But they have played their best football of the year in the last month.

Oh I'll be a wreck Sunday. The game is 11.30pm UK time that is a LOT of time to kill haha. I am confident for the Chiefs game. Not that I think it's a foregone conclusion or anything like it but even taking the emotion out of it my head says tight game, Bills slight favourites. If it is Philly in the Superbowl I'm a bit more worried. Their trenches are just so darn strong both sides.

I think getting away from the run was his biggest fault. That would have helped the defense a bit if he'd stuck with it. Only 14 carriers for Gibbs when he was destroying Washington was the knock on Johnson. Of course the defensive injuries were the biggest issue for Detroit. No debate there. Their defense just didn't have enough horses left. But I do think Johnson could have helped a bit more by staying with Gibbs somewhat.

Do we know when it would be? I would seriously consider coming.

I think this might make it less likely Brady. Saleh is really tight with the owner. I think he might have the influence to get the GM fired. I doubt Brady does but maybe.

What happens the rest of this week affects it too. If the Jets can seal Glenn and then another domino falls somewhere teams start worrying about waiting it out.

Yea I think this is bad news for the Bills. I think Coen was the front runner there. Now he is out of the running I think it is Brady or Saleh.

The foul to me is right there at 3 seconds into that video and at that point Allen has NOT released the ball, but there is illegal contact beyond 5 yards. What happens once the ball is in the air, to me, is not DPI and is closer to OPI if anything.

I'd rather he spent the time honing his release package, trying to get more explosive in the first step, refining his route running and just developing that feel for leverage so that fewer of these balls end up in contested catch scenarios. It is hard to make a living as an outside receiver in the NFL if every boundary catch is contested. And unless he can work on the things that will help him separate more effectively that is where he is stuck.

He plays to contact. He always has. Until he can get out of that habit he will struggle with separation down the field.

It was close I think as Josh jet go of the ball it had turned into the players hand fighting and arguably Coleman was the aggressor. I think the foul was earlier in the down.

I like Glenn more as a leader than I do as an Xs and Os coach anyway. I never felt his defense in Detroit was particularly schematically advanced. He had (before the injuries) a really talented front and some industrious linebackers who all played really hard for him. He could be a good Head Coach for that reason but the coordinator picks will be big for him. If he is bringing a rookie DC with him I hope for his sake he has an experienced OC lined up. EDIT: oh and I'm 3/3 in my pin the Head Coach on the donkey predictions.

Nope. 29%. What's your way over the top prediction for his usage this week? You are batting 0 from 2 so far.

They were kn big personnel. I imaging that is an install level alert and it just becomes whoever is lined up initially in a certain spot is the receiver and because they were in big that was Knox.

Of course it should still be caught. But Lamar made a really easy throw and catch as difficult as a really easy thing can be. If that makes any sense? Ha.

Im only 7 years short of 30!

Totally disagree. I am with Chris Simms.

You mean Damar?

I don't need a Superbowl win to bring me peace. It would make me extremely happy. But I don't need it for peace.

Officiating is always a legitimate concern because it is so inconsistent. It is moreso because of the stakes not the opponent IMO.

Not from me you wouldn't when the Bills commit a penalty I call it a penalty. The Ravens got hosed a little in that the wrong penalty (with the bigger tarrif applied to it) was called. But it was a definite foul.

White committed a foul. I think it was holding / illegal contact and 5 yards rather than a spot foul but it was a foul. He had Coleman grabbed before Josh released the ball.

It's most aggressive compared to the mean response by NFL coaches in that scenario. Correct.

Fold him up? What like you'd fold up a beach chair??? I think I know just the man for that..... hope Kro is coaching some technique this week 😄

I think they want Aaron Glenn. But if he is off the market I think McCarthy is a possibility. Interestingly the three guys currently invited back for a second (in person) interview are: Glenn (tomorrow if the Jets don't hire him today); Mike Kafka (Giants OC, former KC QB coach) Anthony Weaver (Dolphins DC, was the Bills DL coach way back under Marrone and Pettine I think) EDIT: worth saying you can't second interview coaches whose teams are still live this week.
