Success

I wish we had a couple of those in the playbook. There really hasn't been anything like that. Just one of those a game can keep a D on its toes.

LOL JA is to Wright what Lebron is to Skip. Dude is obsessed.

Seeing Zack Moss thrive w/ the Colts (as well as Teller & a few other notables) makes me wonder if we manage our players well.. Like Dorian Williams getting pulled the past couple of weeks. Sometimes, you have to ride w/ players who are more talented but inexperienced - so they get that experience. I wish Elam was starting. Tre is out, he's a 1st rounder. If they can't make it work, it feels like that's more on the staff than on Elam.

I mean, I have issues w/ McD....but answers in a presser? Belichick was the greatest coach ever, and if anyone can get a coherent thought out of the mumble salads he provides, I'd be amazed.

2 things are true: Knox is overpaid, and he's also valuable to the offense. In no way is this a good thing. I hope we can get him back soon. This season, man. I was hoping for a "healthy" year after last season. Alas.

Could this be the 3-layer chess thing that Spock used to play? Mac gets back on track. The Pats lose out on the Williams/Maye sweepstakes. Mac does just enough to get an extension next year, a la Danny Jones. Mac reverts back to form, and the Pats are stuck w/ him for years.

Lucky to win 3 more games? That's much more outlandish than saying they might be able to go 8-2 the rest of the way.

Nicely put together. And some of it is obvious. I'd like to see more no-huddle, too. Just throw it in there once in awhile - especially when the offense isn't doing well. And we NEVER do any trick plays. It's good to have a couple in the playbook, and most other teams do.

I saw on one of the shows that he had to hurry his throws over 40% of the time. For whatever reason, protection broke down yesterday.

The Eagles lose to KC in the postseason just like we do.

Jones had so much time. And that's the scouting for him. He's great w/ a clean pocket. He falters when pressured & when he has to improvise. But our offense being inept for a half let their offense set the tone, and the pace. If our offense gets up on them early, it could have made them more one-dimensional.

I hope it doesn't leak that they had a pinata w/ Dorsey's face on it at the meeting...

I was hoping we'd see a "player's only" kind of meeting. People can roll their eyes, but this kind of thing HAS worked. It can really clear the air on a lot of stuff, and hopefully the guys can get back to playing a little more loose, and having more fun out there.

No. But, we were on a path after the Miami game. The Jags game put us on a different path, that we have been stuck on. We really need to get back on that other path, starting w/ the Bucs game. We picked up some weird negative momentum, and it can shift just as easily. But it needs a nudge.

I wish we knew timelines on Ford & Milano, and even if they'll make it back. It sounds like they're holding out hope for both. But right now, we probably need another piece on D. I don't know if Suh is it. I'd probably look more at CB or LB. I feel like our line is okay when Oliver is in there - missing him yesterday really hurt.

A minor pet peeve - yesterday was the warmest handshake BB has given McD. He's usually pretty quick & gruff, but he actually pulled McD in for a quick hug and said a few things this time. It's what we know about him: he's just a sore loser. Anyone can be gracious when they win.

Checking the Phins schedule - we probably can't lose more than 2 more to have a shot at the division in our last match-up w/ them. Chiefs & Ravens are the 2 toughest games they have. Assuming they split those, I could see them dropping another division game to the Pats or Jets, or possibly a loss to the Cowboys or Titans. Probably a 12-4 record for them heading into that final week. If one wants to dream, maybe 11-5.

I usually think we get the bad side of it - but yesterday, some of those roughing calls on Allen were pretty borderline, and they really helped us. I thought the refs missed a few our way also, but overall, Pats fans had more reason to gripe yesterday. And certainly, Giants fans had more reason to gripe last week.

Thanks for the details. I always wondered about that. It will be really nice to finally play Mahomes IN Buffalo.

Fans gotta show up for this one. This team is having a crisis of confidence right now. A loud stadium on Thursday will be a boost.

He & Cook give me a lot of optimism for the future. Davis being a no show much of the time really hurts this offense. We're getting good production from WR1 and TE now.. Harty/Shakir are doing fine at the 3/4 spots. To have a #2 that doesn't give us 5-6 catches a game consistently really sets us back.

A "Get Righter" if there ever was one.. I simply don't see us losing this game, unless I've entered a parallel universe where nothing that formerly made sense does anymore. Get a mini-bye, then a chance at the Bengals again. That's a team that is struggling as bad us we are. We can right this ship in the next few weeks..

Actually, I'll give it a go: Bucs - we're winning. Or, the season is over. W. Bengals - they're problems run much deeper than ours. We could lose, of course - but I've got a W Broncos - W Jets - no, they're not sweeping us. At home. W. Eagles - I think we lose this, or the Chiefs. I don't think we lose both. L Chiefs - see above. W. Cowboys - at home, W. Chargers - west coast trip, L. Pats - same as Jets. W. Dolphins - playing for division if everything plays out as detailed above. Probably an L - but it will be close.

Was that really wind? It looked like he put some kind of crazy spin on it. I don't remember the ball moving that much even in the wind game against the Pats.

This is correct, but I've been so torn on it. I don't think he's a bad coach. I think he's average, and does some things really well. There is a lot of BAD coaching in the league. There is very little great coaching. I just don't know who we replace him with. I don't think you roll the dice on a hot OC or DC and hope for the best. More often than not, those hires don't work. So, it would have to be someone "proven." And who is that? Belichick if he gets fired, I suppose. But that's another D-minded guy. I'd hire Daboll if the Giants let him go.
