Mondays are definitely much Monday-er after a Buffalo loss. There is a lot to unpack from yesterday's game. So, I am going to just get right to it.  Here are some of my thoughts about our week 17 loss to the Eagles: It is almost like the Defense read my blog last week and decided to prove me wrong, which I have no problem with! Our defense finally looked Super Bowl worthy- too bad our offense did not. Our defense held the Eagles to 82 rushing yards; and Hurts only had 108 passing yards. The Eagles only had 1 touchdown in the 1st quarter and 2 field goals in the 2nd quarter. In the second half, we held them to 17 yards and did not allow a completed pass by Hurts. The Eagles did not score any more points in the second half. I am not sure we could have asked for more from our defense against the reigning Super Bowl champs. Other than ma...

I am currently in South Carolina visiting my family for the first time since May. So, this post will be short since I am spending most of my time catching up with family and playing with my niece! Here are some of my reactions to barely beating the Browns in 16: I was definitely underwhelmed by Sunday's performance. However, I have had some time to cool down and have read the theories that Buffalo was not playing 100%. The more I think about this, I am starting to wonder if there is some truth to it. It really did look like both our offense and defense was just moving in slow motion at times. For our defense, there were so many missed tackles or (in my mind) weak tackles. There was also just some bad play reading by the defense. They allowed 317 yards total but did limit the Browns to 2 touc...

Disclaimer: I am a full time OBGYN and am in no way, shape, or form, a sport analyst or journalist. These are simply my reactions and thoughts. Wow, what a week! Between my oral boards and two straight second-half comeback wins, I’m pretty sure I’ve earned a few new grey hairs. For anyone curious about how you become a board-certified OBGYN- you complete four years of medical school, four years of residency, pass a written board exam, collect at least a year of clinical cases, then take your oral boards. Once you pass both board exams, you're fully certified. I chose to subspecialize in Maternal–Fetal Medicine (high risk pregnancy), so I’m doing three more years of training and will take two additional board exams to be double board-certified. It’s a long, crazy journey, but I truly love it. You know what else I love? When Josh Allen is Superman. Get ready for a Josh Allen appreciation post. Here are some of my reactions to week 15's comeback win against the Patriots: I said it...

  Disclaimer: I am a full time OBGYN and am in no way, shape, or form, a sport analyst or journalist. These are simply my reactions and thoughts. We survived a rollercoaster of a game and got to celebrate another victory Monday! And for the first time, Josh Allen beat Joe Burrow!  Here are some of my thoughts about week 14's snowy win against the Bengals: Anything is possible with Josh Allen. He had 3 touchdowns with no interceptions, plus an incredible 40-yard rushing touchdown. To top it off, he sealed the victory by rushing to convert a third and long. Can we talk about our tight ends for a moment? Dawson Knox had 6 receptions for 93 yards, with the longest being a 32-yard gain. Dalton Kincaid returned from a hamstring injury and had 4 receptions and a touchdown. Jackson Hawes even got involved again and had another touchdown. Unfortunately, James Cook had two fumbles in the red zone. This was very disappointing, but luckily we were able to make up for it and still secure a...

  Disclaimer: I am a full time OBGYN and am in no way, shape, or form, a sport analyst or journalist. These are simply my reactions and thoughts. I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful that I am writing another victory Monday post today!  Here are some of my thoughts about week 13's bounce back win against the Steelers: In typical Buffalo fashion, we had another rollercoaster of a week. We went from an embarrassing loss to the Texans, where our defense allowed over 250 yards, to a win against the Steelers. Not only did we win the game, but our banged-up defense stepped up. They only allowed 58 rushing yards and 117 passing yards. This is a huge improvement as compared to last week. Shaq Thompson (LB) led the team with 9 total tackles. He started this week due to Bernard being out with an elbow injury. I have seen some interesting stats that make me think Thompson should be the starter instead of Bernard. However, it is hard to have a fair comparison since Bern...
