Interesting. From a mental standpoint I completely disagree. I think there's an advantage to practicing like you are going to play and staying in the "grind" mentality. I feel like time off (for just about any job) rounds off your sharp edges and makes you rusty.

Nantz and Romo said they believe Josh cares so much about his consecutive start streak, that he'll play a series or even just 1 down vs. the Pats to keep it going. What do we think?

Weird flex but why not🤷🏻‍♂️

Win this week, rest next week. Get 2 seed. Gotta take care of business when Baltimore comes to town, and head to KC for the CG. Gonna be tough Hate to quote Nick wright here.... But I think he may have been right when he said between Bills, Ravens, and Chiefs... Whichever team doesn't have to play BOTH of the others will represent the AFC. And unfortunately that looks like the chiefs again. I'll cross my fingers that Baltimore loses in the wc round but they are playing great football right now.

Kinda weird before they even pick MVP What if he doesn't get it? Kinda tacky/ugly imo but I wouldn't be wearing a gargantuan diamond encrusted anything, so.... I'm not the right guy to ask. Flava flav says hi👋

Omg I'm so sorry to hear about your family getting shredded at the corn solstice festival. I bet you can't even eat corn to this day🌽 But I don't want your skunk pelts.

I mean rappoport is a little late to the party. We've known he had a broken hand all season. In other news... Grass is green and so is turf

Hilarious gag gift from the teammates More of a Christmas present for the Elvis impersonator Wrapped up and wheeled in like Hannibal lecter 😂

Bingo Been saying it for years. It would be better off for the fans if we didn't capitulate and go wherever, whenever, or buy any streaming service, or get channels. The NFL has completely forgotten that the fans make it successful and now demand fans do what they say. So far they have largely been a success from a business standpoint because fans have shown they will do anything. But if we wanted to make a difference, I would *not recommended* but admit we would have to either skip the games or watch them on an illegal feed. Only when they feel it in their pockets will they care what fans think. This is why I don't go to games anymore, the game experience is so watered down and expensive. And whenever they do a peacock+ or some other obscure service or channel, I reddit somewhere that you can get the feeds for free if you look around.

Yup This was the Detroit Lions vs Josh Allen Good thing he's the best in the business

Easily McD Sad part is he's a great coach 95% of the time, and builds a great locker room culture Unfortunately the 5% bad is always in the biggest moments. He's a "choker", sad to say it. Especially since Josh is clutch af. How many times have we watched Josh "win the game" and subsequently McD s nach defeat from the jaws of victory?

100% agree. Though it would require high level on the spot coaching. But we just saw another example of Josh being all-world and McD blowing it. It's good that it's less consequential than a playoff game but it's another canary in the coal mine. Spoiler: the Canary did not come back.

I, too am in group 4; though I have had an underlying "show me the baby" shift. I have often called for McD to get replaced, specifically last year I wanted Harbaugh or Ben Johnson. I think McD's myriad of coaching blunders have, to quote patty Mahomes; "robbed [Josh] of greatness" where I feel Josh "won" some games (not least of all 13 seconds), and McD's decisions gave the game away. The shift for me is due to the inherent nature of defensive HC's needing a good/great OC to work with your franchise QB. Perhaps McD needs that to achieve the greatest success, whereas an Andy Reid or Sean Payton type coach is never gonna leave for their shot at HC for obvious reasons. And McD might just have that OC in Brady. The other contributing factor to the shift for me is how loose the team feels. Sean is obviously a fantastic character guy, a culture guy, who builds a unique comaraderie among the players and gets the most out of them. But, being in group 4, I do feel a duality. This year really does feel like our year, but a part of me is just waiting for the other shoe to drop. After all, we have seen great regular seasons, but can they put it all together in the playoffs and cement this team as one of the ones? And that's why I say "show me the baby". I wouldn't say I have tons of faith in Sean's coaching decisions or our fate this year, but if they can pull it out and bring home the bacon, I'll eat the happiest, largest, most tough and greasy plate of crow you could imagine. And it'll go down like bourbon... But if we lose again in the div round, I'm certain to feel like I felt at the end of the last 2 years... Like it's time for a change.

I like rex But I think it was obvious with the Bills *a decade ago* he doesn't want to put in that kind of work anymore. And that blowhard type tough guy persona just seems incompatible with the fickle hippie currently on their QB depth chart. Now if rex was ready to work and they had a grittier QB (ala Baker, Jameis, etc) this could be interesting given their defensive talent and skill potions.

I think if we see them again it's imperative to score first. Maybe more than once. We don't stop the run well and that's pretty much their whole schtick. Get up on the scoreboard and they can't just hand it off. I also doubt josh would have as rough a game the second time around. Overall I'd be pretty nearvous if we see them again in the playoffs (more than any other team), but we should be favored despite the drubbing we took back in week 4.

Yeah that was gross. He could have sacked Mahomie but stopped trying. I've lost hope. That's the kind of play you bring him in to make against a rival. And instead he was just chillin' between the whistles.

This drive is all on the coaching staff Touch that little mini WR at the line and he won't be able to make a catch 1 second after the snap.

Haven't seen anything on Twitter (don't even have an acct) But yeah I definitely saw him crouching holding that hand and trying to "shake it off". He definitely blasted it off a Phin helmet.

The crazy thing is Phin fans are saying the refs should have been in bills jerseys, because they were trying to help the bills win. I saw some bad calls both ways but those back-to-back holdings were BAD BAD. Taking points off the board for ticky-tack calls. The rapp flag was a joke. And the poyer flag, well... They had to throw that. And the idea that Poyer was a "double agent" (very popular among dolphin fans)... Yeah except he broke the arm of our star in the making WR. So if he was trying to help he didn't do it very well.

Lol nice backtrack Deferring is probably the easiest decision in all of football You can call it arrogance, but it's really just sound decision making. When you take the ball you risk losing your advantage immediately (as happened today). It also puts a ton of pressure on the first drive. If you don't cash in for whatever reason, you lose the strategic advantage. When you defer you not only have the advantage of taking away the other teams advantage right away, but you also gain the possible coveted "double-dip", getting an extra possession. Tell me again how I'm ignorant?

No I'll never praise taking the ball. It's stupid. You ALWAYS defer. Always. McDermott made a dumb decision, which you have chosen to defend.

It's like McDermott hates making good decisions. Winning the toss and taking the ball instead of deferring? Wtf

DQ aside, I think Beans just outsmarted himself with the WR room this year. He did at WR what he's done at other positions previously (with better results than the WR "rebuild"). He signed a bunch of guys who either had above average/elite physical traits or needed a reset, hoping one or more would emerge. MVS and Claypool with legit chances to break through. Samuel and Hollins with real opportunities to step into the light. And of course all of this with the expectation Kincaid would be Kelce 2.0. But obviously it all fell straight on it's collective face and he looks like a dumbass. Had his plan worked, he'd look like a genius. That's what he was hoping for. I also think that the expectations have shifted. I think beane and FO generally expected a "down" cap correction year, or as Beane put it himself "a transition year"... But then they found themselves 2 games ahead in the east, Tua/phins toast and Jets looking bad. Beane says "F it", stops the failed "everybody eats" at WR BS, and goes out and gets a real WR. I'll give him credit for reading the room and making a move. That Samuel contract though, yowza. And it didn't have to get to this. As you said he could have just gotten us a real WR to begin with and cut out all the nonsense. He obviously didn't, but at least we aren't the team we used to root for, who would assuredly do NOTHING until the next off-season. I will completely agree with you I'd like to see over investment in the offense as well. We have Josh freaking Allen. Just outscore everyone else and save the experimentation for the defense.

Sure you can make it seem like I'm wrong. Aikman and McD had the same problem... Looking at it in a vacuum, without seeing the larger picture of this is Aaron Rodgers and not just "generic NFL QB" Doesn't mean I contradicted myself but if it makes you feel cool to talk on the internet, more power to you.

Of course it was going to be a hail Mary. McDermott failed to see the obvious. Even Aikman goes "they will try to work the sideline here" and I thought (out loud to my TV), "why would they work the sideline with the best hail Mary thrower the NFL has ever seen" And the bills are one of the worst at defending it.
