Meh, it’s a pass first league but if they are going to let you get regular chunk yards rushing then there’s no reason to stop until they adjust and give you something else.

they don’t have a qb still

yea that was just pushing them around and demoralizing- nothing gimmicky or lucky really.

im surprised it wasn’t fair catch interference but I guess I only half saw it

I could buy he was planting and slipped just as easily. His upper body gave some signal of sliding.

he’s not a defenseless player - unless he did slide which was borderline

Fair to flag but I’m not sure that was even a slide.

probably didn’t happen week 9 of the season

he moves like a cruise ship. I think we have lineman more agile.

Tough throw but gabe didn’t come close to adjusting

Interesting lil formation on that screen

you are the mod so I defer but I think the poli board is where people show their ass?

that’s the biggest thing. There aren’t heavyweights with the chiefs on the ropes, and burrow out. If we don’t make the Super Bowl - this plus 13 seconds are going to haunt fans for a long time.

to be fair you did pick two coaches that are struggling through qb injuries (and in the vikes case their star player too)… though the Vikings did start slow but can you imagine this team sans Josh (and Kyle) and without stef, instead of Daquan and Milano? I am curious to see O’Connell if they let cousins walk and he gets a run with a cheap qb if the bucket is guys that are able to win it, and guys that aren’t…. Is it really worth the nuance of arguing about who didn’t win it the worst? Obviously I think McDermott is better but at some point we are going to need to be Ricky Bobby and not accept less than first.

I particularly enjoy including a guy not even finished with his first year and we will see if shanahan pulls it off. He’s been there before, and I think he would’ve won last year with literally anyone at qb and he’s a favorite this year

And leaves with as many rings as our own coach has earned

I tend to agree though I think in that human element superstars often get a little benefit of the doubt, for instance josh and his style of play may not see that as much though

hard one to sell with the Philly game in the last 4 you reference being better for the bills

You can’t leave healthy guys on IR forever

we don’t need better testing. We need cream puffs that give you bye weeks and home field advantage. I want a team that waltzed to needing 2 wins at home not 3 on the road I want a team that is healthy, not the remnants of what’s left after a struggle

he still doesn’t have to answer if that’s his thing

he’s a 23 year old football player… so I wouldn’t hang tooooo hard on every word. I think you can read some frustration into the reality that it happened and the bills happened to be the team that did it but I have to imagine he realizes 31 other teams wouldn’t touch him either for the last year and change so it isn’t a Buffalo issue exclusively.

If I’m Elam, and I know GMs are poking around at the trade deadline and seeing me play poorly and benched for the Ghost of McCorners Past - I’d probably prefer they get a quick pulse check that I didn’t forget to play football suddenly, just in case I’m on the market again in a couple months. Coaches in Buffalo aren’t the only ones you want to stay on the radar of if you are in his shoes. Also having fans in your corner tends not to hurt your chances at getting opportunities. and it’s got to be in some way more positive to get genuine get well soon feedback instead of you are a bum and should be cut feedback again, not saying it was a dire 5 alarm fire that needed immediate tending or tragic consequence - but no upside to let people sit for another month thinking you washed out

so once called out that he’s had a month where opponents wouldn’t target him youve progressed from reporters needing to camp outside his house and stalk him for him to share his injury update or possibly the silence being to avoid being treated like a notoriously out of touch with human behavior superstar qb? and I’m the one being strange saying I’m surprised he didn’t comment on his injury a couple weeks ago, when his reputation was getting shredded and he went on IR?

big boomer energy here would you prefer I said he take the scenic route and chat with the buff news on his way out the door instead of popping on X? no one thinks “yea it’s been hard playing through a torn ligament so I think I need to get better” is an excuse. Do you think he’s making excuses now? was just pointing out there was no upside in waiting a month, which is different than your reasons that match up to why he’d not talk today either
