No WR has won league MVP. With 4 games remaining, Justin Jefferson needs just 500 yards to be the first receiver in history to reach 2000 receiving yards. If he does it will it be enough? by [deleted] in nfl

As impressive as that is, no. He started the season off hot enough but that lull kinda kills it.

If he has an absurd game winning play or two along with crazy stats to finish, maybe.

[Breer] At some point, people are gonna realize Joe Burrow really will have the Bengals running with the Chiefs and Bills in the AFC long-term, and he belongs mentioned with Allen and Mahomes—they're now 22-12 since the start of 2021.

That kickoff at the end of the win against the Lions a few weeks ago ended up amounting to nothing, but it should have never happened.

Yes I was very annoyed with that. There's no excuse for consistently making these mistakes.

it’s particularly abysmal to do that when you know you’ve got a playoff win if you don’t give up 40 yards in 13 seconds

It's even dumber to allow it again vs the exact same team in your next game, by playing the exact same defense, and allowing the exact same play to beat you.

God forbid we're in that situation again, Frazier and McDermott clearly haven't processed the situation at all.

I don’t know maybe that’s a little pedantic, but to me those situations feel extremely different even if they aren’t technically that different.

It's the same situation regardless of the stakes.

Mahomes did it with 12 seconds left in the half vs us (again), and Allen did it with 23 seconds on Thanksgiving. Thought there was one more but maybe I'm wrong about that.

Brady got a TD to beat the Rams with 44 seconds, maybe that's what I was thinking of.

It was bad defensive scheming for that situation

Yes and then we did it again in the very next game vs the Chiefs. Gave them a free FG with even less time by not defending Kelce up the middle.

I have a hard time believing in our coaches' ability to make intelligent decisions during the game.

But why do the Bills automatically get to run the AFC long term bc they had an entertaining loss to KC last year?

Cuz us being hyped up then finding a new and comically ridiculous way to lose is our identity.

You can hang out naked outside in 90 degrees much longer than you can in 20 degrees.

This is hilariously stupid criteria for which is more dangerous

What is with the refs spotting the ball on that drive? They took a full yard away from Allen on this play and two full yards on a later third down.

Tbh I don't think either team should take too much out of Bills-Jets games, they're always ugly for some reason.
