I'm guessing they let Douglas walk and Elam is the other starter next year at CB. And likely draft one Day 2 as a backup plan

LOL Yeah I went back and re-watched that too.

They did take 1 second off. When Allen took the knee, there were 11 seconds left

Kind of surprised Jefferson is out. I'd have thought he's played better than Phillips

Yeah but didn't Jabbar have a cameo role as a passenger? He was the one speaking "jive" and another passenger translated??

Of the 2, my guess is Phillips

I'm thinking of the one with Abdul Jabbar was in it.

Reminds of the movie Airplane, or was it Airport??

Agree, you don't sign top paid FA or use high draft picks if you don't have a starting spot for the player. Could they improve their O-line, sure, but at what cost. If you have to cut one of the starters or make him a backup, the gain isn't worth it over the value the existing player is giving you as they are all playing very well. You can make the same argument at RB and TE. The only spot on offense that has an opening is WR assuming Cooper & Hollins don't come back. Based on comments Cooper has made I wouldn't be shocked to see him somewhat of a home town discount to stay here, same with Hollins. On the other hand on defense there are players that you're not getting great value from so are worth replacing as there's a large potential gain or the player is a FA so need a replacement. Those are CB, DE to replace Miller, A high end DT next to Oliver, and maybe a safety to replace Hamlin if not certain Bishop is up to being the starter. That's 4 potential new starters on D compared to one starter on offense and one highly used backup in Hollins

Don't feel alone, I've had the same problem

Did they? I mean the Bills hardly tried all that much.

When do these teams learn?? Picking your next HC because as an OC he was great, but had one of the top two or three QB's in the league as his QB does not mean he will become a good HC. See Daboll, Gase, number of OC's from Pats, and others before him. In that respect I do think Ben Johnson is a much better choice as the Lions QB is very good, but not in the same league as Allen, Mahomes, Jackson, or Burrow. But yet Johnson has made the Lions offense one of the tops in the league without the superstar QB. On the other hand is it a smart move for the Joe Brady's of the world to take these jobs as better chance of failure than success. But as they say, only 32 of these jobs exist, so kind of get it. Likely even if he gets fired after 2 years, he'd make more in those two years than he'd make in in 10 years as an OC.

In the case of 13 seconds it sounds like McD had told the ST coach to kick it in the field of play so wasn't on him. This past week I do question if there was also some type of miscommunications on the field as if they were running "the Orchard Park Snowplow", why wasn't there a RB behind him to help push him forward like there normally is? I tend to question if that was the called play?? One of Mc'D strong points is he'll rarely blame anyone else and just keep it internally so we'll never know for certain.

Another 1st for Allen Leading NFL MVP candidate Josh Allen had the best fantasy performance by a quarterback ever in Week 14, logging an incredible six touchdowns (three through the air, three on the ground) en route to 51.88 fantasy points. The second-best historical QB performance was over six decades ago, in 1961, when Houston Oiler George Blanda would have produced a 49.72-point game. In the league I played in, would have been worth 55 points

College basketball has almost become unwatchable. Between all the one and done's, you don't know who anyone is and the fact that these kids can't shoot worth a lick anymore. If UNC says no, I do think some of these big $$ schools would offer him the same. Can you spell SEC??

No can't be be. We won the division so no worse than 4th seed and first game at home likely against Balt in that case. Or Balt could still win division over Pitt as they could lose a few down the stretch as they have a tough remaining schedule.

The problem is when you look at McD's record, statistically the Bills have a much better shot and hiring a coach who'll do worse than better. It's usually a 2 to 3 year window each time you change coaches so you could easily be here for the next 10 years with different coaches and not doing better.

I didn't wear the Bills shirt I normally wore on Sundays

Sure they might have, but hard to believe they wouldn't kick it at 4th and 5, but would have at 4th and 7? Plus for the reasons you state, if they kicked a FG a TD by Buffalo wins game makes me think it's doubtful Ram's would have kicked. Bills couldn't stop Rams all game and Rams could barely stop the Bills particularly late in game.

I don't think they'd have been afraid to pass either as we couldn't stop the short ones. And yes one 1st down game over.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but the way the defense played yesterday even with only a 3% chance of successful onside kick, I tend to agree with you!

They gave them one more down not two. It would have been 4th and 7, Instead it became 3rd and 16, then with the pass completed went to 4th and 5. Likely whether it was 4th and 7 or 4th and 5, Rams still would have went for it. Admittedly they did lose time, believe the rule in last 5 minutes, even if you decline penalty, clock does not restart? On the attempted run play at goal line, what surprised me was no one was in the backfield too push Allen forward. I assumed they were faking the sneak and Allen was maybe going to roll out and if he had a clear path run it in, else, pass it to someone sneaking out behind them in the end zone.

Do they often give player of the week awards to player on losing team? If so I'd think Allen will win it 2 weeks in a row.

If NFL GM's and scouts can't make decent projections on 1st round QB,s how can any projection made on a late round pick be worth anything? You can throw him on the PS, but I'd be much more confident having the backup #2 QB be a guy who's played in the NFL, even if he fizzled out. When your staring QB is questionable, say Carolina, it's worth taking a gamble then as good chance the starter won't last all season without benching him.
