I know in the playoffs both teams get a chance with the ball, regardless of what happens the first drive (thanks to the 13 second game), but in the regular season - unless they changed the rules recently - if the receiving team scores a TD on that opening drive, they win.

A marriage that has run its course after 9 years.

I don’t get not taking a lead in the 4th Q when you have that chance.

The funny thing is I think Belichick would be a decent actor as long as you’re not asking him to stray too far from his real self. If he’s playing the same monotone type of guy he would kill it.

Yeah, his acting is stiff, like he’s clearly playing a role. I call that wooden. There are working actors who are also wooden though, so it wouldn’t hold him back from a Hollywood career if he wants it.

I’m seeing Josh Allen in a different commercial every other break. He’s done well for himself and his commercial image! Still seems a bit wooden if he elects to pursue acting after his career, but no doubt Hailey could help him in that area.

I feel in some ways Puka Nacua’s gauntlet time at the combine the year before, doomed the Bills into taking Coleman. Nacua had an average 40, but the best or second best gauntlet time in his class and the Bills missed on him. Coleman had the best gauntlet time in his class if I remember correctly and that might’ve elevated him in the Bills eyes, given what Nacua did his rookie year.

Bills record with Elijah Moore: 6-1 when he’s active, 0-2 when he’s inactive. Get that goose egg corrected today!

NFL is definitely a week to week league.

Right, the “can’t get open” is so overplayed and has taken a life of its own. “Open” in the NFL is having a step or two on the defender. Not every QB gets to throw to college open players like Lamar Jackson. Whether it’s passing game design or Allen not pulling the trigger, the receivers in this offense, Brady’s offense, are not the best versions of themselves. It’s also no coincidence Diggs’ numbers plummeted once he took over for Dorsey.

I thought we were moving towards a youth movement and speed in the secondary? Why did Hancock only get 10 defensive snaps to Poyer’s 43? Hairston started the game and played every snap; if Benford comes back and McD splits time between Hairston and White again I’ll be at the point where I truly want McD gone at the end of the year.

This is why I keep coming back to scheme and passing design more than personnel. You can have different receivers running those same routes, but if the play calls are just as predictable it won’t matter. WRs in Brady’s offense aren’t the best versions of themselves and we have years of data that proves it.

Neither group of receivers are outstanding and they have Daniel Jones throwing the ball. Imagine if that same coordinator was calling plays for Josh Allen and the Bills. I think you’d see all positions elevate their level of play with more competent game plans. If Josh was throwing to Tyler Warren, Alec Pierce, Josh Downs, and Michael Pittman Jr, with Joe Brady calling plays, it’d be much of the same.

He hasn’t been utilized as a superstar QB this season, nor is he consistently playing like one. I’m all for a shakeup offensively. You think the Colts have better pieces on offense than we do? I don’t, yet they’re putting up numbers under Steichen. Get a coordinator in here who excels in the passing game and watch the offense elevate to higher ground.

This is the right answer. WRs come to this offense to die. Shakir has 4.4 speed and great shiftiness, but you’d never know it because he runs bubble screens seemingly half the time. It’s not an aggressive passing scheme, nor does it utilize rub routes and pick plays. Doesn’t even try to confuse the opposition with motion. Brady is mostly at fault, 75%.

Looks like Jones is wearing lipstick. Wipe your mouth, dude.

The Falcons are a pretender.

Is that “do good, be good, god bless, go Bills”?

People are saying if it was murder or a vehicular accident, police reports would be out there. A wellness check was ordered at his apartment last night but Kneeland wasn’t home. Take from that what you will.

I like the receiver who plays angry and with emotion, ala Nabors, but with that usually comes a bit of diva (Diggs). BTJ and Coleman don’t play that way, but if they were the quiet producer like Jefferson (or Fitzgerald), no one could say they didn’t have that dawg in them.

Dorian Williams? He definitely will be. Carter probably gets cut at cutdown day and Strong retires. The OL also won’t be returning all 5 starters through 2029-2030. The two tackles are the only givens IMO.

Four including the OP. Guess it felt like many more 😅

I would’ve loved to see the reactions of those calling for a punt if it was blocked and returned for a TD. Methinks they’d be singing an entirely different tune. It’s the 36 yard line, guys, it’s FG or go for it. No coach is punting 20-25 yards there.

NOBODY punts from the freaking 36 yard line, nor should they.

I don’t know why anyone would opt for fusion over a replacement disc!
