Yes preach

Hollins has a knack for making at least one clutch play a game. I don't care if he's weird he's a smart and crafty player and has helped us in some big spots.

Apparently you don't want to do that and instead just cry

What I would say is relative to the coaches: There are levels. As bad as McDermott coached in this game one thing that has been impressed on me especially this year is how many bad coaches with bad brains there are. McDermott imo did panic and call the timeout. I think he thought that too much time would go off the clock after the piles of bodies on the failed sneak got up and got back into position. Overall it was the wrong decision for the reasons Tom Brady stated: the odds of getting an onsides kick essentially precluded the Bills from winning. I will also say it wasn't on the level of time mismanagment that teams like Bears routinely engage in. Andy Reid used to be criticized and called an idiot for how he managed the clock in Philadelphia. Turns out having Patrick Mahomes is the panacea and cured him of making practically any coaching mistakes. But the hyperbole of that moment of calling the timeout being like 13 seconds is foolishness to me. Honestly where McDermott deserves more criticism is for his Defensive game plan in general.

Cowherd has oscillated like a cheap fan on whether or not Allen is even a good player. Spare me any of his takes on Josh Allen. Those who say Josh is being wasted: He didn't get struck by lightning and became what he is. He had to be developed and he had to work really hard and overcome so many obstacles to get to where he is. You can't separate what he is now from what he was. Do we think if he were drafted by the Bears he would be in the exact same situation as he is now? No way! The same organization that is wasting him developed him but that gets forgotten by alot of Bills fans just like "wrong Josh" take on draft day gets forgotten.

I think McDermott has shown alot of resiliency and has continued to grow as a head coach. Something that is a huge positive is unlike some of the other coaches Terry has hired, McDermott isn't a grifter who is ambivalent towards or trying to harm the Bills. He is someone who has a vision and he is very loyal. He is responsible for setting the culture for the team. Right now the vibes and morale is great with the team maybe the best I've ever seen. McDermott gets the credit for keeping the team together and happy. We have no further to look than in our own division to see the dysfunction/rot and chaos other coaches have brought to bear. Heck on that note look at the Bears.

This game I dont have a good feeling about. Colts are talented team and have running ability while the Bills struggle against the run. DaQuon hasn't looked good.

This is getting way too pedantic but... *pushes up glasses* Actually in the original source of Principles of Chemical Philosophy of 1821 the author (Sir Humphrey Davy) describes the metal discovered and names it "aluminum" American English preserves this 1812 spelling and pronunciation of the word. All this for a throwaway joke because it's said differently in other areas but I don't follow the metric system or watch soccer because other countries are obsessed with them and neither am I going to even cede that aluminum is wrong when the entomology of the word suggests it was changed multiple times from the person who discovered it and wanted to make a cool Latin sounding word without knowing Latin. The oldest version and first use of the word is actually alumium.

It would definitely be that if Ken Dorsey was still here.

I wouldn't hate him as a backup for Josh. He needs to focus and reset. I agree with the previous post that had he said he had an injury nothing would be made of him taking a play off. He's not fit to be the leader of the team. Right now. Many 22 year old men aren't ready for the responsibility of the position that doesn't mean that they never will be or can't grow though so I would be hesistant if I were the Colts to completely move on and discard him.

I bet you worship the metric system too. Might as well start drinking tea and eating crumpets you anglophile.

And yet over here not one British person sent to jail for pronouncing aluminum Al Yoo Min Ee Um Truly the United States is the more tolerant country.

Well what I would say to you then is if Josh Allen is an actor he's won an Oscar when it comes to beating the absolute will out of the Miami Dolphins. His numbers and psychological dominion over that team humble all of the old heads that you think are real "football players."

FYI I cannot stop laughing at this. Maybe over there they say your bowel is acting like a "punt" instead of a "spazz" Who would have known Tom freakin Brady would inspire such a comedic thread?

That's true but the weird thing is the NFL has absolutely no need to do that outside of greed. I want the NFL to be accessible to the world but not be OF the world if that makes sense. The NBA sold its soul to get the Chinese market. You worry that the game would culturally devolve if it keeps making all of these commitments to other countries. Stylistically I think Germany is the European country that I think deserves more investment in if any because NFL Europe was completely carried by Germany and they developed a real appreciation/enthusiasm for the game. It has gotten better but the games in England appeared to be more novelties for the populace like an LA Rams or Chargers game.

Oh come on. He should have been aware not to call someone a nimrod because the descendant of Babylon object....

Fair enough. It's weird that it is so derogatory over there.

It doesn't have the same connotation over here so it's fine. Honestly again I hear people in the UK be free and loose when they say a very derogatory term towards women that would get someone in the US fired so our friends across the pond shouldn't throw rocks at glass houses.

I can't tell if you are being serious or not but in the UK a word that rhymes with 'punt' is thrown out like crazy over there but it is a no-no word over in the US.

Under fire from who? Honestly I've heard announcers reference Josh as Sugar-High Josh Allen but I don't think that offends diabetic people.

That's great! I'm glad Josh knows how to enjoy life and have fun. He's provided us Bills fans with alot of joy so it's only fair.

Honestly Bishop shouldn't see the field until he mentally is where Hamlin is at in regards to understanding the defense. I would certainly hope that Bishop has better instincts and physicality than Hamlin but the truth is Hamlin understands the defense better right now. It isn't madden where you just plug in a player with a higher number. Obviously Bishop was injured and is extremely young and projects well into being a starter but based on what I saw he has alot to learn too.

He does take bad angles and he has had some good plays. When he trusts what he sees and doesn't hesitate he can have a few good moments. I notice he typically does better in red zone situations. Honestly not every team can afford to be great or even good at all positions. He's a solid depth player and that he's still starting is an indictment of what they have at the position currently. Is Cole Bishop planning on doing anything? Mike Edwards?

I definitely agree too that if we were looking at last year he really did look very slow and in hindsight should have not played last year so I'm not surprised people were pretty low on him. I definitely was and didn't think he would recover from it. But as I said I was seeing some really good signs in Training Camp and I realized this guy isn't a Mario Williams type of grifter he's an elite athlete who seems to still be motivated. It will be interesting to see but I agree if we can get a Leonard Floyd type of year it's going to help the Bills alot!

I agree but would also say it is a mercy that he didn't hit Tua like Po hit Shakir or he may have put him in a coma.
