HalftimeAdjustment

That was like a baiting slide. They did not expect a slide.

Against a 3rd string D.

Momentum is against us. But it is hard to fault the D when we have so many players out. They are essentially up against our 2nd or even 3rd string across most of the D other than the line.

3rd a.nd 11, we are bad at that

Ship of Theseus, Bills edition

OK too many of the same play in a row.

Run the ball a little.

Spector was effectively a starter for today and may not return.

I can live with 3 points there after a horrible blow losing Bernard.

This is like a horror movie.

Can we try running next drive?

Is this the 2nd half thread?

Will he injure himself on a punt?

Theoretically Martin should still be able to hold for kicks, I hope.

Was that considered a turnover-worthy throw?

This whole "he'll never recover" mentality makes no sense. He's not even 85% back at his current level. It's very reasonable to expect him to be improved next year. Will he have a falloff due to being 35 instead of say 32-33 before that? Yes. Will he recover "100%"? Unlikely. However, people writing him off as "done" don't have a lot of evidence for that. Someone who tears an ACL at 34 can absolutely recover most of the way back, but they will generally recover far slower than a 21 year old. If he puts the work in, he can get back to NFL level. Elite level? Who knows, probably not. Still doesn't make him "done".

I was premature in calling it a bad game. It did not start well with 2 INTs in the endzone, a strip sack, and a failed drive at the end of the 1st half. However he picked it up and also outplayed Tua.

Lamar had a better ratio (with fewer TDs and fewer INTs) and won his division. Most likely the other division winning QBs also had a better ratio (again with less of each). The only guy with more turnovers (before today) was Sam Howell the QB of the 2nd worst team in the NFL. Josh must not have 3 turnovers in each playoff game or we'll be out early. Is he still an amazing player who could be in the HOF someday? Yes. But to be the best or to win the SB, he needs to cut down on turnovers.

And how many turnovers? 22? That's not a good ratio. 3:1 or better is a good ratio.

The 6 seed? Bleah.

Still leaning that way, yes. Great play though.

Add another bad game to that.

Josh is turning into Super-sized Ryan Fitzpatrick.

That was a missed block. We are in deep trouble now.

So did the RB run the route wrong?
