I see zero reason to play McKenzie or Phillips. There is a good chance we have multiple players behind McKenzie that are better than him.

 

Let's look at what this is saying.  If we have "multiple players behind McKenzie that are better than him", isn't that saying:

1) our FO, OC, passing game coordinator, and WR coach are all monumental failures at player evaluation - since they have failed to recognize and act on this all season

2)

is all a mirage?

 

If that's not what you're saying, what are you saying?

And Phillips is useless out there with his shoulder. 

 

It's the playoffs. McDermott will have to suck it up and let our starting DTs play more than half the snaps. 

 

Agree about Phillips.  The last bit is either exaggeration for effect, or ignorance though. 

 

Ed Oliver hasn't played <65% of the snaps since Week 9.  It's been very close to 70% 4 of the last 4 games.

DaQuan Jones has played >70% of the snaps 3 of the last 4 games

 

But the quality of the other 30% of the snaps matters.

"Battered Bills Fan Syndrome" or "Buffalo Bills Fan Syndrome"

 

A disorder characterized by inability to relax prior to, or during, a Bills game and a seemingly irrational anticipation of negative outcomes

The root cause is 4 successive Superbowl losses and 17 years of playoff drought

A relapse or secondary infection was transmitted by the Men in Black and the Cody Ford illegal block penalty vs. Houston followed by 13 seconds last year

 

I suffer a mild to moderate case myself, but several regular posters on this board have severe and debilitating disorders

Anyone have suggestions for the name of the fictional prescription medication that would be used to treat BBFS?

Skylar Thompson officially named starter. Bridgewater backup. 

 

 

I can see Thompson starting, then Bridgwater coming in right away. That would me a McDaniel move

Brown and Beasley weren't on the team all season... And yes I do think shakir should have been playing more ...a lot of people on here agree with that.... Our coaches have failed at player evaluation many times, it happens, it's okay

 

And yes that was a mixture of exaggeration/joking/seriousness

 

Lighten up!

Thank your lucky stars you were able to find a special woman with that keen ability which you should hope never goes away.

 

After she references the hebbi-gebbis he gives her you should just turn to her and say, “I love you. Thank you for marrying me.”

 

 

I am a lucky guy. Married well above my league for sure.

More interesting is how their D last year was 1st in a lot of categories. And they wilted against kc. Very fearful of this years D against good passing O

Very fearful of this years D against good passing O linebacker play wasn’t nearly as good last year and tre white seems to be improving every week. Tre/Dane Jackson and elam will hold up better against kc than Levi Wallace/Dane Jackson did last year imo if we were to see them again 

 Our linebacker play wasn’t nearly as good last year and tre looks like he’s improving every week.  I’d take tre at 80% and a combo of elam/Dane Jackson over Levi Wallace and Dane Jackson.  
 

a team like kc is gonna score their points we just need to get a few more stops than they do

OK, just clarifying - you ARE saying that our coaches and FO are failures at player evaluation - all season for Shakir, and since Nov 26 for Smoke.  So the same group that's managed the #2 offense in points and yards per game and top-10 in essentially every offensive category, sucks worse than you and some other fans here at player e v a l.

 

Seems logical.

 

Now you're doubling down.  Who are these many players representative of the "many times" our current coaches and FO have failed at player evaluation and when were they playing ahead of "many better players"?

 

I'll hang up and listen

 

You bring the Bad Takes, you pack and carry them.  I'm not gonna "lighten up" your load.

Of course we have to think it has a lot to do with injuries and Hyde/White out most of 2022. Two top of the line players, add Von Miller then subtract him....

That is big. I wonder how many fish fans will be blaming injury after they mocked us week 3.

They didn't "wilt" against KC until the final seconds of regulation - which I will acknowledge, was an Epic CF

 

They kept us in the game.  They stopped KC 3x and held to a FGA 4x.  You can't expect any defense to totally shut down a high-powered BALANCED offense. 

And, we won in KC earlier this season.

 

So what is the source of the fear?  Is it about losing Hamlin, or Von Miller, or ??

Didn't I read up thread that Bridgewater would back up Skyler Thompson?  So I would predict a lot of those "questionable" players will play

 

McDaniel's pre-game pump up speech gonna be epic.

Yes, Bridgewater is Questionable to be dressed as the backup.

That last one would indeed be the best hope for a long-term cure.  May take multiple doses though.
