  1. Past hour
  2. I know, and the pic made no sense to me at the time.
  3. I saw the ESPN power ranking and I wondered if they had watched their own telecast. We could have had McConkey but decided a slow, jump ball guy would be a better fit.
  4. How much money and draft capital will Beane pour into a defense that stinks? Put some money into receiving talent for our MVP quarterback!!! They have wasted him!!!
  5. To me it’s find a restructure, and trade for Douglas, and Olave on offense. We need separation on offense. Moore, and Palmer if healed up in 2 weeks should be on the field, and Coleman reserved for red zone only. He did absolutely nothing on MNF. Douglas is patchwork until Hairston can get out there. Tre has to get sent to the practice squad.
  6. Yea I called that one in the GDT. I don't know why Josh came off it. A combination of that defense (against a DC who has caused him issues before) and a lack of trust in almost everything going on around him. The OL didn't have a good day and I think Josh is fed up of his receivers at this point. Even when he is escaping and keeping plays alive STILL nobody is getting open. Time and time and time again that has happened over the last 3 or 4 weeks. Plays where the past couple of years Josh has got out and made something happen and he is getting out, has his eyes downfield, finding nothing and is just having to scamper out of bounds for 3 or 4 yards.
  7. This issue has been discussed before… it’s always better to defer and “double dip” if possible. The only reason this is still an issue here is because our defense, seemingly, always gives up an opening drive score! So I ask, would it be better to take the ball and score first. Then let the other team score. And be 7-7. Or is it better the let them score first, then we score. And be 7-7. ..but in the second scenario, we’re assured to get the ball to start the 3rd quarter. You just have to accept the fact that our opponents will score on their opening drive. It’s just part of the game plan. I’m not sure why? But it sure seems to be.
  8. No. Not even close. The main issue is talent at the skill positions. 100%. The only real criticism I'd make of Brady is that I think the last two weeks he has taken the ball out of James Cook's hands way too much. The offense works when James cooks. It works much less well when it becomes reliant on receivers to get open. This actually looks a LOT like the Tom Brady offense his final year in New England. That was not on Josh McDaniels and this is not on Joe Brady. Can you nitpick at a play call here and there? Yep, you can. I didn't like the sweep vs New England because it was early and we were moving. I wasn't delighted they called it vs the Falcons either, but in that game it was desperation because we could not move the football. Allen didn't play very well in Atlanta (Jeff Ullbrich always seems to cause him issues) but it isn't on Josh either. The main problem with the offense is Brandon Beane.
  9. The team that included National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, who stated: "Th e Middle East is quieter today than it has been in two decades." He provided that prescient brilliance exactly one week before the Oct massacre and ensuing two year conflict, during which time the Iranians rearmed themselves, Hamas and the Houthis. What an amazing and inspiring demonstration of effective capability.
  10. Joe is PIS*ED off!
  11. Today
  12. Here is my dream. In rough order of importance: We add a WR that opposing safeties are concerned about. It doesn't necessarily need to be a superstar #1 WR. It can be a burner like Rashid Shaheed who is a threat to take the top off of a defense with his speed and therefore opposing safeties will shade towards him and try to stay deeper than him. We need a WR who can occupy two defenders in other words. What this accomplishes: More consistent running room for Cook More space for Shahir and Kincaid to operate in the middle of the field More predictable defensive alignments generally Hairston is an immediate impact starter once he completes rehab and goes through a mini training camp. Similar to #1, this team desperately needs an injection of talent and speed. (As things currently stand, the Patriots and Falcons have as much talent as the Bills outside of QB.) We need Hairston to be a gem, a hit first-round draft pick. When he returns, he needs to at least be a great CB2 and ideally (this is my dream, remember?), he would be like Quinyon Mitchell last season, a rookie corner that plays like a Pro Bowler and can be a CB1. What this accomplishes: Benford can become a great CB2, which arguably is his best usage, and we have two very reliable corners. The LBs stay unusually healthy the rest of the season (and return to form in some cases). This is a dream, remember? In my dream, Milano and Bernard stay healthy and play well to complement Shaq Thompson, who has already been playing well. Because of the lack of depth at LB, we do still need to use the 4-2-5 alignment a lot (while mixing in 4-3) in order to manage the snap count for those three guys and keep them healthy. A healthy trio of LBs accomplishes: Chemistry with the D-line. If they're not in and out of the lineup all the time, they'll develop the run fit and coverage fit behind the D-line that has been sorely missing. A healthy Milano, Bernard, and Shaq can actually make plays on the ball. If they manage to stay on the field together, they'll start to generate turnovers again for this defense, and they'll gain chemistry with each other. Continued improvement and emergence from Kincaid. In my dream, these improvements build off each other. If the Bills manage to get a burner that draws safety attention, then Kincaid should begin to dominate in the middle and deep middle . In terms of targets, I would like to see Kincaid be option #1, Shakir option #2, Shaheed option #3, Cook option #4 (I agree that we should use him in the passing game), and Palmer when he returns option #5. That receiving corps doesn't necessarily leave opponents shaking in their boots, but combined with a great rushing attack and Josh Allen, it'll be good enough for the consistent 30 pts/gm that we had gotten used to. More bread and butter from Joe Brady, less democracy. Again, these things build off each other. If we can get that burner on the outside to open up space underneath, then Brady needs to up the snap count of Kincaid and let HIM eat. Likewise, Brady can throw away some of the cutesie pie plays involving just-another-guy talents, e.g. jet sweep to Knox. With the safeties lifted, let Cook eat lots of carries. With space in the middle, Kincaid and Shakir should be targeted often as they actually separate from their matchups. Keep it bread and butter and feed those main guys, and take your deep shots with Shaheed so the defense continues to respect that aspect. Offense is fixed. Bishop improves a lot, and Rapp is replaced either internally or by trade. Again, it's my dream. With Bishop, we just have to let it play out. We don't have enough assets to plug every single hole with good players. I've already used some assets to get Shaheed here, and since Bishop has good physical tools (which he flashed when he made that INT against the Saints), I'll just dream that he puts it all together and starts playing well at safety. Rapp, on the other hand, doesn't have that kind of upside and needs to be replaced. Maybe Poyer can roll back the years and play a decent strong safety, or we have to use some other assets to get a good player in there. For anyone wondering about McBeane, I'm not going to fire them midseason where it will cause chaos and be hard to find good replacements.

  14. Robb Riddick. He can always get a tough yard or two.
  15. I believe Brady is good enough. He just needs to make calls that are better suited for an offense lacking in playmaking WR’s. Shakir needs to be better utilized. Cook needs to be run into the ground. And he certainly needs to stop with the cute stuff. Hopefully Palmer and Kincaid come back after the bye. Incorporate them better into the game plan. Go to your strengths on short yardage - Cook, Hawes blocking and your best offensive weapon- Allen. And for gods sake…figure out how to best utilize Coleman. Does anyone have any news on when Gabe can come back? Meniscus injuries shouldn’t take more than 6 months? He’s just 26 years old and maybe he can add some sort of spark to this offense…
  16. I'd say his arse is in the frying pan.
  17. If McD took over play calling, then I’d have to revise my previous thoughts. I feel the defense did a much better job pressuring a young QB in the 2nd half. Pressuring while keeping an eye on a couple of stud playmakers. If true. Babich isn’t on the hot seat as much as he’ll jettison himself. I’m sure he’s a good enough coach to coach up the players on McD’s defense and maybe not so much calling the plays. If he had the play calling stripped away, I don’t see him staying here. On his own accord.
  18. I won’t be able to celebrate this miracle happening because Christina Hendricks will be busy suffocating me with her thighs
  19. I’ll pay for the right act. A few years ago my wife and I paid $300 each for tickets to see Billy Idol at the Fallsview Casino. Was one of the top 5 concerts I’ve ever seen. Worth every penny and I’d pay more to see that concert again. On the flip side, I paid about $125 for tickets to Chicago and feel I got ripped off. I have no problem paying big bucks for a concert if it’s someone I love seeing or someone I’ve never seen and want to. My problem is normal fans have very little chance to see a concert and pay face value. We end up having to pay secondary market prices to resellers who buy up all the tickets. I take it this thread is based on ticket prices for Rush. I certainly would pay the up to $400 to see them again. They are an important part of my younger years and the ticket price is worth it to see them. Especially because I believe they are making a comeback because they want to connect with fans, not just a money grab.
  20. This loss is on Joe Brady. Joe Marino makes the case
  21. joe Marino reviews all 22- he calls out Joe Brady. Unprepared, and did not make adjustments. Studs and Duds - short and sweet list- Studs- Roseau and Deone Duds- JOE BRADY
  22. Gee, won't embed. I wonder why? https://x.com/TwinTowerCity/status/1892515010141978912?t=mZ8JDriqu_Xa9h_b04EjKA&s=19 Remember when they told us "The Russians" made these videos on Hunter Biden's laptop, and that anyone who disagreed was a "conspiracy theorist".
  23. What will have transpired to go from where we are today to that cushy 1-seed and playoff bye being locked up in Week 18? This thread is for the dreamers, the ones who want to use their imagination to concoct a scenario. Jokes are also acceptable. This thread is not for debbie downers who say it's impossible. So, what say you?
  24. Yes, of course that needs to be done. And has likely been done to a degree already. But, just as with dorsey, it was clearly not just the play calling, but the preparation for the game and that specific opponent.The play calling fiasco with both 'coordinators' is just the tip of the iceberg. If the big, obvious things are so poor--for all to see-then just imagine the neglect of the smaller details that make an NFL defense a quality unit. Things fall apart, as they have under Babbich and as they did under dorsey when this happens. A great deal of the detail work that happens during the week and then carries over into the game needs a significant change, as is seems clear that Babbich simply does not know what he is doing across the board, as the problems are comprehensive. And extremely obvious. I don't think it is over stating things to say if McDermott does not make a move, the season will be lost, and there will be a clarion call for his own head--and this time not just from a small percentage of disgruntled fans, but from a majority. He is doing what he and Beane do too often--being soft, sentimental, and letting that override the facts--and their football sense. We also see it with players like Tre White, brought back and made the starter!!, YIKES, and the same for the many retreads the Bills keep bringing back, over and over. Marv Levy and Bill Polian almost never did that, always cut bait when it was needed and then did not have an open door, come on back whenever you want policy.
