Very odd timing with all this Diggs & Barmore drama on the eve of the playoffs. Hopefully it all blows over & if need be gets dealt with post playoffs.
We can’t afford to lose Diggs.

A couple of off field distractions that we could well have done without.
Disappointing to read ...... ( polite version )....... I can never get my head around why SO many NFL players, do really dumb shit like they do, that potentially puts their careers at risk.
It's like tearing up a winning lotto ticket.
Ego, entitlement. I’ve been waiting for Diggs to slip, I really hope this isn’t it.

The contrasting statements from NE was telling. Think the Diggs stuff will blow over but Barmore might have a problem...

What a fantastic season we have witnessed, who would have thought 14-3 would be on the cards at the start of the season.
Kudos to Hand Job Bob for making the necessary hard call on Mayo.
I was pissed at the time that Mayo got the nod as it was effectively a fake process of pretending to go through the full interviewing process,including skipping the Rooney Rule by the very fact that Mayo got the job, I wanted Vrabel as he was a proven and successful Coach, anyway enough on that as it worked out that way eventually.
Looks like we have the best QB under the age of 24 and our QB of the future.
Will be interesting to see how far we advance, as much as I would love us to go all the way, realistically I will be thrilled if we win a couple of play off games.
Right at the moment I am seeing a:
V
Super Bowl with the Seahawks taking care of the Donkeys easily.
We have a lot to look forward to in the years to come as our immediate future is looking very bright.

I know it was just Miami but Stevenson was unreal tonight. The way he was running upright full of steam reminded me of peak Derrick Henry - credit to him for bouncing back from the fumble issues.
Good to have Milton Williams back for the playoff push. Fully fit Williams, Landry and Spillane will be a huge boost.

That was one ugly as fu(k win...... but a win is a win.
Would be nice if the OL could have kept Maye upright more often, gee it was sack central in this game both QB's got hammered.
That said our D played very well, thats actually not as surprise as they have been good most of the season and have been very underrated.
Very happy that we now have a post season win to our name.
Also enjoyed all the salty bitchy posts from the haters in other threads, commenting on the game and our performance.
We have pissed the Haters off big time, by having been able to bounce back much quicker than they were either hoping for, or expecting.
Whilst we still have a lot to do to elevate this team to becoming a regular contender, you would have to say that this season has been a spectacular start in the rebuild.
As Kraft himself said of the Patriot Haters " jealousy and envy are an incurable disease".
Scrappy game but with a pleasing result.

Was rapt with the D. As much as their O line has been ravaged with no Alt/Slater, to hold Herbie & a talented offense to 3 pts on the back of silver platter opportunity from a bad Drake pick, says alot abt how much of a difference Milton, Landry & Spillane makes to our D.
Drake needs to undsrstand to look after the ball better in a collapsing pocket & to minimise giving free points away. Just gotta bridge that gap between his best & worst moments.
Still very happy we’ve got a post season win when it was never on my radar early on but the expectations are higher now & think we should be getting to the AFC game now if we tidy it up.

Awesome dub today.
That'll get rid of most of the doubters.
Defense was solid af and we did all the basics right.
Some story this will be if we win it all but I believe the Bills will take us out, hopefully im wrong.

The Stevenson redemption arc continues. Thought he was our MVP on the offensive side of things. I'm sure Drake will learn a lot from his first playoff game, but good to get away with a few iffy snaps.
Honestly, I was bit underwhelmed by the D-line in the first half. I thought Herbert didn't face a lot of pressure and had time to throw, but he just couldn't make the play (credit to the back-end of the defence) there. We had the goal-line stand but otherwise I thought the Chargers were stiff not to be in front at the half. I was thinking back to the trade deadline and us not making a move for a DE, and how it was showing up in the biggest game of the year, but then they killed Herbert in the second half. Well done to the coaching staff.
Hopefully it was a case of dust and cobwebs for Wilson, and the O-line bounces back next week against what will be a tough Pit/Hou D-line.
