He's certainly got some silk to work with, but Daboll is directly responsible for a sizeable chunk of points on the board this year. He's absolutely got a knack for drawing up particular route combinations that take advantage of opponents tendencies and and additional knack for calling them up at just the right down and distance where they're going to result in 6. That natural instinct is not an easy thing to replace.

I wish there was some kind of a comprehensive resource available to the general public in which you could research this kind of basic information in the same amount of time it took to type that sentence.

The Bills got absolutely stuffed on at least 4 short yardage situations where Moss typically would have been in the game but wasn't. Motor also took a holding penalty on a 3rd/goal where he shouldn't have even been on the field that likely cost the Bills 4 points. Not having Moss available hurt the team on multiple occasions.

There was a goal to go situation after Hyde's pick where Moss should have been on the field and instead the Bills went backwards and settled for a FG. There were several short yardage downs throughout the game where they tried Motor and he couldn't get the yards that Moss likely would have. I think McDermott went too far to make a point and made his team less effective in the process.

I don't know where to find those numbers but I was convinced last week that his snaps were not only going up, but that he was being used in key, late game situations way more than he ever had in his time here. I think he might be making a move up the depth chart, at least in the minds of his coaches.

That was wildly overreactive on McDermott's part and one of the few times I'll give him grief for an in-game decision. You want to make a point and sit him for a couple series? OK, fine. Use it as a teaching moment. But Moss has a unique skillset among our backs and is the only guy we have that can drop his pad level to get tough extra yards. Whether it's goal to go or short yardage downs, Moss has become an integral part of this team that does a job that nobody else can do. There were multiple instances throughout that game where we could have really used him out there and McDermott gluing him to the bench for virtually the entire game accomplished nothing more than to hurt the rest of the team.

Joe Haden took a shot in the head yesterday and is in concussion protocol. He is the Steelers best CB and there is no close second. If he's not back by Sunday it is a massive blow to the Stiller defense against every one of our offensive sets.

Arguably my favorite play of the game: 5:00 left with a 17 pt lead and a 1st down inside our own 20. Do we jam it up inside for no gain just to make SF cook off a timeout? No! With a 17 pt lead and 5:00 to play, Allen drops into the pocket on 1st down looking to attack a defense that is crowding the LOS. That was just a beautiful moment that underscored how far this team has come and how dangerous they may turn out to be.

Good grief, Tommy. By now, you must be on your 12th cuppa today ; - )

Just a note that is was actually Moss on that play. McDermott had finally got down from his high horse and put him back on the field for a snap, only to see him get blown up 3 yrds in the backfield by a DT that beat Boettger to the spot.

He may not have set the world on fire last night , but he was solid and reliable for the majority of this snaps. Seems a bit stiff getting to his spot on occasion but when he gets you locked up, you generally stay that way. At the very least, you can put him out there and assume he's not going to get blown up in a way that makes it impossible to sustain drives. The difference between he and Winters is glaring, as we saw when Mongo went out briefly last night.

I'll give some props to Doug Whaley for his parting gift. He wasn't doing good enough work to remain as GM of the Bills but he is the one who pushed the Pegulas into hiring McDermott. It was the only coach he truly got to pick during his tenure and it's turned out to be a very good choice.

I can't even remember the last time we had a staff that was both adaptable and effective. This is really great to watch.

They've done a great job the last two weeks utilizing both him and Klein. They've been really conscientious about covering their weaknesses and putting them into position to succeed, even gong out of there way to make real changes on the fly to do it. Good stuff from a coaching staff showing some real adaptability.

A couple minutes ago, Diggs was all up in Allen's ear on the sideline telling him they weren't done yet

You wouldn't even look his way all day. See what you were missing?

Holy schnikes. Has Mullens never run a sneak before?

too early on the shell, coach

It does. But his recent habit of running himself out of 1stdowns is getting a little agitating

That's about the 5th time he's looked like a complete ass out there tonight

Boettger got beat ugly That had nothing to do with the RB

Not for an entire game though. You want to sit him for a series or tow to make a point? OK. But his skillset is unique and too important to your offense to leave on the sideline all day because he made one rare mistake. If Moss isn't hurt, then McDermott is hurting his team.

They've got to get him off the field right now, even just to get Jackson some reps.

I don't believe that for a second. You're trying to win a football game and Moss is your guy in that situation.

There's no way in hell McDermott doesn't have Moss out there on that series if he's healthy. 😔
