You're right. I've been in the front row criticizing McDermott and especially Brady, but both did well yesterday, especially McDermott, who put on a master class. Brady.... I'm guess I'm glad the clouds finally parted and a beam of light descended from heaven, inspiring him to keep Cook on the field when it mattered most and even--yes, you read it here--throw the ball to him on third down. True, he was the last person in the NFL football community, my aged aunt in Lackawana included, who realized he should use one of his only two weapons on offense in crunch time, but let's give him credit for finally getting there. Of course, on the next third down, he benched Cook again, so maybe we shouldn't give him too much credit. But all props to McDermott. Regression to the mean. It's not magic after all, it's just probability. Long may it continue.

I didn't see Hancock out there. Did he play well?

I wonder if the oddsmakers think voters will take into account that he has replacement-level wide receivers.

Such a pleasant surprise. After being injured in training camp, I thought he would be another Cole Bishop when he returned after his own injury last year. But he's playing like a first-rounder. Exciting to have him, Bishop, and Walker all contributing big time. Wonder if Hancock will stop up. Too bad Dorian Strong was injured; he was looking good, too.

I agree. Beane just lost two key defensive lineman. To him, that's a bigger priority than WR. I disagree. I think we can get by with the DL we have, but we absolutely need to add at least one quality WR; we really need two, but if he had a Waddle, he would get the team to the Super Bowl.

The refs decided to see if KC could win without them for once. And now they know the answer.

The momentum of the game shifted with that 4th and 17.

Brady is such an easy read for Spags. He's like a little child.

The one game the refs decide not to tip the scales, and the Bills give up a 4th and 17. Unbelievable. Why did Bosa stop? It was like he wanted Mahomes to have enough time to make the throw.

You can see how he would do as a DC for another team if he were let go as head coach. Then he would have another chance at head coach somewhere. Why not stick around and be DC and HC here?

He's looks spooked.

It's not just the defense that is showing up; it's Allen, too. I missed him!

It's like a different team.

Why cover grass when you can blanket Kermit's security blanket?

So was the run on first down. How about a play-action for a change?

Bishop ate his Wheaties this morning!

Hit him lower if you really want to provoke their wrath.

He's always indulging in hyperbole when he has nothing to say. Every player and coach out there is one of the best in the business, the best to play the game, one of the best in the league. Praise praise praise. I'm not hearing much analysis.

Nice not to have to hold my breath on extra points.

Why not have a huge lineman push him from behind instead of Gilliam?

Who gets the ball after half?

Except on third down or when the game is on the line. Welcome to Brady's World.

I was waiting.

Don't forget the second part, that they hold more than any team in the league.

The fig leaf.
