Now they spot the PI.

Jason Bell on Sky in the UK also saying it was a clean hit on Flacco.

Yeah, but they (or the commentators) re-write the rules from time to time.

Because he hit him with his back. Apparently.

Ha, funny how Stroud is getting a, er, pass on there from some for that overthrow. Could be a turning point in the game - the Browns got away with one.

Yes, but if the Chiefs win later we probably want the Browns to go to the Ravens.

No. You just know their defenses would turn up against the Bills.

What is happening???

Tuesday's weather looks no different to Monday's.

We're worried about the Brown defense... when Singletary can do that to them???

Think I agree, but it all depends on tonight's game (and, obviously. the Bills holding up their side of the bargain).

I'm the same. I want to know the Dolphins-Chiefs result so I know who to root for here!

A previous soccer manager at the club I support fought long and hard against under soil heating at the stadium. His argument was there's no point having the pitch playable if the officials/coaches/fans can't get there to watch due to impassable roads etc. It's the same argument with the dome. Fine, so the game could be played. But if no one can get to the stadium, then the dome doesn't make a difference.

Between 15 and 20mph from what I've seen.

Could always move it to London. No signs of snow in southern England...

But the broadcasters will have a fit, with a split audience for two games. And, if it's anything like soccer here, they're the most important people in the room.

I'm not too fussed about the weather. It's just an excuse if things go wrong but the Bills have already shown they're capable of struggling this season even in decent conditions. Do the job; get out of there.

If the Bills run the same game plan, and Josh the same approach, as against the Cowboys, then they should win.

A higher degree of competence from Dorsey may have reduced the immediate churn somewhat, but having a defensive Head Coach means OC's have to look elsewhere for HC opportunities without having an offensive minded head coach in place to keep things ticking over.

Could be famous last words, but I'd be happier if they promoted from within rather than going all out for Vrabel.

This may get downvotes but if the Bills lose to the Steelers I will be an advocate of moving on from McDermott. And it's partially down to something you refer to above - the churn at OC not helping the key player on the team. Get in someone with OC experience as Head Coach and we can at least hope for some stability, even if the churn at OC continues. Getting past the Steelers then losing to the Chiefs or Ravens is uncertain ground, as I think under anyone they would be 50/50 match ups which could go either way. But I am with you that having a defensive minded head coach, as well as he has done for the Bills, is not the best thing for the franchise.

Yep, here comes Vrabel. The big question is what they'll do at QB.

Can't argue against any of that. From a workplace point of view, I would argue the manager has now given the tools to the workers to complete the job to the best of their ability; now it is time for them to execute their tasks. Whereas before the workers were being hamstrung by the manager's requirements - receivers ending up in the same zone, poor play calls at key times, seemingly struggling to manage the QB's mental state. I do part of the issue is Brady is having to work with Dorsey's playbook whilst slowing implementing his own style. Think is was Fournette who said he has never seen something so complicated when he first joined. Does this all mean I have faith in the offense? No, sadly not. Other than the Cowboys - which was a very different approach - and the Eagles, it has not looked really good since the home win against the Dolphins. If it clicks, then the Bills could finally win a Superbowl. If it doesn't we could be sitting here next week with nothing to talk about but the close season.

I think it’s down to the eye test that makes the offense look better under Brady. Despite the lack of points scored, the movement down the field seems easier and more dynamic. How many points were left on the board because of individual errors? The Cook drop, the Johnson incident, Josh’s first INT (miscommunication with Davis seems seriously bad this year, under both Dorsey and Brady). But then they don’t appear to have receivers run in the same area, as under Dorsey. The reliance on Diggs isn’t so prevalent, as you noted above. Shakir seems to be developing well, and Kincaid being an increasingly important part of the offense. I’ll believe you when you say Cook has been worse under Brady but generally I think the running game has looked better. Then, personality wise, whether after a fair or foul play, Josh seems more on a level now. It felt like we saw the “deer in the headlights” look from him more often than not whilst Dorsey was OC. I’m not saying Brady should be hired on the spot, nor disputing what you highlight in your post, but I can appreciate why others are feeling more positive about the offense, despite the low PPG return. As an aside, I cannot imagine two teams who sacked their OC mid-season meet in the play offs that often.

Whereas the Pro Bowl is opposite - IIRC it takes into account less than two thirds of the season at the point the vote opens (after week ten). I mean, still over a third of the season left and people can vote on who's been best throughout the season? The end results each year speaks volumes about the stupidity behind that.
