That was a heck of timed punch out!    Yeah I was angry with Kincaid there.   Have to have big picture awareness and have both arms over that ball.  5 extra yards there isn’t enough to risk injury and possession!

 

Tough way to be reminded of both.  

It was a lucky break for Cinci, to be there with the punch at just the right time.  But when you're flying through the air instinct says one arm is going to move out to save yourself a little on the landing.  I haven't watched the replay but I think that was what happened.  All in all I'm still happy that Kincaid looks like a bright spot for our future.

Just saw a madden commercial. That doesn't look great right now. 

You're right, the Madden curse is real and just in a different form this year.

I agree, and please I meant no disrespect to you and if you took it that way I do apologize. 
 

Here’s the very weird other thing, Joe…I don’t know how frustrated I am in general as much as I have…how do I put this…relegated myself to the fact that in my lifetime I may not get to see what I always wanted to see from this team as my days are getting shorter and shorter.  I’m closer to the end than I am to the beginning and I can live with this disappointment due to perspective in life and enjoying so many other things I have in it.

…it’s just having seen this for so long and thinking in recent years “one or two more things and we’re there, or at least we are back” only to realize…maybe we’re not.

 

Hell, though…it is the journey and not the destination, right?!

 

Go Bills.

 

 

Hey, at least we're not J-E-T-S fans!  how many times ha the post "How the f did we lose to them" get posted tonight.?  Jax a couple years ago and Jets this year.  I get it....

The worst part.

 

This is going to be an unpopular opinion.

 

There was SO many blantant items to be angry and frustrated with, it seems ridiculous to even say.

 

The Allen interception was the worst part for me. Hands down. 
 

Penalties happen, fumbles too. Offensive lineman are physically beaten from time to time. And so on and so forth… these so many minute, yet accumulating deficiencies, added up to what felt like a beat down.

 

But that Allen INT was the worst part.

 

We’ll draft new OL. We might see another corrdinator. WRs will come and go. We’ll have penalty free games and games we can’t get right. 
 

But that Allen pic just haunts me. He has to be better. And he is here to stay. 
 

The worst part for me, despite all the other hot garbage happening around him, was seeing Allen melt in that moment. He’s my guy and I’ll ride and die with him, but seeing him pull the trigger on that ball was so disappointing. 
 

That’s the worst part. 

So what exactly was the worst part?

And what form is that - a bad head coach?

Oh definitely a right spot right time play for the d man but he capitalized.   I have always believed luck is when preparation meets opportunity.   But yes lucky!   
Honestly my first thought at seeing him start to jump was “dude don’t get hurt” immediately replaced with “oh shoot he fumbled”.    Given all that has gone wrong protecting the ball and themselves with smart football moves needs to be drilled home.   I totally get why they went into hero move mode though.  
 

I wonder if desperation isn’t more prevalent on this team day in and day out now.   Which is too bad.   They need to be confident in who they are and what they are doing.   
 

Hopefully Kincaid doesn’t think about that play too much and continues on his path to greatness.  
 

Go Bills!

Yes and no, for me.

 

Hes always been this guy that just makes the boneheaded plays. He’s just also always been able to make up for them.

 

In this twighlight zone offense, there just isn’t room for it because of how they play. 

That Was my usual take. And I love the Josh.

But those sideline shots of him this season keep showing a sullen , detached Leader. I think he lost the faith

 in , and of , the process

Could be on previous page or thread but what was consensus and grading of Joseph and Douglas first game? To me Joseph looked impressive and was that stop gap in the middle, made a big play. Douglas I know he gave up a couple catches (Higgins if I recall?) but the coverage looked good. Didn’t appear to be one those 8 yards in space making the tackle. Looked like he was right there to defend the play and credit Higgins for making the play. Overall with short time with team I feel good looking ahead 

 

What  were others thoughts or actual ratings and grades for new fellas?
