Hand-wringing over a handful of draft busts over the last 4 or 5 years is a waste of time. It happens - and will continue to happen- to even the best of the best. if the busts were ridiculous reaches at the time (Maybin, EJ Manuel, etc) you’d have a leg to stand on, but they weren’t.

I think it’s a little like hockey. The better the players get, the less fun it can be to watch. You end up with super low-scoring matches/games as they don’t want to make the mistake causing them to lose.

Having to win 5 straight games just to REACH the playoffs, and then playing in the Wild Card round, got us in the end. How nice would it be to rest starters week 18 and then get a bye??? Dare to dream

His shank at the end was bad, but the blocked FG may have been worse. I don’t even know how it’s physically possible for a ball to end up THAT far down the field. I’m assuming it hit someone squarely in the helmet.

That roughing call is made 100 out of 100 times. You may not like it, but it wasn’t an atrocious call.

I’d tend to think that for the Bills being at home, this is a lot less disruptive? Mentally they weren’t yet in “game day mode”.

Key play: Alec Ingold’s cheap blindside block penalty gave Miami a 2nd and 30 and derailed any chance at a drive. Early 4th Q. Ended up punting a couple plays later, the rest is history.

I actually prefer that Lamar is inactive, vs him starting and playing a few series then going to the bench. Give Hundley all the reps in practice, he will be motivated to show what he’s got. I’d take him over Mason Rudolph

Just rewatched last plays of the game. In real time I wondered how they managed to get 2 plays off after Oliver’s sack. Now I’m REALLY wondering…

If you rewatch that play, Allen basically takes NO drop-back…it was designed as just a quick hit to Diggs. When Josh realized that play was going to be blown up , to his credit he knew he couldn’t the scan the field and find an open receiver. instead he just quickly reset and threw deeper and to the outside for Kincaid.

My son said that play probably looks great against our D in practice, so they keep running it.

Have you watched any NFL games this year? 80% of QBs don’t make that play, nor are they making really ANY plays of significance.

I was there and it was a great game on a beautiful day. Winston actually lit it up as the game went on..I thought he was going to turn out to be a real good QB..nope.

Why not interfere with the guy on each play from the 1?? They would eventually have to kick the FG if it got down to 4 or 5 seconds

I feel like this is a version of the NBA’s “load management”. 17 games, sneak in some rest during the season when they think/hope it won’t affect the outcome of the game.

But this isn't college. We've seen how NFL teams like the Bills look at the big picture as far as roster construction, playing time, etc goes. It was just a couple seasons ago that they kept Bates on the bench just in case they needed him due to an injury, even though he was better than at least one of the starting O-linemen (Ford).

I see what you did there….you can cling to the whole “can’t break a tackle” schtick by complimenting his ability to avoid contact altogether. Well played, sir

great argument

How is it different?? As he said…guys are literally grabbing and pulling the ball carrier across the line, for one.

I’m heading up from Virginia Beach with some buddies and will stop by with alcohol, and camaraderie! Maybe a dumb question, but how do you guys recognize one another?? Name tags? “Hi, my name is JUST JACK”

I thought the whole point of the term “JAG” was because there’s no difference from one guy to the next. Now there’s a “best JAG” category??

Rodgers and even Love were both 1st rounders that their team was going to give plenty of rope to develop. Guys like Corral get a few chances, and if they blow them or get hurt, more times than not that's a wrap.

A bit revisionist.. I believe Mahomes’ comment was actually something like “the Bills are maybe a better matchup”, which could mean a bunch of things. Strengths and weaknesses that might seemingly fit better, etc.

Thanks guys that sounds like the way to go. I went to Hammers last year for the Vikings game. Very fun but so packed I couldn’t really get my bearings. Did sneak in a bowling ball shot though.

Making the trip up from VA for at least one game with some friends and family. It is kind of a hassle to drag a grill/chairs/table/food with me. ( Beer is never a problem or inconvenience 😁). When walking around the lots, I see some set-ups where you pay $20 or so to jump in on their tailgate, or even designated areas where radio stations have something going for those that paid. Does anyone have recommendations or connections to any of these types of tailgate set-ups? I could just wing it, but you know how it can be with a group on gamedays.
