Low Positive

I can’t deal with two weeks of super bowl hype, so go KC.

I agree, but this year’s WR FA class is really not good at all. The draft is not particularly strong at WR either. It’s a really bad to be needing one and Beane will have to overpay or overdraft.

Movie has little to nothing to do with Tom Brady. It’s a road movie for aging boomer women. In other words, you all are not the target audience.

On the first drive (3 and out), the Bills tried to run the ball. By the time they got the ball again, they were down 14-0.

I don’t know about that. Josh willing the team to a TD was something to cheer about.

They started an omnibus thread for all the coaching changes. It was started when this news broke this afternoon.

Tua played the whole game on 12/17.

You can tell people who didn't spend all day on this board...

He's a sophomore.

Yeah, this was a garden variety NFL loss where one team jumps out to a lead and the other can't pick themselves off the mat. Kind of like the Colts game last year. If you want to name a game from this year, it should be the loss to the Vikings. That was a crazy game.

To be fair, he said that last year too.

Mayfield is a FA who finished the season on the Rams.

Old QB stats are interesting. You don't even have to go back to the 60's. Roger Staubach only had an over 60% completion percentage one time in 10 years. That year, he only had 286 attempts for 2,428 yards. Terry Bradshaw never cleared 60% completions. These guys were the two best QBs of the 70's. Dan Fouts is the only guy from the 70's whose numbers look remotely modern, but Derek Carr has better numbers than he did. Joe Montana was the first guy to have modern QB stats and he never threw for more than 4,000 yards. Mahomes has never had fewer than 4,000 in a season that he started and has thrown for more than 5,000 twice in his career. Different game, indeed.

After 13 seconds, I had hope that we were a SB quality team that just messed up in the clutch. This time, I have lost hope that this collection of guys has what it takes. Everyone is blaming coaching, but I'm afraid that the players themselves are not up to it. The Bills went all in this year, and have little cap space to make the necessary changes and this years draft doesn't look like a good one. So, this loss was way worse to me. Not to mention, I live in Cincinnati so it's extra painful.

I would think that coaching contracts go until the end of the league year.

Everyone talks about Brady, but Travis Kelce was a third round pick. He was the fifth TE picked. Gavin Escobar and Vance McDonald were picked before him. KC fell a** backward into the greatest TE of all time. It's all a crapshoot.

This just makes it more likely that Irsay hires Saturday, just to stick it to everyone.

Agreed. We often fall into a trap of comparing the players in a given draft to each other and saying things like "we got the third best OT in this draft in the third round. That's a steal." But that doesn't matter, because as soon as he's drafted the only comparison that matters is how he stacks up against the other 62 starting OTs in the NFL.

I would argue that out of that list, the only evaluation miss is Teller. Hodgins and Moss just went to teams that gave them touches. Moss' yards per carry still wasn't good, but his carries went through the roof once they shut down Taylor for the season. Hodgins was the #1 WR in NY and got a lot of targets.

And he didn't call the plays there either.

I guess we'll see that if they go somewhere else and thrive. We already know that Ford was a miss by the entire draft industry.

He's like Rich Bisaccia last year. Comes in and cleans up a mess. Gets the players to buy in after a difficult situation. Then, the owner goes out and hires a name HC.

Me too, but he was going to get either this job or the HC job in Arizona.

They drafted Matt Corral in the third last year who promptly got hurt in preseason. There may be something there.

No. He'll get an OC job somewhere once all the HC jobs are filled.
