  1. Past hour
  2. Sabres win again! Nice win beating Toronto! Guess who’s in 3rd place in the Atlantic this morning?
  3. The renovations could be directly paid for by the Biden's foreign influence business profits, that we already know that they know is clean as a whistle money, and leftists would still be melting down because: Orange Menace TDS.
  4. Their hands are not tied. What you're saying is the exact reason McDermott says what he says every time Hairston is brought up. They aren't going to change their development plans for a valuable long term piece bc fans are panicking. Dorian Strong had all of the Training Camp, all of the Pre-Season, and the week leading up to Week 1. Strong was a 1 week start of necessity before returning to the bench and was deemed ready. Maxwell Hairston has had half of a Training Camp, a knee injury, rehabilitation, and 3 practices. He needs at least a couple weeks of Practice and an ease in, ramp up when he first sees the field. If you listen to McDermott, it's clear. That's what they're going to do. He's healthy. But he needs time before they just throw him in the fire. Had he not been hurt, Tre would have started as a bridge and they would have eased Hairston in. The same thing will happen here. The injury was just a pause. Again, fan impatience and panic over Tre is not going to change their development plan. They need to make sure he's ready physically and mentally for the load. Pushing him too hard too soon could ruin him.
  5. He’s shown on camera a couple times a year going up and down the defense hyping them up.
  6. He was getting outpaced by Quinn Early early on. How could anyone forget Quinn Early? This shows that sometimes players take time to develop, which is acceptable during a rebuild. We need guys who can contribute immediately, not potentially in 2027. Also, in the age of social media, we see more of Coleman’s personality, like showing up all iced up and then catching 3 passes, while no one knew what Moulds was really like.
  7. Usually I would disagree that they push a rookie CB unless he’s showing it to be a no brainer but the hands are tied. CB play all around isn’t good, Benford included. Double down with Dorian Strong getting the start week 1 makes me feel the team and fans shouldn’t simply be patient for Hairston to hit the field. As soon as he’s healthy he has to be out there.
  8. Today
  9. Money plays a factor. Can’t pay the guys who hit the free agent market. Milton Williams, Kinlaw or Johnathon Allen would have been a nice addition.
  10. Actually agree with that. Team glue guys are fundamental to a team. Not saying there isn’t one on it right now but if there is it’s certainly hard to distinguish who…
  11. Yeah, smashed in the 6th. Very rarely turn a WS game off but that was it. 9 runs to end the inning is brutal. Not good showing by Snell.
  12. Bruce Lee, baby.
  13. I was kind of thinking along the same lines. No question the run defense has been horrible and needs to be fixed (I do think it should get at least somewhat better as the year rolls on), but where/when have they been bad and why. The Bills actually held the Jets and Pats both below their season team rush averages and Rhamondre Stevenson had his worst showing of the year, while Breece Hall had his 2nd worst showing on the year (though Justin Fields added some yards) vs. the Bills. So, the run defense was pretty good in these games (via very general statistics). Vs. Miami, the Bills did allow the Phins to top their season average, but the run defense wasn't awful. Achane had only his 4th best showing (of 7 games). Then there were the other three games: BAL: Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson both had their best rushing totals on the year. Buffalo gave up 238 yards, more than double Baltimore's season average (of course, Lamar has missed a couple of games now too). The next closest defenses to allow Baltimore a lot of rushing yards were K.C. who gave up 166 rush yards and the LA Rams who gave up 179 rush yards to the Ravens. NO: Kamara had his second best game of the year vs. the Bills. And Rattler and Kendre Miller both had their best rushing efforts on the year (adding a combined 114 rush yards). Bills allowed the Saints to rush well over their season average for their best production on the year. ATL: Bijan also had his best game of the year vs. the Bills. He did almost all of the damage for the Falcons. They too had significantly more rushing yards vs. the Bills than their season average. Only one team has allowed more rushing yards to the Falcons than the Bills (Minnesota). NoSaint does have an interesting point, this by no means excuses the defense (they gave up the yards, they tackled poorly, etc.), but in each of the three games that the run defense got torched, the offense kind of stalled after their first score(s). The 2nd quarter has been a dead zone for the offense this year. In their last three games, they have scored 3 points total (combined) in the 2nd quarter. Over 4 of their games (Bal, NO, All, and NE), they have scored 9 points combined in the 2nd quarter (2.25 points on average): vs. Baltimore: After scoring their first TD, the Bills offense had 4 possessions with 21 plays over 28:31 minutes of game time and came away with 6 points (2 punts/2 FGs). While over the same span, Baltimore scored 27 points, taking a large lead and being able to just run the ball sitting on the lead. vs. New Orleans: After two TDs on their first two drives, the Bills offense went cold. They had 4 possessions with 15 plays over 19 minutes of game time and the results were: 0 points---Interception, 2 punts, end of half. This allowed NO to stick around and continue to run the ball. vs. Atlanta: After an initial TD on their first drive, the Bills offense went 5 possessions with 19 plays, over 22 minutes of game time and came away with 0 points (4 punts and an interception). This allowed Atlanta to take the lead and continue to pound the ball. So, the offense probably should hold a little blame as well. Complimentary football. Also, how much of it is just that we struggle with good/big backs (playing nickel/being under-sized): Henry, Robinson, Kamara, Miller. How much do running QBs weigh in to our issues: Lamar, Rattler, and Fields all got their yards. How much is defensive personnel and execution (again, under-sized or bad tackling) part of the problem? Not really coming to any conclusions or solutions here, just trying to take at a broader picture of it. What do you guys think? Could there also be a bit of attitude involved? After a 4-0 start did the Bills think they could kind of coast through the regular season? The whole team looked flat vs. NO, and they couldn't seem to match the Falcons intensity in Atlanta. And those were two of our three poor showings in run defense (and obviously, overall as a team). I don't know, but the bye week couldn't have come at a better time for either some tweaking of scheme and/or personnel and maybe an attitude/intensity adjustment.
  14. Hate to say it but we can all remember when Brady and the Pats would be up by 14-21 points or so and Brady would still be losing his sh!+ on the sideline after a bad series. It would be nice to see that in Josh once in a while. Like when Diggs was going full ###### on him and he turned the other cheek. I didn't like how he just took that. Yeah, yeah...Spare me the "That would've looked bad" At least he wouldn't have looked like he got poned He said publicly that it was his sports psychologist's advice
  15. They brought Ryan Neilsen in, yea. Allegedly to help with their pressure packages.
  16. Milano simply doesn't play. Tre White cant play well. Milano has missed 39 games since the start of 2023 and Tre had missed 31. The Bills front office is foolhardy with these repeated decisions
  17. “The people who cared about rioters destroying historical artifacts don’t care about a planned construction project where historical artifacts were removed and preserved beforehand😡”
  18. Oh, it's absolutely a possibility. It sucks the injury happened, especially when it happened bc it paused his development - which was always going to be an ease in process with White being a bridge. That's what people aren't understanding when it comes to Hairston. Yes, his development was paused. But they aren't going to change their plans and push him beyond what they feel he's ready for bc he missed time or because White is struggling and fans are impatient. But he absolutely could become a stud. We just have to be patient.
  19. Nobody I've ever loved, ever hurt me like you did What a lack of feeling I've got a hole in my heart
  20. That’s another problem with this coaching staff. They make their offensive and defensive schemes so difficult that an acquired player can’t just come in and play. Case in point was Amari Cooper last season. Now, Rasual Douglas did come in and immediately play well but he may be an outlier.
  21. Disagree, respectfully. Sure, a PRIME Tyreek Hill is preferred to MOST alternatives tbh. That's no secret. And when that was combined with a PRIME Kelce, watch out. But the current group includes the kinds of RAC and speed traits that Reid is amazing at scheming for. Rice is a beast for what KC wants him to be, which is a big, fast, strong weapon who gets the ball in motion and matriculates it aggressively up the field. Hollywood Brown is a fast and ballsy undersized threat on slants and curls and fades alike. Worthy is a speed merchant who lacks physicality but does seem to have some moxy and compete nonetheless. Smith-Schuster is the perfect possession complement to that group, and they still have the dumb, effective ghost of Travis Kelce. Plus Thornton and Remigio offer depth. Brown, Worthy, and Rice is a STRONG starting WR group for Andy Reid. He loves to attack horizontally and vertically, with tons of pre- and post-snap motion, and those dudes can do that.
