Sammy Watkins' Rib

I agree mostly with the OP. However, anyone not putting this loss fairly on both sides of the ball is not being truthful. It's a tough ask for a defense to hold an offense down for an entire game when you turn the ball over 5 times. Two of the fumbles led directly to FG's as they were committed in FG range for the opponent. Heck, Denver just trotted out the FG unit after the first Allen fumble without running a play. I think they scored 7 off of the Cook fumble but Denver did have to drive the ball down most of the field to score. But at very least, if Bills don't commit the two Allen fumbles, we are likely talking about a game the Bills win where the team still commits two turnovers, losses the turnover battle but still walks away with a 30 - 24 win in a game that never goes to over time. Two of the three Denver TD's were scored on deep shots against the back up to the back up at the Safety and CB position. Maybe shouldn't be an excuse but it is just the reality. Does Denver score either of those two TD's if White and Cam Lewis don't go down?

Excellent question OP. And it is exactly why I want to keep Brady in place as OC.

If only this wasn't like the 5th time dude couldn't catch a ball cleanly this year for us. And he's only been on the team for what 5 games? Just catch it clean and none of this BS comes into play. Cooks was Beane's savior to save our season. And I give him some credit; we probably don't beat the Jags without Cooks. But ultimately, Cooks and his poor hands were not enough for this team. And like it or not, I think replay review overturns the call if the game is in Buffalo, but it wasn't. This was really one of those 50/50 calls. I guarantee if we were the defense on this play we would be screaming that there was no way he had control of the ball long enough to constitute a catch.

All I care about is retaining Joe Brady as OC. I don't want him as HC. But it will be a kick in the balls if Allen is working yet again with a new OC. It would be his 4th OC in just six seasons. Absolutely nothing wrong with the games Brady has been calling. We all know he has been a dealt a crap WR room to work with and despite that he engineered an MVP season out of Allen, a league rushing title for James Cook along with the #1 rushing offense and has engineered back to back top 5 scoring offenses. I think the late season addition of Brandin Cooks has shown that Brady is able and willing to get production out of a deep passing game. The problem is Beane has not provided that deep threat receiver capable of 1 getting separation (Cooks could do this consistently) and 2 catching the ball cleanly (Cooks failed at this).

Unfortunately, I think we are about to see just how much McD was helping in covering up some very flawed defensive personnel acquisitions by Beane. And unlike the Bengals, we don't have the league's best receiver duo to help us out on the other side of the ball. To say the defense is mostly to blame for this most recent postseason exit is foolish and wrong. The offense spotted the Broncos six points on back to back fumbles by Allen to bookend the first and second half. Just eliminate these two fumbles and the D holds the Broncos to 24 points in regulation despite still having a James Cook fumble and Allen INT. Two of the three Bronco TD's were scored on our backups to the back up. One on Strong when Lewis missed a play and the other on Dane Jackson when Tre White missed a play. Maybe that is giving McD an excuse but either way it is at the very least incredibly unlucky.

Broncos are on a 2-game winning streak. The Jags ended an 11 game winning streak for them four weeks ago. At the game will be played about 5,280'. A couple thousand feet below 7,000 feet.

Agreed. I think he would be good for the Bills. But would he be better than Allen has been here? Hard to see that. So easy for us to see Mahomes in 2018 and 2019 with Kelce, Hill, Hunt and Andy Reid. Allen came into the league in 2018 with a supporting cast that would make this seasons Bills WR/TE group look like the greatest show on Turf. Beyond just the playmakers, I don't think our O-line from 2018-2022 was anything to brag about.

Moving on from Brady would be a mistake. It's what teams like the Browns and Jets do. We really want to give Allen his fourth OC in six years? Why in the world would we move off a coordinator who in back-to-back seasons has called plays for the league MVP and rushing leader? Bills offense with Brady: 2025: 4th in ppg 4th in ypg 2024: 2nd in ppg 10th in ypg This year Brady has dealt with not only not having a number one WR, but the Bills best passing weapon in Dalton Kincaid only played in 12 games, only 11 with Allen when we throw out the week 18 Jets game. The player who is supposed to make our passing game was only on the field for a career low 38% of the snaps this year down each consecutive season he has been in the league from 63% to 57% to 38%. Our best weapon in the passing game did not play at all in the three losses to the Flacons, Texans and Eagles. He missed the entire second half in the loss to the Dolphins I believe as well. So, Kincaid was available for 6 quarters in the total 20 quarters that added up to our 5 losses this year. IMO, there is only one person who should be feeling the heat and that is Beane.

LOL. Then Craig Carton goes on to say Joe Flacco didn't get any credit for his Super Bowl run because is it was all about the Ravens defense? Is he seriously confusing Flacco with Trent Dilfer? Flacco had arguably the greatest statistical Super Bowl run of all time for a QB. Two out of the 4 games the Ravens defense gave up 30+ points.

LOL Joe Burrow. You almost forget he made it to a Super Bowl. Will we look back at Joe Burrow's career like a poor man's Dan Marino? Joe Burrow has made the playoffs in only 2 out of 6 seasons he has been in the NFL. Burrow has played a total of 7 postseason games and sports a passer rating of 93.8, 7 points lower than his regular season passer rating of 101.1 Joe Burrow was carried by his defense in his Super Bowl run. His individual play was underwhelming, and a steep drop off from his regular season play. Contrast that with Allen who has made the playoffs 7 consecutive seasons and 7 out of his 8 seasons in the league. Josh Allen is about to make his 15th career playoff start and has a postseason passer rating of 102.4, 8 points higher than his regular season passer rating of 94.4

I'd need to see who is on their list. I assume they are only including QB's who have won a Super Bowl. Taking out every QB that has won a Super Bowl I would say Allen is the clear number playoff QB of all time. I'd put him ahead of Super Bowl appearance only QB's like Burrow, Marino and Kelly.

What's wrong with that? I think that was after two consecutive defensives Offside at the goal line correct or were they trying to get a jump on a FG block?? How many times should we allow the defense to blatantly jump Offside? As many as they want?

Pisses me off. "Clear and obvious" is really no longer a thing when it comes to replays.

This week injury report for Allen is going to be comical. Should it list all his body parts: knee, foot, hand etc. Or should it just read: body
