Yeah, I guess the media should never ask about injuries because what’s the point, right? Fans and media want more information than what can be found on weekly injury reports? How dare they! Maybe you can start a petition to outlaw these questions.

Complacent. Stale. Routine. Whatever you want to call it, the Bills and McD/Allen have seemingly reached this point. Not to mention only Cook and Oliver have elevated their play post second contract.

If either actually hit IR count me as surprised because their situation will feel mismanaged. In my opinion it’s just McD being cagey as usual. A reporter asks “is IR a possibility?” McD responds with his token “we’ll see.” They act like they don’t have any of the information when in fact they have all of it. Diagnoses don’t take literal weeks.

Don’t kid yourself. Sean McDermott and the Bills know exactly what’s wrong with Strong’s neck, they just don’t want to tell you. They’re so unnecessarily cagey with injury information. A few weeks after Hairston’s knee sprain they were still “gathering information.”

The All-hindsight draft would have been filthy good if Beane never traded up, picked S Emmanwori in the first, CB Trey Amos and whoever else you wanted in the 2nd, DT Deone Walker in the third, and WR Tory Horton in the 4th.

I think he’s generally hands off when it concerns the offense, but if you want to assign him blame for not picking up the headset and setting his OC straight, I couldn’t argue with it. He gives his coordinators more space than maybe he should.

I also think he’s more to blame for the struggles than most here are willing to admit, but if I had to put a percentage on it, I’d say the passing issues are 35% Joe Brady, 30% Josh Allen, 20% WRs, and 15% OL.

As long as they rule that the first Seahawk had possession.

The Ravens have returned from their bye week. Lamar Jackson did not practice (hamstring).

Did Nick Emmanwori start this game?

Hard to believe these Lions got so out classed by the Chiefs. Definitely a week to week league.

And that’s the problem with the offensive approach. A defense’s best friend is an offense that racks up points, forces the opposition to be one dimensional. The only game we’ve had like that this year is the Jets. All other games have been close enough to where the opponent hasn’t had to abandon their running game. We’ve neutered our offense and it is quite boring to watch.

Too close to overturn. Would’ve needed an index card measurement

I remember Beane had something to the effect of “yeah we decided to put Max on IR to give him that much more time…” it didn’t sound like an IR injury at the time he spoke, but maybe they needed the roster spot and genuinely didn’t want to rush him back. I think he’s been healed long ago, despite the knee brace.

Just heard Joe Buck say “the secondary is down every starter from opening day”?? Wow. His second point was “but you’d never know it.” Great defensive coaching.
