OT 2026 NFL playoffs

This was ruled a touchdown but by the time he made a football play or held onto the possession, he was out of bounds

 
Looks like Josh Allen’s poor performance contributed to firing of Sean McDermott which was just announced.
Josh Allen’s poor performance is only because his team is poor. I think the GM should have been fired they gave him nothing to work with of any impact on offense. They were only there because of Josh period, they guys the best in football.

I got a text from my son this morning letting me know McDermott got fired. I responded "they should have fired the GM that put together a team that expects the QB to do everything". He responded "they promoted him". My response was "brilliant move".

Buffalo was horrible for a decade and a half before McDermott got there, they've been a playoff team almost every year since, starting before Allen arrived. If they're going to say it's time to move on from him, they should also move on from the GM.
 
It's looking like the Patriots may be Super Bowl champs without ever even having to play anyone.

I'm used to Ben Johnson always going for it on 4th down instead of taking the points but his playcalling last night was ridiculously bad and worse than I've seen it all season.

Really good first season for him but I would not at all be surprised if he's Matt Nagy 2.0
They just played two very good teams and will face another this weekend. The Patriots beating them doesn’t make them bad. Everyone picked Houston. Now Houston was bad? Sure Jan. All three have among the best 5 defenses in the NFL, as do the Seahawks. Rams defense is playing well now too.

Chargers players said they had no idea what New England was doing on defense. Everything was so well disguised and constantly changing. It was obvious that Houston and Stroud couldn’t figure it out either. Credit where due. They have a healthy defense for the first time in months.
 
I saw a reel that listed the WRs Allen has had the last 3 seasons. It was not impressive. And Keon Coleman was a bust of a pick.
Worst WR room in the division by far. Shakir is ok as a slot guy but without Kincaid they have almost nothing. Can’t believe they drafted Coleman, he had bust all over him. Big slow contested catch guys don’t beat NFL defenses. The defense isn’t what it was either. Terrible drafting.

The one thing I heard about Coleman was he had 4 routes in his route tree. Relies on size and mismatch. That has shown through a thousand times over. Every catch is some jump ball type that happens maybe once a game.

I’m not sure about very good teams, solid maybe but neither were anything to concern yourself with. Stroud hasn’t been any good since his rookie year and Herbert had no line to help him at all. Having said that the coaching staff for NE did a great job finding ways to make sure both QBs never got comfortable. Vrabel is very good, he and Maye are huge. No Nix next game is another gift you have to admit, but the facts are you still have to win the games and the Pats are a really good team there’s no denying that. And timing is a wonderful thing.

There are no great teams. Buffalo wasn't better than Houston. Nor are the no defense 49ers. Bears are not as good as Houston and about on par with Chargers. There are three teams with significant PF/PA +/- (over +170) in the NFL. Seattle, LA Rams and New England. Denver was +90. The Jags were actually 4th best at +138, Houston +109. Eagles were +54 despite playing in a terrible division. The whole NFC south was negative. Denver played the second easiest schedule to New England's.
 
What a Woody Johnson thing to say.
I get why he did it, the fans and media are all complaining that they promoted the GM that has been responsible for many bad drafts, including prominently, the miss on Coleman, while firing McDermott. So the owner is saying that McDermott drove those bad draft decisions, but calling out a player on your current roster as a bust is really next level stupid.

Booger McFarland talked about how uncomfortable this makes it for Keon to continue playing for the Bills. It also calls into question the leadership pointing fingers.
 
The Bills circus continues to wind down a weird road. They're interviewing Philip Rivers for their head coaching position.

Why on god's green earth would you give the job to a guy who's never coached a day in his life? You have prime Josh Allen drying up on the vine and the fact you're even thinking about this as an option would scare the heck out of me if I'm a Bills fan.

I agree that it sounds bizarre to interview a guy who only coached at HS level. Perhaps it’s only to get his opinion on improving the offense. It’s also bizarre to interview McDaniel after he took Charger’s OC job.

It has to be Daboll at this point…doesn’t it?

You'd think so. So why are there stories like this coming out?

You were right about the Jets keeping Glenn. We can't even get an interview with a DC right now, if we were in the search for a head coach, we'd get the 9th or 10th best option out there.
 
Personally, this is my favorite day of NFL Football.

My rooting interests align with my older sister-in-law (Broncos) and her husband (Seahawks). Both from Montana.

Seems like it's gonna be Wink Martindale. Which I am ok with but it will be interesting to see how his personality fits with Glenn.

I count this as the last week of real football. Home field, the conditions and real football fans at the game.

The superbowl has become way too commercialized for my own liking and I'll still watch it but when it's catered to celebrities and non sports people it's not the same IMO.
 
As much as I like outdoor football in real weather, I’m glad the Patriots aren’t at home today. I honestly don’t think they could have played. Players could play but putting 70,000 people on the roads would be a disaster. Peak snow comes right around kickoff.

Both games should be good, close and competitive. Rooting for Patriots and the Rams. I was a Rams fan as a young kid. Pat Haden, Jack Youngblood, Nolan Cromwell, those teams. Then my dad took me to a Patriots game in the mid 70s and the Rams became my #2.
 
Some of these coaches just can't help themselves. Take the fg and go up 10-0, now momentum has completely flipped and you are in a tied game with a backup qb.
 
Sean Payton had a chip shot field goal to go up 10-0 with his backup QB who hasn't played in 3 years and a bunch of other starters out and he goes for it. He's calling this game like he has an all-pro QB in the game.

Just braindead ego coaching. Not even giving your team a chance when you have full control of the game with your backups playing.

The NFL is getting harder and harder to watch. I've just about lost all interest. Going to watch something on Hulu instead of watching the second half.
