Ehhhh, he was teetering the line in that post game interview. He didnt say anything crazy, but he danced around accountability for certain.... I also saw a guy fighting demons between wanting to tell these reporters off and trying to turn on some charm, to take some heat out of the kitchen. Id be shocked if anything gets turned around. I think a few games riding pine/barely producing will tip the scales, and he'll end up a passive malcontent at the least. I've seen guys similar to this at work before. They'll try their best, against their nature, to not explode... but the second its apparent things cant be smoothed over, is when they start screaming, slamming doors and say "F - U! I quit". Like a last ditch effort to make it lookk like their decision to leave, when in reality, they knew firing was imminent Not what im rooting for, and would prefer he performs for the team.... but gun to my head and I have to guess.... we'll get the temper tantrum quit before you can fire me kinda move

I'll play some devils advocate here (theres some sincerity too): 1. With our injuries, and s*xual kink for getting injured, the #1 seed would be more important than anything else to me 2. Even if Chiefs win, I cant see them winning enough games further to get into playoffs... and if they did, cant say they scare me this year, especially at home 3. Chiefs win - Hurts Indy - Helps Us - and meaningless win for KC hurts their draft stock 4. I'm not going to let a win vs TB Bucs where we had no defense, fool me into buying in full heartedly into believing this team is a contender 5. Coleman addition by subtraction effect, could be vastly over estimated and temporary... while I do think removing him has a positive effect, its hard to count on Shavers being the real deal, TY Johnson looking that explosive, and my God we are in trouble if our running game looks like that again *woof* Its a weird Buffalo team this year, but also a weird NFL. I dont know whats real, and Im not sure if the players know. Can they stay focused? Will they buy back into McD and staff? If/when we suffer another loss, will morale come flying of the hinges again? I'm not a doomer, if anything Ive drank way more KoolAid than DoomAid... I hope we work through this, but cautiously optimistic is about best I have to give. It's like the drunk dad that never shows up, all the sudden cleans up for a month and is fun to be around, going to AA meetings... I'm excited about the month, but in the back of my head a relapse can be around any corner, and I been hurt too many times fully buying in

Yeah youre spot on. Unfortunately with 3 big returns between 2 players, I also am highly suspicious how much of it was us versus them lol

What the heck was up with all the awesome returns yesterday? Felt like we broke off more nice returns yesterday than we have all year, or even all of last year! Suspicious that TB may have horrendous ST's, but hoping its not a fluke. Also, would be a great time to get Ray involved in running game. We need a 2nd guy to be able to put out in the run game (Ty seems more comfortable in pass game). We cant afford to grind Cook down like we have rest of year.... but we also need a 2nd guy putting out. Really hope we can build off Ray & Ty having nice days yesterday. (Also loved Hardman's deep shot down the field!). Worst case, let Hardman return Kickoff's and turn him into a punt catcher. I read he had 9 punt return fumbles in his career before yesterday!

No. Its hard to sound authentic when clearly biased, but his fingers got up under the lip of the helmet, and caused a reaction exactly the same as a face mask. At first i thought it was a bad call, but i think it was actually a super high level call.... especially once that "rule specialist" guy came on... that dudes a shill for NFL, but he said their is a provision for it in rulebook, I doubt he waws making that up... either way good call and id say the same if it was on us Yeah that one was rough. Lineman call that a "*****", its advanced lineman play, but basically, you catch a player over extending/reaching and you redirect his momentum and drive him down. Dion has been a beast with it, but he got flagged on it twice last year.... which is rough as hell, considering thats basically highlight reel lineman stuff

I could wrap my head around him spelling Shakir lightly and maybe some reps for run game. He'd need a good week at practice and a total attitude change. Could be great for him to have to earn it, instead of gift wrapping the snaps hes seen. Could also completely undo him and see him off roster in 2-3 weeks. Im not worried either way about him

Allen will be completely off his leash with scrambling and designed runs IMO. it will go back on at some point. I dont expect 44 or whatever again, but hoping we find a way to make it work

Gabe can block it too though. Fairly confident he would. Next year is a different story, but knowing this team, and seeing the WR predicament we are in. Hes in great shape to see playing time and meaningful snaps. Hes not going to find a better place than where hes currently at to rehab his image and show what hes got. Have to imagine Bills have msde it clear to him, and they feel confident hed refuse getting poached!

Dating yourself here lol was thankful to look him up and realize I never knew him, not someone I knew and forgot about haha

Bananas take.

Is Henry on injury report? Its super logical that hed be washed. Hes ancient for a RB, especially with the physicality he has, and also his speed being such a weapon. The type that losing half a step would majorly hamper his game. However, like the old Brady pats, everytime it looked over, they got up like Michael Meyers. Fully realize this is more a Bills ptsd post, than it is a valid concern... but id feel better knowing Henry hadnt been making injury report appearances this year.

Why isnt that an option in your opinion?

Encouraging to see something we dont usually see. Not just default D , every scenario, every team

4th is a pipe dream. Maybeeee if its '27. Id be impressed to grab a 5th, but very well could end up being a pick swap of 6th and 5th type deal

Fair. I cooled down over the week. Usually over a loss by Tuesday. Especially something like a division loss, where it was 'their SB', we get outplayed, but had some mistakes. Last week wasn't even the blowout, it was the 53 man, emotionless, walking corpse. Today was ugly but it was a win against a good (not great) team. We can build on that, theres something to look forward to. We quite literally cant have another let down game like that again. We don't control our destiny with 1-seed, but we keep winning and we could get back in driver seat.
