Can we see a replay on the hold?

It's pouring cats and dogs. Doubt we see much downfield passing from either team.

Am I wrong to think you should give Hurts a little bit of punishment at the bottom of that pile? Refs boned us on that second false start on the previous drive, and that holding on 3rd and long was technically correct but I guarantee that same infraction will happen 15 more times this game uncalled.

Don’t you have anything better to do?

Redskins aren't a team anymore. I think we'll be alright.

Looks like the Dolphins have lost Phillips for the year (and some of next year?) with an Achilles injury. It's a blow for the rest of their season because he was playing very well.

Allen could go on a tear to end the year and win it going away. We’ll see if the team is up to the task.

Undone by a bust QB and a torn Achilles. I doubt he's a great head coach, but he never really had a chance.

Jets O and special teams shutout through 3 quarters. Couldn’t even muster a FG. Couldn’t even get an XP on the defensive TD.

That would be a 5 yard facemask if those still existed

Jets defense must be pissed. Point differential from the perspective of the Jets defense should be +3 for the Dolphins, which is really good.

I think their defense is going to follow the trends and “quiet quit”

I wish there was an AFC game on today. Go Lake Erie Bros!

Sean Payton missing the playoffs with Drew Brees was a massive failure. Tomlin missing the playoffs in 2018 was a massive failure. Some of those other years had just “good” QB performances. If you have a QB putting up a top-5 performance in the league for their position in a given year, you should make the playoffs or it is a coaching failure IMO. Maybe that was less true in the past, but with the way the rules are now I think it is true. Allen is on pace for a top 5 finish at his position. Maybe top 1 depending on how you weigh TDs vs turnovers.

I went through the simulator and got: 1. KC (14-3) 2. JAX (13-4) 3. BAL (12-5) 4. MIA (12-5) 5. CLE (11-6) 6. HOU (10-7) 7. PITT (10-7) Outside looking in...BUF (10-7), DEN (9-8), IND (9-8) I had Miami the last week of the season being win-and-in, and we lost (terribly Billsy of them).

One reason it is hard to evaluate McDermott and just point to the playoffs as good enough is that he’s had a top 3 QB in the league the past 3 seasons. If you have a top 3 QB in the league that is getting All Pro votes, then it would be a massive failure to miss the playoffs.

Don’t let them get to 3rd/4th and short.

Two things I would be curious about: - What is the tackle for loss or no gain rate for shotgun runs vs under center. My impression is that under center runs have lower ceiling and higher floor (less likely to result in a negative play). - What is the play action success rate out of shotgun vs under center. If play action is a lot more successful under center, then it is worth it to run the marginally less effective under center running plays.

The losses are all Allen’s fault. It’s his responsibility to make sure there aren’t 12 men on the field for special teams. And it is definitely his job to not allow a 90 second Mac Jones game winning TD drive.

Mediocre Hurts is #1 in odds right now. Buddy is going to tush push his way to MVP.

Let’s hope Josh Allen does his best Sam Howell impersonation.

If the Bills can win this week, I think there is a good chance that they come out of the bye in a 4 or 5-way tie between all of the wild card teams at 7-5. Broncos, Bengals, Bills, Colts, Steelers, Jags, Dolphins and Browns all have feasible paths to 7-5 without big upsets required (Jets over Miami, Bengals over Jags, Bills over Eagles, Rams over Browns being the biggest upsets to get those teams to 7-5). Crowded field this year.

Yep, hard to imagine the Steelers offense getting worse.

Yea, that wasn’t exactly an easy catch. He’s running full speed and has to half lay out for it. A nice throw for sure, but a low percentage play. Everything has to go perfectly for a completion there.

For the Ravens? Sure!
