You have a job with an office? and employees? Impressive!

Thanks for the free towel?

Yes, but most of us are not NFL analysts. He SHOULD try and analyze the teams rather than state opinion as fact.

To all of these fools on ESPN, NFLN etc saying they would rather have Mac Jones than Josh Allen, you are out of your ever loving minds!!! Willie McGinist just said Mac Jones is a better QB and Allen will struggle because the Pats* D is so good. Are you freaking kidding me?! I knew w he is a Pats* homer, but C’mon Man!! Haha! I heard a similar take earlier on NFL Live. They must’ve all gotten the memo on how to dismiss us as a soft, pass happy team.

Two questions: 1. He could have said no, right? 2. Do they have to keep him on their active roster the rest of the season, or just one week?

I was just thinking the other day that in the draught years, I would be panicking right now (after Tre’s injury) and preparing mentally for the inevitable downward spiral. Happily, I do not feel like that now. I believe enough in this team to believe they will do what it takes to win the division. McD is good against rookies and I believe he will find a way to beat Jones twice.

Agreed. Honestly, it is the main reason I am not completely panicking about losing Tre. He obviously can’t truly be replaced, but our D line will hopefully make his replacement’s job a little easier.

I have been here for 20 years and I believe this is the best post I’ve ever read. Bravo!

His body lies a-smoldering in the grave...

Ha! that is funny. You are totally right, that was our go to for years, especially in his early years.

Crap. He will offset some of Tasker’s votes.

I’d feel better if Devin Hester wasn’t there too? Did Hester make semi final list?

@HappyDays, I wanted to thank you for the weekly write ups that you do on this. I have an Athletic subscription, but I don’t get to it daily. Your synopsis is a good preview and a reminder to go read the whole article.

Before this game I kept saying Josh Allen was weather proof, so I loved having teams have to come to Buffalo and face us in the elements. Unfortunately, I am no longer confident that this is the case. A power RB like Jonathan Taylor is much better suited for a game like this, than our pass based Offense. At the end of the game, I said "I guess we need a dome after all".

Ha! That’s what I was thinking. This just means Bills fans stuffed the ballot box.

I believed from the beginning that Ed Oliver would be a stud this year, so it is not really unexpected to me, but in general I think he is a surprise stud to many this year. especially those fans who were writing him off after his rookie season. Additionally, for many of the same reasons Star is probably a surprise stud as well. He is a difference maker.

I don’t disagree. I personally do not drive high and only drive after a few drinks occasionally. Luckily my wife barely drinks and is often my designated driver. I Uber if we both plan on drinking a bunch. my point was more the “don’t break 2 laws at the same time” concept. I certainly don’t condone impaired driving.

I have a friend whose motto is, never break 2 laws at the same time. He said this as he was smoking weed while driving on a road trip to Florida. He said he was fine as long as he didn't speed, change lanes without a blinker, have a headlight out, etc... Good words to live by. (I was scared about him driving high at first but he was actually a very good driver even while smoking a joint)

He is actually a pretty good interviewer.

Apparently he missed the famous Herm Edwards quote: "You play to TIE the game!"

Championship teams have players like this coming off of the bench. His straight line speed, whether rushing the QB or running down the ball carrier, looks impressive. There are weaknesses in his game, as noted above, but he is still a solid role player when called upon.

Good lord. Could Collinsworth stroke Mahomes any more passionately?

I hope you lose. No offense.

They don’t draft their own first rounders anymore, so the bill never comes due. They just keep recycling.

I am convinced that our running issues are more about the Offensive line than it is who is carrying the ball. I could be wrong...
