That wasn't a horse collar tackle. The player wasn't pulled towards the ground nor did his knees buckle.

Well, I guess we are going to find out. Losing head to head against Cinci and LAC most certainly is a meaningful conference loss. Not only do we lose the head to head against them but it worsens our conference record against teams we won't have a head to head game with. Those to me are the most important wins, not the meaningless ones.

I didn't say 4 teams are going to come out of the north. At least one is likely to. Thats one less spot out of 3. It's not unheard of for 3 teams to happen. It's happened in one conference for the last 3 years. The AFC is still a dog fight this year. There are a lot of teams that are within 1 game of us right now. All but the Pats are within 2 games. We can't afford conference losses if we lose the division because either the other teams have a better conference record currently or we play them. There are only 3 spots. There are 4 teams within a game. There are 4 more within 2 games. Some of them we play. Some of them have a better conference record. We have to win the conference games if we don't win the division.

I don't need to separate anything. I don't gamble. I used to professionally play poker. I got away from that a long time ago. You still sound overly happy to bet against your team when you need to come here to declare you hammered a bet.

Comparatively to your other bets that is a lot for you. You seem pretty proud to say you "hammered" the bet though and honestly to me that's pretty gross being proud to bet against your team.

Then when you show that other teams make the same mistakes and have the same type of rough games, you'll just get the "yeah but that team won a sb or that team went to a sb." or "that team always starts slow" or "that team is on the rise and legit sb contenders." It's always something.

I think we would be lucky to. Think about our schedule and what teams have to beat us for us to not win our division. Some of them are the same teams fighting for a wc spot. Bengals, Chargers, even the Jets are a half game behind us right now lol. If they beat us then they have the head to head. Then the ones that we don't play, like Pitts and Browns currently have a better conference record. There are a lot of teams sitting within 1 game of us right now that also won't win their division.

What does hammered mean, 50 bucks? When I see someone say “hammered” I expect they bet the house.

I would say most people don’t expect us to win. This is the type of game the Bills do win because of that. It’s so weird. need SuperJosh this week.

same. Even if they lose this week, as long as it’s close and competitive I’ll feel good if we get blown out then probably not. Getting to the superbowl has a lot to do with who you play and when though. Just need to get there. Anything can happen from there.

yeah I don’t think it matters much if we get the wc or division non 1 seed. Only thing that makes a difference is the 1 seed. I feel that the chances of getting a wild card is small though considering our conference losses that would happen if we don’t win the division. Too much competition this year.

I agree. A loss here and a Miami win against KC, which I think Miami can pull off, and the Bills are going to be outside looking in. Miami would have big division lead with a soft schedule while the Bills go on to a rough schedule. These games are pretty much all must win if we want to win the division. If we don't win the division its these conference games that are going to keep us from doing it and these same conference games could keep us out of the playoffs altogether.

The only real team SF beat this year is the Cowboys and they are as up and down as we are. Purdy is what he is... an over rated middling QB. The difference between him and someone like Mac Jones is the 49ers have a stout team around him. Thats good enough against a lot of teams but he turned the ball over 6 times in the last 3 games.

He needs to play to get back in shape. Putting him on IR is just going to slow his progress.

Woa an onside kick worked. Not that it will matter but it worked.

Thats entirely the point. People making a big deal of a camera showing a few seconds of Josh sitting on the bench not doing anything. ALL Qbs do that. Doesn't matter if they are trash, elite, won a SB, haven't won a SB. It doesn't matter. People like you just finding something to whine about.

Sometimes QB sit on the bench and do nothing. The camera shows a few seconds of it out of a 3+hour game.

Mahomes makes all the same mistakes as Josh and has bad games too. Not as often but he does. No QB is perfect. But Tom Brady was special because of the things Tom Brady was good at and did. Josh is special because of the things Josh can do and does. Josh isn't Tom Brady. Trying to make him Tom Brady isn't going to work because that isn't what he is special at.

Been saying that. You don't get the special plays if you want a guy that "just takes what the defense gives you." You get a normal QB.

I don't care? What I care about is going from having the other team pinned inside their own 5 and getting the ball at midfield or better to getting the ball in our own redzone. Saying some other teams might have that problem doesn't change the fact that it's a problem. It hurts the team. We had the ball on their 23 and went back to our own 23. I didn't say our special teams sucked. I said that portion of our special teams sucked and it did. Newsflash... it did. I guess in your book, no penalties are a problem because all teams get penalties.

Its a continuous problem to be called for a penalty on our punt returns. It literally flipped the field back in Tampa’s favor and instead of starting with good field position we started with bad field position. You can roll your eyes at me all you want for saying that but it’s true. I gave credit to where STs was good as well.

There is nothing wrong with wondering and wanting to know but they are just as entitled to medical privacy as everyone else. Also, a few weeks is nothing. When I had my neck surgery I had some paralysis issues for months. I still have a ton of problems over 2 years later. He is rehabbing. It's going to take time. I doubt this was career ending though.

Yes, it was a crap spot for sure. I also think we go for it if the spot was correct.

I get your point of view and I think it's fine. I also think it's fine what they did. Allen has drawn the Offside many times. People just only remember that it looks like a waste of time when they don't or if something bad happens. It was unfortunate but I am not bothered by it. Also not bothered by your point of view either.

I'm guessing Morse snapped the football because the defender was Offside or he at least thought so.
