Success

People made such a big deal out of Coleman's play. He's a rookie - that kind of communication can take time. That was more of a classic rookie mistake, and I read nothing into it.

Drops, more pressure, guys not getting open - I really don't put too much of this on Josh. I wouldn't even call it a bad game for him. He ran really well too. The few angles I've seen of the whole field on some plays, it's stunning how covered our receivers are. We don't have guys who are great at separation - but Brady can scheme some of that, and hasn't seemed to crack the code on that one.

One thing I'm super-grateful for tonight - when Josh was down on the ground there, and they showed the replay, it was easy to think the worst. When he came running out & putting his helmet back on, it was such a huge sigh of relief. The season is still on.

I'm Knicks first, but when they were bad, I started following the Suns w/ Steve Nash, and loved some of those teams. I was pretty into them for quite a few years there. As soon as Nash moved on, I lost interest. I'm a 'Cuse grad, and don't follow the football or hoops teams much anymore. We never got too into the football regardless, but for a pretty good stretch I knew all of the players on the hoops team and watched avidly.

I was disappointed in the playcalling today. We passed on 1st down a few times in the 1st quarter - but after that, it was all north/south kinds of runs. It was very predictable, and put us in 2nd & 3rd and long all day.

Can it be Bishop and Rapp when Rapp is healthy again? I'm clueless as to whether FS can move to SS and vice versa...

The Ravens look like the team to beat this year. I think we can beat them, but I'd favor them against us & in every game. They seem to have figured it out.

It's that last series. It shocked me. I really didn't get it.

I was thinking about that. It's true about 3rd down - but overall, if Bishop doesn't play like a rookie on that long TD, they really held it down points-wise.

Maybe this will get some weird reactions - but he's as good as Milano. He was all over the field today, and looked like a leader out there. He was key to that stop on 4th & inches, and it looked like he baited Stroud into the pick he got. And that's all after coming back from a tough injury. I remember we all thought that was a luxury kind of pick, and a reach. He has really panned out.

Carter & Bernard. Man, were they both great. Oh - didn't realize this is a "worst" post.

I just heard all of McDermott's comments. I still think that last series was a disaster - but at least I understand where he was coming from. I don't know; at least it wasn't throwing darts at a wall? I'm trying here.

My favorite Bills year by a mile was the one where we got on a tear after the "Hail Murray." We literally won every game until the AFCCG.

It's easy to lose perspective after games like this - especially the way we lost. But we're still one of the better teams in the league, with one of the best QB's. It's all about January - and hopefully February.

Just gotta keep plugging away - and maybe one of these years we'll be the most healthy team in the playoffs, or get the big kick, or have another team self-destruct. I just want one. Allen will get us there.

They playcalling on the last drive was some of the worst strategy I've ever seen, and cost us a chance. But, I think we have (for the most part) lost sight of how gutty the comeback was. Felt like that game was over - but we really fought back and made a game of it, and probably should have won or at least had a chance to.

This is what I saw on the few plays they showed a broader view. Guys are totally covered. JA isn't gun shy - he'll pass it if there's a chance. Guys are simply not getting open. We need a star receiver. Without that, DC's can plan their defenses with very standard coverages and succeed. They don't have to focus on anything.

But it might be an average league. The Ravens & Vikes look like top dogs, but I'm not that impressed w/ anyone else.

Belichick made mistakes in his career - but they were infrequent. He's better than anyone, and it's really not close w/ McDermott. I honestly don't think there is a coach from the past decade or so who passes 3x in that last series like we did.

Man, it would have been such a huge comeback win - potential to be season-defining. Now we're 3-2. Probably still win the division, but doubtful that we'll be in the mix for a top seed. How do you pass 3 times from the endzone w/ such little time left? How do you do that? I can't get over it.

I'll have to watch it. I mean, why did not know it wasn't smart at the time? It wasn't even close to a "hindsight" thing. It is BASIC COACHING. I don't think even a high school coach would have passed there. I'm really dismayed. And I've been a McD supporter in general, but he totally blew that, and really let down a bunch of guys who had worked so hard to get that game tied.

Maybe some good will come out of this one. Maybe Beane makes a move. And I'm tired of being the early season champs, anyway. Would rather see us get hot in the 2nd half of the season - and hope we have the kind of team that can. I still have some faith.

When I saw Allen lining up in the shotgun on that last series, I was really mystified - I figured they were trying to fool them, but obviously they'd still run it. I hope he gets asked about that series all week. He needs to explain that.

There were drops all over the place, no one was getting open, he had little to no protection, and Brady KEPT CALLING RUNS ON FIRST DOWN, leaving us w/ a lot of 2nd & 3rd and long. This thread is a complete overreaction.

100% agree. Kincaid had 2 bad drops, imo. Guys weren't getting open. Allen was obviously not great, but I didn't see him as the problem today.
