The Buffalo Bills survive one of the wildest games of the NFL season, escaping SoFi Stadium with a 37-34 overtime victory and a 4-1 record. James Cook's OT fumble, a miraculous blocked field goal, and…

And I get so sick and tired of the entire NFL lathering up Sean McVay and licking his boots every chance that they get.

I'm not saying he's not a good head coach, but boy, to act as though he has never made a mistake, and that this is Boy Wonder, and that because he can memorize every single play that's ever been called for him or against him or by him, this guy has no flaws.

They went up and down the field in the second half of that game in overtime, and when they got in a field position, field goal position, they turtled, waiting for seemingly the setup for the game-winning field goal, and it came back to bite them.

But once they were driving after the Cook fumble, I thought it was over, 'cause I thought, "They'll do the same exact thing they've done the last three drives," which is go right down the throat of the Bills and score a touchdown, and not even let it come to a field goal attempt.

That was a remarkable Houdini-esque escape, and thank goodness because it could feel so much worse with the way that game was trending.


Secondly, and I, I don't, I don't want to focus on the negative here because the Bills found a way, and on a day where Josh was not that great through the air and multiple things did not kind of break their way, in some ways it was their own doing, Josh's legs, Josh's mobility, Josh's play-making found a way by hook or crook to win.

And they went to LA and put up 37 points and walked out with a victory, and are now four and one.

Even though they walk out of there with a dub, and I'm so glad they did, I don't know how Jim Leonard can walk into work tomorrow and not feel at some type of pressure level 100, some type of pressure, urgency, despair, frustration, anger, embarrassment.

There's gotta be a, a bunch of that because those drives in the fourth quarter, those drives were nothing short of humiliating to the Bills defense.

Okay? And we cannot simply kind of just look at the W here and the, the, the way that they won and how great a game it was and how crazy a game it was and not kind of focus on this just because it's uncomfortable.
