Hot take: Everyone says McD has been "more aggressive" when, in reality, he was blitzing at a MUCH higher rate earlier in the year, to mixed results (looking at Pats game and Denver game in particular). I think moreso, McD has had a much better feel for when to simulate pressure and when to actually bring it, and what we are seeing is a lower true blitz rate, but a much better defensive result overall. And that's been pretty consistent since the bye.

I’m not sure the data bears that out. What we do know is this team almost never has games like Dallas did yesterday. Do you know what team has the least amount of double digit losses?

Watch more teams, that’s everybody. Including the SB winners.

Josh Allen on the 2016 Falcons also would break records. Matt Ryan still won MVP.

We are 3-1 since firing your guy Kenny. 5–5 with Kenny. I know you were a big Rex Ryan guy, so these last few years have been tough for you to see the Bills waltzing into the playoffs year after year. It’s gonna be even more painful when we win the division and McD takes Mike McDaniel’s lunch money week 18, but try to enjoy the ride.

CMC could steal votes for sure. I think there's something to be said about "if you have two MVP candidates, you don't have one" but at this point, Purdy is the most consistent QB in the NFL with the best numbers and a great team with a great record. And as good Shanny is offensively, they still gave that MVP to Matt Ryan who had Shanny and a boat load of offensive talent as well.

A very uniquely Bills thing to do. I wonder if the Vikings fans are like "Danielle Hunter reminds me of Carl Eller, who famously also lost a lot of Super Bowls!"

football is a very simple game. Their strength on defense is pass rush. They were gonna pin their ears back all night and go all out to get to Josh. So let's have Dawkins and Brown run full speed and blast their best pass rushers over and over and over until they don't wanna play no more.

Purdy would have falter tremendously to lose out on MVP at this point.

Seeing as we have 6 losses, that sounds like 3-3 to me.

3-1.

He agreed with them up to the point that he didn’t and fired the guy making them lmao

Man, this dinosaur just doesn’t get it. Trying to run the ball down a teams’ throat, sustaining long drives and keeping our defense fresh to attack an off-balance offense? This is crazy. We need to run an offense like Dallas and throw almost every play, like genius offensive HC’s like McCarthy do. This is why defensive coaches will never win anything. Stuck in the stone ages.

Spencer Brown easily had his best game as a pro.

I think the bye really helped even out the workload for him.

why

All this tells me is that the defensive coordinators bracketing Hunter Renfrow are insane.

Shanny better be on the hot seat then, because at best, he’s been Cal Naughton Jr so far.

Well that’s the kind of counterpoint deserving when you have as blistering of a take as “the coach that choked the third largest playoff comeback ever in his solitary playoff appearance with a franchise QB AND is the worst close game coach in the NFL is the same as our coach because they both didn’t win a Super Bowl”

I always say that Demeco Ryans, Kyle Shanahan, Sean McDermott and Brandon Staley are all basically the same coaches because they’ve never won a ring as an HC.

Why is he not designated to return then? Ostensibly-speaking?

I think he's actually gotten worse, another strike for Staley and the gang. He was overrated for the longest time imo.

Why is Kaiir a full participant in practice this week?

The GM can’t hire good coaches. 11 years of Rivers/Herbert and 1 playoff win lol.

Milano, Dawkins….
