I would argue this is almost always the case

Heheh, I wouldn't be taking any goal line advice from the Browns considering the Bills are great in close to the end zone and the Browns are what we saw there

If you go all-in to make things good for Allen, if he fails, you have a real team set up for the next guy, rather than what Allen came into in 2018. It's the only choice

They hadn't dominated anyone to that point the year before either (Sure, they had a great first half against the Vikings, but the score difference in that game was only a couple points off our Redskins game, and the number of times they got blown out before and after that surely overpower the good from that game). I don't think I'd put my own money on a dominant performance this Sunday, but it's possible and the possibility isn't negligible. I do think they'll win COMFORTABLY. My guess would be 28-14.

The Bills were averaging 10.6 points per game last season before they played a bad football team and beat that number by 30. It could happen.

While true, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be allowed to question what Daboll is doing without reaming into Allen every single time we do it - it's its own issue independent of quarterback. We can also have a discussion about where Allen falls short. Two discussions are allowed. More, even.

Even when struggling, without Kittle and Sanders, San Francisco's offense looks like a different sport from ours. I just want some offensive minds on staff that can make our offense look like other mediocre offenses can look (not saying SF's always is), much less actually good ones It's possible for that to exist without firing Sean, he just needs to get the dang OC hire right

I know Wilson has given Metcalf nice stats...but that dude never looks like a football player when he tries to catch balls that aren't dropped into his arms like a mother would hand off her infant

Can y'all help me out here? Why on earth do teams wait to use their timeouts in this situation? Say you assume you're going to stop the Hawks here. You let the clock run down to the 2 minute warning, then use a couple timeouts, and if they kick a FG your offense probably gets the ball with like 1:30-1:40 left. But if they had started taking teh same timeouts at 2:20, then it's possible they'd get it just before the two minute warning even happens, as long as Seattle's next two plays don't take a combined 20 seconds. I see this type of clock stuff consistently and I'm almost positive teams screw themselves out of 30 seconds for no reason with regularity.

Lotta games need to happen between now and then. SF might lose to Seattle at home. Seattle could beat them there in the Playoffs, and I'm sure other NFC teams could get hot too. Less uncertain about the Pats coming out of the AFC. I'm going to assume it happens until proven otherwise

The NFC as a whole seems much more violent than the AFC

Right. Josh hasn't thrown a pick since Tennessee. Try to get closer, to score a TD, and if it doesn't work, odds are you still have the ball and are closer for Hauschka anyway.

Also, did you see that steelers interception that they fumbled? Maddening that nobody noticed the ball was clearly already out when the knee hit the ground. The TV crew was so insistent he was down, that they replayed it in slow motion, and they all stopped dead cold in the middle of their sentence when it got to that point because they knew - then they just moved on hurriedly to the game so as not to make it into a controversy.

This is my biggest takeaway. Yesterday was huge in this regard - the biggest thing, positive or negative, that this staff has done since McDermott punted in OT vs Indy.

11 offensive all pro positions per year and nearly 30 years...They should have one roughly once every 3-4 years if it they were distributed at random (obviously it's influenced by one team finding a stud and keeping them for a long time, but still) That is insane

And it's honestly more annoying reading those comments than the "insufferable" posts they refer to

Newton and Miller went before Dareus right?

Coaching - McDermott's playing not to lose and leaning on defense. We all knew that Hauschka is not right before he attempted that kick, and that playing to kick a long field goal (Allen said they wanted the 30 yard line, which is almost a 50 yard FG) rather than trying to win with over 50 seconds left inside their 40 yard line and a timeout is inexcusable. The further away we get from the game, the less that other stuff sticks out, and the more this does. This is the worst thing he's done in his coaching career, the only thing that could have come close is if we HAD gotten a tie vs Indy in the snow game after he chose to punt that ball.

Seriously when the hell do we get our Cooper trade Why does my team make offense look so hard

This is kinda goofy reasoning whether you like Allen or not - Allen has a better record than Rudolph so your own argument has made your point invalid

I don't like the "Team X lost to team Y this weekend, it happens!" when team X always has a track record of regularly beating teams better than any bills opponent in victory over the last two seasons Like, yes, the Colts lost to the Dolphins...after losing Luck, and THEN Brissett, and beating Houston and KC with Mahomes. Sure, the Saints lost to fall to 7-2, after beating Seattle, Dallas, Houston. Winning playoff games the year before in each team's case. Like, we looked like ass against Cincy, Miami, barely squeaking out wins, and fall in ugly fashion whenever our opponent is anything better than the dregs of the league

Not just the long bomb on third down, but that second 4th down we attempted, on that third and fourth down (less than 5 to go) combined, there was like one receiver that ran any sort of quick-developing route. the rest of the guys had deep, long routes, the pressure got to allen, and the plays died before they could unfold. We didn't need 20 yards, we needed 4.

Because flawed or not, there's a tremendous difference in how much I enjoy a season in which week 17 means something, and then ends well, and then the season actually continues, versus half empty stadiums with indifferent players as is usually the case in December?

Gotta win the next 2 for sure.

That's great for you, whoopee, that doesn't change anything about me calling out people calling normal posters who weren't saying anything egregious pathetic, now that they've been proven so wrong.
