Oh, come now. Spill the Tea.

Really well put. Mahomes was carrying on as though the flag was a walk-off loss. Instead he got a repeat of the down, and 2 more downs, three tries to convert, AND if the play had stood, the Bills did still have time, timeouts, and Josh Allen. Toney didn't just catch the lateral. Kelce was open because in a pretty blatant pick play (my opinion) Toney wiped out the defender who was covering Kelce. That's a penalty, too. And, as usual, the Chiefs RT was lined up in an illegal formation well into the backfield. There could have been three separate flags on that play.

Thanks. So it's being reported by Tom Curran. He's legit, Patriots Insider with NBCSports Boston. I don't think there's someone quite similar with the Bills but a while back it would be like Vic Carruci reported it, or now a days like if Sal Capaccio and Thad Brown had a sports reporter child. That's a disturbing image, actually, I think I'd best log out.

I don't think we're going to see Daquan Jones until he has been "designated to return" and has participated in practice for a couple of weeks. Even if his pec is ready to go, he needs to build back into "game shape"

I see a lot of tweets (or whatever they're called now" referencing this "NBC report", but where is the link to said NBC Report, and who is the NBC reporter who made it?

I'm sorry, but the OP post referenced the Fins C injury as "The cards keep falling Buffalo's way". I'm not feeling sorry for the Fins, but viewing their C's injury as a card falling our teams way is a Bridge too Far IMHO. You do You though.

That's a reasonable take. The whole premise of the Bills FO last season was that they didn't need to replace Sanders or Beasley because Davis and McKenzie were ready to step up, with Jamison Crowder and rookie Khalil Shakir as Plan B. That premise did not prove out and Plan B was from outer space.

It was pointed out in the post-game thread that KC's defense is one of the best in the league against the pass. 4th in pass Y/A, tied for 3rd in sacks, 3rd in sack %, 5th in QB hits, 2nd for pressure %, 5th for hurry %. So while I'd love to see more investment in OL, esp. at C and RT, it has to be understood that even the very best pass protecting OLs are not going to keep their QB looking comfortable in the pocket against the very best pass defenses. There have to be other strategies available.

Well, people have made a point that the OL seems to be holding on the TV view just before it switches downfield. So I'd love to hear from someone with the all-22

He talked about them in a presser. He said he hadn't talked to his brother personally, that his brother was not speaking as an insider to the organization but from the outside as a fan, without insight into the organization. He said he would hope that people would come at it from a place of respecting that it's his family, his brother, but he also said he's not responsible for what his grown-ass brother feels or says on social media, and media should take it up with him and not expect Stef to answer for what bro says:

Mango, I lack all-22. If you have it, especially if you have the little moving diagram thing, can you look at what kind of pressure Josh had at the point where Davis was open and Josh threw? In the televised view which shows Josh protected, then looks downfield, it's hard to see what was going on at the point where Josh had to decide.

That seems like "Whattaboutism" as presented here. I'm not saying that Trevon Diggs tweets weren't an issue, but they were discussed in their own threads at the time, along with Diggs response to them. It seems as though one really should be able to discuss this current issue without calibrating it against other family members weighing in.

You say that because those things commonly ARE regarded as reflections of one's character. They are also commonly described as "making the issue personal". "Don't make it personal" as standard advice to people managers and leaders dealing with problematic behavior doesn't mean "don't talk about an employee's home life at work" (one definition of personal) It means stick to the issue at hand: the observed workplace behavior, the impact it has on team members or deliverables, and so forth. Refusal to take accountability is a perceived issue or behavior at work. Attributing that issue or behavior to a cause like jealousy, insecurity, psychological inability to form relationships, or narcissism is, in fact, "making it personal" or making it about that person's character. That would be why, as @JohnNord commented above, "Just about everyone on the Bills and in the media said that it was personal". They said so because according to the definition of personal they're using (commenting on the inner person, their internal motivations, psychosocial traits, or character), it was personal. I go back to my Rorschach Test now

Not bad analogy.

I raised my kid to be independent and able to take care of herself. I always thought part of being a parent was trusting children you've raised to be able to fight their own battles.

...two years later he started 11 games for a playoff team, three years later he made the pro bowl and became a second-team all-pro for an 8-9 team You wanna do Zay Jones as well? Two years after his Daddy called our QB out on the Twitters, he broke 500 yds on a 47 reception season, 3 years later on his 3rd team he broke 800 yds and started to look like he could play NFL football.

Oh, Gawd, please reconsider the way you worded this. That's a horrible way to view a football player's serious injury, even if he plays for an opposing team. Buffalo should mind their own store and take care of their own business.

I believe that was his father (Zay Jones). Though perhaps you might say his father was a mutha?

Riiiiight. He had 12 (twelve) targets and 6 receptions vs. Philidelphia the previous week. 6 (six) targets and 2 receptions vs. Denver. Way to select metrics. And Hot Mama needs to chill down.

Yeah, I'm not sure Micah Parsons can be overpowered with pure emotion. Seems like foot speed and impeccable blocking technique might be needed, and getting the ball out decisively and fast would be good too. So this is an aside, but I looked up sack stats on Google. And not to take away from Parson who is indeed a one-man wrecking crew, but I'm a bit surprised by how many defenses with a pass rusher ahead of Parsons on the Sack list we've actually faced: Josh Allen with JAX, Maxx Crosby with LVR, Trey Hendrickson from Cincy. Of course, in 2 out of 3 of those cases, it didn't go so well. And hopefully, that's advice the Bills are taking to heart. One game at a time. Dallas is up, win against them first.

So I have a "rules" question about that play. First off, it was a thing of beauty. The Chiefs D had no idea that play was a possible choice there. Dawkins and Morse did a fantastic job giving Josh a hole with Spencer Brown out in front. Spencer Brown remained ahead of the pile, as the rest of the guys were pushing Josh he had his back to the goal line and it looked as though he was pulling. But as Josh approached the goal line, he stepped back and raised his arms in the universal "see refs, I'm an innocent man!" gesture. Why? Is there a rule about pulling your own player forward over the goal line?

Oh, Geesh. Kid gets to take over on a short week, too.

And this, of course. Shady McCoy took flak for it, but he called it correctly when the Kaepernick stuff first emerged. The amount of distraction or trouble a team will tolerate is directly proportional to their talent at their position, and the importance of that position. (It was a pretty firm Dis on Kaepernick's talent actually, since QB is arguably the most important position on the team) Who was that punter who was leading the league in punt length, but poor in directional control? Was it Bojorquez? He refused to re-sign with Buffalo because he wanted to play on the West Coast, felt he should be able to dictate his contract terms 'cuz, leading the league in punt length, signed with one of the Cali teams that already had a punter, and wound up getting traded to Green Bay?

Legally, that's not quite what this means. It's more like a "mutually assured destruction" tactic in civil suits where defending the defamation countersuit can drain the finances of the accuser who filed a civil suit because lawyers defending you demand payment up front (there's no chance they'll get paid by a settlement if they win, after all). So the accuser is maneuvered into a financial position to agree to drop the case. Florio had commentary about this legal strategy back when the accusations against DeShaun Watson first came out. Surprised it took this long once the defamation countersuit was filed. "He, She, or It" ???????? Well....it IS California
