  1. Funny thing about that TD, as awesome as it was, is it was still a high risk of a play (great reward), and if you watched the three receivers streak down the field to the same area, how wide open the middle was if one of them had a route that cut shorter. Glad Tyrod made the throw, and know Sammy will catch it if given the chance, but also shows some interesting pieces of Lynn's play calling.

  2. I feel like I'm watching one of those college teams running a silly but effective offense and saying "that would never work in the NFL". I don't mean to not enjoy our strengths and mask Tyrod's weaknesses, but am I wrong in thinking that most NFL teams employ some degree of passing the ball in between the numbers from 10 to 20 yards down the field from time to time?

     

    Oooh....delay of game...that's awesome.

  3. If we lose this game, Rex is toast

     

    I am confused what this game has to do with it. Is there something you think he demonstrates about his 2017 coaching projection that he hasn't shown in the first 30 games? These last two games shouldn't influence anybody's opinion if they are attempting to make a valid logical strategic football decision. No way the couple games we finish the season with should have any impact or teach us something we don't already know and isn't crystal clear after 30 games of not being good at his job.

  4. So Rex doesn't decide that challenge himself. Who is the one to give him the advice, and what are our technological limits on that? I wouldn't have challenged, but you have to think someone with more technology and info is making the decision. Does the NFL restrict what angles they have access to? I've gotten used to the boring MLB challenges, where they stall until they are certain and almost never lose.

  5. Just for the record again, I don't care about the draft positioning between 7-9 and 9-7 and think it would mean a ton to the next coach to have this team finish strong, know how close they were to the playoffs, and have a realistic change to not play a snap eliminated from the post season, even if actually reaching the playoffs doesn't end up following the miracle script that we are now constrained to.

     

    If the Pegulas could be swayed to keep or fire Rex based on that swing, that would be very unfortunate, because I think his last 30 games show he should not be back and cannot be an exceptional HC in the 2016+ world of football (I still wouldn't mind him in 2006 or 1996). But I assume he should be gone in either case, and if we just miss at 9-7 his sins for blowing it for this team are even more obvious, while 7-9 might be far enough away that Whaley takes the blame.

     

    So go Bills, squish the fish, and let's have the Steelers, Jags, Bengals, Chiefs, and Raiders have a good day and let us enjoy the what ifs for another week before we switch to the off season coaching watch and draft planning.

  6. Accurate breakdown on the wins, but if you want to evaluate the team you have to take into account:

     

    1) We did beat the Patriots in New England

     

    2) We travelled across the country to beat potential Super Bowl matchup teams Oakland and Seattle both on the road. Came up a little short on each, but showed at each game that we belonged.

     

    3) We got demolished by the real Steelers and the real Patriots at home.

     

    4) Our QB and our coach on individual plays and decisions over and over displayed that they are not good enough at their jobs. But the core of our team along with the hope that we would get 16 games out of Watkins and Dareus in 2016 should build confidence that a new coach isn't very far away if he can find competent QB play in the short term (including Tyrod, Romo, etc) while identifying and developing his franchise QB beyond that.
