FYI, add another one:

On one hand, I get it, Josh Allen never making a Super Bowl suggests there's something wrong with the team - but that could just be not having a good enough team, and / or running into perennial buzzsaws.

Realistically, if we fire a fourth to a third of the coaches every year, its hard to imagine anyone having any long term success - but here's another spot where the sport doesn't care about long term performance over average, we only care about the ~3% that win the Super Bowl each year.

Most coaches on bad teams certainly don't get much in terms of job security, but putting McDermott in that group doesn't add up for me, he had nearly a decade with the team, 8 with Allen.

Also, not only are the Bills keeping their GM, he's actually getting a promotion, when you could make the argument this is one of the worst versions of the team recently.

Bears should have gone for 2. Why chance what could happen in overtime?
Everyone is saying that but they were getting stopped on 3rd and 4th and shorts all game and the Rams offense was not doing well.

They got the ball in OT and should have won without a careless throw and amazing int.

GMs can't keep teams loaded with talent forever. McDermott is a shit coach that should've been fired after the 2021 season, after letting KC score in 13 seconds.

Big spot Sunday as Patriots look to go to the 12th Super Bowl of my lifetime. This NFL is not for the feint of heart.

2 point conversion requires one successful play.
Going to overtime requires both your offense and defense to be successful.

if a team in the playoffs hasn’t developed a play that is over 90 percent likely to score in that situation, well you get last nights outcome for the bears.
