They had them out when Allen was running for a touchdown.

Ed Oliver is not earning his money. Calais Cambell, ten years older than he is, is the much better player.

Every time, Tua has one, two three, sometimes four seconds to throw. Any competent quarterback can find someone open with that much time. They're just not getting pressure, and our secondary isn't good enough to hold up. It's a recipe for long drives.

The worst of both worlds. Let's Miami have long drives that score, keeping Allen off the field.

Might be time for a five-man rush. Tua is eating them alive with a four-man rush. He has all the time in the world.

Has to be a wrist. It's the injury of choice on the Bills.

Has anyone noticed that Bass only misses field goals and extra points in close games? He's usually perfect in blowouts, when his team doesn't need him.

First Coleman, now Cook.

You owe your teammates 14 points, Keon.

Let's call this the Coleman Memorial Drive.

Campbell is a beast. I wish we had him.

Use Kincaid.

Can't say I like the play calling. Two runs to start with, killing the first drive, then all throws this drive, with that awful last call the cherry on top. Shakir and Cook are Allen's only targets, making the offense pretty predicable. Time to adjust, Brady.

Dolphins playing great defense.

I still shake my head when I hear Davis' name. Not his fault, but what a waste of targets.

A good guess. Could also be that he gave up feeling guilty and got pissed off, not necessarily at the team's bringing in another kicker but at the universe in general. In my experience, a "screw it" attitude can straighten out a lot of psychological hang ups.

FYIW, The Athletic beat writer for the Bills agrees Hamlin is the weak spot on the defense: "Hamlin remains the most significant question mark, as his play-it-safe style, along with hesitance to dip down into the play has cost the team a lot of yardage over the season."

Great having his voice in this community all these years. I always appreciated his posts.

Someone is having a career year.

If awards were openly acknowledged as entertainment-based, I'd have no problem. But it's not "two-time most entertaining player, Lamar Jackson," it's "Lamar Jackson is obviously the best quarterback. He won two MVPs!" Still, I would prefer MVP and other awards to be based strictly on hard data. Wouldn't that be nice? No more Pro Bowl votes based on reputation, no more MVP based on entertainment value, no DPOY, etc., based on number of appearances on national broadcasts. While I'm in a wishing mode, how about professional, professionally trained referees? (Trained, that is, to overcome natural biases and make correct, wise calls, not trained to throw the game for whatever big-money betting interest they're associated with.)

Yeah, the league or the Dolphins should have over-ridden his decision to return. No one wins if he's concussed again, and that's likely just a matter of time.

I think this is a bit pessimistic. He was coming on fast in training camp, and he's likely staying in good shape during his rehab. He'll need time, but I suspect he'll be a major contributor by the time the playoffs come along. A Bernard-Milano lineup will be just what the Bills need then.

Lamar is less accurate than Allen even though his receivers are on the other extreme end of the separation scale. In other words, his receivers are relatively wide open and he's STILL less accurate than Allen, whose receivers get less separation than any in the league. And they think Lamar should be the MVP over Allen?

Am I the only one out there who mutes the commentary and unmutes for the play by play? The commentary is invariably trite, hyperbolic, self-evident, vacuous, fatuous, irrelevant, repetitive, verbose, inaccurate, inane, tedious, insufferable, boring, shrill, biased, superficial, or self-important, or some combination of these. I value my peace of mind too much to listen to it.

It'll take more than a few bouquets tossed in Allen's direction to quench three decades of simmering antipathy caused by the Pats humiliation of the Bills, Deflate-gate, the weepy Brady press conferences, and so on. I want him to grovel. The day he admits that Allen is better than he was, I'll join your-all's fan club.
