I actually lost sleep last night because I can’t stop thinking about that snap fumble for a TD. What the hell? How many times does a QB fumble a snap in the NFL? The most fundamental, basic part of the game. Something you learn in peewee football.
I’m done for a few weeks, at least. I need to separate myself from this team. I’ve never let sports impact my life outside of watching games, but after 13 seconds, the the blown Jets game and now this, I need a new activity on Sunday for awhile.

Buffalo has been selling an inferior product to their fanbase for over 50 years, yet they will charge the same amount for merchandise and tickets as the Patriots.
Time to move on. JA is the franchise, not McD, not Dorsey, not Frazier. If this team is going to be rescued, it is going to require people who can make Josh successful. The coaching staff has got to go.

Just like they used to show the Josh Allen's redzone success statistic last season - and then he went in a slump!
Thanks, jerks!

What the Bills came up with blew my mind!

Its much harder now expecting them to win only to consistently self destruct.
I'm just frustrated right now. I probably should be doing something more productive on sundays.

Frazier is a chicken
McD is a moron. Horrible game day coaching. Guy needs to look in he mirror.
This is the same old Bills. They will win 11-12 games and break our hearts in the playoffs again

I mean nobody is going to get fired even though they lost right? Right.
No but they lost the #1 seed if they go into the playoffs as the 5 their odds of making the bowl decline dramatically and they could get people fired. [Reply]

I’m sure he was cleared to play by all physical measures. It is the coach’s job to decide if it’s worth it. And I don’t see how it is. I’d Rather have a fully healthy arm on a qb with a lower playoff seed than a bye week with a qb playing at 80%
I was directly addressing the not so subtle implication of this comment. Its nonsense.

Josh Allen's elbow blowing up on the field because they lied or even downplayed the risk would cost way way way more jobs. [Reply]

There is an entire history of the NFL of team doctors not being 100% honest with players and telling them things that benefit the team, this shit has been covered over and over and over, we just gonna ignore it now? [Reply]

More recently, I read that Mac Jones was looking for a second opinion because he felt the team was rushing him back from injury prematurely.
Most recently we saw it with Tampa. And I can’t believe more hasn’t been said of what Bruce arians did. Crazy as AB is, it seems likely he was strongly encouraged to play. Gronk was playing with broken ribs, fournette totally unnecessarily playing through a hurt hammy, godwin hurting himself through ill advised sideline sprints

It could sure, but it's a chance...what if you are McDermott and you basically think this is it,if you don't win it this year you're gone. You just gonna make decisions for 3 years from today when you won't be around? [Reply]

Well, let’s not forget that we’re a few weeks removed from a doctor getting lobbed directly under the bus for the dolphins playing tua. I suspect these doctors are mostly responsible for giving the best information on the risk and it’s up to the teams to decide. I agree with you they aren’t slanting the diagnosis. But i suspect their threshold for clearing players is very low. It has to be given how many 50/50 decisions there are about clearing a player to play. [Reply]

Have we heard the result of the investigation into the Tua episode? Aside from speculation is there evidence he actually had a concussion the first time?
My overall point is Allen signed a 6 year $258 Million contract, they aren't risking his future over the Vikings game.
This isn't 1985 and players aren't playing for peanuts. Does anyone believe Andy Reid would take that risk? [Reply]

Definitely think McDermott has enormous pressure to win a ring in the next couple years. They have maybe the best roster in the league. At some point the coach has to be held responsible for coming up short. [Reply]

The Chiefs sat Mahomes in a similar position...
Reid doesn't feel the pressure McDermott does. [Reply]
Lol, we've all been in their shoes. Some more than others. Hilarious deja vu posts of the dimwits that want to fire their coaching staff over one out-of-conference loss. Sounds very familiar [cough cough]. [Reply]
Something that jumps out at me is Allen takes insane chances with the ball with high level receivers...what happens when he doesn't have those guys? Is he gonna throw 30 picks being aggressive? [Reply]
