Watch Palmer on the route, he's running across the field and looks like he's going to cut under the Safety. Allen throws the ball to exactly where Palmer is going to be and Palmer stops running his route. It's impossible to know what Palmer's route is supposed to be (I guess maybe he was supposed to cut over the Safety in the end zone which makes no sense), but considering Allen threw it right where he was running I have to imagine it was there. EDIT: If you go to 8:47 in this video they show the All-22 replay repeatedly. Palmer looks surprised the ball is coming his way.

Ha, I just saw a better replay. What in the world is Palmer doing? Allen throws the ball exactly where he was going to be and Palmer inexplicably stops his route and kind of cuts up field basically giving the Safety a free interception. To be honest I think Palmer sees the Safety and makes a business decision here, which is pathetic on the last play of the game. Allen probably thought "I've been getting smacked around all game, surely the WR will absorb a hit to try to win the game." Really mind boggling.

Silver linings: Baltimore very well might miss the playoffs. Everybody is assuming they will catch the Steelers, but I think the Ravens have looked pretty bad even in their wins. KC is in real trouble for missing the playoffs. If they lose this weekend to the Colts I would argue they are done. AFC feels wide open. Is anybody really afraid of Daniel Jones or Trevor Lawrence in the playoffs? Pats schedule has been baby soft, and nobody will be surprised if they get bounced in the first round. Bills path in the playoffs might not be as tough as you think. I just did a full ESPN playoff simulator and this is what I got for the Bills (5th seed): Wild Card at Pittsburgh Divisional home game against Chargers (I had the Chargers as the 6th seed and upsetting the Broncos, I had KC as the 7th seed and upsetting the Pats) AFCCG at Indy That playoff seems totally doable to get to the Super Bowl, and it even has a home playoff game.

Wow, what a scathing quote. So he is essentially admitting that the offensive coaching is bad, but it’s uncharacteristic (it isn’t). I have a feeling if this were week 4 instead of week 12 Brady would be given his walking papers. What a mess.

If he was the passing game coordinator at Arkansas instead, nobody would know who he is. Perks of being at the right place at the right time.

Add a 4th and forever hook and ladder to the pile of flukes.

Just wait until KC has a 3rd place schedule next year. They will probably get the #1 seed.

That angle actually makes Palmer seem like the correct target anyway. He was wide open in the end zone. Just a misfire on a day where he got beaten black and blue.

I think the Bills offense will have a lot more success against the Steelers D.

Funny you mention the CFL, because that will be Palmer’s employer in 2 years.

I look at it this way. The offense has won us at least 2 games almost single handed. The Baltimore game and the Bucs game. The defense hasn’t won us any game, and has actually put us in a hole for most of our losses.

Daboll + Kromer could absolutely do it, but I don’t think McDermott is friendly with Daboll anymore.

This is overly pessimistic. I doubt the Bills will go 1-6 over a 7 game stretch. Steelers defense is not the same as it was and we will be facing their backup QB. at PIT - W vs CIN - L at NE - L vs CLE - W vs PHI - L vs NYJ - W 10-7 gets a wild card as we have tie breakers over most of the competition there (except HOU).

Our #1 WR for the majority of last season was Cooper and he’s retired. The WR that led the team in scoring was Hollins and he plays for the Pats now. It’s not like it’s the same guys out there.

It’s because Joe Brady has this dumb philosophy where he thinks we can impose our will on defenses. Why didn’t we have a playbook full of blitz beating plays against the Falcons? Same reason. It’s arrogance and probably just a lack of competence.
