  1. McDermott and Bass team up with the refs to beat their own team.
  2. So the logic is that it's better to lose games than to bench Bass. Someone explain that one to me.
  3. It's all Allen's fault. He should be coaching, kicking, catching, blocking, and playing defense. No excuse for him not to carry this team.
  4. Knox killed a TD drive all by himself.
  5. Not me. He's a 50% kicker in my book.
  6. Commits a foul AND drops the ball. Great job, Knox.
  7. Ray Davis, have yourself a game!
  8. What was Taron doing on that Hail Mary, checking out Lazard's shoelaces?
  9. Allen plays to win. McDermott plays to not lose. He's on an anchor on this team.
  10. It sure isn't coming from Samuels.
  11. I was just about to ask if he was playing, he's been so invisible this season.
  12. No one here has mentioned the special teams coach, but it's not just Bass' kicking that's bad; punt and kickoff coverage has been subpar, too.
  13. "Josh just misses him"? Meaning he shouldn't hit him in his hands?
  14. STILL no play action on first down!
  15. Even when Allen throws ZERO interceptions on the season, that's all the announcers can talk about and the only graph they can think to show.
  16. Bills 9 Jets 6 It'll be one of the ugliest games we've ever seen. And boring. Injuries everywhere, intolerable announcers. But the Bills will win.
  17. No gut sense at all from me, just not sure. Fork in the road, though, right? Path One = the three wins were an illusion, the team is a paper tiger, the season is pretty much shot, and it's time to talk about the draft. Path Two = the AFCE is pretty much locked up, the Bills are a top-five team with tons of young, hungry players, and we're all eagerly looking at who they play next. I suppose there's a middle path, where they eke out an ugly win, Allen throws for less than 100 yards and three picks, and everyone agrees they such AND will win the division and make the playoffs.
  18. I get a sense that MVS would respond to flattery, like "We need you to come through for us today!" He strikes me as a talented player who can't be bothered most of the time. But I admit this is based on nothing I can put my finger on. Maybe the fact he shines only in the playoffs when the lights are brightest.
  19. I'm relieved about Taron and Bernard, excited by Williams, Carter, Bishop, and Solomon, delighted with Benford, content with Douglas and Martin, optimistic about Coleman, ok with the O-line, and impressed by Rousseau, Cook, and Shakir. But I'm disappointed with DeQuan, Oliver, and Kincaid, disgusted by Von, done with Hamlin, and dismayed by MVS, Samuel, Hollins, Knox, Epenesa, and Bass. And of course I remain in awe of Allen, as should everybody.
  20. They'll win both games; it's the Bengals way to wilt early, lose to the Chiefs (to help ensure Chiefs homefield advantage in playoffs), get their mojo back and play like a top-five team after that, particularly if they have the Bills on their schedule. Meanwhile, Baltimore may be for real but Pittsburgh is about to be exposed, and not just by Cincinnati.
  21. Makes you realize how bad MVS, Coleman, and Hollins are that even Josh Allen can't make them look like NFL players.
  22. You're right, spaced that point.
  23. Yeah, I made this suggestion before the season, thinking it might have been that counter-intuitive but correct move that helps salvage a team's future. Even then, his value would have been diminished coming off a major injury, but it would have been higher than now. At this point, I think it's better to keep a guy who might be a difference maker when we need it in December and, I hope, January, than trade him for a fifth rounder in 2027 or whatever. The only reason to do so at this point would be to shed his salary so they can sign a receiver.
  24. Ok, here's what I wonder: Why not put him on IR? Shoot, let him heal until December or January or next year if that's what it takes? He's just taking up a roster spot at this point. Worse, he's on the field for a large percentage of snaps, meaning someone more effective (hard to be less) is not out there. What am I missing? Are they trying to get their money's worth, wins by damned? Don't forget Hamlin running after Henry like a little kid after his dad. I won't forget that image anytime soon.
  25. Oh, I'm a big Allen fan. in fact, I think he's not just better than Mahomes, I don't think there's any argument. People keep bringing up the hardware argument, which never impresses me. (Was Hostetler better than Marino?) No, my point is that he may have gotten concussed in the Baltimore game and been playing with an addled pan, which got still more addled in the Houston game. If that's the case, I hope McDermott is smart enough to bench him.
