I was going to start a topic on a similar note but OP beat me to it. My point was going to be what a difference a couple of months make in looking at Beane’s drafts and other moves. So many draft picks were meh or questionable or unproven going into the season have come through in a big way (Oliver, Bernard, Bedford, Cook, Kincaid, Torrence, etc.). In fact, look through all his drafts and the only busts are #2 rounders Ford and Basham. Those picks look worse in hindsight to posters because we passed on Metcalf and AJ Brown for Ford and Creed Humphrey for Basham. (I’m in the camp that you can’t call Elam a bust yet. He looked decent rookie year and has supposedly been hurt this year.). Add the great looking trade for Douglas and it’s hard to argue Beane isn’t an upper echelon GM. You need a Super Bowl win or at least an appearance to rank with the very best put we’re lucky to have him.

286 yards of offense and 7 points. Yesh.

Everyone was happy last year when they were 13-3 and squeaked by Skylar Thompson in The Wild Card …Win and advance they said …
That’s such a false narrative. Pretty much every poster on this forum was big time nervous about last year’s team from halftime of the Green Bay game forward.

Is my memory correct that he wasn’t even tossed from the game after pummeling White? Outrageous.

But the spiller pick was insane considering we already had two very good RBs in beast mode and Jackson
So which was worse? Picking Spiller when Jackson and Marsh were on the roster or picking a RB with the first pick in the second round when you’re first round pick was OJ freakin’ Simpson!

Here’s the 1999 issue of THN where they rank Hasek #95. This would’ve been near the end of his Sabres career and his NHL peak. He won a cup with the Red Wings in 2002 on a stacked team.

What a hilariously bad list. Henri Richard higher than Marcel Dionne? Newsy Lalonde? Was this put together by an 80 year old?

No intentional grounding? In the pocket, didn’t make it to the LOS, no receiver near it.

The Chargers are officially on vacation. They’re just playing long enough for Staley to get fired. Hope he lasts at least 1 more week
Yes, please. Wait a week before the Turk pays a visit.

Did you see the KC game? Josh was rolling to his right and I said to myself "Josh is the deadliest QB rolling to his right. Worst that happens is a throw OB." Then he threw a horrible pick.
That wasn’t a designed rollout. He was flushed out of the pocket and threw against the grain. You wouldn’t do that on a designed rollout.

Like most of the posters here, I hate, hate, HATE the WR screen pass. Especially running it over and over against a D playing man press (KC). When was the last time we ran a “traditional” screen (OL leaks out after pretending to pass block, RB leaks out and has a couple of blockers in front of him when he gets the ball)? Cincinnati ran a couple of nice screens against the Colts. Is it because our OL isn’t athletic? I thought Morse and Brown were athletic enough to get out on in front on a screen. (Shout out to Brown, whose play seems to be much improved).
One more rant. Just like Fran Stalinovskovichdavidovitshky is the deadliest woman in the world with a dodgeball, Josh Allen is the deadliest QB in the NFL rolling to his right. Why not have a couple of designed rollouts? Worst that happens is a throw OB if nobody’s open.

Great weekend. One thing from this game is that Hill should be MVP. Fins O is utterly average without him.

If I had to pick a Billsy play from yesterday, it would be Murray taking three steps and then dropping the ball for no apparent reason, somewhat tainting a truly miraculous play from Allen.

This has nothing to do with NYC producers disliking Allen because he plays in Buffalo.
Allen has always been treated poorly by the media because he had the audacity to be drafted ahead of Lamar Jackson, which idiots view as an act of overt racism. Kirk Cousins gets the same treatment because he unseated RG3. Let's be honest with what is happening here.
This is 100% wrong. No one - NO ONE - thought Jackson should go ahead of Allen. The bias stems from all of the experts who predicted Allen would bust because he wasn't accurate in college. Many - not all - won't get off that train.

I started this thread to make a point, probably not very articulately, that the refs have way to much say so in the outcome of games and given the amount of money now bet on NFL games that can be very dangerous indeed.
Can their influence be diminished? I think it could. Eliminate ticky tack calls on PI, defensive holding and illegal contact, reduce the severity of certain penalties, be more consistent as to what offensive holding is, etc. Not sure there is the will to get this done as long as the money keeps rolling in.

I’m hoping for a Jim Lee Howell situation redux. First step is to see if Brady is the real deal as OC. Hopefully, we’ll know by the end of the season. Second, hire a young aggressive DC who won’t play a soft zone at the end of one score games. McDermott stays as HC.
Who is Jim Lee Howell? He was NY Giants HC during the late 50’s. His DC was Tom Landry and his OC was Vince Lombardi!

**** you Amazon and your ever buffering mother****ing streaming service. Can’t wait for the game on Peacock.

Few notes:
1. Eugene and Medford Oregon moved off from showing the Chargers at New England on the FOX Early slate, as originally planned, to show Denver at Houston. They usually cowtown for Herbert, but they changed their minds since the Chargers suck this year.
2. Hawaii switched from Detroit at New Orleans to Miami at Washington on the FOX Early slate since they like to cowtown for Tua, who went to high school in Ewa Beach.
3. Good week if you're in an all-red area, like I am, since you get the three best games: Denver at Houston, Detroit at New Orleans, and San Francisco at Philadelphia.
4. Sorry to fans in the Tampa Bay area (@machine gun kelly, @st pete gogolak, who else?) who get to be blacked out from the best game of the week (SF at Philly on FOX) since Tampa Bay is enforcing a blackout to show their home game vs. Carolina exclusively. Really exciting. The solution is Sunday Ticket.
5. With the way the Bills have been playing, I am glad to be taking a week off from them. Although, to be fair, last week was an exciting, though disappointing, game.
Wow. That sucks.

If anyone other than OP agrees with this, you should let him know. Punting from the 31 yard line with a 10 point lead would be the worst “Preposterous Punt” (credit to Greg Easterbrook) in Bills’ history. Worse than Gregg Williams punting from Pats’ 30 yard line way back when.

Trading Justin Jefferson pick for Diggs
Please. Philly selects Jefferson and instead of Diggs we get Justin Reagor. Or do you have a crystal ball come draft day?

I think we need a young Alec Baldwin to come into the locker room to give his Glengarry Glenn Ross speech. Always Be Closing!!!

KC game I was all for going for 2. You win or lose in regulation and force Bills D to actually play defense if you don’t convert. Different situation with Philly. If you’re successful on the 2, plenty of time for Philly to march down field for the win. Making it a 3 point game, makes Philly play conservative and settle for FG attempt.
-
Want to be fair. D had big stop last year to win KC game. Other than that, has D made a late stop to win a game (I guess you can include NYG game this year but what a cluster bleep that was)? Honest question.

If I had to guess, I think that catch and run by tyreek hill in the 13 seconds game (right before the final Davis TD) has given McDoormat PTSD. Ever since then he is so terrified of giving up a long TD that he concedes yards at the ends of close games to the point where he's willing to give up a field goal attempt and take his chances. Granted, yesterday's kick was borderline miraculous, but it still shouldn't have gotten to that point.
Bingo! Agree 100%. McDermott is scared to death of giving up the big play at the end of tight games and I really believe it goes back to the Hill TD.
-
So, the consensus is that the play is unstoppable and if the Eagles are in 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1 you just concede the yard or the TD?
"Late" hit on Allen's slide.

Wasn’t that play pretty identical to roughing penalty on Bills in Dallas game when Prescott slid? Tough on the defense but it is what it is.
