  1. Past hour
  2. Stadium food does nothing for me, but if the conversation ever veers in the direction of the big breasted girl in the concession stand on the fry-o-lator, count me in
  3. I mean it was pretty widespread that Williams was the #1 and Daniels was #2 according to the talking heads and the way the draft ended up but I appreciate the sarcasm. I’m always a fan of a good humbling
  4. Oh so now mtg isn't bat ***** crazy? Oh ok.
  5. Just curious, what metric are you using to evaluate coaches? Sure, the Pats look good this year...but how is Vrabel (in your opinion) an obviously better coach than McDermott? Mike Vrabel 8 years as head coach. 65-47 reg season (.580%). Three (will soon be four) playoff appearances in 8 years. 2-3 in the playoffs (.400%). Two first round playoff losses (in three tries). 1 AFC Champ game appearance. Sean McDermott 9 years as head coach. 94-49 reg season (.657%). Seven (will soon be eight) playoff appearances in 9 years. 7-7 in the playoffs (.500%). Two first round playoff losses (in seven tries). 2 AFC Champ game appearances. Now of course the response will be...yeah, but Sean has had Josh. Fair enough. But let me counter with. (1.) Sean did not have Josh in year one, and Josh was not Josh in year two or year three of McD's tenure. So, he has had prime Josh for 6 years, not 9 years. (2.) While no one is going to compare Ryan Tannehill to Josh (other than that they were chosen 7th and 8th overall in the draft their respective years), he was not a horrible QB (average). BUT, Vrabel did also have a generational talent on his team in a prime Derrick Henry. Despite missing 9 games in 2021, Henry still averaged (AVERAGED) 1,576 yards from scrimmage and 14 TDs/year while Vrabel was his coach. Now, of course, QB is still the more important position, but having Henry sure does balance things out a bit. Taking QBs out of it for the moment, well, they are both defensive coaches right? So, let's look at how their defenses have fared. Here are their team's defensive rankings for both yards against and points against. Vrabel McDermott Yds against Pts against Yds against Pts against 20 32 26 18 8 3 2 18 21 12 3 2 28 24 14 16 12 6 1 1 23 14 6 2 18 16 9 4 7 5 17 11 8 13 Average Rankings: Vrablel: Yards Against: 17.1; Points Against: 14.0 McDerm: Yards Against: 9.5; Points Against: 9.4 And if you are curious on the offensive rankings in their tenures, well: Vrabel: Yards for: 18th; Points for: 16th. McDerm: Yards for: 12th; Points for 10th. And again, the Pats look very good this year, no doubt. But can they maintain that? Many coaches can come in and make a difference right away (just because a culture change was needed), but can they continue to play at the level they are now as the message gets stale, as they have to pay Maye big money, as Free Agency and age starts gnawing at their roster. I do think Vrabel is a very good coach and he might be able to weather those storms (it does help when you have your QB), but again, I ask you, by what metric are you saying that he is a better coach than Mcdermott? There isn't a stat in his favor at the moment, other than their record this year---3 more wins than the Bills, but also having played one extra game---and they have the head-to-head this year...but we'll face them again, at least once more. And if we win while the Pats are on BYE and then we win the rematch, the Pats will only be one game ahead of us. I just think that there is a lot of "the grass is greener" mentality amongst Bills fans right now. Yet as we know, that is usually not the case.
  6. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/steelers-claim-adam-thielen-on-waivers steelers!!! No!!!
  7. He's really good but I think buffalo is going to outclass the pats big time in a couple weeks. No , he's not on Allen's level
  8. Voted for White and Milano. They are the youngest and have been core Bills players. The best choices are Bosa and Thompson I guess, their impact is the easiest to see but I have voted on age and sentiment.
  9. Steelers/ravens is always a good game. Both teams are going to be up for that one.
  10. Bills at Pats to stay at 1:00. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/long-awaited-scheduling-update-on-patriots-bills-week-15-game/ar-AA1RzL5C?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=U531&cvid=692f5a15319c4909aeb6adfb9d77af1c&ei=13
  11. Drone strikes on designated terrorists 101: 1) Every mission executed by a long-range/long-duration UAV with a Hellfire missile is - in fact - a “kill mission.” By the nature of the attack, no capture is ever planned for or even possible. 2) Re-attacks of partially-destroyed targets is the rule, not the exception. The physical status of possible survivors is not part of the consideration with stand-off weapons. This has been the norm under both Republican and Democrat administrations since the first Hellfire was mounted on a Predator years ago. Anyone who tells you otherwise, is lying or ignorant. The method is ugly, no doubt about it, but there’s nothing new here except politics.
  12. Sean Payton's a good offense mind so I doubt he ever sees the field unless there's cluster injuries at the position.
  13. You're an idiot and as usual, have no idea what you're talking about.
  14. Disagree. I don't think KC will leapfrog us in the seeding, and I want as many teams as possible in the playoffs as can beat New England, even if that means we somehow have to play KC again. I would rather end up losing to KC again rather than New England even get to the championship game. Of course I want us to win it all, but just saying.
  15. I have only attended a limited number of games over my life and never once felt the need to consume food or drink during a game.
  16. When you find yourself uttering that sentence unsarcastically........just know it means you are talking about a dumb player. In Elijah Moore's last game as a Buffalo Bill........two passes intended for him resulted in interceptions. That's who he is. I hope Denver figures it out because the way you use him is you throw it where he's supposed to be and then the other team catches it because even they know that's where he was supposed to be.
  17. Say the Bills get the #6 seed who would you want to win the AFCS since it's a good bet the winner of that division will be the #3 seed. Playing at Houston has been a house of horrors for the Bills. I don't like the Bills run defense against JT so I will take my chances with the Bills playing the Jaguars if they end up in the #3 vs #6 matchup. It looks like NE and DEN will fight it out for the #1 and #2 seeds.
  18. Steelers - Ravens is gonna be a woofer. I’d rather see Jags - Colts, which I may be forced to do if the Bills crap the bed.
  19. He also has some solid, proven receivers.
  20. Oh yes he will have bad games, every QB has that one or two games where it’s just tough.. I think he will be fine.. he has great poise and he played well last year on a crap team unable to win. i disagree this O is Drake Maye and his accuracy and ability deliver an amazing deep ball.. an average QB with no real run game wins maybe 7 games so far.. still an improvement but his ability with Macdaniels as OC brought this O from pure garbage to I think a top 10 O. Come playoffs I don’t know what will happen, but as long as he plays like he can the games should be close and fun..
  21. ….did you make it in time???
  22. I think he definitely has superstar potential as he’s an accurate thrower to all 3 levels with good arm strength, size, and mobility. I don’t think he’s had a real superstar performance (yet) though. Never thrown for 300 yards or had more than 3 total TDs and has never put the team on his back in a close win. Best team he’s beat by far is the Bills in week 5 in a game where he had zero TDs and they still needed a game winning FG despite the Bills turning it over 3 times. I think we’ll learn a lot about if he has that “it” factor in the playoffs this year and against a first place schedule next year.
  23. James Cook was paid last because he was trying to be paid as much as superstars Derrick Henry and Jonathan Taylor. That's top 3-4 money for the position. But Cook hadn't produced anywhere near their level. Particularly not with regard to workload. Prior to this season Cook was part-timer compared to those guys. The other Bills players extended were offered deals that were nowhere near the top of their respective positions. They accepted them. I'm plenty critical of Beane for his contract/pro personnel work but how is getting James Cook to prepare all offseason like he was going to have to max out his production in 2025 to get paid perceived as a bad thing? What it did was increase the likelihood of getting at least one season where Cook was in peak condition physically and focused mentally. Just like extending Ed Oliver in summer got that one season out of him where he actually played close to his potential. Dangling the carrot until the hay is in the barn is good business.
