Miyagi-Do Karate

This is a fun year, with some upstart teams making runs in the AFC and the powerhouses struggling. That said, we all know the ravens and chiefs will figure out a way to barely sneak into the playoffs, get healthy, and then be impossible to knock off.

The only positive from this loss is that I was sure that if I wore no Bills gear whatsoever that they would win every game for the rest of my life. It was a foolproof recipe for success. Now that they lost, I guess I will go back to wearing my Bills stuff.

I do not mean to steal @Just Jack ‘s thunder, but someone needed to start this thread. Who caused us to lose? One of the posters on here who started a jinx thread? Someone who changed their game day routine? Time to fess up. Let’s hear it.

Pretty awful two plays by Lawrence.

Did the chiefs player just deck the receiver?

the game plan should have been passes to the TEs and backs all night. Kincaid legitimately could have caught 20 passes. what’s frustrating is that everyone knew this coming into this game.

Special Teams were outstanding against one of the best ST units in the league. Franklin clotheslined their stud punt returner, and cam Lewis violently took out Gibson and caused a fumble. New punter looked solid too. Prater made his kicks.

No more fumbles!

it was so minor though. I have no idea how the line judge even saw it.

I actually have never seen a crew nit pick the oline like that ever. The interior holding calls were not holds. None of them. Even the illegal procedure and false starts were not good calls. they called the pats for that one false start on 3rd and inches, and their lineman didn’t even move. It was like he was taking a breath and they called it.

i could be wrong, but if he didn’t bail, he can get Shakir on that crosser in space. I like his chances of RAC for a first down. Oh, well.

I think the pats are solid and I like Maye. that said, I actually came away a little less impressed with the Pats. I thought Maye looked better last year in the pocket when we played them.

cool screen shots. And you are the one who wants to argue. I told you I didn’t want to engage you. I went back and looked and I disagree with you.

What happened to him? Was it a re-aggravation of the pec?

so I did go back and watch: 1) 2nd and 10: had cook right in front of him (maybe only a short gain, but depends on the leverage), but had Palmer for an easy out for like 7-8 yards. 2) 3rd and 10: two crossers, both open, especially Shakir on the left. Allen bailed way too early. Allen is great. But he played off script tonight. Sometimes that is great, but he came out on the short end tonight doing that.

i would go Back and watch to argue with you, but I can’t put myself through that again.

not to rip Josh too much, but he also blew it on our first red zone trip. Was supposed to hand the ball to Ty on a sweep on 3rd down, which was wide open. Instead of trusting him, he kept the ball And got nailed and had to flip it for like a 5-yard loss (and two penalties).

On that maye pass as DJ was bringing him down, I actually don’t think maye knew Diggs was out there. He didn’t even look up— was just throwing it away.

Lot of blame to go around. but Josh blew it on that last drive, hunting big plays. Very weird regression.

I bet we score here on a crazy lateral, but there is a flag.

Diggs is Running 6-yard hitch routes all night. That’s it.

Too much playground stuff. Just get the ball out quick and not hunt for these big plays.

these side judges tonight have been really nit picky. Can’t believe they called a false start on the pats there. These linemen can’t breathe.

Diggs just really running one route all night and getting all his stuff after the catch. Gotta tip your cap. He has been motivated. lot of game left. Can’t force it. Let’s keep running and stay balanced here.

Gotta throw the ball to the TEs and backs. Get Ty some catches.
