So the most handsy defensive backfield in the NFL goes another playoff game with zero DPI, illegal contact or defensive holding calls. (Sorry if I missed anything.). I’m curious how many times they’ve been called for any of those penalties during their current run.

Agree 100%. Bills should have went for two at the end. “We’re winning this thing right now!” should have been the attitude. Unbelievably, had they gone for two and made it, the defense was so soft, KC would have had a decent chance to score a TD at the end (made it to the Bills’ 30 yard line in two plays).

Denver’s defensive metrics this year were on the whole better than Baltimore, significantly better in most regards, more sacks, #3 in rush defense (Ravens #1), much, much better in pass defense. Ravens are very good but they certainly beatable.

Yeah, but what is Burrow’s Corsi?

I don't think you did. If a politician won an election with 60% of the vote it would be considered a landslide. Sixty percent is significant.

I loved the play the Commanders ran a couple of times Sunday night. Daniels fakes a handoff (on an RPO?) and throws a slant to a wide open McLaurin. Would love to see us run that, especially if Shakir is on the receiving end.

I agree with most of this but NOT at safety. In 2021, Hyde and Poyer were far from washed. In fact, Hyde’s interception in the New England playoff game was one of the greatest Bills defensive plays of all time.

I don’t think Bowles is going to move.

That’s sure what it looks like.

Still don’t get what’s up with Cooper. Thought they were somewhat keeping him under wraps until the playoffs. Is he going be under wraps until the Divisional Round? AFCC? Super Bowl? Honestly thought he would see a lot of targets today. Note: not complaining, just curious.

Man, McConkey is good. I know we didn’t need a slot receiver but it would be sweet having on the Bills.

If the Browns clean house, I’d love to bring Schwartz in as DC. What the team needs is a fresh take on defensive philosophy. It won’t happen, of course. McDermott won’t ever allow it. Schwartz probably wants nothing to do with a franchise that wanted Rex Ryan over him.

I was pulling for Bengals over Broncos because I wanted to see Colts sneak in as #7 seed. Oops. Now I want to see Bengals beat Steelers to put Chargers in as #5 seed (I think Chargers have best shot at beating Chiefs in Divisional Round). I think I’ll get my wish on Saturday but if Broncos and Dolphins lose on Sunday, yikes. Want no part of Burroww under any circumstances.

True but still why not schedule games at same time Sunday? There were other games that could have been scheduled Saturday.

WTF! Ravens -Browns play Saturday afternoon; Bengals - Steelers play Saturday night. I thought the NFL avoids this kind of thing. If Ravens win (they will), Steelers rest everyone and give game to Bengals. Sorry if someone else posted this already but really WTF!

Coleman TD v. Seattle was pretty cool.

Wasn’t concerned about the Bengals because NO WAY are the Colts losing to either the Giants or the the Jags. Ugh. Now, I’m a little concerned.

Are there Tom Grossi fans out there? Every time I see a flag, I’m thinking of Tom wearing his referee jersey saying “flag”.

Agree 100%. How is he not already in?

We absolutely stunk up the joint in Houston. We were fortunate to be in that game at all. You’re talking about end of game decisions. Better decisions probably gets us to overtime. No guarantee we win (although Allen is due to win an overtime game one of these years). Rams game, defense was beyond atrocious. We accepted the penalty and put them in 3rd and 17. They converted the 4th and 5. You don’t think they would have converted 4th and 7? Big mistake taking time out at the end but again, would we have prevented Rams from getting first down to ice game? Probably not. In what was supposed to be a down year, you just cannot complain about a 12 - 3 record.

There’s my man Pete kicking FG’s! Please don’t look at his career stats. No fair comparing kickers from the ‘60’s to modern kickers.

Well, you got one out of two correct. As far as D, Wade one and Schwartz a distant second.

Reggie White would like a word.

Jackson has had an outstanding 2024 season but if Josh Allen wins MVP this season it just makes up for Jackson getting the award over Josh last year.

I feel that folks are way over critical of Elam’s play yesterday. The TD to Boutte was a perfect throw to a well covered receiver (#3 top play on Sportscenter). The first DPI was ticky tack, second was deserved. Wasn’t a great game but wasn’t horrible either.
