Frustrated HIGH SCHOOL English major?! How dare you. I'm a frustrated advanced degree holding English major, with the ridiculous debt to prove it. hahahahahakillme

So...in that order?

Exactly what a bot would say. Nice try.

Are you human?

Well then eff you and your lack of humor, too

The Yeldon point is mystifying to me as well. He doesn't play special teams, I get it. But neither do #20 or #26 as far as I can see. So why does his apparent effectiveness go unvalued by the coaches/management? (By all means, attack this point with data, please; I am going on naked gameday perception.)

At some point we need to consider that play-calling tendencies, in-game sequencing, might be to blame for some of the blown-up or walled-off runs. Some of those unsuccessful plays seem dead on arrival, which cannot be blamed on the running back. (Of course, there are also examples where the RBs don't hit it up in there.) Increasingly I'm seeing Daboll as a strong teacher and strategist, but a really inconsistent play-caller. He catches defenses off-guard at times, especially early in games. Tends to stall-out, though, as the game progresses and his counterparts can adjust to his usually brilliant gameplan. When something is working, he often goes to the well once too often. Economists call it diminishing returns, I think. Other times, like today's 2nd half, he seems to abandon important elements of his own offense. (Did the play-action and creativity diminish for a stretch leading up to that last TD drive? The QB draw, I recall, excited me because it wasn't just a traditional drop-back that I felt we'd been calling for a couple drives. Same thing happened last week when the offense was feeling the Seahawks blitz. They get stuck in a rut.)

Just sayin'.

Awful lot of BBFS on display here. I get it. But, then again, maybe I don't. (And I was ages 12-15 for the Super Bowl "run".) That was an amazing game. I can appreciate what I witnessed.

Awesome play. Really happy to see Allen hit Diggs with Peterson in coverage. While there are no moral victories, there are plays that build or reinforce chemistry and confidence. It was great to see the two main dawgs make a play to win it (temporarily, turns out).

Bills fans: don't be weak-willed whiners. That was an amazing game. Truly remarkable finish. Appreciate the experience, weirdos.

We're Bills fans, people! This loss feels just like...life. Have a beer and relax.

Active.

Blaming people for catching a highly contagious virus seems a bit...s#!!ty. Sure, if Norman didn't follow protocols, then he's a bit of a jerk for shorthanding his team like this (and for putting others at risk). But even those who do follow protocols get infected. So let's just stop judging players for getting sick and get back to hating them for getting HURT...

This is why I come here. You had a different handle on the BBMB, yes?

Chicken ***** playcalling by Tennessee, init?

Rivers loves trolling home fans. Not very Christian of him...

An efficient front-runner for a balanced offense. Athletic, careful, accurate. But definitely not special.

Nobody who watched Tannehill play the Bills while QBing Miami thinks he's actually good. He is a decent trigger-man for his current offense, obviously. But it's not HIM, exactly.

I'd argue that Rivers is effective within the scope of a given play. BUT, we've already seen tonight how running a wide zone or stretch running game is hampered by the weakside DE having ZERO containment responsibility, so he can just crash down inside all day long (Clowney happens to be gifted in this way). And we know that Rivers is a relic with his poor movement in general (see also: sack at end of 1st half). He's just limited, physically.

Exactly.

It's the annual McD two-week tumble. Happens every year. They learn from it. We hope.

Oh, and AJ Brown has been a hot mess this game.

Tenn doesn't have the defense to play offense the way they are. The better offenses won't let up. Henry won't likely score in bunches when they're down 10 points in the 4th quarter (I type as he continues to be productive).

You dropped some other low-hanging fruit in your post that moves this conversation into other fraught territory. I don't disagree that the compensation side of this seems out of whack.
