The Bills are easily the better team, one of the best in football, they should win and it shouldn't be close. If they do drop the game it's not a big deal, those things happen . . . wait . . . what the heck? Is this feeling normal for fans of good teams? Let me try this again. If Denver pulls off an upset it doesn't mean this whole season is a dream. EEK! I just typed that and it sounds right.

In the scheme of things, aren't we all just random dudes from Ireland? I noticed Cian back when he thought Tyrod was a top ten QB. It took me years to figure out that both Tyrod and Cian are trash.

I think the ball is spotted at the point at which it crosses the boundary. His feet were in bounds but the ball crossed over the boundary before it passed the sticks.

Practically no injuries except to Phillips last year which affects our perception this year. Not so this year, plus we face a really tough schedule. So Bean goes from master of witchcraft to pretty good at card tricks. Oliver is an undersized DT who has been asked to shade center with a bum knee. I think he's performed admirably considering. I fully expect by game four of next year he will be considered the defense's Josh Allen. I also think Edmunds looked bad because not just because of injury but because of what the heck ever was wrong with the defense generally and here you can add Taron Johnson as a 4th rounder who flashed early in his career and seems to have recovered a bit lately. Phillips looked promising pre-injury and might just need a few dozen more leg days to get back to form. Late last week was the first time since Kromer that even my untrained eyes caught the line pulling heavies and pointing them downfield. It was awesome and it made our pair of third rounder RBs look like, well, pretty good lower second rounders. Yay. I'm not super optimistic about Ford, but if he becomes a starter at guard, I'm not sure it's worth complaining about (okay, DK would have been awesome.) At least some of the above excuses are totally legitimate explanations.

I think the Patriot way really means have a very smart head coach and have competent assistants. Apart from Ernie and Scarneccia, I doubt BB regards anyone else in the recent history of the organization as a peer. Maybe McDaniels is worth something given Bill's efforts to retain him but the rest are trained bicycle riding bears. Well, I think Flores does seem to be an another exception. I don't know if he's great but he pretty clearly isn't terrible.

I know it was mid game and they had to modify their plan, but the game with Tampa was seriously changed when Ekeler went down. His replacement wasn't really a replacement. So,with Ekeler back, I think they are a much better team. Aside from him, I think Herbert and Allen are going to put on a show. Can't count on dumb luck and coaching stupidity to keep the Chargers down forever. Also hoping Allen is better protected than he was against the Cards. I was really looking forward to seeing a healthy line last week.

Being top ten by every measure makes him much better than just top ten. The same as if your team has a top five offense and a top five defense it would probably be the best team in the league, not just a top five team. I'm not sure if I'm harder on Allen because I'm a fan or if I'm easy on him because I'm a fan, but I see him similarly. Also I think Herbert might be on my list of top QBs going forward.

Is she actually watching Bills games? Does she not understand her position as a nationally known media type? She's gonna ruin it for all her lazy box score skimming peers. Great stuff.

Romo annoyed me there because he just belabored the point and wasn't really looking for an answer to where the stat came from, just putting Nantz on the spot. But I too fail to recall the topic. It was something like momentum or streaks or something. Romo is hard not to vote for here because he clearly prepares by watching previous games and he really knows his stuff. But Archuleta and Feeley do too. And it seems like Archuleta has done enough Bills games that he probably doesn't have to hit game pass as much as any others. It is incredible to me that so many of the big name announcers clearly don't watch small market or less competitive teams and don't seem to even spend a few hours watching condensed games of the teams they are set to call.

I have been very impressed with the pass pro this year and it wasn't bad last year, but the run blocking has looked awful for years. I feel bad every time I think back to that oline under the chair chucking kiddie puncher. I miss that guy.

I didn't think he looked quite as good. Perhaps because he was settling for second or third choices/reads. But even with the drops he was over 60%, right? And while the drops were drops, can anyone imagine Kelvin Benjamin leaping for that Davis grab that got called back? Or the deep to Diggs last week or the endzone spinner Beasley had? We just saw a tiny dose of pass catching mediocrity and it looked like a splash of 2018. Allen has definitely improved this season and his touch passing seems to have come from out of the blue, but this seasons grabs make it pretty clear that the first season didn't have to be so statistically bad.

We give them our first they give us Williams and a second. We only drop one pick and I still have hope for QW.

I have read varying accounts that he was 6'1" or 6'2" in high school. He literally needed more time to grow.

Thank you. Long time listener. I'm honored. I have sought out your posts since the BBMB days.

That was a fun read, but I think there's a third possibility that the author has missed. Allen wasn't simply less accurate. If he were, then his passes would follow a sort of normal distribution, but his didn't seem to. Setting aside too-narrow windows and bad drops, his misses were often just wild pitches, far worse than simply a bad throw. Imagine a shooter who hits bullseye half the time and misses the paper a third of the time. If you can explain the instances where the shooter is missing the paper, then you have a coach-able situation. If it's just a shotgun type pattern then experience can improve the situation but only so much. Allen had thousands of fewer reps than the big names and I suspect that the wild pitch/panic and bail instinct along with basic mechanics under pressure is an earlier problem to sort out with both coaching and experience than tweaking the position of your elbow or whatever. The former issues are rarely (if ever) a problem seen in big program college prospects. I think that is why old scout types understood the promise he had because they have been involved with actual players and have a more intensive understanding than the extensive view of the stats guys. Incidentally, the "all the throws/runs" video on Jackson was similar. Dimes and wooden nickles. Jackson's field vision and placement were so often crazy good or completely off. (looks like buffalo junction beat me to this, but I'm invested now.)

It is available without dish in my area, perhaps his too. Their website has a "check availability" feature. see: https://nflst.directv.com/ I can only log into one device at a time, tablet, phone, laptop, roku, etc. So if you are using the account, then he cannot. If he is in a long term care facility, he might get around the dish requirement in the same way that apartment dwellers often do.
