Mitch Morse never went into a fencing posture on National TV twice for millions of parents to see and singlehandedly likely caused more decline in participation of youth football than any other event or player in NFL history. That may seem insignificant but I can promise you the NFL is alarmed at this because they are very focused on long-term growth of this league and do not want the tireless work of the last 5 decades to go to down the tubes. Less youth participation means less potential college and pro players and lower quality of the game over time.

Ed Oliver was also a beast. Chris Long was so impressed with him that he called him 100% canine and said he doesn't want to be one of those fans wearing jerseys of players but he is buying an Ed Oliver jersey.

Too bad this doesn't translate to the playoffs.

I would be shocked if the independent neurologists(who are paid by the NFL BTW) clear Tua this season. Tua has the potential to do more to damage football at the grassroots level over the next decade than just about anyone and I wouldn't be surprised if the NFL are having internal discussions as to how to handle this situation.

I could a scenario where Goodell for the integrity and protection of the sport longterm, tells independent neurologists that the NFL is paying, BTW, that they are never going to clear Tua to play medically. They work with Tua and the agent to ensure he is fully paid out his entire contract and signs and NDA that forbids him from talking about this. Why? Goodell was in attendance last night and once again witnessed a fencing reaction on Primetime TV by Tua, ensuring millions of Americans saw that. The second time we have witnessed this with him in a few years. Youth football is already facing a massive decline in numbers as parents are not wanting to subject their kids to these type of long term, life altering potential brain traumas. Seeing this AGAIN on national TV only reinforces why they shouldn't allow their kids to play, brings it up as a huge topic of discussion again and likely has caused numerous people to decide their child is never playing football. For the long term health of the NFL, protecting the cash cow the NFL has become and preventing potential declines in revenue that they have spent decades building up, it would make perfect sense to prevent a player who could single handedly lessen participation in the sport drastically by people seeing up close and personal on national TV what can happen on the worst case scenario. It may sound crazy but I would be shocked if the NFL isn't having internal discussions about what to do about the "Tua problem".

From a post on Twitter that I read but can't find now, it said that Fins only have contract insured for 49.3 out of the 167+ million guaranteed, so they would be on the hook for the other $122 million... And as far as I know once a player retires that money gets accelerated to the cap immediately.

Brought this up last week when they broke the record after the Cardinal game...it's truly absurd... Last defeat by more than 6 points(in regular season) was to Carson Wentz and the Colts in November 2021.

IMO, McDaniel's scheme is hugely flawed and it gets exposed every game McDermott plays against him. They don't have any answers for what the Bills do defensively which is basically take away deep throws and force runs and patient underneath throws. They have ferrari's and porsche's and lambo's and bugatti's and want to drive 200 mph but the Bills put roadblocks and potholes in the way and force them to slow down and drive with their hazards on. Been that way pretty much every game against them. We make them look average offensively. The games aren't usually close and other teams seem to be catching on and following the Bills lead increasingly often. The Fins are all flash and glitz but no substance when it comes down to it. When you take away the flash and force them to actually play sound, fundamental football, they fold like cheap tents because they don't know how to do it since they rely on tricks, misdirection and motions so often to prevent them from having to do it. Bills take away deep shots and crowd the middle of the field to clog the crossers. Play physical at the LOS with the WR's to disrupt timing and routes. They basically tell the Fins to run the ball and throw short passes to the backs and TE's if they are going to try and beat them. Achane always has good games against us, but so what? We are giving them that based on the gameplan and light boxes. We don't care about him running for 100 yards. That's irrelevant to the outcome of the game. They are never winning that way. Fins refuse to stick with it long enough to force the Bills out of it and even if they did, I don't know if it would force them out of it.

But I heard right on this board that our OC is nothing special... Hmm...wonder what is more over...the Dolphins season or his dating career? 😂

No

Did they? Where are they now and how has he contributed to any playoff success? That team is nowhere.

Yeah...seems really revisionist now... but as always people forget about the past and are so caught up in the last game or few games of the season.

Had every reason to want out of Minnesota with the way the offense was headed to a run heavy approach when he was in his prime. Bills utilized him properly in his prime...now that he is past his prime he still thinks he is in it but he isn't... Players have a right to want to maximize their abilities and their career potential. That was never happening in Minnesota.

In the 4 years he was here with Allen Led the NFL in receiving yards Led the NFL in receptions Tied for most TDs with Kelce-Mahomes Doesn't take much "understanding" as to why.

figured as much...only thing that explains it being mishit that badly normally. I've had that happen...it sucks.

Allen was also the least sacked player in the NFL last year.

Jags one of those bugaboo teams for us...never seem to play well against them even going back to the Kelly era. Need to take care of business. Have been some crazy games against them over the years... Kelly's last game in a playoff loss where Natrone Means "Business" crushed us and knocked us out of the playoffs at home(I was there). Losing on the last play of the game on a Leftwich TD pass in the back of the endzone. Losing on a BS phantom PI penalty late in the 4th by Nickell Roby where he literally never touched the player Tyrod playoff game where we played great on D and did nothing on O and lost 10-3 Disgusting Urban Meyer game where the "other Josh Allen" had a sack, fumble recovery and INT against our Allen and we lost 9-3 London game last year Bills need to play a lot better than they usually do against them to win.

Von is back!

I thought he might have had his plant foot slip...only thing that really makes sense to hit a ball that badly. Especially since players were slipping all over the place all night. Didn't see the replay, that was my first thought when I saw him hit it.

My two favorite plays were the long TD to Diggs opening night against the Rams where Allen runs down the field and is chirping at Ramsey the whole time bouncing off the field and then the one game where he ran over Ramsey and then intentionally "teabagged" him while getting up off the ground. 😂

As I have said, Josh Allen's one sided crusade against Jalen Ramsey continues unabated to this day...I guarantee Ramsey wishes he could back in time and never say that during the interview before the first game he played Allen. It's led to one embarrassing play after another and Allen seemingly goes out of his way to target him.

Honestly...I wouldn't have been surprised if Poyer pulled a Vontae Davis at the half and retired... Clearly just doesn't have it...why embarrass yourself for 15 more games?

hard to think he would pass up guaranteed NFL game checks for PS checks that's literally why because he can't get there fast enough
