He (McCarthy) wouldn't be my first choice....but he's spent his entire career around elite QB's.
Yeah, he probably singlehandedly cost Aaron Rodgers three Super Bowls.
You want to see him attempt to double that jackassery with Allen?
Actually you probably do, you no-good, rotten, sneaky sonofabltch!

We have no idea if Hairston was going to start. Strong was a long shot,
They are both two of our Top 4 corners

You can argue all you want; everything I typed is 100% accurate, regardless of who you consider "starters".
6 minutes ago, Success said:The O was a little more intact. Kincaid & Palmer being out definitely hurt, but it shouldn't result in the # of punts we saw tonight.
I get what you're saying. But we're still lacking, even healthy.
Adding those two to the offense (along with Samuel) means more options and fewer mistakes; hopefully enough to overcome Brady's penchant for repeatedly outsmarting himself.

This is a good, pretty rational post & reminder.
But we haven't looked good basically all season. That Ravens upset was a huge high and it felt like we might roll after that - but it was also pretty flukey. We looked bad & outclassed most of that game. We didn't look all that good against Miami or NO either.
I'm absolutely willing to see how we look after the bye, and getting some guys back - and really, I don't have a choice on that. But my confidence was rattled tonight. I thought after that Pats game, we'd respond, even w/ the injuries.
At one point tonight I looked on the field and was pretty sure I could see Andreesen, Cam Lewis, Poyer and Javon Solomon all at the same time.
There is just no overcoming that level of attrition.
1 minute ago, Mike in Horseheads said:Well we did get a long ball out of Palmer tonight for once. Samuel is always hurt
I was amused it came on the first play of the game; as if Brady was trying to make some point.
And Samuel has been so nicked up, it's easy to forget he's even on the roster.

Your mini-stroke gave me a mini-heart attack
I was actually just typing faster than my brain.
The stroke was actually referring to you .

You mean Sanders, right? Please don’t tell Deone got hurt and I didn’t notice it.
Sorry for the mini-stroke; I edited it as soon as I re-read it

one thing that bothers me Simon is the undisciplined play showing up as penalties.
At one point tonight I was walking back into the the room and just involuntarily took a knee when I saw another flag.
Their lack of attention to detail is absolutely a problem for them right now.

Half of their Top 4 DTs
Half of their Top 4 WRs
Half of their Top 4 CBs
All of their starting LBs
Their #1 TE
Both of their top 2 draft picks
They are literally going to be adding 7-8 key players to this team over the next few weeks.
If they're still look like this by Thanksgiving, then there will be reason to start considering they're not for real.
Until then, a bye and a game with Carolina couldn't have come at a better time.

Jones wasnt even starting tonight - it was Walkerz even if Jones didnt hurt his calf.
Now you can call me a dick again- but youre just wrong again
Jones has been Oliver's partner for two+ years now and would have been right next to him again if he wasn't hurt.
Walker's been the primary undertackle coming off the bench and would have been there tonight if Jones was healthy.
Although if he keeps playing like he has been the last couple weeks, they're not going to be able to keep him off the field.

At some point, you have to be honest and say DT is a major issue right now. Maybe Oji helps, but this is a weak group behind wave 1.
Wave 1 is Oliver/Jones.
Walker is part of the group you're calling weak.

If I'm Pegula I tell McDermott TONIGHT that Babich is fired first thing in the morning and McDermott is taking over the defense and I MUST see improvement. If McDermott protests I tell him I'm making this decision for him so I dont have to make a decision on him right now. But that decision will depend on how much the defense improves and how far we go in the playoffs.
Perfect time to make the change going into the bye week. McD's last chance.
I don't care for Babich and think he's in over his head, but that patchwork mess that was out there tonight is not something that should serve as a final judgement.
When you have Andreesen, Poyer, Cam Lewis and Javon Solomon all out there on the field at the same time, it's hard to point at the DC and say "there's your problem".

I know first hand what Groot has been battling thru and hes finally turning the corner.
It's not a contain rush when you cant explode and can't feel comfortable with your knee.
And yeah,let's think this thru. All of a sudden Babich and McD decide to let Groot rush the passer these past 2 weeks (as you claim) OR Groot is finally healthy enough to do so.
Im not being a dick, Groot is finally close to 100% again. Its just that simple. Believe me or not, its the reality of situation.
This is not just about this year

Groots knee has been finally healing past 2 weeks. --- conincendence or this is contain rush?
I know what a contain rush looks like and that is what McDermott has been typically asking of Rousseau for a significant portion of his career.

I still can't believe they extended Bernard early. His 2023 was very good. But he regressed in 2024 and started showing a penchant for getting dinged up. This year is more of the same.
I wouldn't have tied up money for next year in Bernard and Rousseau until I saw what they brought us this year. It's so frustrating seeing the Defense performing as it is and knowing that we locked both of them in to those spots.
I'm fine with Rousseau; he's a perfect fit for what McDermott wants out of his Ends and when he's allowed more freedom (ala the last two weeks) he becomes much more impactful.
Bernard was valuable in my mind mostly because he is (or was) a turnover magnet. But he's lost a step over the last year and is now often late for plays that he used to be on time for.

Disagree - what is contain rush based on?
We've had obvious pass rush situations, 3rd and 6+, we aren't playing contain. We just aren't getting home.
Groot isnt a bend player, he plays with leverage and strength. Not sure what youre watching, but its not a contain rush. Its just that Groot isnt a pass rush demon - Bosa brings some of that juice, but we are so bad at CB2 and with our safeties, that our coverage and rush are never synced
He's loosened Groot up a little bit the last two weeks and it's clearly made him a more impactful player.
But that has not been the norm at all since he's been here.

Williams made some plays in the 2nd half, but he still showed inconsistency.
He did make about two plays, which is two above his average.

That doesn’t take away from the fact that two players were very highly rated and available when we picked and we passed. These are not hindsight picks.
There were a lot more than two highly rated and available players when we picked.
And cherry picking the ones you can find that are playing well right now is 100% the pointless hindsight game.

On the first play of the game, Thompson makes a great play to force a fumble by Bijan, recovered by the Bills, then wiped out by an Offside penalty that had nothing to do with the play.
Then late in the 4th quarter, Penix throws an ill-advised pass that hits Thompson in the hands for what looked to be a sure pick six.....and he drops it....ouch!!
In no way am I blaming him for the loss, but he sure has to be kicking himself right now.....had a chance to bail out a poor-performing Bills squad and be the hero, but it just didn't happen......
He's been the only LB worth two nickels on this team the entire year.
None of Bernard, Milano or certainly Williams would likely not have even gotten a hand on that ball.
Just now, Comebackkid said:Thats just the way the Buffalo Bills ball rolls right now. they need to figure out how to get their ju ju back
There's only one way.
Work harder.

Now Groot is comparable to Garret?
No, McDermott is comparable to McDermott.
He wants his defense how he wants his defense, and his Ends are going to play run first and contain rush second.

I said we are missing half of our Top 4 CBs.
I don't know why you keep wanting to argue about who should be starting at DT or CB or insisting that a healthy Samuel wouldn't be in the Top 4. 🤷♂️
