It’s been 20 years since I watched the game, but I just read your write up. I had totally forgotten that the Bills were blown out that day. Give me break...

It was a fair question.If Zeurlein makes the kick, are you questioning Goff’s “clutch gene”?

So Goff is responsible for the missed FG? What else was he supposed to do? That’s fine. The real issue was trading up for a projected guard in round 2 when Metcalf, Brown, McLaurin et al were available. We’ll get to see AJ Brown up close this weekend.

Not a huge believer in Goff, but I have to say he looked great on those last few drives. He delivers the ball quickly, on-target and without fear. And Russell Wilson is a great touch passer. As good as anyone I’ve seen. really fun to watch these guys tonight

This game is another dagger in the argument that Thursday Night Football sucks. Good matchup equals good football. Period.

It was well defended.

Goff is lucky he didn’t get taken off in a stretcher.

Wow, Chris Carson (7th round) is a great back. I’d take him over Gurley.

I don’t disagree.

Of course, but the Seahawks now have a war on their hands when they could have easily broken the game wide open.

That is looking like a pivotal decision in the game. The Rams are all of a sudden on a roll when they could have been left for dead...

No, it was a bad decision the second he made it. Even he makes the FG, they’re giving the ball back to LA with a ton of time. And as we all know, 50 YD FGs aren’t chip shots.

Carroll is the second best coach in the league, but that was an awful decision to try that FG instead of going for the first down. They’ve got Chris Carson and Russ Wilson in the backfield and if they make the first the Rams don’t see the ball again and the Seahawks have a very good chance to blow the game wide open. Terrible call.

I remember reading here that he sucked in college and was a combine warrior....

I was skeptical. I was wrong. Great football player.

I remember that too. It was the type of play where the RB typically beats the LB, and White is a tough guy to bring down. Great play by Milano.

No, they don’t. They are elite now, as is NE, who also lack an elite pass rusher. (I would argue that Hughes is damn close to elite, in any event.). Have you not watched the past 4 games? Except that this defense gets more than it’s share of turnovers. And it’s no accident.

So this year is already in the books?

You’re forgetting one other likely possibility....

Correction: Herb Mul-Key!

More, please!

Great posts!

I disagree regarding the tackling. I thought it was the best the Bills have tackled since McDermott took over. NFL backs are going to break tackles; that's just a fact of life, but I didn't see many broken tackles on Sunday. It seems to me this defense has clearly stepped it up from the high level at which they played last year. Wonder if anyone has any theories as to why. It's basically the same personnel. Is it Oliver? Edmunds's development? Another year in the system?

I’ll go with Kelvin Sheppard for Jerry Hughes.

And he’s already proven he can get the Bills to the playoffs?
