I could see McDermott setting up a self-imposed bubble for the playoffs, and I think the players would buy-in. As for players preferentially getting the vaccine, I don’t think so. It’s just a game. I love football, but the only reason they’re still playing (when everyone is preaching social distancing) is for tax revenues.

Touchdown Mike is also available. Get the band back together.

I think turnover number (not differential, which adds in the offensive turnover wrinkle) is a good measure. Usually turnovers occur when chaos is being dealt on the field. Certainly when there is a fumble, but also interceptions when the QB is being harassed.

Which defensive player had the bigger impact on the outcome of the game?

Not only this, but people equally credit Daboll for Allen’s success as well. Who exactly has Daboll developed prior to Allen? He bounced around various bottom feeders as OC with little success before retreating to Alabama. I would attribute Allen’s success as: 10% Daboll, 20% Palmer, 20% better surrounding talent (Beane), and 50% Allen himself. The guy has a compete level off the charts. He’ll be fine without Daboll.

I generally agree with this post, except for the fluke play part. If it was just a fluke, it wouldn’t have happened 2 weeks in a row. Not a fluke.

The problem is you don’t take your foot off the gas when you are playing Tom Brady. Any coach in the NFL knows this and I don’t think the Chiefs purposely decided to lay back and get comfortable with their lead. What happened was there was a correction towards the mean in terms of play. The Chiefs aren’t perfect. The Bills aren’t either.

Agreed.

This is probably just the league drawing a line in the sand. This is obviously an ongoing problem and they can’t just keep rescheduling games. If your QB or whatever gets Covid, tough *****. You’re playing. Better prepare for the worse.

This thread is entertaining. Multiple Bills coaches believe that the team is better with Morse sitting. It doesn’t matter what some our preconceived notions are, how much the team is paying him, or how much we think we know about NFL OL play. The people who actually matter and likely know a lot more than we do have made a decision. Is there any reason why we should assume they are wrong?

Or, still wincing in pain when they try to manipulate it. I could see a veteran doing this to land on a contender (as I wouldn’t want to sign with SF or the Bengals either), but I believe his salary is guaranteed to paid by ATL this year anyways. Then again, he asked to be traded and there, he wouldn’t had any power in picking his team. You would think one of these teams would at least sign him and then shelf him for the rest of the year on IR or the PS.

You think it’s possible he is failing his physical on purpose to get on to the team he wants?

Typical Fitz.

I see no problem if they chose to bench him. No starter should feel comfortable enough to underperform. If a coach thinks they are cutting it, then they take some time off to think about it. That said, I still wonder if this is tied to Spain’s cryptic tweet.

RBs are a dime-a-dozen, right? You just plug any late round back in and we’re good, right?

Can we make this retroactive for Anthony Lynn? Plus, if we had hired Lynn, would we have received the Brownie points? Would it be better off to let another team hire him then?

I wouldn’t say that was a meltdown. Dude just got emotional because he was just drafted into the NFL.

Doooomed!

I’d send a 2nd rounder plus Trent Murphy for a good 1 tech DT. If a FA next year, we can cross that bridge when we get to it. I don’t have much faith in the 2021 draft.

I don’t get this TE trade talk. Is our defensive strategy going to be keeping them off the field as much as possible?

Dontari Poe is on there. Get er done Russ.

This is the problem with our division. There have been constant tire fires, but not a single one will trade with us due to us being in the division.

ProcessGuy17?

With the expanded PSs this year, I’m finding it difficult to understand why Beane can’t find some big, fat space eater stashed somewhere In the league. I may be wrong, but it sounds skill takes a back seat to size here. Plus, the guy would be youngish and hold more promise. Maybe Beane isn’t looking? I do think we need an upgrade in the LB coaching ranks. Something isn’t quite right there. Edmunds shouldn’t be making the same mistakes week in and week out.

Then we see them come in as coaches.
