Mahomes: Myth or Andy Reid...

practice update for today?

What's the news on Bernard?

I hope you're right and Bass has this mentality.

Pittsburgh was supposed to be winnable last night. I think I made that exact point in the OP. Regular season should be enjoyable. Save the stress for the postseason

Some of the freak outs in this thread are cracking me up.

Really? I disagree. I will take a confident mediocre kicker over a talented kicker with a bad case of the yips any day of the week.

Bass is 2/5 for kicks between 40-49 yards. Unacceptable

I honestly came on here this morning expecting news Bass was cut. Yesterday's game should have been the straw that broke the camel's back. When he went up to kick that 47 yard FG I said he was going to miss it and went to the bathroom. Joe Marino's take on this is that you don't want to move on from one inconsistent kicker to another inconsistent kicker. The problem is that Bass is pretty consistent... just consistently inaccurate. Please cut him and eat the contract already. He WILL cost us again in the playoffs.

6 hours behind the East Coast here in Hawai'i. Practice Squad call ups? There has to be at least 1.

Word on PS call ups?

This is regarding Wednesday's practice and considering when it was posted it's misleading and a little panic inducing. I can't find ANY Thursday reports yet. OP should add "on Wednesday" to the end of the title until further notice. We should be hearing about their practice status today soon.

Oh he definitely did. Even watching it live I noticed where the dirt off the field jumped in the air and thought it was in bounds.

He doesn't look like he's limping. I think tomorrow tells the tale.

So how long before the Bills have to activate Evans before he gets shut down completely?

I mean I definitely thought it was a head injury, but he was cleared by an independent doctor. As for the smelling salts and the entire event, go listen to Sal Capaccio's podcast from today. He was right on the sideline when all of this happened and also brought up the fact that smelling salts are consistently and commonly used by a lot of players before and during the games.

Crap... head coach bump... 3 losses in a row.

You misunderstood the thread. It wasn't "just make the postseason." It was "look at our division, our young team and our young Coordinators Coordinators... the games truly start mattering in the postseason, which we will be in."

The NFL season and postseason is generally a struggle all the way with the Elite QBs making up for it with just a handful of plays

Count me in on this bet please. I got a traffic ticket the other day for $97. How about we make it an even $100 so I can also get a coffee?

The difference is that in terms of coaching we have 2 very young Coordinators trying to figure things out week by week. After a few hours of mulling on this loss I actually think this game shows some growth in McDermott. I understand the criticism for today, but that 4th and 5 call for the TD was ballsy... and the call to actually go for it was obviously Sean's decision even if he's hands off on the play call. And also... in retrospect that ending was awful, but in his Press Conference McDermott basically said he wants the ball in Josh's hands. You guys remember what happened in KC with 13 seconds left on the clock? What if Josh hit one of those down the field throws the way Mahomes did to Kelce? Do we criticize him? What if we run Cook 3 times in a row and he gets stuffed and Houston still has plenty of time for that FG? Wouldn't we be crucifying him. If anything McDermott overcorrected for last week, but I'd rather see him demonstrate that kind of confidence in Allen than running the ball on 3 straight plays. And as for the play calls themselves, Brady is the play caller and he's still learning. Luckily the Super Bowl is over 4 months away

Playoffs start in 3 months... not next week

How many other NFL Head Coaches in the NFL have managed to not only make the playoffs for 5 straight years, but also to win a playoff game in 4 straight years.

Who know if we will... and who cares if we will? The Bills can beat those teams on the road at their best or close to it.
