I agree 5-3 one game off. .... honestly have a good vibe with Cinci next week in a grudge match. Bills will be motivated.

I am going to take issue w Marino. First , I caught the podcast and for an All 22 review it was missing more constructive breakdowns and specific critique. On Allen: he did play lousy at times, but literally brilliant in other times. Marino tipped his hat that way, but I think putting the loss on JA was silly. 22 second half points while sputtering on a couple drives terribly ( cough Knox drop) was impressive. A near game winning drive in the final few minutes leaving under 2 minutes to play , w/ one of the worst offenses in the NFL needing to score a TD to win was woeful....dog poo stuff by this D. I really wanted more All 22 breakdowns on what went wrong. Especially on that crap big gain on the last Pats drive, etc .. His 22 breakdowns are not great. Half ass even. I know Marino is forced to condense but should be more than about snap counts.

What worries me most is the DTs.

This makes it even worse. Not only does Knox blow clutch catches and make waay too much money, now he's injured. Beane royally ( not to be confused w Robert Royal) screwed this contract up. No viable out till 2025 20 million in dead cap even next year for a guy not over 50 catches. Makes me miss Robert Royal.

Some fantastic opinions today. Some of the worst takes in the history of this board.

Big Ed has been a force this year, but I don't know if he helps anything yesterday. He's undersized and apt to get knocked back in run support . See Bungles game. Without Jones next to him he hasn't been the same.

Sherfield is a huge bust . Poona Ford a collosal disappointment.

Couldn't stick this in post game?

No replay?

Poona Ford being a dud is a real killer. We need a run stuffer. DL getting blown off ball by one of the worst OLs in league.

We don't match up well w Pats. We are gloriously undersized and soft up the middle. Could be a long day if offense can't match.

2nd worse int I've seen him throw. Worst was the red zone one v Jets last year.

I think Bill should wind down his career at like a service academy or storied IAA program like the Ivy Leagues. I think his brand of foot ball just won't win at the pro level these days. Army completely sucks these days would be a nice fit.

Wait don't we have Specific vet PS slots? Only for vets? Edit: we get up to 6 vets. Honestly, think of what a guy like beeze could teach Isabella or other WRs.

Bills win easy and O gets on track. D reaps sacks and turnovers. Pats continue to struggle.

I think we should pick him up

I agree Daboll had some of the same issues. I will say that Daboll's final 5-6 games leading up to and including :13 sec were some very balanced and effective OC work. Really a fine hour for him. In general I prefer Daboll. He had more willingness to use speed to test the outside the tackles and was not averse to the occasional trickeration or misdirection.

I have a good feeling about Johnson. I don't expect anyone will believe in him or trust him until he does it consistently though. I'm sure the doubt is justified based on that so I totally get this. Fournette has done it before, so he's a name folks know.

He was taking speed rushes outside and getting taken out of the play almost every time. His inside move was not there. He generated some pressure a couple times. I thought he may have been a liability out there with all our talent at DE.

What didn't help us is his shotgun runs started to work in the 4th quarter. Thought the play calling was too easy to defend. Drop backs for high risk throws , poorly executed runs up the middle. Phins just gashed them outside, why we didn't exploit this or at least explore it was so stubborn. Dorsey wants to win one way, and he cares too much about style points.

Let's not forget he also had a critical drop in OT of Jets game. He has been terrible this season as a pass catcher.

Thought Knox drop was bumble of the game. He just constantly blows clutch plays.

We had a few short fields for punts

He is so quick to ditch the pocket. Panics.

They talked about that yesterday on OBL Chris and Steve were basically Homers....said they understood the call ..did not compute. The threshold for that play , the standard for possession was clearly not met. Consistently you have to have that in the hands or bread basket a significant time longer to imply possession. That or the "football move" a clear overt act, a roll over, a juke , a tuck away. None of this was met. Not even close. The ball did not even stop or settle on his hands. The ball was instantly knocked and stripped....it did not meet the norm and standard for that play. This is why even the apologist TV ref was like "that's a new one for me". BTW, the ground can't cause a fumble but it sure as heck can cause an incompletion. It was a terrible, terrible call, and Steve/ Brownie being so ho hum about that call was frustrating.
