In a passing league, drafting a run stuffer at #9 overall seems like a glorious waste. The run defense being a liability wouldn't matter in the slightest if the offense could score more than 2 TDs in a game. Sir, I say SIR. Do you think RB talent on this team is really a problem that we should spend assets on to address? Assets that could be used to upgrade the passing game? What, you think Singletary should get more designed runs than Josh Allen has designed QB sweeps? Heresy! Stop it! WR or bust.

We're on to Washington.

It was true when I said it. Obviously, things have gone downhill since.

It wasn't over when you said this, but it is over now.

We missed a similar length field goal with the wind, so yea, I don't think a 47 harder into it was a realistic option. Maybe if we had Justin Tucker.

Agreed. We're losing, but it's not like we're getting outclassed. Meanwhile, I'm stunned McDermott went for that. It was the right call, but still surprised.

I really don't think we're getting worked.

It didn't matter, but, yikes.

Seriously, just get Singletary the ball!

The Bills offense needs more Devin Singletary. Also, please trade for a WR.

I could do with fewer penalties, but that was a nice drive.

You're not wrong. But it's also not exactly complimentary.

It's not irrational to dislike a bad hockey player.

Well, he already has more yards and will possibly have more TDs after this year. Of course, he's also behind Brees in yards and will be in TDs if he retires. So he's not getting the records.

Sure he is. He's good for 60 catches and 800 yards, which is more than you're getting out of a typical 2nd round WR. Also, the value of time. Brady is 42 and the Patriots have the best defense in the league, but their receiving weapons are mediocre. Getting a starting WR is absolutely worth a late 2nd.

Dahlin has been on the ice for a whopping 1 more goal against than Jokiharju.

Think you'd be happy about the rumors? Just wait until the inevitable "we don't need Brady, we have Allen" arguments.

It would be a huge mistake unless he goes somewhere else that's really well-run (the Colts, for instance). I'm certainly not about to argue Brady is only great because of Belichick, but he definitely wouldn't have as many rings if he spent his career with even a merely good coach/GM.

Brady and Belchick are 1a and 1b. Kraft is like...30. Anyway, there's no way he goes to another team. Retire, maybe. But he's not jumping ship.

Sam Darnold tossing one of the worst QB performances I've ever seen at any level.

Do you think that bookies don't use math when setting lines, including for season-long bets?

You've done a complete 180 (or, well, I guess a 150 or so) because of 9 games? Irrational exuberance alert! This is the correct answer, minus the Marco gone at the deadline part. If we're in a playoff spot, or have a real shot at making it, I don't see the value in depleting defensive depth for a 4th round pick.

Correct. But to answer what Derrico was actually asking, I'd say you should be more optimistic the team is good than at any point during the streak last year. But give it another 12 games before the numbers have predictive value.

We were losing by 5 to start the 4th quarter. For an offense that couldn't do anything and a defense that was notably weaker than we're used to this season, we had a very real chance of losing. I think we're making the playoffs fairly comfortably, but we have to want more out of the QB than eking one out against one of the two worst teams in the league. Of course, you also think Trubisky is everything we want Allen to be, so I already know your bar for QB play is underground ??

If Allen was fine, we need higher standards for QB play. Miami is one of the worst defenses in the league and they lost their best defensive player on the first drive. We were a heroic Tre White effort from losing.
