Embarrassing.

There's that Frazier soft defense.

Arlington Road. A dark ending that would never happen in today's Hollywood.

I guess Juan Castillo's agent has welcomed Nate Hackett aboard! I'm convinced some coaches simply get jobs because they spend good money on effective agents.

This team knows now knows where the gas pedal is on both sides of the ball, however it behaves very much like a teen driver - still having difficulty on inherently knowing/feeling when to hit the gas and when to lay off it. There are some games where that finesse is almost perfect, and others where it's a mess.

I feel the longer he keeps trying to play, he's slightly tarnishing those amazing achievements he had as a Patriot quarterback. I hope he retires for good and doesn't try to push through a lone, forgettable season in a Raiders uniform. Mediocre Todd Bowles notwithstanding, this season was a lot of writing on the wall that it's over. I am often saddened seeing the pictures of NFL legends who finished their careers with forgettable one year stints with teams like Johnny Unitas in a Chargers uniform or Bruce in a Redskins uniform.

Leslie Frazier won't pay any attention to it.

There's that soft Frazier defense yet again.

I think the talent is there on the defensive line. The shortcomings of pass rush is strategy. In the first game against the Rams, most fans would have thought Jordan Phillips or AJ Epenesa were going to break the regular season sack records with how often they were in the Rams backfield. The game plan wanted them back there, applying that pressure. Historical case in point - it's really no different how the Bills went from all-world sack machines Marcel Dareus and Mario Williams under Marrone in 2014 to near invisibility with Rex Ryan the following year. Or why Jerry Hughes had his second highest number of sacks this year in Houston (9) this year since, you guessed it, he was with Marrone/Bills in 2013-2014.

I hate that some states force winners of these massive sums of money to reveal themselves publicly. I feel that puts the winner in danger. It's ok if you want to do it, but always felt it should be up to the winner to decide.

Dolphins will run the ball, run it some more, and make the Bills defense stop it. Over the last two days, the Dolphins coaching staff has probably watched every Eagles game this year.

They've all done it. I'm sure Obama, Bush have some too. This is what happens when you make those purely emotional decisions, Biden administration.

Corporate mindset: "He devalued *our* asset!" #1 pick is worth 3,000 points. The #2 pick is 2,600. Chicago could always trade out to a competitor who really wants a QB like the Colts who sit at #4.

The offense looks good. I like that other players are getting involved, and Allen is back to taking opportunities, and not forcing it. The marshmallow soft passing defense is adequate against mediocre QBs, but it stands little chance against keeping Burrow and Mahomes out of the end zone consistently, without a change in approach. The physical talent is there, but the approach gives away too many easy yards. This year - 214 passing yards allowed per game. Last year: 178, and that defense was soft too.

I think Smith knew he was out either before or during the game yesterday. That win was some cold as ice corporate sabotage.

I see the Jags are employing the Bills 1st quarter defensive scheme. Josh Dobbs, All-Pro

...but the Bills just can't play anywhere else! (I kid.) It is very Ford Family to be inept to such a degree your football team can't host a playoff game due to carpet installation.

I'm surprised at the outcome. I expected the NFL to shrug their shoulders at the positions of the Bills and Bengals and stick to win percentage. Besides we all know the neutral site is Ford Field. However, this will be the year the Lions march to the Super Bowl. 😀

I think three coaches will retire: Ron Rivera Pete Carroll Bill Belichick

That just emotions speaking. That's ok. Professionally, you don't get COY for a singular event. Coaches like Brian Daboll and Doug Pederson are more deserving for the body of work they've done this NFL season. Kyle Shanahan is also going to get votes for the miracle performances at the QB spot. Losing Lance, and then getting Jimmy G in there with success despite the troubled relationship with the team, and then when that failed, coaching up a 7th round draft pick and that player also being successful. I don't think McDermott would win COY even if the Bills advance to the SB, dominate it and win it. He coaches a loaded squad. He's battling expectations that the Bills are supposed to get there.

McCarthy is Mr. Uniparty. Just like McConnell. The uniparty won't take no for an answer. 6 tries or 60. McCarthy will be speaker. Just wait and see. Most people would get the hint after six tries, but McCarthy won't. Uniparty doesn't care one iota about Hunter Biden investigations, abortion or any of the "woke" noise. That's stuff for the consumption of the "average" American. Just don't touch the budget and don't ask about things the they are involved in like the border (great source of very cheap labor), GOF research (that the US government and wealthy universities continue to finance), feds spying on Americans.

I remember the 1989 Colorado Buffaloes college football team. The starting quarterback, Sal Anuese, was diagnosed with an inoperable form of stomach cancer in March 1989. There wasn't much modern medicine could do for the young man, but he showed up to games anyway. He died in September 1989 shortly after the college football season had begun. He had attended the home game against the Illini just the week before. The team used the tragedy as a sense of motivation and purpose, to complete the entirely unexpected undefeated regular season, only losing to Notre Dame in the 1990 Orange Bowl. I don't think the Buffs were as good, talent wise, as their record suggests, but they were a team on a mission. They started beating on teams after Anuese's passing. They beat Nebraska that year, a Cornhuskers team that had 20 players go to the NFL.

"Let"? Social media has always been the government. They'd much rather have people think that Twitter et al "allows" the government to interface with their product, as if they have a choice. People think "oh well, the government doesn't care about my hot takes on the Buffalo Bills, or how much I enjoyed that summer vacation, or the 1,233 pictures of my kids playing sports. Versus the likely reality that Twitter, Facebook are the storefronts of a passive intelligence gathering operation and they care deeply about every picture, every piece of information. It's not very different from how the Feds caught the Idaho killer. People, of their own free will, contribute DNA to websites! People of their own free will, share picture after picture of themselves and family, and what they do with their time. All you have to do is sit back...and let them.

I get the impression the defense throws a vanilla coverage out there deliberately on the first drive to gather information about the offense, since the offense is likely working off a pre-designed script of formations. It's just too much of a pattern that the opposing team always works their way down the field easily on the first drive to think it's not deliberate.

Chargers, especially if they are 1 and done in the playoffs. Staley is 100 percent expendable for Harbaugh (or Payton).
