on the idea that delicate Tua and Old Man Rodgers were somehow leading the Jets and Dolphins to glory. It was ludicrous.

and if a starter is injured another guy goes in. This is not even close to a bye. A true bye, also allows for an extra week of preparation.

Rodgers is so bad this year. It is comedy gold.

the crowd is the best part of the defense

Oline allows a jail break Blitz. Superman shrugs it off. Zero drops the pass. sigh.

No such thing. 45 guys will be at some level of injury risk in week 18,.

we dont get a bye week with the second seed.

McDermott has put himself in a postition to have a chance to win it all this year. If he succeeds his tenure in Buffalo will probably be the lenght of George Halas. If he does not succeed, I will probably asking people if Dan Reeves was a good coach, and the logical answer is yes. And the followup question: was Dan Reeves as good as Michael Shannahan, and the logical answer is no. If we don't get to the Super Bowl this year, is it time to look for our Michael Shannahan, or do simply not take such a chance.

The playoff structure is broken. Having the #1 seed be the only bye, and having the advantage of re-bracketing the playoffs after each round is too big of an advantage in a league with unbalanced schedules. But that is the rule. And Andy Reid clearly grasps that the week 1 game counts as much as the week 15 game, and is prepared and grinds every game. McDermott did a fine job getting to 12-3. But McDermott's attention to every detail (going back to 13 seconds) is a cut below the Chiefs, and this coaching difference is arguably the primary reason the Chiefs are the #1 seed, and Bills are not, despite having beaten the Chiefs. The Bills have a legit shot at the Super Bowl this year. The #1 seed advantages give the Chiefs a better shot. But all the teams are flawed, including the Chiefs,and the Bills chances are second best in the NFL (in my opinion). If Bills win the Super Bowl, the decision to ride with McDermott (currently only Tomlin, Harbaugh and Reid are longer tenured with their team) for as long as they have will be validated. If the Bills don't advance to the Super Bowl, the offseason threads will be dominated by two themes. 1. One group of fans insisting that the Bills 2024 season was a coaching miracle of taking a bunch of injured misfits to the playoffs (backed by the ridiculous pre-season narratives that the Jets and Dolphins were far better positioned to win the AFC East) 2. Another group of fans asking "Is eight seasons enough time for a head coach with a potential Hall of Fame QB on the roster a fair chance to get to the Super Bowl?" Both groups of posters will be 100% sure there is no possible legimate point of view expressed by the posters in the opposing group.

If Harlan wants to improve his relevance the actual expression should be "hurdling guys like they are Josh Allen". Renaldo Nehemiah never hurdled a player in the NFL,

Ok

A lot broke against the Broncos yesterday, leaving the door open for the Bengals, Dolphins and Colts. I am thinking the Chiefs are going to rest everyone next week, and let the Broncos win to keep the Bengals out of the playoffs. But if the Chiefs beat the Broncos. I think the Colts control their destiny. If Broncos, Colts, Bengals and Dolphins all finish 9-8 then I think the Colts come in as the seventh seed. I would rather play the Colts than the Bengals or Dolphins. So I am a Colts and Browns fan today.
