The silver lining!!!

If it wasn't for Anderson that score may have been reversed. Guy is good and clutch.

I think it's because the STs blew chunks this week and last week that I can handle the losses. A coaching change should help fix that. There were some cheap shots by the Jets that were not called, particularly on Hauska, that impacted the kicking game. Allen, though not perfect is improving. We're now seeing some holes on the defense that need to be addressed. Hopefully coaches as well as players are learning from these losses...plus we're improving our draft position.

We were eliminated last week unless the entire rest of the AFC were to lose every game.

I don't think it has anything to do with gender...and I speak as a member of the female contingent...but age may have something to do with some crews. The crew in the Bills game wasn't old. I think the more the league thinkers with the rules the worse it gets. They always screwed teams on holding...sometimes they'd call it, sometimes not...but PI, roughing the passer, personal fouls...are so subjective, it depends on which way the wind blows. And then you watch blatant missed calls, like the false start the Chargers got away with, and you wonder about simple competence.

Despite the mileage, he still has wheels.

I knew we were doomed when Boomer Esiason picked us to win. Kiss of death.

I meant football smart. Interestingly, I'm watching the SEC championship and Danielson mentioned that Tagliavoa throws well but he's not a game manager. I think that's the issue with Jackson. He doesn't manage the game...realizing that throwing it away to maintain field position is better than taking a sack.

I totally agree. He has a lot of skill and ability. He just isn't smart. He relies too much on his athleticism to get him out of trouble and ends up digging a bigger hole.

Next year's goal...beat Northern Illinois. It's the team they can't seem to beat.

You also have to put some of this on Jackson. He took really bad sacks instead of throwing the ball away. Impacted field position.

That was the big complaint about Schmidt. His hang time has been horrible.

I was expecting New England since their D has been so poor this year.

Laugh hysterically outloud take on the title! Thanks for that!

There's a difference between being incompetent and being an idiot.

Great assessment, Shaw! The stats don't give Allen enough credit for the game he played. When he ran in for that touchdown to take the lead, the first thought I had was how Mahomes on Monday night had a similar opportunity against the Rams...and slid at the 3 rather than diving for the end zone and trying to score.

Plus a number of those incompletions were to Thompson. It was clear he and Allen were not on the same page.

Thanks for pointing this out. Woods is doing a fabulous job!

That was absolutely hilarious. If you don't want to read the whole thing...just read the last paragraph...especially when he brings up the leaky pipe. I was in tears laughing so hard. We all feel his pain as hopeful fans who get disappointed year after year. The only thing we can do is laugh...despite the misery!

Well, if Russia ever tries to mess with the NFL, she'd be right on top of it.

I think with Lynn, we would have kept Tyrod. Presuming Gus Bradley was the D Coordinator under Lynn, we may have seen a similar result year one with the Bills. Chargers have had a ton of talent for years, but never had the right coaching combination. The offense put up a lot of points under Rivers, but they had to since their defense was so bad. There wasn't a lot to dismantle on that team. The Bills on the other hand never seem to have a cohesive plan on either side of the ball.

Based on his first two games as a Bill and the fact that the Bills had 7 WRs on their roster, I can't say I'm that surprised.

No surprise. Now he should find something he's good at and make a living at it.

No worries. In truth given this is a football forum, I would presume the odds are in favor of a predominantly male representation. You simply guessed wrong. ?

Actually...it's "sister". My Dad used to joke, "I have three sons, but my daughter's a captain in the Air Force."
