The Cincinnati game imo was more similar to a lower level of football. Highschool or College that the team that brings more energy wins. In pro football energy is never an impact unless it’s week 18 and vaction is set. With the blizzards and dealing with Hamlin, Buffalo simply ran out of emotional gas. Cincy came in with their hair on fire. They felt wronged by the Hamlin game results. Buffalo didnt have the capacity to match. I wouldnt state it as quitting or something coaches could have changed. Just was all they had.

If they knock it off with trying to be dark and gritty, it should work. That was my problem with Man of Steel - it portrayed Supes as way too grim and brooding. Also Kevin Costner was a weird choice for Pa Kent.

I definitely do not study DTs, or even focus on Oliver's play all that much. But I was surprised last to see a quote last season from a head coach of a Bills' opponent who said that the offensive coordinator has to have a plan for handling Oliver on every play. The implication was that if you leave Oliver one-on-one more than occasionally, he will wreck the game. And beyond that, I think this discussion about Oliver under-performing as compared to other DTs, there are two important considerations: 1. The D-line rotation. Oliver doesn't get as many snaps as most other DTs, and that's not because he couldn't handle more - it's because as a matter of philosophy, McDermott won't give him more. And it isn't just snaps; it's also that where Oliver lines up from play to play changes, and who's beside him changes, too. 2. McDermott's team-approach. Everyone is expected to be multiple, to be able to play different styles from game to game and even from play to play. There are no one-trick ponies on the Bills; each player has to be good at a lot of different skills that his position requires. They have to be jackknives. That's who the Bills draft, over and over, because that's what they want. So, I would guess that the Bills are happy with Oliver, because he's great at what they want him to do, and they don't care that he isn't great in the way the fans want him to be. That is, the Bills don't mind that they don't have a single guy on the D line who is a true game wrecker.

I don't think we need to delve into Diggs personal life or create hypothetical sexual scenarios to look for reasons the Bills moved on. The performance and locker room based reasons to move on from Diggs have been rehashed multiple times. It also seems pretty clear that Diggs wanted receiving numbers, demanded a high target share in order to get them, and wasn't going to be happy in an offense that was closer to 50/50 run/pass under Brady than the ~40/60 run pass that was the Bills offense under Dorsey.

SNAP benefits cut. Ron DeSanctimonius wants kids working in fields. In Texas, kids drowned in flood prone areas where MAGA cut the NWS and while Tex Cruz lounges. Now it’s protecting pedos. Where’s the Epstein list, MAGA? Why are pedos running free, MAGA? So sick. And so sad.

I hope its not only very public and very ugly, but its after the Bills put a 50 burger on them.

That's fair on Rousseau. I do have rose colored glasses But Benford is a Top CB in the league. If he isn't on the list, it's highway robbery

So, we DO really suck? Thanks for clearing that up.

I don't think this is a bad question... I think he is absolutely here this year... but I think if he has another uninspired year or two that they look to move him out at the most financially advantageous time in his contract thinking dead cap hit...

2024 was not Ed's best year. I'm a huge fan of him, possibly the biggest on this board, and think he generally is undervalued by most Bills fans (and some neutral observers) but his performance for 2/3s of 2024 was below par. No question. He did turn it on down the stretch but he really underperformed by his standards for a fair chunk of last season. On that basis I wouldn't make a case for him over anyone in the top 10. I thought he was slighted not being in the top ten last year, but he doesn't have an argument for it this year. I would, however, still have him over everyone outside the top 10 - both in the "honourable mentions" and "also received votes" category (with Ed himself in the latter) with the possible exception of Kobie Turner, who is a stud, but isn't really a defensive tackle. He is a 3-4 defensive end. If he played for the Bills he'd be a guy who played mainly as a big end 5T and then reduced down into a 3T in pass rush situations.

Concerning mostly Once Diggs understands she has punt kicked him for good, it will be out. I can neither confirm nor deny any allegations...

Not wrong. Also, it is very much 2000’s Patriots type offseason. Bosa needs to plays 3-4 games in January and Feb. Tre White in the AFC championship game wont throw up on himself like Elam did. Is White who he was? No. Is he better than what was on the field in January in KC? Yes. Added athletes in the secondary and size on the dline. Have a few young guys as the lead pass catchers. Palmer does what they dont. Moore is the type of player that has succeeded with Allen. Mind you last season Philly besides a modest deal for Barkley, Baun was the best signing and was signed to a prove it deal and was up for DPOY. Those types of FA win games and Championships. They reuped both Barkey and Baun this offseason with massive pay raises.

I wonder if that video was taken at the airport used by George Washington in the Revolutionary War.

This is our fifth year of being in the top five in odds without any actual appearances. If odds were always accurate, we would all be much richer. It's important to understand that odds reflect where gamblers choose to place their money, not necessarily where experts would place their bets. With the rise of legalized sports gambling, the market has become flooded with uninformed bets.

Im Guessing yes

Hoax. It is a bombshell. In the sense that MAGA said the list existed, and then changed its mind. Looks like it was all one big psy op designed to get you to vote for protecting pedos. Sick and weird. But that’s your pedo-protecting MAGA for you.

Bump

This place might be easier to tolerate of we sucked, rather than entering the season as a SB favorite again.

Hard to keep up - first NYC is a hellscape, then suddenly it’s too amazing to risk electing a Muslim mayor who might ‘ruin’ it. Now we’ve got Real World bro crying that cities are scary. Pick a narrative.

I have that question a lot on the Interweb. Someone responds to say "this is useless stuff that is beneath my notice" OK then why are you here noticing it by responding?

What do you think people come here do to? Discuss sunshine & rainbows? We have invested so much into our DL with little to no results. When the biggest investment on the DL isn’t in the Top 10 of his position, it should be discussed. Many people make predictions based on prior results and the prior results of improving the DL the last eight years, have many of us hopeless that we finally figure it out because nothing changes if nothing changes.

Will someone please start a thread on how the jinx will be lifted after the Bills games are moved off of the burial grounds. Need something controversial.
