I can’t see us losing to the Browns. I don’t think we are going to lose again this regular seasons. Just need Miami to win next week.

It's games like this, against a well coached team, where McDermott's ineptitude is magnified. He just doesn't have a feel in critical game management situations. Not challenging that deep pass on the first drive was atrocious. It spotted the Pats 7 points early and we almost didn't recover. The entire stadium knew it wasn't caught, the Pats were sprinting up the field to hike the ball, it's early in the first losing a timeout means nothing, why not challenge? Just terrible. He's always overthinking critical game management calls and for guys like Vrabel, Reid, McVay, others, it just comes natural. McDermott is not a bad coach, and I've been impressed with the way he's responded to criticism and challenged himself to grow and change in these last couple years, but he just doesn't have an elite football mind. It's painfully obvious when we go up against good coaches. Even if Josh carries us to a superbowl this year, won't change how I feel about McDermott.

Let’s hope the Browns game is one we dominate from the start…I can’t take anymore of these dramatic comebacks 😂

He ran right at Shakir, did not look back for the ball, and impeded Shakir’s ability to try and make a catch. Classic pass interference.

Ding ding ding. Look he may be a good starter for all we know which is fine but people really saying he’s a better passer then Josh Allen and better football player should have all rights revoked from ever taking football again. If you don’t know by now that Josh Allen is the best player you’ve ever seen there is something wrong with your head. This is coming from someone that saw the Kelly era in person.

Thanks for this thread. If anyone thinks it was a mistake that the clock stayed at 0:06 seconds for at least 2-3 seconds, at Foxborough with the Patriots driving, they don't know Robert Kraft.

I did. Watched it in regular motion from the snap and counted “one thousand one”, etc. ZERO chance the clock hadn’t run out! Zero! They don’t have tenths of a second on an NFL time clock. It was a totally incompetent crew! Since that FREE FG was critical at the end of the half, I don’t know why McClappy didn’t lose his mind and demand a review of the play at the time AND them refereeing in the future didn’t/ doesn’t happen!

I can't wait until Christmas is over. That's my answer.

Jersey tug gets called all the time. I don't think it was egregious and I wouldn't have had an issue if they picked the flag up but thats a common call and an easy one for the ref to spot.

To all you Paytoilet fans that troll our board:

Beane was high profile when we were 4-0. On WGR, Pat Mcafee, etc. When was the last time you saw Beane on TV? He’s in hiding I believe, after making laughably stupid remarks about Bills WRs and the Rams Front Office. He looked truly beaten, after ***** up trade day

That was annoying. The Maye run wasn’t even close. Clock never should have stopped. They probably saved a few seconds and/or a timeout. I went back and self-timed the Stevenson run at the end of the half. He still probably slides with :02 seconds on the clock but again they might not have a timeout.

And in perfect weather. Stafford’s great but the degree of difficulty is 10x harder for Josh. Where is that written? This year is weird. As in “someone has to win the SB but the trophy should be half the size” weird.

I got my yearly raise from the company this week.........4% increase.........last year was 8% The boss made it no big secret 2 weeks ago that he was penny pinching to inflate his yearly bonus UGH

By far my biggest complaint is the lack of play-action especially early in games. We know our WRs suck. We also know our TEs are great, our RBs are receiving threats, and our running game is legit and is the focal point for opposing defenses. We should be leaning on PA early especially on 1st Down and get the balls to the TEs across the middle. This has the added benefit of loosening up the LBs against the run. We came out throwing against Miami and TB, but it was traditional drop back stuff on early downs as opposed to PA. Yesterday was the perfect example but Cooks dropped the ball. Big plays in the passing game have to come on early downs off PA, our receivers aren't good enough to get them in conventional passing downs/routes. Second main complaint is to know you have 17 for important series during the game. It is crazy that at 35-31 yesterday and the D getting a big stop, we went 3 and out with 2 Cook runs and a screen pass to Ty. There is no excuse for not giving Josh a run/pass option on that series and letting him do what he does.

I'm as tired as the screens as you, but on that play he had it schemed up properly. If Palmer holds his block, he probably gets the first (although it would have been close). The defender (Carlton Davis? can't quite recall) made a terrific play.

early career Brady was a game manager on a team with strong D and running game. In that period they were a top 10 rushing team

I still remember when Mac and cheese was regarded as the "baby GOAT" and the next Tom Brady. The media just can't help themselves in hyping up NE........it's a sickness. Maye is good, but he's nowhere near JA good. Maybe in a year or so, this conversation will take a sideways turn if Maye turns out to be the real deal, but as of today, JA and Maye shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence. I have spoken.

I was away from the tv but that is interesting. I did notice that the clock never started when the patriots had the ball on their last drive. I believe it was the third down play. The refs tried to figure it out at least. So it happened both times the patriots had it under 2 minutes to go. lol. ***** Boston.

Years ago when I worked in a K12, the facilities manager / head custodian was a Pats fan because his neighbor growing up ended up on the Pats in the 80s (this was in Hawaii, so there's no real "default" team everyone roots for). Every Monday was just each of us throwing jabs at eachother's teams for at least 20 minutes. It was fun. He's the only Pats fan I met that wasn't entirely insufferable.

Ray has done a great job. Offensive touches are going to continue to be tough to come by though. Ty is a better receiver and Cook is a top 5 RB. Ray is a lesser version of both of them but a solid 3, especially if he can keep it up on the returns.

Just look at the names on those Raiders and Titans depth charts though.... sheeesh. I think you can argue Palmer would be the #1 on those teams. But the Bills receivers are terrible. A has been (Cooks), a complimentary slot receiver (Shakir), a career #4 (Palmer), a draft bust (Coleman) and a player cut by Jacksonville (Gabe).

Could you imagine Allen with Nacua and Adams?
