Who is doing color for this game? He refuses to criticize the Rams at all. He's afraid to say anything negative. He keeps talking up Stafford, who is having a miserable outing. One gem: "Nacua is the guy who got them to this point. They've got to get him involved." Dude has played in two NFL games. Is the best THE WORLDWIDE LEADER IN SPORTS can do?

I am shocked at how bad the Rams are. They can't do anything at all. They will be competing with the Bears for the top pick. Bengals didn't need Burrow for this one. Nathan Peterman could have led them to victory. Put Mixon under center and run it every play. Stick a fork in the Rams—miserably bad.

I'm curious, does anyone know McDermott's record on grass compared to turf? I am also wondering how the offense has fared on this point. Any football stat gurus out there? Washington plays on grass, right?

Biased, not bias. Bias is a noun. The levels of irony here are astounding.

In my opinion, this is the most interesting discussion on the forum right now. Josh has the physical and the mental. But does he have the psychological element needed? Can this be taught? Who is going to teach it?

If it the football goes through the uprights it's a great kick. If it misses, it's a terrible kick. It's pretty black and white. Aside from that, McDermott should be on the hot seat. If you're not getting better, you're getting worse. What's his plan for team to get better?

Agreed, 100%. With a coach like Reid, or Sean Payton, Allen would win multiple super bowls over his career. Without a doubt he is talented enough, but he has to do it ALL on his own. But Pegula won't fire McDermott because he's a "strong Christian man" which is what he wrote in the statement explaining his contract extension. It seems his Christianity is the reason he'll be here forever.

Leodis McKelvin! Fumbling away the game fighting for an extra yard: yes—that was worse. But nobody thought the Bills were good then. They lacked talent all around. Now, the expectations are high and they can't live up to them.

Fire Dorsey NOW. He has no feel for the game and has consistently proven to be unable to make adjustments in-game. McDermott is holding this team back. Young QBs need good coaching, and Allen doesn't have it. McDermott is ultimately responsible for bringing in an offensive coach who can manage the game well and confuse and compete with good defenses. Dorsey is a S__T SHOW. Why is he here? How is he qualified?

Maybe Dorsey should be coaching HS football. What has he done? Who has he coached? Why is he qualified to work with Allen? Bring in a real coach.

True. And what's wild too (instant replay was in its early stages) was how bad some of the camera angles were in 1990. They often couldn't get the calls right on replay because the camera views were not sharp. That aspect has improved a lot with the high def cameras. Now, we almost always have a great shot.

The officiating is atrocious. Wow. McKeller had a TD that he didn't get credit for. Refs called a TD when the ball had clearly bounced off the ground (which I saw even in this grainy feed). Lofton had a ghost PI called against him. "Pass interference 81" Mark Kelso had a vicious headshot!!! for which he would be ejected in 2023. (rightfully, he knocked the receiver out, who was clearly dazed, announcers "oh yeah he's clearly OK." "injury update: "MILD CONCUSSION, MIGHT RETURN" Toon had a beautiful catch which was called not a catch. All in the first quarter.

Good idea. While were at it why not kick the tires of Donovan McNabb or Daunte Culpepper . . . Randall Cunningham maybe?

It was after the INT at 3.07 in the first Q. On the international DAZN feed.

Yes. I joined in 2009, waiting for this very moment. TBH, I have no idea who Will Grier is ..

Thank you for confirming what I heard. It was definitely a hot mic moment, before halftime. I think it was after Kyle Allen's first INT.

I live outside the U.S., so I have to watch the feed from DAZN (which is awful, but that's another story) This week we got the Chicago feed. The announcers were Jim Miller and some other guy. They actually did a good job focusing on both clubs, not only paying attention to the Bears. But here's the interesting part. During the commercials, the feed stayed with the stadium broadcast. In one break, Miller and his partner's mics were left on and we got to hear their off air conversation. This is almost a direct quote (not sure if it was Miller or his partner who was speaking) "Beane told me Allen has struggled from the very beginning. He just doesn't have what it takes / it's never gonna happen for him. He said he was very concerned." Anyone else want to corroborate what I heard?

This exactly. Dorsey does not adjust. He just does what he wants to do. Passing and shotgun 85% of the time unless they go up by four scores. This was exactly like the Bengals game. Dominated on both sides of the ball, sloppy penalties, just getting pushed around like rag dolls. It looked like men vs boys out there. Obviously men are being coached by Coach Tomlin. Fire the whole coaching staff and bring in an elite coach like Sean Payton. With this talent Bills should have multiple super bowls. McDermott is a falling star.

This game was reminiscent of the Dick Jauron era. There was nothing good to take away. The team struggled with basic things: taking a snap, getting a clean hand off. 12 Penalties in the first half is a clown show. This team is coming apart at the seams. If they play like this, they won't win a game. By the way, Tre White should be cut. He was getting carved up by the second team. He avoids contact and he's slow. Some guys never come back from major injuries. It's sad but true. He's done.

i think they got the call right. the ball was nowhere near gronk. why give the pats the game on a terrible brady interception?

you conveniently left out the part where you're wrong. sometimes if it looks like a spade, it's a spade. it's great to be a contrarian when common opinion is flawed (which it often is). but you don't seem to get my point -- you take the outsider's view just for the sake of having an outsider's opinion. there are drunk people at sporting events that do stupid things -- why did you think to object to that MOB MENTALITY?

you could see that happening? that's not what happened. some suicidal maniac slid down the side. but as usual, i enjoy your measured contrarian voice of reason. never mind it's nowhere near accurate. there will be no lawsuit. if anything, he should be charged with criminal mischief/attempted suicide, or many even manslaughter for injuring the guy on the second level.

DAVE AND BUSTER'S DAVE AND BUSTER'S == HEY GENO, DID YOU HAVE FUN AT DAVE AND BUSTER'S?

just wanted to +1 myself here, and ya know, once again call out all the dummies who prematurely said smith is better than manuel -- without even watching how awful geno smith has been for much of the year.
