It's weird how they've done so well with the offensive line but cannot figure out the D-Line at all. Couldn't they ask the O-Line "what traits are the hardest for you to defend against?" or review the tape and then go get the kinds of dudes that beat their line? I know I'm oversimplifying it, but it's just weird how they can't get the position locked down at all.

I've said this before during our losses and I think it bears repeating even though they pulled out an all time classic win Sunday: I think the coaches have a real hubris issue when it comes to gameplanning. They often come out with a very similar playstyle no matter who the opponent is, as if to say "We're the Bills, we don't care how you play, we are going to out-execute you". I think McDermott truly believes at the beginning of every game that they'll get home with 4 and that the soft zone will protect them from getting scored on with a high variance big play. This season it hasn't worked at all, which is why we see such drastic difference in the 1st and 2nd halves. They get punched in the mouth and McD realizes the vanilla play isn't gonna cut it, so they adjust and show more exotic stuff that they didn't think they would need until the playoffs. Don't get me twisted though, Brady has the same issue, he just has Allen (and Cook to a lesser degree) who can make something out of nothing at a rate unheard of in the NFL.

A bigger workload means a higher volume of fumbles, but I think he's well within an acceptable range of fumbles per number of touches. He's so electric that it's hard to worry about the fumbles.

Taron Johnson has had such an up and down career but this season it feels different. It's likely time to move on. I don't think there's any real answer on the roster though.

I really, really dislike Harrison Butker and the Chiefs so that doink is music to my ears.

Allen is the best player I’ve ever seen, and easily the most fun player to watch in the NFL. An insane individual effort to will a victory out. Shout out to Benford, Knox, and Epenesa. Shame on the third down defense. Crazy game.

I don’t even understand what the defense is trying to do at this point. Nothing makes sense contextually to the game. Allen almost snuck out a lead but the rest of the team hasn’t come to play, again, for the umpteenth time this season. not even mad, just baffled.

No draft is going to fix the fundamental issues with the McDermott defense. We haven’t had a good first half from this defense all season. How do they come into a game with such a bad plan every time?

It’s wild how much Allen makes up for poor playcalling and talent around him. That throw to Shakir is one of the best throws I’ve ever seen in football, period.

You can’t win every week coming out so pathetic on third downs for an entire half. The story is the same every week.

Edwards completely missed his block, otherwise that call is probably fine. they did drive Allen into the ground though. Surprised that’s not a penalty honestly.

This team is so bad at actually putting pressure on a WR it’s ridiculous. What’s the point of just giving them catches? There is nobody even close.

I got a couple cereal boxes and a signed Jim Kelly football. Does that count?

If he's keeping Dane Jackson off the field I'm fine with it.

Isn't this just following the exact same script as the Titans with Vrabel in the Tannehill era? Regular season darlings, winning games with above average QB play (nothing gaudy numbers wise but solid regardless) and a stout defense, squeaking out some wins they probably didn't have any business getting. Then they get bounced early in the playoffs. Vrabel's done that like 3-4 times already. I need to see more before I believe it's legitimate like the record says it is. Maye is probably a top 12 QB though. Probably somewhere near Herbert. Anyone who puts him above Allen, Mahomes, or Jackson is crazy though.

Facebook is where honesty goes to die.

I don't know how you fit him in the roster unless you just cut Samuel and call it a day. That being said I might rather have Samuel regardless. Loved Thielen but I don't know what he'd do for the Bills.

They certainly could. Allen has the ability to drag the team to a win any given Sunday. They probably won't though. There's too much volatility in the offense, Brady has trouble adapting the gameplan, and McDermott's defense struggles against excellent QBs more often than not. It's entirely within reason that they have a chance to win out, I just wouldn't expect it.

That was one of the best games of the year. Im not a Broncos believer however, everything looks so hard with them.

Brady did the same thing today as he's done pretty much every game. Hammer the same play over and over. I don't know how impressed we should be. The only thing I will give him is that the RBs were involved in the passing game. That's pretty much a must have moving forward as far as I'm concerned. This week it worked, next week who knows? That's the problem I have with Brady.

Same here. ~15 million a year for his production and injury history would be a perfect marriage of risk/reward.

If he's willing to sign a 2-year deal then I'd be all about it. I'd be concerned with anything longer than that though. I agree he's been Beane's best signing this off season.

The Steelers are like the definition of an average team and have been for the better part of a decade. Nothing about that stat surprises me.

They control their destiny. If they sweep the Jags there's basically no way they don't make it. I'm not so high on the Jags that I think they'll stay on a hot streak.

I'm sorry, but if a QB can hurt you so bad that you completely lose your cool then maybe you don't have any business playing DT, one of the most physically punishing positions in the game.
