Compounded by a strange quick out to Shakir on 3rd and 15 that gained 8. If you were going to play for 4th down on 3rd down, why are you now punting? That was a bizarre coaching sequence at the time.

From Gemini: Examples of successful quarterbacks who signed major extensions after their third year include: Patrick Mahomes: Signed a then-record 10-year, $503 million extension with the Chiefs after his third season (his second as a full-time starter). Josh Allen: Received a significant extension with the Bills after his third season. Joe Burrow & Justin Herbert: Both were eligible for extensions after their third year and signed large deals with the Bengals and Chargers, respectively. Brock Purdy: Though a late-round pick and not subject to the same rookie wage scale rules as a first-rounder, his unique situation led to a massive extension after he became eligible. Sounds like a 2027 problem.

Until they have to pay Maye coming off the rookie contract and have to make tough choices like the Ravens, Chiefs, and Bengals did.

We don’t have to be fair on a Bills’ fan board. Planting the seed of doubt in a Boston sports fan is one of the great joys of spectator sports.

We are going to be Debbie Downers right to a Super Bowl.

Bills 34-28

What I love about that Epenesa play is that he ran too far up field on a speed rush and was hustling back to the ball when he caught the deflection. It was a great motor play.

I believe this is first time since Week 1 that the Bengals had Burrow, Higgins, and Chase on the field at once.

Remember way back when when everyone hated Benford… like last month. That was funny.

Dart had the right reaction.

Cook involved in the passing game is so important for this offense, for so many reasons (including “when Cook is in the game, we run; when Ty is in the game we pass”). His speed is weapon that this passing game lacks, and it creates a lot of mismatches. Seems obvious.

Michael Jordan and Tom Brady figured out a way to turn everything into a character assassination, especially later in their careers when they had already accomplished so much. It would have made sense for the competitive fire to start dimming, but they invented new ways to be “questioned and short-changed” (“And I took that personally…”). Josh needs the a-hole in him to come out more, especially as he ages. Cyborg Josh is unstoppable.

We need Houston to start losing immediately.

He needs contact to get locked in these days. Give me a QB Power on the first drive every game.

Curtis Samuel is on line 1, asking if he should “pray for Bosa”.

I think they will be down Tee Higgins at least.

We know it can’t be the former. We have all fired Brady seven times this year. Each.

Well, 30 mph wind gusts on the road to a team with everything to play for with two backup tackles. I’d call that a great performance.

This is more like it. Impose our will.

According to ChatGPT, home teams have about a 63 percent win-rate on Thursday’s since 2006, which is like 7 points better than any other time (I think the league average home team wins at a 56 pct rate). Just that alone tells you something is wrong, the league putting a finger on the scale for the home team, in my view. I suspect we would find that in November and December, that 63 percent number creeps up due to injuries and fatigue piling up. Just a guess, but giving a team a significant advantage should be enough to kill a concept. It does put the Bills loss in Houston into some perspective.

He’s had happy feet in the pocket all game.

I’m finally coming to the same conclusion. My brain refused to accept what my eyes were seeing until tonight. This team looks old and slow, especially after watching the Texans defense fly around.

Bills 27-17 Josh 250 and 2TD in the air, 25 and a TD on the ground.

I think this guy is on to something.
