are you joking? Josh breaking two free rushers tackles to throw a dart on the run for Coleman to drop it is clearly just an example of his elite supporting cast and playcaller.

 

In fairness Josh screwed up the protection on that play. He clearly adjusted it away from the rush.

 

But yea he hasn't had much help today from the supporting cast.

Coleman is getting zero separation, he needs to be better than that. Even the completed deep pass that came back on the bogus holding he had a guy literally on his hip.

Just a weird half of football. Up by 12 and our play doesn't reflect that on either side of the ball.

 

I think we have a big 3rd quarter.

 

People just want to hate on the defense because they give up yards, but they have scored 2 of our 12 points, have an INT and are pitching a shutout right now. I get its the Jets and their a mess but its just like last week. The defense won us the game last week and their on pace to have a big part in the win this game as well.

They currently have a 7% overall chance of MAKING the playoffs, let alone being seeded against us. What about that is dangerously close? 

Colts lose 1 (down 21 to 13), Dolphins lose 1, Denver loses next week, Cincy win and in. Not as crazy as it sounds.

[Blank Stare]

Looking at those halftime highlights across the league, all these teams winging it around, but we somehow can’t get our receivers to help out our guys MVP bid. Catch the damn ball.

He is never gonna be a separator. It isn't who he is. Which makes it more important that he catches the difficult contested ball and he hasn't yet.

Aaron Rodgers threw 2 bad passes or they'd have atleast 10 points

He always has a shot on those scramble drill plays and he is a great run blocker.  Still well worth the pick

It’s not crazy at all but it’s certainly not dangerously close with that many variables

On defense, the Bills are at least stopping drives eventually, but they're doing an awful lot of bending.  The offense, I agree with McDermott, is stopping itself with penalties.  Hopefully, McDermott can instill a bit of discipline during halftime.

Once again, McDummy blows the clock management and yet still manages to take a timeout home.  Well done coach!!!

Because of his chequered past, thought that immediately.

 

In  THIS instance, it was all the hard work because of idiot penalties and pressures that reduced the time to an interesting conundrum.

 

1) Fire to the End Zone.

2) Get FD... but then, you only have about 5-6 seconds left for an End Zone shot.

3) FG.

 

Good call.

Kc literally can decide to let Denver in instead of cincy and given their history absolutely will decide that lol

Getting a ball batted in the air is not on the QB. We can play hypotheticals but I currently see a Zero in the Jets column.

Who's struggling? There was never a point in the game last week or so far today anyone would think we'd lose

Yeah Brady and BB never won an ugly one by taking points lol.

Do fans on TBD watch any other games? Probably think KC only has one loss because they’ve dominated every game wire to wire  🤣🤣🤣

No it's a 7% chance.

[Irish Dave]

All I can say is the team doesn’t pass the eye test at all today or last Sunday and the defence hasn’t in three weeks

Yes. The defense are doing well because they're facing an over-the-hill QB. If it was Jackson, Burrow, Mahomes back there today...

The issue is that the Bills haven't scored a TD on every drive AND forced a punt/turnover on the D side of things. If they don't do that, they're obviously going to lose just like the.... checks notes.... Chiefs!

He gets no help from anyone, ever, and people on here are still going to be stunned when murmurs about him wanting a trade surface in a year or so.
