I guess we have different definitions of outclassed. We don't belong on this field.
It was true when I said it. Obviously, things have gone downhill since.

Very cursory Google search says odds of making 4th and 10 are somewhat below 30%. Would the wind lessen that chance? The odds of making the field goal, even into the wind, would have to be higher than that (I think).
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.

I really don't think this has been a bad game from the Bills today. The Eagles have their holes as well.
I think I would call it pretty even?
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.

The Bills are getting worked by an NFC powerhouse. Don’t let their record fool you. The Bills have been winning close games against inferior opponents and a weak schedule. We are clearly not a contender yet. This is what happens when you face a real team. Our defense is not as elite as we think.
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.

Hot take of the day: if you take away the power play, Jimmy Vesey has been a more effective player than Victor Olofsson this year.
Show me why I’m wrong.
You're not wrong. But it's also not exactly complimentary.

I'm also irrationally anti-Bogosian. He's post-tank scum of the highest order.
It's not irrational to dislike a bad hockey player.

Schefter really doubling down. I think if he breaks Manning's records this year he might just retire
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.

Sanu is not worth a 2nd round pick
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.

Probably because Dahlin’s lead to goals.
Dahlin has been on the ice for a whopping 1 more goal against than Jokiharju.

I would die a happy man today if I heard rumors later on that Brady wants to come to Buffalo.
Think you'd be happy about the rumors? Just wait until the inevitable "we don't need Brady, we have Allen" arguments.

I can see Brady wanting to go somewhere else in order to stick it in Belichick's eye. It'd be consistent with his competitive nature - to show that he's the top dog. That said, I think it would probably be a mistake for him to do so.
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.

There have been rumblings of a power struggle between Brady, Belchick and Kraft over which one deserves credit for the team’s success. That could be playing into it.
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.

On GR this morning Jeremy reported that some analytics site has final record predictions for NFL teams. The Bills are to finish 11-5. "It's math," Jeremy said, contrasting with Howard's 13-3 eye test.
Can we at least agree that it's hogwash to say math can predict a football team's record? How many smart people have gone broke thinking that way?
Do you think that bookies don't use math when setting lines, including for season-long bets?

I've been thinking about this over the last couple of days.
I like Ehlers, and would've said yes immediately over before the season started, but they are 7 and freaking 2, with a number of quality wins, and they look great, and Risto is a huge part of all that. RK is leaning on him quite a bit.
I think I'm at the point where it needs to be more than Ehlers and maybe needs to be such a good offer that no one would make the offer.
And I'm definitely not trading Risto just to avoid healthy-scratching Scandy or sending down Joker, either of which would be only until someone else gets hurt.
You've done a complete 180 (or, well, I guess a 150 or so) because of 9 games? Irrational exuberance alert!
6 hours ago, 3putt said:Barring a trade Joker gets sent down. Yes he is playing well. Yes he is better than others on the right side. But he is still a young prospect with a bright future. You want him playing top minutes in all situations as opposed to sitting in the press box. Gilmore is well suited for that. Injuries will happen and he will be back. Marco is gone at the tdl no matter what as he is an expiring ufa with value. Pilut keeps Joker company waiting for the call. Not optimal, but better than selling low on players now just to alleviate the logjam. jmho.
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.

It’s OK to get the excited whenever your team wins.
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.

That is such hyperbole. The team was not in danger of losing. Geez.
This is where I had to stop. There's no way that's even autocorrect.
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 ??

Wow. Didn't expect some of these reactions.
Allen was fine. He overthrew a couple, but he was right on the money with many more. And no interceptions or fumbles, either.
Phillips was fine, too.
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.

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.
