Kovalchuk placed on waivers for contract termination. Some fine GMing out there in LA. Wonder if Kopitar and Doughty are thinking about requesting trades.

@WildCard at least you have your fantasy football team.

Me: "I'd prefer a head coach who was more philosophically in line with the landscape of the league." You: "OMG how dare you expect perfection from a rookie coach!" Talk about awful. ???

I am! Did you read the thread? I just don't need SDS' patented drive by nonsense. The offense is bad, it's bad because of organizational choices, and there's a very good chance it costs us. That said, we can totally beat any AFC south scrubs.

And the first time we made the playoffs in this run we scored...*checks notes*...3 points. It's 2019 in a cap league where elite defenses can be held together for a couple of years before contracts break it all up. The league is built for offenses to win, and the teams with the best offenses win over a longer period than those with defenses. Because one player on offense means a lot more than one player on defense. I think they built the team backwards. If Allen becomes one if the greats it won't matter, but he's sure not there yet. Would you rather be the Chiefs or the Bills right now? The baseline shouldn't be two decades of complete organizational ineptitude, it should be teams that win consistently over an extended period of time.

My beef isn't with the players on offense, it's with the organizational decision making of the McBeane era that led to this collection of players being the best we can field right now.

All's well that ends well!

BOOOOOOOOOOO

NO! Requesting moderator presence in the Bills thread.

Game over.

Somewhere @SwampD still thinks John Brown is bad.

Nope, sorry. It's McClappy. One wink cannot possibly overcome all the clapping.

McDermott is good at what he wants to do. I don't think he's incompetent or anything (other than at game management), he's a good coach. I just don't think he's a great coach for the NFL in 2019.

I have nothing of substance to add, I just want to up my post count.

I know McDermott hates turnovers, but running Gore outside instead of Singletary is lunacy.

Team MVP Tre White! Oh so close.

Bring as mentally and emotionally damaged as a chunk of Buffalo sports fans is hardly something I think would contribute to winning.

This is the last thing I would wish on any of these players.

Combination of naturally conservative coach and a QB who can't hit a deep ball. But honestly, it's not a terrible move in this spot. Pittsburgh's offense is comically over matched.

Correct. But it's also a throw that a top flight NFL QB makes easier to catch. Blame to go 'round.

We've traveled back in time to 1999?

Fair. I'd obviously still rather have Mahomes, but Tre is a treasure. I love him to pieces. Favorite Bill since Fred Jackson. Separately, I think we could win this game without scoring another point. It's worth burning some sick time.

Josh Allen will NEVER score an easier TD.

No. Going for it was the right move even if we had Justin Tucker.

We're going to win. Ugly? I'd bet on it. But just win baby.
