Low Positive

The Eagles, as an organization, just want the rest of the league to declare their genius 1908 flying wedge play unstoppable and concede the yard. BTW, Kelce false starts on that play every time. It's in the play design for him to drop and start moving forward before snapping the ball.

They cannot have organized practices over the bye per the CBA.

Albert Breer wrote a really interesting article on Tepper and why he fires coaches left and right: https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/11/28/carolina-panthers-david-tepper-frank-reich-fired-philosophy The upshot is that he thinks like a hedge fund manager and "doesn't let one mistake become two." He's got his hand in all aspects of the team, but he doesn't know football and tries to apply what he knows from finance (a results business) to sports (a process business). Football is ultimately a results business but sometimes a rebuilding team needs to let a process play out but he wants to get results right away. He cuts his losses really quickly, but that has resulted in over 20% of the games that the Panthers have played since he bought the team being coached by an interim. He has a roster full of players that were drafted for other systems. Apparently what drove him nuts this time was some in-game decision-making regarding attempting long FGs and questionable time-outs. It's like how a TBDer would fire coaches if they were given the power. I know that Pegula can be a bit too patient with McDermott, but the other extreme is even worse.

He is always hurt in Cincinnati and tends to drop of lot of balls. Just not against the Bills.

They did sign Orlando Brown in Free Agency last year, but their only draft pick on the OL was Jackson Carman in second in 2021. They keep trying to overpay guys that other teams are fine moving on from and drafting defense. The majority of their picks since drafting Chase with their first in 2021 have been DEs and DBs.

The Bengals are finally going to have to draft an OT in the first round. Otherwise, they are "Andrew Lucking" Joe Burrow.

This one wouldn't be sticking with any of us if they had not lost to the Jets, Pats, and the Broncos. That was a great game between two really good teams. It just so happens that one of those good teams lost three games that they had no business losing so this loss means much more than it should.

Up until this year, you would have said the same thing about Ohio State

The worst part of this is that we have to sit with that loss for two weeks.

Jim Harbaugh will be the next head coach of the Los Vegas Raiders. Just seems like a Mark Davis type of move.

All night tonight Romo was talking about “championship pedigree.” Winning is a learned trait. I’ve said for years that we lose these close games because our guys are not winners.

Joe Burrow won a National Championship. He also took a perennial loser to the Ohio state championship game. This is a thing.

I’ve said this for years and gotten eye rolls. Joe Burrow won in Highschool and in college. Josh Allen hasn’t won at any level. These things matter.

The Eagles are filled with national champions. We have guys with traits. We also don’t have HS state champions. Winners know how to win.

Absolutely it does. I’m proof of that. But our international friends?

I don’t know why you people that aren’t from WNY put up with this stuff. You could all be Chiefs fans and no one would be the wiser. I was born to this crap.

Smallest market in the league?

I’m not one to blame him for this loss. But a high number of his INTs have been on that same play with DBs baiting him into them.

Because he’s very publicly leading the “trade Josh Allen” brigade and seeks any narrative to support his hot take. Its Internet 101.

And he’s thrown an INT on that same play a bunch of times. Remember Peppers in the NE game saying how he did it? This time, the DB took a half step back to bait Josh to throw to the low guy and then jumped the route. The book is out.

Exactly this. That was a damn good football game between two really great teams. But because the Bills lost to the Pats, Jets and Broncos it ended their season. Oh well. I could get angry, but what good does that do?

Josh cannot read the DB on those deep choice concepts. He just can’t.

His plant food slipped.

He wants to trade Josh Allen for picks.

So true. But they might not lose another game until week 18 in Baltimore. Their schedule is a joke.
