That idiot dropped the ball before entering the end zone. I noticed it live. What a moron.

That's a good thought, but I think everyone started dumping on him after the first few weeks, not before then.

Bills: 33 Dolphins: 20

Mario had a couple of really dominant years here.

I don't know where the narrative that Hamlin sucks has come from. He isn't an impact starter or anything, hut he is fine. He is like Levi Wallace. Replaceable, but not a liability, either.

That would be a big downgrade. Poyer has been terrible this year.

That's definitely not the case anymore. Words are violence now. Haven't you heard?

I applaud Brady for using the term. What bravery.

I didn't know that I was shocked and enraged by this until just now. How dare they mention a continent! Africa should never be mentioned. Oops. I just did it 😳

He took himself out on a 3rd down. Pretty baffling. I've never heard of a QB doing that before. It is odd that he even thought that was an option. How does that thought even enter his mind? Yeah, after they run three go routes in a row, or crash their body through an NFL defensive line a bunch of times or break a long run. It isn't the same. What he did was nowhere near as physically taxing as what skill position players do before rotating out. And they do it because the position demands running full speed all the time, which QB does not.

There does seem to be a lot more trading than normal, and for really low compensation.

Elam is not worth anything. Maybe a 2026 late round pick. His value could not be any lower. He is more valuable to the Bills than anyone because he is on his rookie deal. Next year, Douglas might walk and it will be Elam's chance to claim a starting role and show how much he has been able to develop. Or, he'll fail and just go down as a bust.

Obviously those two players aren't going anywhere. They are franchise players that you never part with.

Where would we be without buckets?

Nope. Those are counted as TFLs.

It was counted as a rushing attempt, so it counts as a tackle for loss. They don't know for sure it was going to be a pass play, so it counts as a QB run play. It is what it is, but it is by the book.

You didn't notice the 13 page thread about this on page 1?

I think most understood the Ertz joke.

If I could choose one player it would be Nick Bosa or TJ Watt. Make it happen, Beane. I know you can do it.

He'll be back on the practice squad probably.

Overrated. The Steelers always get the most out of their receivers. They never seem to be quite the same when they leave Pittsburgh. Amari Cooper is much, much better.

Take your pick. It was all the usual suspects who complain about everything the team does and doesn't do.

9 times out of 10, though, the more efficient QB is the one who produces more yards and TDs and contributes more to wins. Football games almost always push the QB to produce, so their efficiency numbers are going to be a good gauge most of the time. Is it perfect? No. That's why to truly understand how a QB played, you have to take a variety of metrics into account, and probably watch them with your own eyes as well.

That's why passer rating continues to be the only reliable QB metric. PFF drinks their own kool-aid and QBR is fundamentally flawed. Week 8 passer ratings: Josh Allen: 102.9 Geno Smith: 78.5

The hot team rarely stays the hot team for a full season. Last week it was the Ravens. Then they lost to the Browns. Now it is the Lions. We'll see if they still are in a couple of weeks. The season always has ebbs and flows like this. The trick is getting hot right as you are heading into the playoffs. That's where we want the Bills to be.
