TrueBlueGED Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 23 minutes ago, Eleven said: I'm not sure what Allen will or won't be, but I am sure of two things: (1) The team doesn't make the playoffs with some Darnold or Rosen or maybe even Mayfield or some other Joe; (2) He'll be better when John Brown isn't his number one receiver. Everyone else can rejoin the *****-fest. See you on Thursday. Rosen clearly stinks, but looking at what Tannehill has done away from Adam Gase, it's possible Darnold might be okay (though I remain highly skeptical of him). As for Mayfield, I have no idea what happened this season other than Kitchens was clearly so in over his head I though he might actually drown on the field. And though I certainly agree Brown isn't a #1, he was 7th among AFC WRs in yards this year in a weak passing offense. I think he's generally underappreciated just because he's not an ideal #1.

I'm shaking my head, conservative coaching across the board today. That fumble hurt. Watching belichik get po'd over rules techanalities is hilarious.

tom webster Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 Effie Ryan Tannehill is going to be two games away from a Super Bowl.
TrueBlueGED Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 I would like to personally thank Julian Edelman for dropping the easy 3rd down conversion, and Bill Belichick for inexplicably morphing into Doug Marrone and punting with a very real chance of never getting the ball back.

sodbuster Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 Well, this certainly takes some of the sting away.
TrueBlueGED Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 After the Bills game, I honestly thought I'd be emotionless if the Pats lost. A hollow victory. Nope, it's still a nice pick-me-up. Can Brady's career possibly end on back-to-back home losses to a team that tried to tank and the freaking Tannehill-led Titans? I don't think so. I mean, I so hope it does, but dude is too competitive to go out that way.

Brady retires. Bucs walk away from Jameis. Bill teaches him how to throw balls to guys wearing the same color jersey as him. <shudder>
SwampD Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 Pretty GD fun game to watch. Josh Allen is a joy to watch. Anyone blaming him for this loss is a moron. We need a real #1 receiver. Dabol is garbage. Just tackle someone, anyone. We’re close.

Agree with all this except not convinced Daboll is trash. 1 thing nobody has mentioned about this game is that had they won, Drane would have actually nailed a prophecy. Not sure that this team had quite the horses to overcome that sort of baggage. ?
Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 Interesting discussion on ESPN, the rules as written have the bills getting that opening half TD, rules state, the player must go to the ground/take a knee AND, not appear to advance the ball, not or. Though common sense looks otherwise, we technically got screwed. They use the example, if the end of the game, you are in victory formation, the QB gets the snap and just hands the ball to the official without kneeling, it's a live ball. Same applies here, he needed to kneel. The head official was correct in the initial call, and the other that ran onto the field changed his mind is what's being reported. Not that this is the reason we lost, but a TD there and the game is different. Officials aren't allowed to guess players' intent, which is what they did there. 2
PerreaultForever Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 I am hoping the Bills and Miami both get better and bring back the fun days of the past where that match up was consistently the game of the week to watch.

Scottysabres Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 It was an entertaining game. I enjoyed it. Was hoping they'd pull it out, but they did show me they are truly some experience and a couple pieces away from taking that next step. I think the Bills are definitely on the right path here. Allen Will be a year wiser next season, and very optimistic they'll have collected a couple of needed weapons for him. The defense is still young and should only get better as well. Disappointed they lost? Sure, hey, I'm a fan. But very optimistic and upbeat about their future. Go Bills! 1

Common sense says we don't deserve that touchdown, I'm partially with eleven, as that's a pretty bogus way to score. But just like the 99 finals, as silly as the rules are, it's the rule and we should have been up another TD there. 1
