What is the "real reckless" talk? Bc I didn't see anyone saying Drake Maye is better than Josh Allen. I don't think there's any question as to who the better QB is right now. But it's also not a fair comparison. Not only is Josh more physically gifted (and quite possibly the single most physically gifted QB of all time), Drake Maye is in only his second year. Josh Allen wasn't the guy we know now in Year 2. And Drake Maye in Year 2 is a better QB than Josh Allen was in Year 2. Does that mean he'll be better than Josh is in Year 8 when he's in Year 8? No. But we don't know for aure that he won't be either. Either way, this reads like cringe homer hyperbole. Stuff you yell out when you're leaving the stadium inebriated and yelling "hey-ay ay ay!". Like the Bills fans that say Lamar "sucks" or "can't hold Josh's jockstrap". The truth (like with Lamar) is that Josh may be better, but Drake Maye is still a VERY good Quarterback. If he couldn't "hold his jock" as you put it, we wouldn't have lost to them earlier in the year. We wouldn't have had to come from behind today. The Pats wouldn't be 11-3 and he wouldn't be considered an MVP candidate. Not being the #1 QB in Football doesn't mean you can't still be very, very good. And Maye is.

Loved seeing Hairston and his blazing speed let up on pursuit there.

Why the f-ck did Poyer jump?

Punting from the 41 now?! What in tge f-ck?!

Why have we pulled Cook?

Terrible coaching decisions from the word go (making Gabe a healthy scratch for Keon, deferring with our Defense and an Offense that doesn't play well from behind, missing a challenge, punting from the 44, and pulling Cook on 2nd Down). Losing at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. This is gonna be a long one.

He just got back from a mid-season knee surgery. Lately he's been playing out of position at DE on a number of snaps. He's played a grand sum total of 8 games and again, has dealt with a knee injury. He was the 41st pick in the Draft. Have a little patience. People act like all Rookies come out of the gate playing like veterans. For most, it's a learning curve that can take a year or two before things slow down. People were ready to cut bait with Cole Bishop not too long ago and look what he's turned into after a year and a half.

Cool. Oliver got hurt for 4 weeks. Is that worth "the message"? Can you not get across the message without physical punishment? That's kind of my whole point. Again, I'm speculating. I don't know this to be a fact. But we're *constantly* taking mid week injuries. More so than other teams. I can't help but wonder if things like "sending a message" (as you put it) and in general how he conducts the physicality in practice isn't more to blame than the board whipping boy of the Strength & Conditioning department.

I've mentioned this before but while everyone makes post after post bemoaning the strength and conditioning staff anytime an injury occurs - I've begun to wonder if McDermott isn't pushing the guys too hard in practice on a weekly basis. Obviously, this is just speculation on my part. As the media only sees the opening walkthroughs and no one knows what a McDermott in season practice looks like, besides the people there. But the thought popped in to my head the Wednesday following Week 1. Ed Oliver was doing a presser that day and he was asked about the difficulties of putting the pads on Wednesday following a grueling Monday Night Football game. He said something along the lines of 'we killed each other for 60+ minutes on a Monday night and we're here on a Wednesday morning going full go. But that's just what we do' (or something like that). Ironically, that was the practice he hurt his foot in. Again, no clue if it's true or not. But we've replaced strength and conditioning staffs at least once (maybe twice, I can't really recall). The results remain the same. And the number of injuries we incur outside of games seems to be more than others. The only thing I can think of is maybe McDermott goes full contact too much in the middle of the week.

Depends what you mean by ceiling. If you're talking about in the passing game, I think he's kind of hit his ceiling already. He's far too elite and important as a blocking Tight End (which is what we Drafted him for) to have him abandoning that for routes and/or designed pass plays much more than he already is doing. He's a better Lee Smith or Quintin Morris. A guy that's primarily going to pass and run block for you at a high level, but will sneak a route or come off a block and get open to catch the occasional pass. I wouldn't expect to see him be a primary part of the passing game.

But their owner meddles like crazy. .... that's a good thing now, right?

And he was AFC Defensive Player of the Week last week

***** - Benford has looked ELITE the past two weeks!

Sliding Ja'Marr Chase inside to match up with Cam Lewis is nasty work.

What is up with James holding on to the Football lately? F-ck.
