Great post.
There was quite a bit of doom yesterday, which I get, given the circumstances of the day. But with the emotion taken out of it & taking an objective view, YES, we are still SB contenders.
Agree 100% w/ the write-up on the defense. Milano - who I still hope can be back by the playoffs - was one of many good players we have on the D. Yes, he was among the best, if not the best. But we have a fantastic D-line, an excellent secondary, and the LB crew can hold their own. Williams will have plenty of time to gain experience & acclimate, and he showed some flashes yesterday that he can do just fine in that role.
My expectations for this season didn't change yesterday. Especially when I look around the AFC. We are still the best team, imo.
I’m not sure how your expectations don’t change. I’d agree if we came out with an L but we’re healthy. Losing Milano and Jones for a significant portion of the season has a huge impact on my expectations. Couple that with Tre and you’re replacing 3 pro-bowl quality positions with JAGs. While it may not have been a sizable impact in-game, OCs can now prepare and game plan for glaring weaknesses.

They’re picking on him for sure.

Is Chicago eating the contract? I was under the impression that Miami had cap space left (maybe that's next season).

Why does the NFL want to turn itself into a reality show??
If the two of them want to date, let them do it in private, and keep it off of NFL telecasts.
It is bad enough the Super Bowl is no longer about the actual football game anymore, don’t do the same thing to the regular season.
The Kelce brothers have been promoting the "relationship" on their podcast for quite a while. It's as much promotion for their brand as it is for the NFL.

Chase Young looked like he was about to cry leaving the field. WTF WFT
I’ve been watching him every snap. He is playing purely for a sack and gives up quickly. Not impressive at all.

If Patrick Surtain is even remotely available, I'd offer a 1st for him
Without hesitation, I'd offer our 2022 1st.

Why?
Poyer not dressing, it's likely Hamlin as depth and taking Rapp S/T reps.
Elam would just ride the bench...he's obviously #4 on the depth chart. You don't bench Lewis, who's a key S/T and likely our top backup safety this week.
Because I think that Hamlin is a better safety than Cam Lewis and I think Elam is a better CB than Cam Lewis. I'll take a hit on ST if it makes my defense better.
I believe the Cam has been on the gameday rosters so far because they needed two positions covered by one body. With Poyer out, they they now have 3 positions to cover with 2 bodies, and I believe the Elam/Hamlin combo is better than Lewis/Hamlin or Lewis/Elam.-

I'm guessing they sit Cam Lewis and bring up Elam and Hamlin. Lewis is there because of his positional versatility - but I don't think he's better than either individually at their position. Hamlin can play special teams (he did during the preseason) too.

I don't get the impression that would occur. If Gabe should break out and puts up any big stats it's because he gits well in the gameplans that the Bills execute and I think he would understand its the situation that allows him to capitalize in that way. Will he want to get the biggest contract he can over staying in a place he knows he fits well is dependent on his mindset on the matter.
He doesn't give off the diva I want to be said top $$ vibes, but that certainly doesn't mean he will sign a team friendly deal if it is offered.
I don't see his personality of the type to work hard to flash, then collect his bag and then disappear. He would give the same effort that netted him his deal whatever it ends up being .
If he breaks out I think he continues in that tier of quality for as long as he can maintain his health and enjoyment of the game.
This is a business - he has one shot at setting he and his family up for life. He lives in Florida in the off-season. He will (and should) follow the money if offered a better contract elsewhere.

Gabe is this year’s Edmunds. We want him to be more than he actually is. We see glimpses that he’s capable of being next level, but he consistently is what he is. Honestly - if you took away the 13 second game, his career would look incredibly more mediocre.
I suspect he will get paid more by someone else and next year we will have a thread asking how he’s doing.

Next Gen stat of the game: The Chiefs targeted Bears LB Tremaine Edmunds 11 times in coverage. Edmunds allowed 10 receptions, 88 yards and one TD.

The sports network genre is horrible in general. Did Sports Center really need a segment on Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift this morning?
The Sports Reporters was excellent. PTI is tolerable - shows like Around the Horn ruined the industry, because "hot takes" became more important that substance.-

Read the Pats Pulpit article in Gary Marangi's post above...of course, it could be wrong...

According to his wife he was a 30 year season ticket holder and there's a photo of him just before the altercation. -

I think the post title needs to be edited...it appears it was a Dolphins fan who died -- but he lived in NH.
Everything I've seen has said it was a 53 year old Patriots season ticket holder and he was wearing a Patriots' jersey.

This is the correct reading of the allegation, tortured though the (original) wording may be. That is, attendees were Shield employees.
Rather odd though: para 128 effectively states that Mr Trotter was IN the zoom meeting, but did not himself hear the comment.
If it was a zoom call (virtual, of course) how precisely was TP having a (side) conversation with the unnamed reporter, who was also in the call? Yes, possible, but details matter.
I only quickly reviewed...but there are many similar leverage points in the complaint that any reasonable defense lawyer will attack.
Please note: I'm only making a cold-hearted evaluation of the stated fact pattern. I don't know what is true or not.
The allegation says during a zoom conference that Trotter was part of with other NFL reporters (employees), an unnamed reporter brought up a conversation that he/she with Terry. Trotter would not have heard the comment directly, as the unnamed reporter was recalling comments made at a different time and place. Trotter's complaint is that the NFL didn't investigate the allegation that these comments were made in a satisfactory manner.

Here's the verbiage from the actual complaint:
D. The NFL Takes No Action in Response to Racist Conduct by Buffalo Bills Team Owner Terry Pegula; Complaints “Swept Under the Rug.”125. On September 3, 2020, a large NFL Media zoom meeting was held which included approximately 40 newsroom employees. The purpose of the meeting, during the middle of the pandemic, was to connect people who were not working together in-person and discuss various stories people were working on.
126. During the meeting, an NFL Media reporter described a conversation he had with Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula in which Mr. Pegula was speaking about the recent emphasis on social activism by NFL players, and in particular support for Black Lives Matter.
127. As reported, Mr. Pegula stated that, “If the Black players don’t like it here, they should go back to Africa and see how bad it is.” This remark was so offensive and racist that the people in the meeting appeared to be frozen, unsure how to even react.
128. Mr. Trotter would not stand by and spoke up. In front of everyone in attendance, Mr. Trotter asked Mr. Marvel and Mr. Sperry if there was going to be a discussion about what Mr. Pegula had said given that it was so highly offensive and racist. They responded that they would speak to the reporter about it further and decide how to handle the matter.
129. Thereafter, Mr. Trotter sought out Mr. Marvel and Mr. Jurenka on a near weekly basis about what was being done to address Mr. Pegula’s discriminatory remarks. Mr. Trotter was repeatedly brushed off and told that “the league office is investigating it.”
130. However, this went on for months and Mr. Trotter never received any further update beyond this superficial statement. Notably, no one from the NFL’s league office ever reached out to Mr. Trotter to interview him in connection with any supposed “investigation” that was supposedly ongoing. Clearly it was not a priority to investigate an NFL team owner’s discriminatory animus and discriminatory remarks in conversations with employees.
131. Nearly one year after the incident, Mr. Marvel told Mr. Trotter that the league had provided him with a response. He told Mr. Trotter: “New York says it’s an HR matter and that’s the end of it.”
132. Thus, in response to an allegation by an employee (the reporter) and complaint by another employee (Mr. Trotter) that an NFL owner (an employer) made racist remarks that ridiculed Black players (also employees) for their social activism, the NFL did absolutely nothing.
133. Mr. Trotter said to Mr. Marvel, “So we are sweeping this under the rug?” Mr. Marvel responded, “I can only tell you what I’ve been told.”If there is any evidence - he deserves all that is coming.

And the subsequent summer of playing games off the back of it.
He came to work Day 1, voiced his complaints/position to the coach, took 1 day off, showed up the next day and worked his tail off. Everything else is media or fan speculation. It just feels like people want to pigeon hole him as a diva. There's a difference between "me first" and "I want to win".

And overly emotional.
I honestly think this is a problem with the offense at the moment; the three key men in Josh, Diggs and Dorsey are generally emotion first, calm logic second. It can make for a hotbed of over-reaction and spiralling, which results in outcomes like yesterday. Saying that, it was good to see Diggs trying to gee Josh up before one of the final drives (in my tired state can't remember if it was before the last 4Q or OT drive), even if it perhaps came a touch too late.
Honestly - when has he ever been "overly emotional" since he's been on this roster? Was it when the QB didn't mentally show up for a home playoff game? - seems like the correct reaction to me.
-
Diggs is clearly the leader of this team. I don't know why "fans" crap on him. He has combination of the skillset and the drive that we all want in our players. When things are turbulent, he's the one trying to get Josh's head back in it, he was the one trying to get his teammates ready to play after Hamlin went down (and the first one to go to the hospital afterwards). Watching him practice - he works the craft more than any other receiver on the roster. He's Josh's safety blanket.
WR1, TE and S are the positions we don't need to worry about at a week to week basis. They're consistent. All other positions seem to vary greatly on any given week.

Gripes from last night:
Run on 2-15 in OT is horrible.
Not challenging the 3rd down spot that lead to the QB sneak in the 4th was a mistakeThe run Josh up the middle from the shotgun play needs to be torn out of the playbook
Josh needlessly taking hits needs to stop
Kincaid having 26 yards receiving when his O/U was 27.5 was salt on the woundsLikes from last night:
We have the weapons at skill positions on offense to dink dunk and occasionally go for the HRThe pass rush was good
The Jets losing Rodgers has to help us in the season long outlook.That's it - on to next week.

Dorsey is a JOKE. RUN the ball on 2nd and 15 in OT against the freaking Jets run defense? WTF?!?!?
Dorsey to McD: "Hey! We barely have 90 yards rushing... maybe we'll trick them on a this 2nd and 15 in overtime? Might fool them!"
WTF OVER?!?!?!
OC is a joke, OL still SUCKS and Allen looked like "Allen: Year One" THREE passes into double team?!?!?! I'm so pissed off.
Not just run… but run at the one player that has dominated our line all night.

Kaiir Elam is a liability any time he is on the field
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I may be Mis-remembering, and I haven’t rewatched the game. I thought Dane was getting picked on early. They may have moved Elam over hoping he would do better vs Ridley. Unfortunately he didn’t.
