I am aware, of course. I was using this case to make a general statement about the interviewing rules

This timeline does not sit well with me. Coordinators should not be interviewing for new jobs in the days leading up to playoff games. I am aware that this is within the rules, but I dont like it. I dont want the coordinators distracted.

(Warning - speculation ahead) If true, it is entirely likely that McD leaned on Daboll around the Bucs game to change the play calls to a more balanced approach. If Daboll didnt like that, then I say him leaving is for the betterment of the O going forward. Clearly the O was more balanced and dangerous towards the end of the season and into the playoffs. Something changed and it must be McD forcing Daboll to curb his natural proclivities.

Lee Evans had dropped it

New faces in the SuperBowl and no idea who will play how. Will playoff choker Stafford show up again? Will Burrow show 2nd year yips on the big stage? Entirely unpredictable and I dont give a rat's tushy who wins and loses. I am quite excited. No, really, I am.

Get 'er done, Beane (ducks)

My complaint against Frazier is that when his schemes are not good they fail horrendously and irreversibly in-game. Happened a couple of times last season and this season in the first NE game, critical times of the Chiefs game. Last season I felt that much of the failing of the D was due to Frazier's coaching but a few knowledgeable folks in here were of the opinion that it was more due to the players than Frazier. This year's lofty D rankings seemed to suggest they were right and I was wrong but I still get the niggling feeling that something is amiss. Sure we need a couple of key pieces (CB, LB) but every damn team needs "couple of key pieces". I think we had sufficient talent to win it all. But for next season, we absolutely need to upgrade - fill the gaps and leap frog the competition, Chiefs, Titans, Colts, pats** wont be sitting still

It took Reid and Payton a long, long time (and future HOF QBing) to succeed consistently in the playoffs But @PatsFanNH said that BB doesnt want a QB like Allen 😁

Not directly related to JP, but I am excited to see two American girls now in the Semis. There has been a dearth of dominant women players post-Serena , Venus and a Sharapova. But in this fragmented landscape, Madison Keys and Danielle Collins will fight #1 Ash Barty and #7 Swiatek. Go USA girls!

Its no longer enough to just be better than they were this season. Reid, Vrabel and Reich will also be trying to do it. The goal should be to leapfrog the others else we will forever be playing catch up with the Chiefs the way Marino & Shula did in the early 90s

Sounds like speculation than "insider information" Its entirely possible that Bass intended to kick it to the 5 or 10 yard line but misjudged it. Thinking about the physics involved and the precision of 10 yards, I can see how this could have happened. But yes, it can be marked as imperfect execution. Still, the D allowing the march towards a FG is more inexcusable than the kickoff. Also, given the furious nature of the final 2 minutes of regulation, both D's must have been tired which Reid and Mahomes successfully exploited with a faster pace in OT. Yet the D still should contained their O to at least limit them to a FG and give Allen and the O another chance. We can blame the ST all we want but the more egregious errors were made by the D.

Getting draft picks is fine, but fixing such issues is more important. At the level where Bills are competing, we will need a steady DC who wont panic or try to get too cute in critical situations. We have to overcome the Chiefs barrier in the playoffs but need to also keep in mind that we need to better counter act teams such as the Titans and Colts.

JP overchieved given her ranking. She did very well in last year's Aussie Open. Ironically, she lost in the quarter finals, which is the equivalent of the NFL divisional round ( round of 8 )

I would really like to go to one or more of the majors , hopefully before the big 3 of men's tennis retire. As for Djokovic, I always say that he may end up winning more majors than the other two but he will never win the hearts and minds of tennis fans like Federer and Nadal have.

For those of you interested , JP's match against the world number one is at 4 am Eastern time tonight. Go Jessica!

Romo said just before the end of the game that it is incredulous that Allen has thrown for 9 TDs in 2 games of the playoffs and may still end up losing this game. 9 TDs - 0 INTs in the playoffs puts QBs in the SB, not on a couch watching the conference championship games

Too soon

It was a tough call to not challenge but the chances of winning were low as he double clutched it. Saving the TO instead of burning it on a low probability challenge was the right decision.

Its morning and ~11 hours later - feels worse than it did last night. We had it, we had it, dammit!!! Its always something that stops us from winning the big ones. Its going to be a miserable morning and week.

Not funny but my wife said the game is over when 13 seconds were left. My friends started texting congratulations and my response was "I am a Bills fan. The game is not over till the clock reads all zeros"

This loss is on the D

Oh stop with the Bills scoring 19 points!!

Bills 30 - Chefs 27

I wonder if Reid plans a lot of no-huddle to avoid us rotating D linemen
