You never fail to disappoint.

Thanks @muppy. Speculation that Josh's play has diminished, first off, is incorrect. Then, to extend that false narrative to wife-blaming only points to a poster's wharped life view. Simply celebrate the happy couple and go Bills.

Fixed it for you. It appears we are both Knox supporters. 👍

I strongly agree with the bolded. I remember, when we were in (drought years) tight end purgatory, a coach saying that a truly valuable tight end is one who can be on the field in running AND passing situations, not allowing the defense to know what is coming. Dawson Know is that tight end. Elite? No. A very valuable contributor? Absolutely.

Below, from today's ESPN's "NFL Week 14 latest buzz, questions, news and fantasy tips." I like this, always having believed that McDermott truly cares about his players and invests himself in helping them grow as humans. "Keon Coleman's fourth-and-goal touchdown catch Sunday in Pittsburgh held a little more importance than a run-of-the-mill score. The Buffalo receiver had gone through the proverbial ringer. The Bills sat him down in back-to-back weeks due to punctuality issues at the team facility. He was benched for Week 11 vs. Tampa Bay, and though he worked to get back in the lineup the following week in Houston, that was a Thursday night game, so the team stuck with its same offense on a quick turnaround. "It's a professionalism thing -- but he's going to be OK," a team source told me that week. "We need him." More pointedly, the Bills need receivers who can beat coverage consistently. While Coleman isn't a speedster, he has the size and body control to make contested catches. He's still learning how to operate in a Josh Allen offense where second-reaction routes can be just as important as the original route due to Allen's scrambling. The Bills did not consider cutting Coleman through his midseason issue, I'm told, and it looks like they are sticking with him after he played 33 snaps Sunday. Let's see if he can build on that.

Ray Davis, reminding me of Kenneth Davis.

The exact quote of what I posted was, “We have six weeks left with a track record of season-ending excellence. This Bills chapter has not yet been written.” I don’t see any similarity with your words. Might you have mistakenly quoted the wrong post? Come on man.

That hyperbolic negativism has pushed me away from TBD. It was once an everyday part of my morning reading. Now, just a couple of times a week until I hit frustration overload. We have six weeks left with a track record of season-ending excellence. This Bills chapter has not yet been written.

I'm guessing you are purposely ignoring his Daniel Jones failure? That was a franchise-changing flop on his part. 🤔 Why would you not mention that?

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the nose. It's time for him to meet Spencer Brown.

Josh is dealin’.

Josh Allen doing Josh Allen things. 😁

Honestly Sierra, I am wondering about that. It is irresponsible to speculate about someone's personal health. However, after being sat a series for being late to a meeting, then being benched for missing a meeting, I don't think it is wrong to worry for the young man.

ESPN says he "missed a meeting." I have no idea what is true. But missing it would be very, very late.

Please help me out here. What does it say about McD?

You should learn from this, stop arguing, and listen more….about everything, not just football. Regarding football, Gruden is a very entertaining clown show. Seek help.

Being a regular season loss, especially one that doesn’t individually derail the Bills from the playoffs, this can’t be viewed as McDermott’s worst defeat. However, we may look back and see this as a day of reckoning. - The Bills have a pattern of stumbling mid season, then pulling it together after the bye. We have passed the bye, and yesterday looked completely lost. - Josh also has a pattern of gaining effectiveness and aggressiveness in November. As of November 10, this season’s gain has not yet begun - again, he looked completely lost. For the first time in six years, it is hard for me to see where the Bills are either growing or maintaining. I am as optimistic a fan as you’ll find and I hope like hell that I’m wrong. But, the Bills are showing no answers and yesterday may mark the beginning of the decline.

The bolded sentence is an absolute fail. Do you always tell other people what they must think? I have a pulse, have followed everything about the Bills for 55 years, and am VERY happy McDermott is our coach. He will remain in that position and continue successfully for as long as he wishes. Get over yourself.

In the moment, it was frightening. Watching in horror, I imagined ligaments snapping like rubber bands. OK, I was overreacting. But we're very fortunate nothing serious came of it.

Someone doesn't know the meaning of "strategy." Those are tactical decisions.

Quietly?!

With all his grinding between the tackles, I can see him bouncing one outside big.

Outstanding stop!

The yards count the same.

So, maybe this week the “can’t pass downfield” mantra will go away?
