K-9

I hear that, but I’ve seen too many “run for the bus” season finales by teams that were out of it and with Miami having to go play in the cold, I can see where they might lose interest early.

McDaniels had ZERO answer for what the Bills did to Maye in the second half. The kid was flummoxed and it showed.

All due respect, but I’ve seen too much over my 66 years to start subscribing to “highly unlikely” outcomes when it comes to this game and this league. That weirdly shaped ball does some damned funny things at times.

Right. As I’ve been saying all along, we can compare Maye as a passer all we want THIS SEASON or ANY season, but not as a quarterback at this stage in his career.

I appreciate that, but it’s better is they think they still have a chance at the end. No matter how small that chance may be.

I disagree as we need Miami to still have something to play for vs the Pats*** and a loss tonight really hurts their chances to still be alive when they NE***.

Ravens. We need to secure that home game in the playoffs. And there’s a good chance the Ravens will draw the Texans in the WC round. I’m hoping Miami can win tonight so they will still have something to play for vs the Pats***

There is nothing difficult about understanding your point about THIS SEASON as it relates to respective PASSING stats. However, it appears you don’t appreciate the difference between quarterback and passer. So feel free to ignore the entire point I am making here. No worries.

Do you appreciate the difference between being a quarterback and a passer? I repeat, it is unfair to Maye to compare him to Josh, Stafford, etc., as a quarterback. He simply doesn’t have the experience at this stage. Feel free to compare passing stats all you like, but we both know there is so much more to being a quarterback than that.

Like Marv used to say, blaming refs after a loss is a loser’s lament.

I’ve said for years that there is a huge difference between being a quarterback and being a passer. Maye is a great passer, but is still evolving as a quarterback, which is to be expected given he’s only in year two. He’s got all the tools and he will be a problem for us and the rest of the league as he matures as a QB in this league. I can’t blame Pats*** fans for being stoked about his potential but is unfair to him to be put on the same level as Josh and other great QBs at this stage.

The first half was beyond abysmal. The second half was a defensive masterpiece. The long run by Henderson and your attempt to put words in my mouth notwithstanding.

Argue all you want about McD’s replay and clock management issues because he certainly has some warts when it comes to that but if we are gonna do that then he should also get credit for holding Drake Maye to his worst half of football since turning pro; to the tune of an 18.4 QB rating. As hard as it it may be for those in denial to admit, Maye is the real deal and will be a problem from now on and McD and Co. deserve credit for their efforts yesterday.

For QBs as cerebral and experienced as Rivers it’s like riding a bike. He will need to knock off some rust for sure, but he will not see anything from a defense that he hasn’t seen countless times before.

I’m pretty sure Josh is the one who nailed it.

I never implied that it did. And I don’t think I came anywhere near making excuses for Diggs, either.

So everything he did before becoming disgruntled gets cancelled just like that? I disagree entirely and I will leave it at that.

That doesn’t negate or diminish what he did before that point. But YMMV and that’s fine.

Diggs’s friendships with everyone in the building soured as well. Stef’s issues off the field in no way diminish his contributions on the field. As I said previously, he is one of the greatest sheer competitors we’ve ever had.

Long story short, he became disgruntled and that impacted relationships not just in the locker room but throughout the entire building. The administration staff were happy to see him go. A true good riddance scenario. He went from being a jocular, light-hearted presence to a moody, bitter negative influence throughout the building. It’s a pattern with him. Helluva receiver and one of the greatest competitors this team has ever had.

Yep. Give me a team of guys who hate losing more than they love winning.

Yeah, certainly seems that way. I think it’s a question of maturity and he needs to grow up a bit. It’s all up to him.

Keon absolutely abused DBs with his blocking while in college and pissed them off in the process. He’d be blocking DBs thirty yards away from the play thru the whistle. He certainly has it in him.
