But you have enough interest to complain on this forum. Did it make you feel better? 😆 How can you think of restaurants at a time like this? 😊 I thought we were all sick of watching there Bills "playing with their food." I'm not sure if you guys are right. I'm not sensing the same thing. I'm not saying that they're gonna play well but I'm not sensing that the team is treating this like just another week. Realistically Pegula isn't gonna fire McBeane because of 1) the goodwill they've accumulated for turning the team into a perennial contender 2) the opening of the new stadium. The most we can hope for is a change in the OC and DC... that we can Buddy Ryan our way into a Super Bowl win with McDermott playing the part of a meek-mannered Ditka. It's not only alcoholics who have that saying. 🤣

I think he needs to go be the Panthers QB coach first and then he can be hired as the OC for the Bills.

This ain't gonna happen. No one is giving Brady a HC gig. Still, he needs to go , along with McDermott, and Daboll needs to return.

Given his age, and his type of injury, the fact Diggs came back so quickly to play at the level he is right now is pretty remarkable. He's been a full go since TC, and that was just 10 months removed his ACL tear. He is the leading receiver for NE and is on pace for another 1,000 yard season. Good for him. Yes, his time was done here. He had become as much a detriment to the locker room as he was prior to being jettisoned by Minnesota. The difference is Minnesota was able to flip our pick into Justin Jefferson. Our pick ended up becoming another defensive lineman.

Lindy Ruff was always a soft coach with soft teams. He might have been hard on his players trying to put round pegs into triangle holes building a team of all jochen hechts, but players started tuning him out decades ago. The Ottawa incident was an aberration and revises everyone's memory of Ruff (that was almost 20 years ago!). Ruff was notorious for "taking the powerplay" or "letting the league handle it". I remember things like lucic stomping a hole in Miller, and Scott Gomez getting away with purposely injuring Miller too. I remember everyone wanting him out in the early 2000s. Almost a quarter century ago, yet here he is. Ah, the life of a sabres fan.

In what metrics? Don’t think that is true for yards per attempt. Td percentage, int percentage.

LAC - $17.0M Good post but Diggs is not still a superstar in this league. Except for a few posters here, it's not talked about much but it bears mention again... the ability of this team to manage personalities. When it comes to high maintenance players who cause distractions and drama, it's said that a star player will be tolerated while a roster filler will be cut. As some here like to say, the juice has to be worth the squeeze but on every NFL team there's an aspect of tolerating talented headaches in the name of keeping that talent rostered. Without really knowing, my gut feeling is that the leadership on the Bills, whether GM, Head Coach, player or non-player simply isn't strong enough to manage personalities like Diggs. When you watch some Head Coaches, you can see how respected they are, how secure they are, and how their leadership translates into players falling in line for them when one player steps out of line. Again I could be wrong but I don't get that from the Bills.

The Bills have a good running game no doubt. Their offensive line is good, not great. Their running back is very good. Good things happen when you can run the ball and you usually win. So why not run? Teams study game film and see tendencies and figure out how to stop you. All NFL teams have figured out if you stack the box you can stop the Bills run game. That’s when you take advantage of defenses cheating up to stop the run. The problem is the Bills pass game has turned to crap and is unrecognizable. To stubbornly run into an eight man box with the safety cheating up is not going to work. The Bills offensive line cannot just impose their will against teams prepared for them. We saw that last week and against good defenses it’s not going to work. Miami doesn’t even have a good defense and all the running into a brick wall did was set up difficult 3rd downs. Until the Bills get their pass game in order they are going nowhere. They refuse to throw to the outside or deep. Sideline screens/laterals are no longer working as teams recognize that play. 8 man boxes and the safeties moving up have congested the middle of the field in the short to intermediate range and no one is open. That’s the only place the Bills throw to. Miami played a lot of zone and just waited for the receivers to go where they always do and were easily stopped until garbage time when they loosened up. Miami has one of the worst secondary’s in the league fielding no name 3rd stringers who shut down Josh Allen and the Bills. The Bills were scoreless into the 4th quarter. The Bills have serious problems and if exposed again against Tampa their season is finished.

Just to reiterate, "It is my hope, and I would like to believe the hope of any reasonable, concerned, law abiding, citizen, that whomever was empowered by Epstein to engage in illegal activities and, particularly, pedophilia, should be outed with the Epstein files as well as any other sources of evidence and that such activity causes them to have to face consequences. I also think that this ought to apply to everyone, democrat, republican, British royals, etc." Make no mistake, I don't care if democrats are implicated and, in all likelihood, there are many democrats captured by the Epstein universe of criminality. And, the fact that the democrats did not advance the Epstein files during the Biden administration is likely because of how it would implicate many democrats. And, there are also republicans that are included as well within the Epstein circle. Party affiliation means nothing to me. In fact, party affiliation generally means nothing to me with respect to most topics. In particular though, I have a simple and, I think, principled view regarding this subject. Epstein and Maxwell are/were child sex traffickers and they sex trafficked to wealthy and powerful people, many of which are in or related to the US government, among other parts of US society. To play some kind of bizarre partisan binary built on asinine tribalism to defend one side or another does nothing to hold people to account for their wrong doing. So, no, I don't care who goes down so long as people go down for this because it is outrageous and the degree of social, cultural, and moral decay that pervades our society that we would even debate this on some kind of partisan line is absurd.

The team is illogically built. No MVP level QB in the last 30 years has had a team focus on building a running attack as their primary offense. If they are doing that this season, it is because the OC does not know how to scheme this group of receivers effectively. Is it because the receivers suck or the OC sucks, I don't know. But taking a team that was pitching perfect playoff games and saying "we need to slow this down and make this QB a game manager" is on the list of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen from a football team.

The problem with the offense is not the run-pass ratio. It's that they're below average when they throw the ball.

Thanks for doing the research. I always appreciate when posters put some actual work into a post. I do feel sorry for the Raiders. They're trying to rebuild and in a league where the majority of games are one score or less, the minus 19 is a significant handicap.

In effect we did get a bye because the Chiefs had a short week to prepare, then had to travel for the next game.

I say change the game to what works. The Carolina game was a perfect game to run. Longterm in a game running is better as you go along because it wears down the LBs and the Dline.

Interesting. The one thing he said that I agreed with most is maybe defenses shouldn't substitute as much. Play your best guys.

And best of all, Mack made every tough catch in the biggest moments. Beautiful TD catch in our biggest game of the last four seasons, the AFC championship. He was *clutch*. Josh trusted him, you could see that by late in the season. A great blocker, since the Bills insist so much on WR blocking. How in the world did we not retain this guy? Oh yeah: Samuel, Moore, Palmer, etc etc.

I would definitely piss on him if he wasn’t on fire

While I'm at it, why on Earth is anyone even contemplating giving Alex Tuch 10 million dollars a year for any kind of term? That's the stupid kind of fanboy crap that put them in this sort of hole to start with. Trading him at the deadline? Why wait? Do it right now. If those are the options, 10M x 8 or trade him? He's got to go in that scenario. No, what they'll do instead is wait for all the other moves to be made and they'll then move him for a 2nd round pick two years from now and whine about how there weren't that many buyers. Either that or Team USA will take him and he'll pick up an injury in Italy that makes him untradeable. I'm very much looking forward to 12/3 when I can go lose my voice booing this turd factory. Fat lot of good it will do me but catharsis is all that's left to hope for.

Pre-2000's can't really be compared because the rules were not as offense friendly. Defense won championships and run first, ball control offenses prevailed. Post-2000 the league became more pass oriented as rule changes began favoring passing and scoring. Cook has been phenomenal and should be a focal point of this offense. However, I don't believe that's why our offense is so run heavy focused. If the reason was Cook, he'd be getting the ball 20-25 times a games. I believe McDermott is trying to cover for his defense by having a run first, ball control offense. Even when we pass, it's quick hitting bubble screens, short passes that are an extension of the run game. McDermott does not want a quick strike offense that is constantly putting the defense back on the field because he knows they can't hold the best teams, ie: 13 seconds, etc...

Wild. It's almost like that regression was totally predictable to any average person who has watched hockey a couple times. Nope. It's not that Lyon is an established journeyman, it's that they are more clever than everyone else and made a solid value acquisition.

This will never change until Pegula sells the team. He took a once proud franchise and ran it into the ground. He could have hired any of us, ANY OF US, to be the GM of this team for the last 15 years and done no worse. In fact, he'd have saved some money. At this point, what the hell? Why not? Make a fan the GM, make it a reality show on Netflix. It cannot be any worse. The taint on this franchise right now is so bad that there is no way to remove it with current ownership. There is no person or group of people they can hire that could restore the credibility that has been lost and if there were Terry wouldn't hire them anyway. They have botched and destroyed so many relationships in hockey that it is not recoverable. If Lindy retires, so what? They'll just elevate the disaster that is Seth Appert. Great. Grand. Wonderful.

This isn't Lindy Ruff. This is the old, neutered, put out to pasture version of Lindy Ruff. The Lindy Ruff I remember sat Brian Campbell because he didn't play the game properly and kept sitting him until he changed. The Lindy Ruff I remember sent an entire line out to kick the crap out of Ottawa. The Lindy Ruff I remember went after Terry Murray himself. The Lindy Ruff I remember would have never tolerated this sad-sack, half-assed, garbage that they have been putting out on the ice night after night after night. This isn't Lindy Ruff. Lindy Ruff is dead.

Yeah, I think he's a definitive upgrade from a number of the guys we have in the core. Which says how bad of a shape we're in with the WR room. But again, my hope was that he'd be coming in to a healthy pass catching room and providing more to it. Kincaid is far and away our top guy at getting open and making plays these days. Davis coming in and Kincaid coming out doesn't make us better in my eyes. Would love to be wrong though.

Did the OP actually watch more than the first minute or two of the video? The video does NOT advocate for passing all the time. In fact, here is a screen shot of what are almost the last words of the video, with captions, of course.
