Hines is the best return man the Bills have ever had, and the team has lost five one-score games. I don’t understand the argument that he would not have made a difference this year.

On what basis do you say that? I'll confess that I can't tell what's going on in the pile-up, but to me it looks a lot like a collapsed rugby scrum, which is how many serious neck injuries occur in that sport. I'd be curious to hear the opinions of defensive lineman who have actually had to defend it.

Agreed…especially roughing the passer, but this was tried with DPI and the results weren’t what people had hoped for…

Always used to be illegal, until a few years ago…”aiding the runner”. It’s a matter of time before someone (probably a DT) gets his neck broken in one of those scrums. It needs to be outlawed now, but the NFL cares nothing about player safety.

The fact that the Chiefs have such an awful WR group is an enormous front office fail. It should not be that hard to surround Pat Mahomes with a few decent receivers. It’s probably going to prevent them from winning another Super Bowl.

Their RT is useless, and they know it.

Devastating

"One of the coaches previous to him may have pulled him or had a quarterback competition." McDermott thought so highly of JA that he started Nathan Peterman ahead of him😀

You're having memory failure. McDermott's plan was to start Peterman during Josh's rookie season, but Peterman was so awful that that plan never even got off the ground. Giving McDermott credit for Josh Allen's success is the hugest of stretches... The team McDermott took over was a .500 team under Rex f-ing Ryan, hardly a completely bare cupboard...he broke the drought by taking them to 9-7. BFD

I guess if you don’t believe byes have any value then you won’t be convinced…

Go Jets

Impossible to say, because the entire schedule would have changed, but safe to say that a bye at that point would have been better than no bye until brink of elimination.

Teams that played games overseas were given the option of having their bye the following week or later in the season. McDermott chose to have it later.

But if we lose to Philly, it's pretty much over anyway

So you don't think the Bills could have used a bye week sometime over the past month or so?

I think you're confusing McDermott with Josh Allen. Without him, McDermott is just another drought-era bum, indistinguishable from the likes of Dick Jauron, Gregggg Williams, etc.

It would be sadly ironic, given all the injuries this teams is fighting through, that their precious bye week might come after they are effectively eliminated from playoff contention...another poor McDermott decision (he had the option of taking the bye week immediately after the London game).

Same with the TD to Johnson on 4th and short…where has that been all year?

I’m kinda surprised Matt Barkley hasn’t played for someone this year…he’s better than a lot of the bums who’ve been taking snaps around the league this year…

See if your QB can take a hit?

Is it legal to fire a coach at halftime?

Can someone explain the QB run for 2 yards?

Imagine Josh Allen in a real offense…

With McDermott, it passes for high level strategy…it’s really all we can expect from him.

Fat chance
