  1. Past hour
  2. Daniel’s was expected be good coming out of the draft but because of his size and playing style Injury was his big negative which is what happened this year.. he hasn’t been bad he has been injured.. Someone just pointed out that Stroud got away with a lot of turn over worthy plays his rookie year (I’ll believe their research) and Maye has played 25 games now and has broken a record for highest completion percentage EVER on his first 25 games.. that’s a decent sample size.. the difference this year? Competent coaching and he is playing smarter.
  3. Yeah I certainly get all that and say as much here myself. It wasnt aimed at you specifically. But too many folks want to try to shut down discussions with "Well who do you have that you know will be better?!?" like it's some checkmate.
  4. Eh, We've had our share of knuckleheads in Buffalo too. https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/s/FHsTnzGTg7
  5. This won't be a shootout. We've played against some poor, bottom of the league pass defenses and have put up beans. If they can be run on, then that's the plan, run the ball. sincerely Joe Brady
  6. The Bengals posted all whites for Sunday. Bills haven't posted anything yet but probably blue over white when they do. https://www.gridiron-uniforms.com/GUD/controller/controller.php?action=weekly&year=2025&week=14&league=NFL
  7. The problem is multi-faceted, but often the doctor shopper was hooked by a trusted medical professional who sold out for the money, or didn’t follow the trends and problems that in retrospect seems pretty obvious. Kudos to the good docs who avoided this whole mess. My dentist and I were speaking about this one day—he had torn an ACL or had some other knee issue, and his doc wrote some obscene amount of pills for pain. Can’t recall dosage but he got something like 25 pills in the prescription. He was stunned…and that was one script, one time long after I as a layman understood there was a problem. In the end, I we likely dealt with the tip of the iceberg worst offenders, and the finger being pointed at pharma gave offending physicians a finger to point away from themselves.
  8. How does a fan or GM watch the playoff Chiefs loss and not want to pay Cook or make him a larger part of the offense? Again this judgement by the team is troubling. Coupled with thinking the WRs were good enough is damning.
  9. Jack the Rabbit and Weak Knees Willie, don't you know they're gonna be there Ah, Sloppy Sue and Big Bones Billy, they'll be comin' up for air We're gonna play some pool, skip some school, act real cool Stay out all night, it's gonna feel all right So Rosie, come out tonight, oh, baby, come out tonight Windows are for cheaters, chimneys for the poor Oh, closets are for hangers, winners use the door So use it Rosie, that's what it's there for
  10. Every game is different. And sometimes the result is unexpected. Look at the Rams on Sunday. Who had the Panthers here? Honestly, I thought the Bills were going to lose to Pittsburgh. So I didn't expect the Bills would be able to run all over the Steelers defense and I didn't expect the Bills defense to be so good against the run either. Maybe the 10 day mini-bye gave the defense time to iron out all their problems? If they perform down the stretch the same way then good things can happen. The Bengals are 31st against the run but seem to be trending up a bit. The Bills 30th and looking the same. And obviously their passing game with Burrow back and Higgins and Chase at WR will be superior to the Steelers offense. To win I expect the Bills will need to be efficient in the run game but the passing game needs to contribute a lot more. I'm not sure what the status is for Kincaid's availability, or Dawkins, Brown, Palmer, or how much a week more of time for Cooks to come up to speed on the offense will do. A big question is how the pass defense plays against top-end WR's. The weather forecast for Sunday is cold, cloudy, and not a lot of wind so that might not be a factor. I think its critical the passing game becomes at least functional before the playoffs to have a chance of advancing past the wild card round.
  11. Not an answer to my question. Yeah, it’s just racism. Which one?
  12. McDermott has to call the defense this week. The difference between Houston and last week against Pittsburgh is massive. Babich needs to take a back seat this week, let alone the rest of the year. If we want a shot at the Super Bowl it’s with McDermott calling the defense whether you like the guy or not. Also a win this week likely punches a bills postseason ticket. The bills would have to go 2-2 over their next 4, which is extremely do-able. 11-6 gets us in 100%, without tiebreakers over tons of teams, and with a lot of the teams in the mix having to play each other down the stretch. I mean heck, I think 10-7 gets us in too
  13. We already know about your dating pool, we’re trying to talk football here.
  14. They should really double down on this. Instead of Josh Allen and his pretty nice runs and occasional passes, why not invest a third of Allen's salary on a better than average receiver for Trubisky? Seems silly to have a Ferrari just sitting around if you prefer to hit the trails in your Jeep. I loved run first with Shady and Tyrod. It's mindbogglingly stupid with Allen, but hey who doesn't feel a tinge of nostalgia? This team is almost literally tying on hand behind its back and that one hand is attached to Josh's throwing arm. I liked the strategy against Pittsburgh, mostly because it wasn't broke and didn't need to be fixed, but making this an identity is only required because Brady can't design a good passing offense, McDermott doesn't seem to want him to, and Bean is on board with it all. All of this makes life harder for Kromer, Josh, Cook, and the whole rest of the organization.
  15. He meant innocent people right? Just like all these "fishermen" Oh wait he killed kids ?
  16. It happens. https://slate.com/business/2013/11/double-down-obama-said-he-s-really-good-at-killing-people.html President Barack Obama told his aides that he’s “really good at killing people” while discussing drone strikes. I can recall all the times you expressed profound sadness over this.
  17. Kids definitely talented but let's not act like he's on Pace for 40 touchdowns He's solid.. NFL game plans have not caught up to them and the game planning gets better for the playoffs He's playing with a lot of confidence but people remember Jaden Daniels was considered a superstar rising last year and that fell really fast.. CJ Stroud was supposed to be the next big thing that fell fast Every quarterback is going to hit a slump how you bounce back from it tells a lot more
  18. Don't be shocked if he does well there
  19. Remember last year or two years ago when that family said a Bills fan knocked or pushed there girl over? It got tons of airplay on new stations everywhere And it was never verified from the Buffalo Bills.. or witnesses .. and the eye in the sky never caught it .. Buffalo News never did a story on it Because it probably was slightly fabricated Not saying the girl didn't fall down but a angry drunk Bills fan definitely wasn't shouting obscenities saying he's going to knock over 49er fans like they said just rampaging people The Buffalo News never ran with the story and the Buffalo Bills would be able to catch it with their eye in the sky Maybe this woman dropped the towel? Maybe someone did take it But she doesn't even remember it getting stolen so how could you even blame a Bills fan? What if it was a Steelers fan there without a terrible towel and wanted one Who knows
  20. Will you ever stand up for the average American citizen? These people are given benefits and still choose to rip us off. ***** them.
  21. I too look for gems in the fantasy waiver & FA wire this time of year. Never seems to works out.
  22. While I primarily agree with you, I will say (playing devil's advocate for just a moment), that drive you spoke of: 1. Ate up more than 1/2 of the 2nd quarter. The Steelers' offense sat on the sideline for over 30 minutes (real time) and did not get back on the field until less than a minute to go (with no timeouts) in the first half, effectively denying their ability to score points at the end of the half. Losses against both the Patriots and Texans can be traced back to the defense giving up cheap points at the end of the first half in each of those games. 2. The physical beat-down on that drive played a role in wearing down the Steelers' defense and invigorating the Bills' confidence on offense. While the drive only netted 3 points, it was the start of a 26-0 run. 3. The drive may have ended with a TD, except that on 4th and goal from the 2, there was a false start penalty that led McD to reconsider his decision to go for it and settle for a FG. 4. The Bills were playing without both of their starting OTs (and with interior linemen also banged up) -- so the coaches were mindful of not asking Josh to stand in the pocket and hold the ball for more than a couple of seconds. We saw what happened against Houston when the ball didn't come out of his hand quickly. In fact, the sort of smash-mouth scheme that they ran against Pittsburgh is probably what they should have done against Houston too. That said, I'm not sure that is the best course of action to take a against the Burrow-led Bengals whose offense is superior to that of Houston/Pittsburgh. I think the key (which we probably agree on) is that the Bills need to show that they can be versatile on offense. When the game-flow permits, it is perfectly OK to impose their will against an opposing defense and grind the ball on the ground, while judiciously mixing in passes here and there. However, there will come a time (possibly this week against Cinci), where they will need be able to compete in a shootout. With the lack of viable downfield threats, that is not really the way they are built, but they HAVE shown (this year against the Ravens and Bucs, for example) that with a stud QB like Josh that they CAN do it.
  23. You avoided my question. Very unexpected. I shall answer yours if you answer mine.
