Bob in STL

You sure covered every possible reason that he is not perfect. The point differential argument is not relevant. They made it based on well established playoff guidelines and deserve credit. $50M for Star was too much, but we have missed him this year for sure. He is a player that does not make the stat sheet but makes everyone else better. Metcalf - 8 wr’s were drafted ahead of Metcalf. All the GMs missed on him, even the guy who drafted him waited until his 3rd selection ( his 2nd pick in R2j. I have not seen seen a reason to love Ford either but will give him time. Wood/Glenn/Incognito were all good but the right side was not and the depth was 0. Glenn could not stay healthy and was known to be lazy. Ritchie is his own story and he was mentally breaking down (Jags playoff game). Wood was unfortunate with his injury. They kept him for his play and leadership. Not a bad move but it backfired. I don’t think they have reached their peak at all. Most all of the drafted players have more upside. We are still in good shape relative to cap with many easy to shed contracts if necessary. Beane has done a fine job, not perfect, but he sits at the helm of a team on the rise and deserves the contract.

Pats* dodge a bullet on the flag pick up.

We Bills fans prefer to fly under they radar but who they all pick matters not. We need another strong game from Allen and we need the defense to continue to improve as they have been.

Anything can happen .... I trust Beane and McD too make the best decisions for the team ... and not to make them until they have to.

How about NO! Don’t mess with McBeane’s locker room

Damm. Josh was in a zone, standing up front and listening to Kyle and understanding the depth of every word. Most importantly, taking it and putting it into action. I’m betting he learned how to learn on that farm as a kid.

Let’s play the next 4 games and see. Take them one at a time.

No more Brady wins ever would be my preference. I hope he comes back next year and goes 0-16.

Lee Smith. You can only hope to contain him. Daboll might try that one again and make TE the primary.

Silly story. The kid is young and still developing as a person. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.

... “Oh no, the Jets moved ahead of us, we like Baker better, we drafted the wrong Josh, we should have traded back and took Lamar” ... Where are they now?

Exactly. The Steelers will not think about Washington on Sunday night.

Dear Bills fans, want a reasonable assessment of Allen? Listen to Romo and Kubiak, and just about any ex QB instead of the clowns being talked about in this thread. Heck Terry Bradshaw is no Allen fan, he just stops talking when Allen is playing well so that is a good thing for everyone.

You were irate. That’s funny. Look at the replay, Allen waited too long, then misfired behind him. Probably the only mistake Allen made all day.

Don’t know where people get these ideas? The Steelers will prepare the same way at 11-1 as they would at 12-0. It’s not their fault the schedule turned out easy. They are good but until the season plays out we don’t know how good. Once the game starts all the media hype fades away. I was picking the Bills to win and that isn’t changing just because the Steelers are “mad at losing”.

Not buying it. It is common today for OCs and DCs on good teams to move on. Josh should be able to adapt to a new system. Josh gets off season coaching separate from Daboll and he has been able to fine tune his game. He knows how to learn and works hard at his craft. Now a new OC could be less creative or less capable but all teams face this. All this talk of Daboll leaving is still only speculation. Sure, he probably wants to be a HC but he knows he is in a good place and may want to stay.

Allen, Beasley, Edmunds

? that is a stout team. We had a nice goal line stance and held them off the board right after we failed to score. Critical stance that helped us set the tone.

The Glenlivit 18 year old batch reserve. Nice reward for after a win.

I think this was one of best overall games we played this season. We beat a strong and very physical team on the road. We overcame a bad turnover and kept to a very good game plan. Would have liked to have kept them off the board on their last drive but so much good happened in all phases of the game. Bring on the Stillers.

I am nervous about tonight. Which is normal for me. It took awhile for me to get used to prime time games in the SB era and that was long ago. Every game is tough and this one will be. If Allen has a good game (smart and patient) and our defense continues its improving trend we should be ok. Bills - 30 49’ers - 24

The Hopkins play was intended to be a deep sideline to set up another play. The near sack, and the long scramble by Murray took enough time to leave him no choice but to improvise a “Hail Mary”. Hopkins had the smarts to break the pattern and get to the end zone. Murray had the smarts to not throw it anywhere else because no one else was going to score or get out of bounds. The Bills were in the right defense to stop anything deep, they just didn’t make the play. Murray and Hopkins were absolutely perfect on a fortunate (for them) Hail Mary attempt. The point I’m trying to make is that the Jets defense made it easy. The Raiders saw the blitz, picked up the blitz, the QB stepped up and launched an uncontested ball to a wide open receiver. If you want to call every deep pass a Hail Mary that’s fine, or if you want to call any and every deep pass in the last seconds of a game a Hail Mary that’s fine. All I’m saying is teams practice Hail Mary plays designed specifically to get players around the ball, and the Raiders play was a basic deep pattern to one guy against single coverage. The QB lead the receiver into the end zone. It was not even a jump ball. Nice to see Greggo get fired for his arrogance and stupidity. That play was way too easy.

Nope. One WR and one CB. That is not a Hail Mary. Just a simple stop-and-go pattern and a deep ball. Not every long pass is a Hail Mary. A Hail Mary typically has multiple WRs going into one spot forcing multiple DBs to play there as well. It is a chaos play and a prayer. The Jets played man coverage with no safety help. The QB read the blitz, stepped up in the pocket, and hit a deep bomb, for an easy and uncontested catch in the end zone. Greggo gambled on a sack and gave up the easy long pass.

That was not a Hail Mary. It was a deep ball to you your best receiver who was inexplicably left in single coverage against a marginal CB.

The CB play was horrendous, you give him that move 20 yards down field and play the deep ball - chalk that up to a bad player, the Jets have lots of them. Worse, where was the deep safety help? How can you not have safeties deep on that down and distance? Greggo sends 7 pass rushers right from the snap and then an 8th on top of that. Greggo with another bad call? He is a complete bum. A total moron that showed no respect as usual.
