Fan in Chicago

When is McD going to slap some sense into Daboll and make him mix in lot more runs? Singletaeybhad, what 6.7 yards per carry and had 11 carries ??

Yes, we are on to Miami. Put this game behind but learn from it. Steelers played very well and we were unable to counter. We all got washed up in the preseason hype which is why this loss is more depressing than usual. Let's get back on track. If we come out disorganized and unable to adjust next week, I will start worrying.

That was a fantastic catch by Davis And a very goid throw.

Try a moving pocket. This hasn't worked so far. And quicker throws

Two drops by the sure handed Beasley. OL is killing us with the penalties

Allen' over threw that one

Good okay call. Have to mix in the runs. Keep the D on the field and tire them out

What a catch, Manny!

Anyone having issues with Shiutbox? I am not seeing the enter by button

Nice catch and ru, Knox

Oh how he would love to score a TD against the team that drafted him!

Can't believe this day is finally here! Go Bills!

Happy birthday, SS

Barely beat? Is that how you remember last year's game? Was the result ever in doubt after we accounted for Heyward? Every single team in the league thinks they are better than they were last year

I didn't mean it as a sign of disrespect. Not many Brits who are so knowledgeable about American football I do agree British tennis needed someone like Raducanu. I find it astonishing that no British woman has made a Grand Slam final since Virginia Wade did in 1976! Raducanu looks to be a good one though. I look forward to women's tennis where these two teens continue improving and give us a Evert-Navratilova type rivalry

I will disagree to agree. 🙂 On another subject, as you are faux Brit - Raducanu or Fernandez? I am picking the latter in a tough-to-predict game

Did White mistake himself for a coach? 😀

@GunnerBill come on, man. After the 20:00 mark...

This one looked more than 50-50 to me. The side ref was standing right there too. It was a pretty blatant shove.

This is not a good start to the season for him. After the off year and the light workload in TC, he should have been fully healthy for the opener. In a way, glad we get to test our upgraded D without his presence. We dont want to find out in the playoffs. I am not particularly concerned about JJ Watt as the team did a decent job against him last year. Cam Heyward was wrecking havoc in the first quarter or so and we adjusted well too.

Comes down to situational awareness. Two ways McCarthy could have played this (assuming there was no way he would be able to totally burn the clock down given how the TB D was playing): - Run max time off the clock and give Brady less than 30 seconds. At that point, a FG may have been the right call - Do what you suggest. Given that there were 90 seconds on the clock with Brady at the other end, he should have seen that the odds of getting a 1st down are better than being able to stop Brady from driving to FG distance. At that point in the game, 90 seconds was more important. the extra 25 yards of field position were irrelevant as TB only needed a FG But either way, this was bad in-game coaching. The pre-half time play calling was terrible as well

While a team with heavy reliance on the run game may not get deep in the playoffs, they will still see success when supported by a good D. Presumably, the Pats** are intending to do that till they know more about Jones' passing skills in real games. I know the days of run-dominated games are gone but there has to be a credible threat to run. Chews the clock, keeps the D honest, wears out a D, keeps an opposing high-powered offense off the field ..... The Bills certainly could have used a better run game last season. Their most credible threat cannot & should not be Allen.

Fair point with the way I worded my post. What I did want to say is that if songs are targeted at a specific fan base, they should have a better beat and cause some excitement. This should be meant to be played loud, at game parties, during tailgating etc.

Eh. Pretty poor song if meant to be a "Shout" song. Needs a lot more rabble rousing feel to it

Lost in this discussion about the non call.... Pretty poor clock management by the Cowboys on their final drive. They should not have left so much time for Brady. Similar situation at the end of the first half where, despite Zeke, they should have run more. Too much reliance on the passing game. Yea, I know the TB defense is tough against the run but have to show variety on O.
