Low Positive

Oh, I thought it would be like college head coaches who have to leave as soon as they get a new job. I always hate how they abandon the kids they demanded loyalty and respect from to be coached by an assistant in a bowl game. It especially sucked when Brian Kelly left UC for ND and the Bearcats were coached by an interim in the Sugar Bowl.

Mac threw for 382 last week.

It would really suck to have to play out the remainder of the season without a QB coach.

There has to be more to this. It’s probably disciplinary. He might have missed a practice or slept through a team meeting.

Edmunds being back in the middle will help all the DBs.

We ran it a lot against the Browns. 29 for 172, so he will run the ball if the situation and opponent calls for it. But I do think that the Pats run D is a lot better than the Browns.

Probably was late for a team meeting or something like that. Or, they plan on playing Rhodes a bunch. I also think that they won't play nearly as much nickel tonight and will sell out to stop the run. I expect blitzes coming from everywhere.

Greg Cossell

I doubt they would sign him. They would elevate him for a game to see what he has left in the tank if he has looked good in practice. Then if he contributes, they would sign him.

I'm not sure that's true. The Burfect hit happened in 2016. The first crazy thing that I remember Brown doing was the Facebook Livestream from the locker room after a loss. That was in 2017.

Von obviously was willing to give it a go but the Bills shut him down. This team's refusal to let guys not named Josh Allen go out there and play through injury baffles me. If they are "saving him for the playoffs," they are really misguided. If the Bills lose these next three games they won't make the playoffs. The Bills only have one easy(ish) game left on the schedule. I don't know why this is the news that has finally pushed me into the doom and gloom mood but it has. It feels like, yet again, this is not going to be the Bills year.

Great. Now he'll infect the Bills D-Line. They should make him play with a mask on.

Exactly. There haven't even been any Instagram workout videos AFAIK.

And most of those skill position players, including the QB, are still on their rookie contracts. The Bengals with their poor ownership (and I mean that literally) have a very small SB window.

Raining and in the 50's. Tua is going to be wearing a winter parka on the sideline.

23/37 for 240 yards is all-pro level?

Teams don't usually let the good ones go. [cue Wyatt Teller post].

Well then I'm glad the Bills have a superhuman at the most important position in sports.

I say we just forfeit the game. We have no talent on offense and a lot of money coming in on the Pats. We'll get 'em next year, I suppose.

Agree on all except for Mixon. He has sort of fallen off the RB cliff this year. Outside of one game against the Panthers, he has not produced much. He only has 605 yards on 158 attempts. He has a lower YPC than Motor.

That Bengals turnaround was really weird. I live here and nobody here even expected it. And their offense is quite literally "throw up 50-50 balls to Chase and Higgins." And we all expected them to fall back to earth this year but here they are again tied for the division lead and getting hot going into the playoffs.

I was just joking of course. In all seriousness, I expect to see Hines involved in the offense a lot more tonight. He had his first full week of practice and his first practices with Josh as a full participant this week.

OL is the hardest position group to fill. You have to massively overpay in FA and they are hard to project coming out of college. Also, the best OTs (the ones that are so good that they project easily) tend to go in the first half of the first round. So, listening to Greg Cossell and the negative posters (and resident Dolphins' fan) here on TBD that are luxuriating in his podcast hot take, the best course of action is for the Bills to lose out so that they can finish 8-9 and get that pick. Someone call up WGR and suggest that. They'll love that take.

I think one at a time. Poyer gone after this year and Hyde the year after that.
