Yep - I feel like I can just sit back and enjoy the rest of the playoffs now. Just the thought of the possibility of losing the last game filled me with so much dread - so glad it's behind us

I was reminded while re-watching the last game how often the DL changes throughout the game - not just different combinations, but also different guys lining up all over the place and coming from all different positions. Throughout the game all different bodies just coming in waves from everywhere - it's awesome to see. It is what McD has always preached and it seems totally dialed in right now One other thing - people have talked about Rousseau holding the edge, but I remember watching highlights after he was drafted and the thing that really stuck out was how he tracked guys scrambling and moving around even while being blocked - never lost sight of the QB and had a knack for breaking free and closing on the moving target and getting him down with his length and effort and closing speed. It hasn't been a huge part of his game this year - but I have no doubt the utility of that skill against a scrambling Mahomes was a huge reason he was drafted

There was a period this season where Diggs esp and some of the other receivers were showing frustration about getting held/bumped to the point where sometimes they seemed more interested on complaining and trying to get a flag (sometimes giving up on routes while the ball was still in the air) than just playing through the contact - haven't seen it as much lately - hopefully that is an emphasis this week

Just re-watched the game (again- I may never erase it from my DVR) and Gilliam was one guy who stood out to me when he was in - just going after people. One thing that is for sure, the blocking is awesome when guys are pulling and out in space - Morse and Brown especially. The blockers get a head of steam they are all looking to obliterate people

So - high level meeting? j/k 😛

Yeah the vibe I've gotten from the Bills team the last few weeks is loose, extreme confidence in themselves- not over-confidence which is a big distinction. Mentally, physically, on-field execution- they seem to be peaking at just the right time - for just the right game.

The most annoying play in sport

Dumb pass by Patrick - lucky no int

All they need is an 80 play drive

No - that's passing yards

Can Ben throw 13 yds?

Holy Crap - now we have to watch the Steelers O again

Ben needs to down a few chili dogs on the sidelines for fuel

Stillers should just put Kordell in and run the wildcat

Well there is an opening for America's Team rn

Like an old fat Mac Jones

Does anyone know if this could be Ben's last game?

Patrick star said "Duh!"

One of my pet peeves - coffin corner is a lost art. Back in the day all the great punters did it. Sure it is harder, but if you are a punter work on your craft man. Plus now all these stupid ST coordinators think they can do it with coaching/coverage if the punter just puts in down the middle which works 2% of the time. If I'm a ST coordinator my input to the GM is give me a punter who can do directional kicking and he'd be practicing it constantly

They might have had a chance if the ref could run faster lol

WTF McCarthy out-Shanahan'ed Shanahan

The end of this game is bonkers - entertaining if nothing else

How could they not show anything to folow up that injury - replay showing it happen, him walkig off field during break etc

Absolutely love the way McD has handled the situation. Even his first year you could tell he wasn't about the "kiss the rings", but unlike Rex he kept that fire internal and externally said the right boring things. The exception being the way-overblown comment after the hurricane game where he wasnt about to call Bellicheat a genius just because the Bills didn't capitalize on so many chances to put the game away. There's never been fear or worship - i like to believe he feels like a lot of us do about Bellicheat - F him - his time is done.

How great would it be to have the Cheaters and The Cheater both dumped out of the playoffs in less than 24 hrs
