Considering some of those throws he was uncorking, several with wide open arm angles, his elbow was not a problem yesterday.

I think the design is to hit the trailing McKenzie once Davis has cleared the zone. The Vikes misplayed it though and it ended up with Gabe unexpectedly coming free. Allen saw it and almost took it but then double-clutched when he decided to stick with the original intent. That delay made him a split second late into heavier traffic than was to be expected with the design. Edit: I'm referring to the 4th/2 in regulation. I have no intention of rewatching that last play that ended with me face down on my living room carpet.

Morse and Bates sealed the exact gap they were supposed to; Morse was even heading to the second level until he saw the 'backer heading for the wrong gap. Saffold's brainfart at the snap forced the back out of the designed zero hole that was going to be an easy first down and probably a TD.

If it was 6 seconds, I think they'd have taken a shot to Davis or Knox in the back corner. I think the Vikes had one left. We had two and would have likely still had at least one of them.

Wtaf is Saffold doing?

I'd wait as long as you possibly can to get as much updated info as is available, then make the final call. Lake effect is notoriously unpredictable and making a decision nearly a full week out is akin to throwing darts with a blindfold.

When do you have to decide by?

If Allen hadn’t fumbled, it’s likely a safety instead of a touchdown? Morse got blown off the ball? You can't kneel from the 1? Your imagination is a sight to behold sometimes.

If Dorsey/Allen don't get greedy on 2nd down on the final play and instead pick up 7-8 yrds on the next two plays, does McDermott eschew the tie and go for it on 4th and 2 again with 1:00 left in OT?

He said "sport", not soccer.

They had more than enough time to run teh ball 4 straight plays and he waited until they were first and goal. He did it exactly right and didn't waste a single second.

Right now they're a bunch of babes in the woods out there running around. They desperately need some of that veteran leadership back on the field.

He has no business being out there in an NFL defensive backfield. I know he's become an excellent ST's player and that the DB room is decimated by injuries, but he has yet to show anything he belongs out there with that defense.

He ate a ton of doubles and spent most of the day in the offensive backfield. There were a couple plays where he got buried by the Center while he was engaged with the Guard, but nobody could deal with him straight up.

Ask not and ye shall receive

Is this wind out of control there yet?

I hope you checked the font size first......

Life's short; why destroy perfectly good insulation....

It's a loose interpretation of the word, but we'll let it stand.

In case anybody wants to watch it for some potentially entertaining weather.

I'd insist on having the ball first as the underdog then kick that sumbitch right in the jimmy, drop in the layup and run for my truck with a 1-0 win.

For decades the only Bills clothing I'd owned was a sleeveless athletic shirt with a smalls Bills logo on it. I hardly ever wear it but I was hot after a pregame hike and threw it on when I got home at the beginning of the game last Sunday. It will not see daylight again this year. My wife did get me a plain white tshirt with Josh Allen's potato logo on it about a month ago so now I have that. I haven't had the stones to wear it during a game yet.

He continues to look just fine in limited snaps, deep on a talent-rich DLine. And nobody gives a freak about arbitrary sack stats on what is by far the #1 scoring defense in the entire league and arguably the best defensive front in the NFL. You're constant need to find nonsense to continually complain about is starting to annoy a lot of people in this forum. I'm all for diversity of opinion but when multiple people are complaining about a singe poster then it's bordering on crusading, which makes it a "you" problem and a good time to reevaluate why people gather here and where you fit in. If you think this is a road you want to continue travelling, first you should ask yourself why you see regular long term disappearances from the likes of Scott Law, Billz4ever, IronMaidenBills, etc. and decide whether you want to walk that long, lonely lane right behind them.

This is a ginormous bucket of horsespit.

I agree with this, but it is also a situation with which we have minimal experience. There's no real answers to be had but it is a rare data point to add to the equation. I will say that if they walk on to that field without Allen but also missing Groot, Milano, Poyer, Tre White, Spencer Brown and Kaiir Elam, then it becomes meaningless in terms of evaluating the GM.
