Coach Tuesday

I think it’s a totally fair question given how much trouble they’ve had integrating other free agent receivers over the years. Maybe Samuel is an isolated event and it’s all injury-related or maybe there’s a bit of a disconnect between the Bills’ coaches and the personnel department that brought us Sherfield, Harty and Sanders.

He fixed it. Maybe he should consult with the Sabres about the goalie position.

Here is the Rotoworld blurb: Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said Gabe Davis (meniscus) is out for the season. Davis ends his first year in Jacksonville with nine starts, 20 catches, and 239 yards with two scores. He played at least 69 percent of the snaps in every game he finished and never had more than five catches in any game, settling for a one-catch game on four separate occasions. For the privilege, Davis got a $10 million signing bonus. One of Trent Baalke’s greatest follies yet — and that’s saying something — Davis will almost undoubtedly be brought back on a $6.7 million cap figure next year since cutting him would cost the Jaguars $13.6 million in cap space. In his absence, look for Tim Jones and Devin Duvernay to get more run. No Jaguars are truly fantasy viable while Mac Jones is leading the charge.

Exposed how? If Allen doesn’t turn into Superman and the Chiefs march downfield to kick the go-ahead field goal, did the Bills still “expose” them? Some of these takes today…

I think Warner gets that title no?

Not even top 8.

I am talking specifically about the multiple times yesterday when Mahomes extended the play with his legs and then found someone down the sideline. Not just the TD pass, there were several other "wow" passing plays from Mahomes - the same types of plays we see Allen make routinely (but not as much yesterday, because he didn't have to). And Allen definitely missed on a few throws that he usually makes. Don't get me wrong - Allen was the better overall player yesterday. But not the better passer IMO.

Meanwhile Gabe Davis is being shut down for the season after 20 catches.

This is just a ridiculous take. Mahomes was really good yesterday - made more plays with his arm than Allen.

Plus the missed XP yesterday looked like a terrible snap (and it looked like he made it?)...

It was an obvious catch.

The holding call on the next play was iffy - and made it the same spot it would’ve been had the catch been overturned. Nothing to dwell on. Refs called it mostly right today.

Was hilarious to see his mentor with an equally insane challenge later in the game. Gives me hope!

Allen (bc of his MVP run) Shakir (already a legend in his young career, just love the player) Van Denmark (stepped up big time) Oliver (unblockable today) Von (lane discipline was awesome) Rapp and Hamlin (thought it was their best game as a tandem, by far) McD (going for it on 4th at the end shows growth; getting to 9-2 after turning over so much team captaincies is really impressive)

One of the risks you take when you bring a guy in midseason is that he doesn't have the same investment in the team as his new teammates. Some guys are natural alpha competitors who will bring the fire wherever they go. Other guys... are like Amari.

Thank you for vomiting.

Last year was a joyless exercise from beginning to end - this season, while far from perfect (some big plays on offense would be cool), is so much more fun.

Spector is always banged up.

But it’s true - his legacy depends on at least getting to (and preferably winning, obviously) a Super Bowl.

Virgil being able to contribute would be a major and much-needed win for Beane’s pro personnel dept. They have had a brutal run of free agent WR scouting.

Most Colts fans look like thumbs.

This team has more wrist injuries than an all-male prep school.

I agree with you. Miami, they'd need to address the offensive line the right way this offseason - and then they'd need some real luck, because they're always one play away from disaster given Tua's injury history.

Great thread.
