ill preface this by saying i am a big dawkins fan
but he went in pretty hard on bills fans being deservedly down on the team when the going got tough there around midseason
i mean it wasnt go do your little jobs but it was in the same area code
I watched the interview & there were no negative comments about the fan base. He talked about how cool it was playing at home with all the snow in the stands this week. What are you reffering to?

Who was at fault for the first INT? Davis or Josh?
Defininetly Josh's mistake. I was sitting on the 10 yard line on that side of the field. The pressure got to Josh and created the mistake. The throw was so far off, it looked like he was throwing it away. Davis made the right move, with a bit more time it's probably a TD.
Anyway, Allen was incredible to watch last night as he always in Miami. Love that he's a Dolphin killer

BUT...this is NOT a complete picture of Allen. Its utterly absurd to talk about Allen's production and not include his legs. If you do, he is at or near the top of the league in total yards and he has most total TD's in the league.
Lamar is gonna win MVP and his production of his legs is being counted in that decision too. So to not include it for Josh is absurd and like talking about McCaffrey as ONLY a RB and not taking into account his receiving production for example.
I agree with you and I mentioned that his running is a big reason for the current win streak. I feel like finally this year, the national media has included Allen's running more in their analysis. I've appreciated that many analysts mention total TDs both for this season & his career, which wasn't always included in the past.
BUT.. My point was that Allen is not a serious MVP candidate this year. And his passing stats are clearly below MVP standard. A QB is not going to be considered for MVP, unless they're very effecient like Lamar, or a league leader in passing yards & TDs.

Going into the last regular season game of the year, Allen ranks:
12th in completion percentage (65.6)
7th in yards (3,947)
11th in yds/att (7.3)
7th in passing TDs (27)
2nd highest INTs (16)
16th in passer rating (91.5)
That's a good illustration. He doesnt rank in the top 5 of any passing category, except interceptions. And if you look just at th3 last month, he's in the bottom 5 of passer rating. And that's with alot of back-ups playing.
Most important is winning, and Allen's running and some timely 1st down passing conversions are big reason they've won 4 in row. But you can't have a QB in the MVP discussion that's not close to a league leader in any passing stats.

The Peacock exclusive ratings are out. Overall the game had an average viewership of 7.2 million viewers. But of that number 1.12 million were from just the over the air simulcasts in Los Angeles and Buffalo.
Buffalo, TV market rank #54, has 632,110 TV households, 374,000 of which were tuned into the game. That's 59.2%.
Los Angeles, TV market rank #2, has 5,838,090 TV households, 746,000 of which were tuned into the game. That's 12.8%.
And of that 746,000 in LA probably close to half the # were just general NFL fans - Football fans, Josh Allen fans, gamblers, fantasy players, etc who really don't care specifically about the Chargers. But the overall number of households in LA exceeeding Buffalonians tuning in, proves the point of exactly why the NFL wanted teams back in LA.

As it stands McD is one of 3 coaches in the Super Bowl era who has a .600 or better regular season record and no conference championship. He is 4-5 in the playoffs. 4-4 with Allen. Reid is 11-3 with 3 AFC Championships and two Super Bowls with Mahomes. One is trending toward Marty and the other is trending toward football immortality. Comparing the two is just lazy to be honest. Unless you want to compare Philadelphia Andy Reid, but even then he got an NFC championship in his 6th season.
You mention Marty below, but who is the 3rd coach w .600+ record in the regular season?
I thought it might be Chuck Knox who coached Rams, Bills, Seahawks, & Rams again. But I looked it up and he finished @ .558 for his careeer. He did coach teams to 7 playoff wins, overall 7 - 11 in postseason and never made a SB run. Knox was actually right @ .600 winning % until he returned to the Rams from 1992 - 1994 and went 15 - 33 to bring his % down before he retired. Knox has 193 total wins, which is #11 all time

Worst signing? Von or Russ?
Both very highly paid end of career guys filling a major need.
I think Russ. Broncos missed a chance to tank for a franchise guy.
Bills hurt themselves cap-wise but didn’t set themselves back too severely.Von is a really bad contract, but Russ is definitely worse. Overall money & dead cap (approx $68M compared to approx $32M if I understand correctly) is about double for Russ compared to Von. And screwing up the QB position hurts your team worse than any defensive position.
It's really when you throw in all the trade pieces that make it a total disaster for the Broncos. 2 1st rounders, including #5 overall, 2 2nd rounders and 3 rosterable players make it the worst trade of this century. What's amazing is that the Browns may have equaled it on the Deshaun Watson trade & signing. They Watson trade was terrible, but still TBD if it's as bad or worse than Wilson.

I just mean his burst looks better. I have been very disappointed in his play this year, but I’m hoping he finally gets his legs under him come playoff time
I thought you were joking (sarcasm) on your orginal post. Did you watch him during the Chargers game? He looked worse in that game than he did against the Chiefs or Cowboys and he wasn't good in those games. Absolutely zero impact against the pass (not even a QB pressure) or run & he played around 40 snaps.
I guess it's possible Von makes an impact in the playoffs, but I doubt it.

McCaffrey
Lamar
T. Hill

I dont think there's a strong enough case for anyone else, but still 2 weeks to go.

Yes and it’s been crickets
They can, and have, elevated Norman on game days.
True, but my point is that at this juncture in the season Norman's spot doesn't have anything to do with whether or not Elam gets activated. Elam won't go to the practice squad, he'll either be activated to the 53 or placed on season ending IR. If the team / Hyde determine that the risk is too great for Hyde to play, then they IR Hyde, and Elam would be an option for that spot.
If injuries create a situation where Norman gets elevated for the Dolphins game (assuming it's for the division) or a play off game, we're in trouble. I would much rather Elam play, or Hyde comes back and Lewis returns to his role as backup.

Elam ain’t coming back.
They stashed him on IR and replaced him with Norman.
Norman is currently on the practice squad. Not on the 53 man roster

If my addition is right, Buffalo has to put Elam on the 53 man roster by tomorrow or he's done for the year.
Right now, I think Hyde is the player who would make the biggest difference if they can get him back. After that, it's Jones. I'm not even thinking about Milano being back or he would be in consideration for the player who could make the biggest difference. Hyde is important because Rapp can't cover.
For Elam, yes they need to decide in the next couple days. Currently Bills are only at 52 active players, since last when they put Philips on IR. My feeling is that Jones will be 53 and they left the roster at 52 to give more time to make a decision if Hyde is going to play again, and perhaps activate Elam in his place to fill out the DBs.

Of course

He's not the answer on the PK, but he may be the only option at this point in the season. Special teams in general have been a weak spot on this team this year. The holding penalties that are popping up of late on the special teams are tanking field position.
How about Shakir. For Miami game & playoffs I would put the extra load on Shakir and give it a shot. Ty Johnson could be an option too.
Keep Harry inactive & open a game day spot. -

Well yea if the browns can win the division and win a wildcard at the same time then that changes things 😂. I’m still tryin to work out what would really happen with the games you picked but the bills would be in I’m almost positive because you killed off the colts and bengals
That would be a new and interesting wrinkle, to allow the Browns to get 2 playoff spots. Make-up to Browns fans for all the bad karma and losses they've experienced in the last 50 years. If the seeding matches up so they play themselves do they just get a bye? And if they have to play 2 games the same weekend in different cities do they roll out a split squad, like in MLB spring training.
@Einstein please help explain how this will work?

To be fair, the Chargers had 5 turnovers and the Raiders had 2 defensive touchdowns. And four of their offensive touchdown drives started on the Chargers side of the field. Only gave up 386 yards total. This wasn't the Denver defense against the Fins. The Chargers offense handed this game to the Raiders.
Giimme a break. The Raiders scored 6 offensive TDs in the 1st half. It was 42-0 at halftime against a team that was shut out last week. How much worse could the Chargers D possibly play.
It’s hard to put up yards on Offense when you start at midfield or in the 2’nd half your defense keeps scoring and kicking off. The Raiders scores TDs on 7 of their first 9 Posesaions

Not sure how anyone sees this as a break for us after the Bengals reserve O-linemen bullied our defensive line for 48 minutes in a playoff game.
The Bills were down to their back-ups on D-line too. Daquan & Von were out & Phillips was playing w a dislocated shoulder bc no one else was left.

That’s why I laugh when people say “he used 25 sources.” He used 25 sources - some had good things to say about McDermott and were not anonymous. That leaves about 15-20 sources who likely had an ax to grind. It doesn’t mean these were good sources
Exactly

It’s Dunne’s style. Presents one sided argument and doesn’t mind embellishments and using unverified comments from sources.

Reporter interviews 25 people. That's a lot. But yeah, he's biased because of something you believe happened but can't support in any way. That sounds like an awfully substantial analysis next to the guy who chased down 25 interview subjects and who were not homogenously anti-McDermott.
It’s hard to believe that he interviewed 25 people and no one would go on the record. In today’s world a lot of people are happy to put their name behind critical comments. Dunne clearly went into this project biased against McDermott.

So far the Bills have never missed the playoffs with Josh as the starter.
His rookie year, 2018 the Bills did not make the playoffs. Allen was the main starter, strarted 11 out of 16 games. He played in 12.

Shout out to the fans
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
We just stood in it. It was a light fluffy snow, but there was too much to really clear a space. Our section was full so you really couldn't put it in front or behind. We just moved it under our seat and kicked out a little space for our feet.
It's gonna be an issue next week, especially that it's all packed down, icy and more coming. The stairs were truly dangerous. I almost fell a few times. The people on the aisles seats were used as guard rails.
