AI sucks.

I was talking ex ante.

Up 21-14. I'll take it.

Detroit is real good. This will be 15 rounds.

I don't know how this team with so many achilles heels and so poorly coached can be up 14-0 on the best team in football. Luck I suppose.

God, I hate threads like this.

Good question. I don't know. It would have been nice to find out though. But that also was the gamble McD took when he accepted the penalty. Just did not work out.

I am sure you think it was obviously correct-- we just disagree. Say on 3rd and 17, Rams gained nothing, or 3 or 5-- good decision. It was a calculated risk that ultimately made a two-yard negative difference. Given that Rams went for it and gained 12, you saying it was a big difference is an interesting opinion with which I disagree. If they gained 5 you might have a point. But taking or declining the penalty, IMO, was a matter of judgment and McD took a more aggressive approach than you would have. Which is kind of ironic that you prefer the cautious approach. Candidly I could have gone either way.

How about going for it on 4th down late against KC this year and shutting the door-- does that answer your "damn" question. And the second point is silly. If LA went for it on 4th and 5, you think things would be different if 4th and 7 instead. If you think that would have been a shrewd move, I've got some swampland to sell you.

They win the West if they beat Seattle again. Got Jets and Cards so they beat Seattle they likely go 11-6.

But none of the PIs

With 15 guys. 😀

Stafford looks awful.

Interesting to watch Bills last two opponents. Bills ragdolled SF and Rams had their way on O with Bills. Watching Stafford and Rams so far, after playing nearly perfect O last week, they seem spent.

The Bills luck continues unabated.😃

Well, the clear view here seems to be Hamlin and Douglas stink, and Rapp mostly injures his teammates by launching himself into them. So, what are we truly down here, given the expertise on this Board?

He seems like a genuinely nice person. Hard to be when you are a billionaire.

Wasting the best years of Joe Burrow.😁

Line down to 1.5. Given that folks around here saying Lions will lay 90 points on Bills, seems like that makes Lions a great wager. Who is betting on the Bills?

Agree. Bottom line is McD was not great at the end with his decision making, but it almost certainly did not change the outcome so it is not a big deal. McD has shown a capacity for growth and learning-- going for it on 4th down against KC for example-- so as I said earlier, maybe he learns something here that cost nothing and it will be a blessing in disguise.

Yes, but I think their chances were de minimis after the sneak failed because of the time it would take to unravel that pile. With no time out, there would only have been 40-45 seconds left when Bills did score on next play.

I agree. And I am hoping this game turns out to be a blessing in disguise. It is much better to see this happen in early December than January. Getting undressed like that, McD and Babich have to go to school and have a plan when it starts to happen in a playoff game. Now perhaps they can't fix it, but at least now they have a month to work on it. Losing this game to NFC team is no big deal. Does this help them come playoff time is the real question? You know, that which does not kill me only makes me stronger-- and this loss certainly did not kill them.

Probably. But by the time they unraveled the pile another 15 seconds at least would run before a spike and they would be down to 45 seconds or so. Basically, they went all in on the sneak working. But your point is fair.

How do you figure. It was PI in end zone. On the 1, not the 1 1/2. And the rest of this on Allen is just people projecting. We lost, it's
