Casey D

Agree, particularly after rewatching the game. In focusing on the last 20 minutes and giving up 28 points, what gets lost is that the defense played a huge role in essentially letting the offense put the game out of reach. D got quick stops on first two Lions' possessions of the game, which gave the offense a chance to build a 14-0 lead that was never relinquished. D got a stop after the Bass miss. D got a stop on Lions first second half possession, then a turnover, to allow O to extend a 14-point lead. In fact, after O scored to open second half, the game was never within one score until Lions scored with just 12 seconds after D forced clock drain with 14-point lead. So, while giving up 42 points, D played well at key times and never let the game get truly in jeopardy-- I know it always feels like the Bills can blow a game-- which is as important I think as giving up 42 points.

Not this year, with the possible exception of Jets Dolphins2, but division games are a different beast so you never know.

That makes sense. Two games in 11 days is a bear. MRI came back as "mild" high ankle sprain, so 2 weeks seems right.

Fox game. CBS has late slot.

Guy's a whiner. Ignore him.

No, if Bills win out KC can win one game and Bills #1 seed.

Sure, but they have time to get well before playoffs. We can limp next three weeks and still sweep.

Stinger I think.

Nah, he just sucks.

Of course it's OK. You can do whatever you like. It's just that there is a time and place for everything, and being miserable all the time is sad.

Why do people have to ***** on a good day? Pitiful

Jackson

This coaching staff sucks. Just wanted to keep it going.

15 rounds

Bishop cramping

AI sucks.

I was talking ex ante.

Up 21-14. I'll take it.

Detroit is real good. This will be 15 rounds.

I don't know how this team with so many achilles heels and so poorly coached can be up 14-0 on the best team in football. Luck I suppose.

God, I hate threads like this.

Good question. I don't know. It would have been nice to find out though. But that also was the gamble McD took when he accepted the penalty. Just did not work out.

I am sure you think it was obviously correct-- we just disagree. Say on 3rd and 17, Rams gained nothing, or 3 or 5-- good decision. It was a calculated risk that ultimately made a two-yard negative difference. Given that Rams went for it and gained 12, you saying it was a big difference is an interesting opinion with which I disagree. If they gained 5 you might have a point. But taking or declining the penalty, IMO, was a matter of judgment and McD took a more aggressive approach than you would have. Which is kind of ironic that you prefer the cautious approach. Candidly I could have gone either way.

How about going for it on 4th down late against KC this year and shutting the door-- does that answer your "damn" question. And the second point is silly. If LA went for it on 4th and 5, you think things would be different if 4th and 7 instead. If you think that would have been a shrewd move, I've got some swampland to sell you.

They win the West if they beat Seattle again. Got Jets and Cards so they beat Seattle they likely go 11-6.
