Offense cannot function without John Brown. They had 2 weeks to prepare for this.

Why the hell is Tyler Kroft inactive? What the hell is going on?

Great... House of horrors.

Hail Murray hurts anew this hour. We might have needed that win.

Bills NEED to find a way to win against the Chargers and 49ers without Brown. I think Brown was super-key for hopes of an upset against Pittsburgh, so that's probably not happening now. Need to find a way to 9-4 before getting Brown back. From "day to day" to IR. So mind-numbingly frustrating coming out of the bye when you're hoping to be at full strength.

Everyone talks about Stefon Diggs, but John Brown is the player who frees up Diggs to perform. Without Brown, our offense struggles because we lose the favorable matchups. Losing Brown to injured reserve really throws this Buffalo season into questionable territory going forward. You saw what happened against the Titans and Chiefs without Brown. Will be interesting to see if the Bills can find a way to score points. Two key starters to IR this week coming out of the bye. Not what the Bills were expecting!

Rarely does anything come down to tiebreakers. The fan emphasis on conference/out-of-conference games is puzzling to me.

It is by far the worst MNF crew ever. I'll probably watch the 49ers and Patriots games on mute.

They just did. It's 3 weeks and 1 day between the Cardinals game and 49ers game. For the love of God, training staff, don't bring him back until he can be himself and not hobble after every tackle.

He has looked slightly overweight this year. Oh well. He has also been slower running.

What's up with the 1:15 start time? Just to make it special in some way? Don't understand why you start it 15 minutes later than all the other games.

The game was on NBC. The Thanksgiving nightcap has been that way for years

Burrow might never be the same.

Two short weeks in a row coming off Monday night at San Francisco. Don't love it.

Would love to see PIT lose to BAL, BUF, and IND or CLE. We win out (very realistic if we beat PIT) and get #2 seed and two home games. If not for Hail Murray, I think we'd be talking about this in earnest.

Still waiting for Nantz, Harlan appearances this year

Why on Earth do the Chargers care who we start at center? Is that going to affect their game plan? At this point, after McD's comments today, I hope people don't still try to argue that this isn't performance-related.

I'm not sure why you're getting so many negative reactions to this. Obviously the Jets will select a QB #1 overall, which obviously means that Darnold will be on his way out, likely to be a backup somewhere else. Is it too far-fetched that it might be Buffalo? I don't want Trubisky's toxic babyface anywhere near my sideline.

Heart beating like a Bills game late in that one.

I think it's cute how people in Buffalo think their wings are better than other places at this point. Similarly, if beef on weck were as great as people make it out to be, it would be much more widespread.

Lying here puts him in a tougher situation, so it makes no sense. Thad Brown agrees

I didn't put words in his mouth. Everything except for the last sentence in the OP was was straight from McDermott's mouth. Here, you're cherry picking the things that fit your narrative. This is literally all fact: Per McD, Morse was healthy and ready to go but his not playing was a "football decision," not a health issue. When asked, McD did not commit to Morse as the starter going forward. Said they felt the current group had "momentum" and that's why Morse didn't play. Regurgitating previous points here... obviously this would not happen if we were talking about Diggs, White, Allen, etc. (other premier players on the team). The fact that McDermott was asked about Morse 3x and given three opportunities to clarify and blame it on the concussion and didn't tells you everything you need to know. The reporters thought it was news. I think it's news. If you don't think it's news, you're in denial. When anyone is underperforming on this team, McDermott still says they're a good player. He always softens the blow. He'd never say someone was "benched." He wouldn't say we'll evaluate the lineup week to week when referring to Diggs or White, and he wouldn't give their replacements another week if they were healthy... That's enough for me on this one. I have a labor-intensive dinner to prepare.

Lions, Jaguars

I don't believe your take is valid. I believe my take is the only reasonable conclusion to draw from the press conference. The fact that a) Mitch is healthy and b) he didn't start because he might not be a part of the best combination of line players is inarguably concerning if you think Morse is a key player on this team. Clearly the reporters "on the scene" agreed that it was a news-making situation. McDermott doesn't like the term "benched" and would probably say "No" if asked if Harrison Phillips was benched, if we're being honest.
