Yes, you're right. I meant to say that he's could even better next year. If Beane can acquire a true WR2, the offense should rock with Diggs, Kincaid, and the new person, with Knox and Shakir playing the role of good backups. But that's a big If. What keeps me up at night is Beane giving Gabe Davis a big contract.

Which means Knox staying in to help, reducing his effectiveness and along with it the whole team's. Spencer Brown: the gift that keeps on giving.

The Bills led the league in drops last year, a fact that didn't get half the attention the Chiefs are getting for their dropped passes this year. The Narrative at work: Mahomes the messiah heroically struggling to make up for his teammates' incompetence. The Bills' drops last year? Crickets. The fact is, both Mahomes and Allen have just one quality receiver and otherwise a bunch of meh. I keep thinking how different the Bills would be today if Beane had drafted Pickens instead of Elam last year.

Agree. That play should be on all the highlight reels, as should the Allen juke that broke the ankles of that DB. All the attention in the game is going to Mahomes' meltdown.

The way he found was blitzing constantly, which begs the question why didn't Allen, Brady, and/or the receivers adjust? In the second half, they were blitzing AND Diggs seemed double covered (and dropped the ball when he wasn't) AND no one was open. Of course, Cook mysteriously wasn't on the field, so our hottest hot receiver wasn't available, but where was Knox, Kincaid, and Murray? Incidentally, was Murray benched after his inexcusable fumble? Or does McDermott reserve that punishment for only effective players?

Is there any reason the Bills (or any other team) can't sign Araiza? He might not be an accurate punter, but neither is Martin, who is more expensive that Araiza would be and doesn't have nearly as strong a leg.

Did they assign that crew to another Eagles game?

Agreed. He had multiple people in his face the entire second half. Looked like last year's pressure.

Fair question after all the heat he's received all week, including from me. Give him credit. I thought he would play prevent (the win) defense. He didn't.

Does anyone know who Mahomes was yelling at?

Putting a one-score game into the hands of McDermott. Again. Don't the laws of probability kick in at some point? He can't blow it again, can he?

He doesn't seem to be playing hard. Drops, not fighting for the ball... He's certainly not playing like a superstar.

They either let the pass rush through or hold. I mean, what the hell. So choke.

Better than throwing to him at the line of scrimmage with nine defensive players on top of him.

Yeah, he should be blocking and catching the balls he throws. And why isn't he playing defense? What a loser.

Does anyone think we're going to win this game?

We need another playmaker besides Allen, on offense or defense. Who else do we have?

Maybe it's unfair to blame it all on McDermott, but he's the one calling soft defenses, playing "I just love dancing!" Miller, and calling timeouts whenever he gets nervous.

Take a timeout, McDermott! You'll feel much better, which is what counts.

'Cause he looks so pretty? I can't think of another reason.

Holding is such a drive-killer in the NFL. That just took all our momentum away.

McDermott: Wasted time outs. McDermott: Doesn't trust his kicker to kick 62 yards. Why is he a head coach? Someone remind me. Has he made any good decisions this year, like, at all?

7 points in an entire half to one of the best offenses in the league. Let's get some perspective here.

McDermott calls the timeouts to calm himself. He gets nervous.

I'd say it's a reason, but not the most important one.
