I agree that Allen is not trusting Keon right now, and basically not looking his way (which is obviously limiting).

So we have 4 guys here with routes that break 5 yards short of the sticks. Not sure I understand the play call on 3rd down. It’s like the goal is to get to 4th and short or something.

For better or worse, Allen will not give up on a 3rd down and punt by throwing it away, running out of bounds, or throwing well short of the sticks. Live to fight another day is not in his vocabulary.

I think Brady is the problem, and the offense is operating well under its potential. We can’t even pass the ball with the best QB in the league. There are talent issues at WR, but a good OC can do things to work around that. The Texans game tape was absolutely brutal. Spamming mesh and leaving our tackles on an island while Allen got beat up. To bring this back on topic…the offense should put up 30+ on this Bengals defense.

Hopefully he’s the head coach of some college team this time next year.

I think our best win was vs the Chiefs. Maybe it isn’t the Chiefs of the past, but they still play every one tough and it is one of the few games where McDermott/Brady actually outcoached the opposition.

Call me crazy, but I think the Dolphins are going to be 9-7 going into their final game of the season vs the Pats. They are 4-1 in their last 5 games and their remaining schedule looks manageable.

I remember a story from last year that made the national news about Bills mafia pushing a little girl over who was a fan of an opposing team. Pretty sure it was on good morning America. The parents had to go home it was so traumatizing! Of course a few days later after the news cycle turns over the truth is revealed that she was lightly nudged to an adjacent seat from an unshoveled snow covered aisle while an impatient crowd was walking by. Something that happens 100 times every game. It’s always best to wait a couple days and see about the veracity of these stories.

A 5 or 6 seed hosting the AFCCG would be crazy

Well, we know from this game that if a team pukes all over themselves, the Pats can hold on to win at home. I don't think any more insights can be gleaned from this one.

Without the special teams blunders this could basically be a 3 point game right now. Giants special teams lost them this game.

So much has gone wrong for the Giants, I’m not really sure you can read much from this game. - Punt return TD - Kick into the dirt, would have made it a one score game - Punt return fumble with a player KO’d on his feet - Personal foul on o-lineman standing up for his QB killing a drive Just a bunch of weird stuff, all going the Pats way. Even a team with average coaching/discipline won’t have this stuff happen.

I mean, it was definitely close.

Not that it matters, but I’m not totally sure that was a catch. Depends on if you think he had possession when his first foot was down. Otherwise his knee hit before 2 feet were down.

Should be a tied game right now
