Low Positive

Yeah, it’s called confirmation bias. Its just so much worse now that we have instant access to any and all information.

Harbaugh and Spanos might not make two years.

Everyone here in Cincinnati is very sure that they will promote the QB coach Dan Pitcher.

And for the most part, Hochuli stayed out of it. It was a great game to watch for neutral fans. But then again so was 13 seconds.

That was a great game. I didn't like the outcome, but it was a great game.

This board, since about 11:00 on Sunday night, has been one big example of confirmation bias and absolute dichotomous thinking.

Just as an aside, the Bills went offense for their first two picks last year. That fact seems to be conveniently forgotten in these parts.

jim Harbaugh is going to the Chargers. Belichick is going to the Falcons. Those are givens that will be announced tomorrow.

I have sat in the same chair for every win this year. I couldn't this week because that furniture was moved to the basement in preparation for new furniture delivery tomorrow. I wanted to watch the game down there, but it is really cold here so I watched the game in a folding chair in the living room. Sorry guys.

This is the best message board in the NFL. I read all the other ones, and the personal attacks and swearing makes them very toxic. The conversation here is usually more civil due to the moderation. It's you and the other mods that make this place what it is.

My take is that it was a great football game between two good teams. Someone had to lose. Unfortunately, it had to be the Bills again. We are looking for absolutes and/or excuses but it just came down to a few plays.

Even with Burrow's contract, they have a lot of cap space. Their problem is a cash-poor owner who can't afford to do the cap gymnastics that other owners do. Also, Tee is going to get paid like a #1 when he isn't one. He drops a lot of passes.

Sure, but the game was still RIGHT THERE at the end for the taking. That had nothing to do with injuries to the defense.

Same thing was true with Mike McDaniel, Kevin O'Connell, Shane Steichen, and Zac Taylor himself.

Let me give you an on-the-ground report from Cincinnati. Bengals fans think that Taylor is a horrible playcaller and wanted those duties handed to Callahan. They complain about a lack of motion and creativity that gets covered up by Burrow and Chase. Oh, and they all want Anarumo fired most of all. The Bengals had one of the worst defenses this year. Bills fans don't know this because they played their best game of the year against us.

They might have to make an internal coaching hire too. Who wants to move their family just to have Tepper fire them in 8 months?

Sounds to me like he doesn't have much of a choice but to test free agency.

The Ravens fall-off last year was because Lamar got hurt. The big difference this year is that, for once, he played in all the games.

No. Because if we had scored a TD there we would have only been up 3 and we know how that story would have ended. Josh did throw it into the EZ twice. They were going for a TD. They just didn't connect. If you want to sum up the entire game by one play, it was Chris Jones driving Dawkins into Allen to stop that TD. It was a great play by a great player.

I hope that the Ravens do win, because it will break that stupid 5-year rule that everyone likes to cite.

All we need is Josh to dress up as McDermott for Halloween to complete the cycle.

Every game is it’s own world. In the past, McDermott did a good job stopping Lamar. I think that we had a shot.

Mahomes was not a sure thing at all coming out of college. He didn't win in the Big 12 and he was coming from the Air Raid offense that had yet to produce an NFL QB. In hindsight, it was a poor decision to trade that pick but at the time the Chiefs took a pretty big risk. The fact that he can sit in the pocket and run through his progressions is a huge surprise because he never did that in high school or college. There is also no guarantee that the Bills take Jefferson. Remember, Jalen Reagor was drafted before him.

I know that you're joking, but coach contracts don't count against the cap. Money won't be the reason that McDermott is not let go.
