The Bills suggested that rule change a few years ago when Daboll and Frasier were getting a lot of interest. They felt that the coordinators still coaching in the playoffs did not get a fair interview process because teams felt the need to hire as fast as possible. Yeah, and all the playoff teams are dealing with the same thing.

The Bills have 12 on their injury report. Many of them were full practice participants, but all of their injuries are legit from previous weeks. The Ravens seem really healthy outside of Zay Flowers. The Bills are healthy too, but they seem a little more banged up with players playing through injuries.

Teams make desperate hires all the time, though.

It is crazy the Ravens have only two players on their injury report, one of which practiced fully all week.

If you have a problem with it, it is the NFL you have a beef with. Not Brady. I think teams should be forced to wait until the end of the season to start their hiring processes, but that's not the rule right now.

Bills: 19 Ravens: 13 Defenses come to play. Bass kicks a bunch of field goals.

Milano. He acts as a spy and gets some tackles for loss, and also gets pressure on Jackson.

You'd think that, but...

He was excellent during the regular season, not just average. It was reported that he added the most EPA for coaching decisions of any coach in the NFL. Something like that. I don't remember the exact metric. But he was the BEST coach in the league at decision making. And he is usually among the league leaders.

Did he say he wasn't?

They both laugh about that now. It was a different time. I don't hold it against him. He was a dumb kid.

In what way did he cheat?

Trash brother? Why is Jim Harbaugh trash?

I'll be honest, I don't care at all what is happening in the Chiefs game. I'm pretty focused on the Ravens. This is a tough matchup.

Bull crap. Everyone was behind the Dorsey move. And the Bills won a majority of their games with Dorsey. The offense has not been a problem in the playoffs. And those are not in-game blunders.

It has been part of the culture that Sean McDermott has established. That they need to love each other and have each other's backs. I think it is cool, personally.

Really? I highly doubt that you know what the coaching strategy was or have the technical knowledge to actually evaluate the scheme. When things go bad, fans say stuff like this, but most don't actually know what they are talking about. The special teams coordinator is the first culprit, especially since nobody seemed to be on the same page. But yeah, the buck stops with the head coach. He has to take some blame for trusting his coordinators and players.

They don't want to leave time for the other team in case they have to punt it. You want to get points, but you certainly don't want the other team to get points.

Then pull the quotes, please. I'd like to see them.

Well sure. The buck stops with the head coach. But the claim was playoff blunders happening all the time, specifically that things McDermott does in games and not the players. That's what most teams do.

So, there isn't a coaching blunder. Just poor play by the defense. The players have to share in that, along with injuries. And they absolutely do adjust and try different things like blitzing. So, that isn't true. The defense needed to be better in playoff elimination games. But that is not the same as what you claimed, the McDermott himself makes in-game blunders all the time in the playoffs. That's not true.

Really? Other than 13 seconds, what have his playoff blunders been?

The haters are never on board. They are just quiet sometimes.

And Shakir and Rapp left injured. Shakir came back later, but was hobbled.

A practice squad player is more likely. But you're right. They did use McKenzie in that role before, and he was a rostered player.
