They have won two games THIS year...

Titans are going to have another embarrassing loss. That's just the story of the season. Your team is on top for a week or two, then you get embarrassed by a bottom feeder or mediocre team. Plus, they are a streaky team and always have been. They are playing well right now, but they'll have another low streak I bet.

Manning threw a ton of INT's his rookie year. I'm sure he had some in the red zone. I doubt either of them have that record. I know Mahomes had a long streak to start his career without a red zone INT, but he has had some of those by now.

Raiders shot themselves in the foot so many times. Pretty pathetic.

What scares you about the Saints?

It's a balance. Sometimes if you throw them to the wolves, they get eaten. Their confidence gets shaken, and they get injured. Bringing them along more slowly can help them develop. Obviously, you want to slowly increase their responsibilities. But giving them too much, too fast sets them up for failure and frustration.

Klein is a fine player, but we don't get to play the Jets every week.

I haven't watched the Pats for a bit, but last time I did I thought they were really calling games to help Mac Jones out. They have not asked him to do too much and are treating him like a rookie, which is smart. I don't get how teams can throw everything on the shoulders of some of these rookie QB's. Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson have been thrown into the fire and asked to operate as 5 year vets. And surprise! They have struggled. The down side to that is it really limits you offensively if the QB is not able to take full command of the offense. We'll see what happens. Belichick is a great coach. The Patriots have a good defense. The team is better than I thought they would be.

As long as the Bills take care of business, especially in the games where they face the Pats, they are nothing to worry about.

You know he hates those, right?

Wallace is having an excellent year. Taron Johnson too. If they can keep it up it bodes well for how far this defense can take us. Of course, we also haven't played very many too QB's.

He wasn't fired. But his case isn't base on being fired.

There are countless examples of playoff teams signing free agents late in the year out of need and going on deep playoff runs.

How are those plays even similar at all? In one there is a huge hole to cut back into. In the other there are two defenders sprinting towards Singletary in the cutback lane. Someone thought there was a hole there?

It's pretty hilarious that a lot of fans have just given up on the team, but everyone in the national media is giving the Bills a pass for a horrible loss. Everything is backwards. We used to have to get the national media to take our WINS seriously.

This is the most unpredictable season I can remember. So many upsets. It's crazy.

Tre White with a sweet pick 6.

The Lions are a trash organization. The fact that he has gotten that team to the playoffs is impressive enough to me. I'm not one of those "wins aren't a QB stat" kind of guys, but in this particular instance, I don't think Stafford has ever really had a shot to show what he can do until now.

Huh. I think Stafford is a really good QB. He is putting up MVP caliber numbers this year. Yes, he had a tough game, but that seems to be the story this year in the NFL.

The more I hear the talk about Daboll and the offensive coaches like Bobby Johnson being a big part of the problem, the more I think that is the likely culprit. We've seen all of these offensive linemen have good games. They have all shown promise besides maybe Ford. Williams was good last year. Feliciano has had good stretches. Morse was considered one of the top centers in the league before coming here, now he seems like he is average or maybe above average. We've seen good play from Dawkins. We've even seen Ike and Bates play well before. Brown, as a rookie, has flashed many times. They just don't play well as a unit. Maybe they don't communicate well enough. Maybe they aren't preparing well enough. While I agree that we do not have elite guys, they should be able to be a serviceable line. They shouldn't go entire games playing badly as an entire unit. The individual pieces, I think, are better than the sum. And we've seen some of our castoff linemen go to other teams and play well. That has to be coaching and preparation, right? Does the blocking scheme not align well with the players? They seem slow out of their stances sometimes. They aren't planning well this year in how to take away or help mitigate the big time players of opposing defenses, instead allowing those players to get one-on-one matchups and sometimes free rushes. So maybe a coaching or line scheme change is in order.

I hate Belichick way more than Brady.

It's bigger than it has ever been. And the Bills were pretty banged up by then. Beasley had a broken leg.

As long as he doesn't take targets away from Kupp. I need him to keep producing for my fantasy team.

Cam used to routinely take hits to the head, even while still in the pocket, and would not get flags. It was a real thing for a couple seasons back in the day. I do not like Cam, but that was a real issue for awhile and in my opinion it was a completely legitimate claim, at the time. I remember watching some games and being completely amazed that he was not getting flags. Defenders were completely teeing off on him. And I'm talking about passing plays, not him as a runner.

Exactly right. What more can we ask of him? A lot of that stuff just comes with the territory of being a starting QB, be he is dodging free rushers on almost every single play. It's ridiculous. And with defenders in his face actively hitting him, fans say "well, he should have hit that open receiver or checked it down" like it's a simple thing. I'm fine with asking him to do a lot, but you have to protect him, at least.
