Yeah, well if Josh Allen hadn't had those incompletions, he'd have had a perfect day! If the Steelers defense just wouldn't have given up those 17 points, they'd have had a better day than the Bills defense!

I've never understood this. The TV networks don't make money if people aren't watching. Why wouldn't you do a simulcast on NBC or another network, where fans can see your product (and the commercials, which pays for all of this) Out of curiosity... Is Sky Sports a "network" or "basic cable" channel in the UK, where pretty much everybody with cable service gets it? Or is it a special "subscription" only channel. It'd be strange if any old Brit in the UK (where, let's face it, American Football isn't as popular) gets the game, but not here in the States.

Dan Le Batard. Enough said. I'm surprised he's actually talking about sports. I used to get in my car and go to lunch, and my SiriusXM would be on ESPN radio, and I would listen to that joke of a show for 30 minutes and not once hear them actually talk about sports.

I don't know. I'm not a big fan of resting the starters, particularly on offense. Defense... maybe. I just feel with the issues this offense has had, they need every bit of preparation/reps to get them ready for the postseason.

He was so bad. I live in Charlotte... it was ugly around here.

Could you imagine beating the Chiefs and Mahomes in the playoffs? What do you think the "we shoulda drafted Mahomes" crowd on the board would do?!?

I was more pissed off with the officials when Dupree jumped offside 5 seconds early, had a straight shot at Josh Allen, and the officials didn't blow the play dead. They just let him have a free, unblocked shot at our quarterback. If I was the Bills organization, I would certainly be asking the question about what the eff happened there. In a league that is so worried about protecting the quarterback, how do they let that happen?!?!?!?!?

This... I'll let the guys that get paid millions to decide who is the better, more talented player decide who should play.

Agreed. While sacks are important, I feel like that can be a bit of an overrated stat. Disruption and pressure are key.

Good. Why should he be selected to Pro Bowl? He hasn't played well, and fans (outside of bandwagon Cheats* fans) can't stand him.

The TV networks not showing replays of penalties is getting super annoying. Do you think they're trying to "protect" the NFL and its officials?

I mean he held onto it.... but Watt didn't actually punch the ball, so......

Ben, yes. Eli's career record is literally .500. His record is 117-117. Rivers' career record is 123-99. The one thing he doesn't have that the other two do is a super bowl.

Committed two penalties on that play but you have to love the kid's motor and drive!

I think it's more funny that you don't think Lynn has had way more to work with. Lets see here. Last year, Sean McDermott took a team whose starting QB was the most raw rookie quarterback in the draft (and possibly one of the most raw 1st rd quarterbacks of the last decade) with a top receiver who was an undrafted rookie, with a starting offensive line on which (aside from Dion Dawkins) not ONE of them is a starting-quality player to a 6-10 record. Anthony Lynn has, this year, in what (or at least I've been told this, because it's the "reason" the Bills have won 10 games this year) is a much softer AFC, taken a team that has Phillip Rivers (a first-ballot hall of famer) throwing to Keenan Allen, handing it off to Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler, and STUDS on the D-line in Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram, to a (currently) 5-9 record. If you are going to seriously sit here and tell me that Sean McDermott hasn't achieved more with less, then you are not even being realistic, you just don't like McDermott. And that's OK if you don't. Just come out and say it, don't dance around it. Because it's pretty obvious you have a bias and an agenda because no reasonable person would look at the talent on these two teams over the last three years and come to the conclusion that you seem to have come to. And FYI, the "we didn't draft Mahomes" horse was beaten dead the better part of two years ago.

I've thought of this a couple times. What if we had hired someone better, but just mediocre and missed out on the chance to get what we got? I guess the ol' cliche saying goes... everything happens for a reason.

The point is, that McDermott AS A COACH has done more with less.

So they essentially have identical records. One coach had Tyrod Taylor one year, and the most “raw”rookie available, and while progressing, is definitely still a young QB learning on the job. The other coach has had Phillip Rivers.

Agreed. If they hadn't said his name, and I only heard his voice, he is the absolute LAST guy that I would have thought of! Could you imagine Dick Jauron going for it on that 4th and 6 at around the 35 yard line on our first TD drive? McDermott is, if you step back and look at it, a LOT more aggressive than people give him credit for.

?‍♂️

Had John Brown ever thrown one before he did to Singletary in Dallas?

Let's go. I think we win this game. I'm not in the least worried about going up there and winning. I stated in another thread... Even if we don't get the division this year, you at the very least can knock the Pats* out of a first-round bye AND you don't allow them to rest their starters against Miami.

He was outstanding last night!

TEN AND A HALF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
