bull&*%)_ we have the best QB in the NFL I expect to win every game, Atlanta is an average team they lose this game and you can kiss home field away because they have much harder games coming.

I don't see how anyone can look at the "cabal" and argue that the officiating is doing them any good, profit wise.. and let's be honest, we know that's what it's all about in 'Murica. I can argue with whoever about "nudging" for profit, overtime rules, parity, Vegas influence, whatever to a stalemate... You want to tell me there's no incentive to extend games, I tell you follow the money... After last weekend (among many others), the NFL has a massive problem with the refs, at least. Did you watch that BS they call officiating across the league in Week 5..? The technology is at such a point, they could easily fix it.. but won't. They can't even get the new AI ball placement correct. They get more media coverage off the "controversy", so why fix it..? But nah, they don't use it to their advantage... not the lily white National Football League... That's never happened in pro sports... I'm not saying it's "fixed".. far from it... but profit incentive to extend games that shouldn't be..? Yeah, it happens...

Rex used to build bullies and now he just gets bullied for his build. 🥁

The only real counter argument is Rex accomplishing that with D and not O. I’m just not sure if Rex could have taken McD’s D players as far…. But I’m not sure he couldn’t. 13 seconds doesn’t happen with Rex on the sidelines. Not on D and not on ST! Imagine dropping Josh onto those Sanchez offenses. Not saying its guaranteed SB wins but the % definitely increases significantly.

I do agree that the plan was to start White. But I like to think, as I said, that was just to ease Hairston in. That they'd ramp up Hairston's reps throughout the second half of Training Camp and the Pre-Season. And when the season started, he'd get more and more reps until he got his proverbial sea legs under him and ultimately move White to the bench. Especially now with how bad he's playing. We'll never know what the plan was bc of the injury to Hairston before the Pre-Season and the 2nd Half of Training Camp started. You could be right. It could have been White and Hairston not starting unless there was an injury. And if that were the case, it's simply malpractice.

I think this is true. Rex caught magic in a bottle with those players for a few years and managed to stay out of the way. The Jets beating the Pats was Very sweet at the time though🥰

Agreed! But, at least they got to SBs. Absolutely attributable to Elway. This is as close to a comparison of QBs carrying teams ( excepting possibly Marino) as their is. And, close on the coaching comparison. Reeves was a quality head coach. However, he couldn’t win it all. Crusade logo= McD never will( excepting a complete fluke of lucky circumstances) An inconvenient Truth 😜

No way in hell. Please don't give Pegula any ideas. Can't wait for Ed Oliver to drop into trap coverage.

That’s insane to even compare Rex Ryan to McDermott.

Back to a previous point I made on another thread. McD can’t adapt his scheme to fit his players. He never could. He will let talent walk if it doesn’t fit his view. He will cling to players who know his scheme regardless of current ability. This is one of a few reasons I’ve been convinced of his need to be replaced for going on four years now. The other major one being the overall poor design of his scheme for the championship level moments. 🦬

Human beings are imperfect? Wait, this is a shock. Just kidding. Sure, I'm willing to agree that refs make mistakes. That some of those mistakes change football games. And that the cumulative effect of those mistakes will favor some teams and hurt others. Disagree that the Chiefs game was one of those. They had a huge call against them too last night. If you're talking about the Bills, the calls I saw were mostly justified. I thought there should have been a P.I. call against the Pats late when that guy came through Shakir. But it was a damn close play. I didn't think the refs were anywhere near as big a factor as the turnovers and bad plays we made, particularly on offense. What's nuts is the "It's a conspiracy" deal. Which people appear to say all the time with a completely straight face.

Collinsworth is very intelligent. And has access to all of the work on tendencies work that PFF does on our team and all of them as he's part-owner of the company. What Collinsworth said that was interesting and useful was the stuff about running 70% of the time when you were under center and passing 70% of the time when in shotgun. That's not calling the plays, dude. It's sharing a tendency, a statistic. The Bills have undoubtedly known that tendency themselves. And the offense has been WILDLY successful despite it. The Pats took advantage. So at this point the Bills now have to make themselves a bit more unpredictable. On the other hand, that was far from the main problem. Much bigger was what they did with their pass coverages. They were doing some really nice schematic things to confuse Allen. They threw in some really complex stuff. That was confusing Josh, slowing his processing down. Now teams have an idea, from watching the tape, about what we tend to do. Equally, though, we now have some tape on what the Pats did and what teams are likely to try to slow Josh down. We will use that tape just as defenses are using ours.

Said it all off-season, I would not have extended Greg Rousseau and Terrel Bernard. At least not until I saw how their 2025 went. With Bernard, he regressed in 2024 and he's started to show a penchant for getting dinged up. So far this year, it's felt like more of the same. He makes a big play every once in a while, like the Baltimore game. But the only true consistency is that the pass game and run defense beyond the line of scrimmage is terrible. With Rousseau, if he's so valuable, why have we spent every off-season saying "we need a premier Edge Rusher"? If we want one of them, we have to pay Parsons/Garrett money and that's unlikely to happen while you're paying Rosseau 20m a year on the other side. I feel as though Beane follows the "Draft, Develop, Retain" mantra too much, to a detriment. We are consistently in a spot every off-season where we're begging for game changers but cannot afford to get them bc we're up against the Cap. People were advocating for going all out this off-season on additions, even if it meant we wouldn't re-sign any of them. I knew that wouldn't happen and that we needed to retain 2-3. But even I didn't think we'd sign *all 5*.

While it's true, it's true of every team. Every team does things differently. The ones that are successful put out a lot of stuff on tape. Eventually good teams figure it out. This is true of EVERY TEAM. EVERY TIME. What then comes about is whether the team can adapt to the tactics that are successful against them. The Bills have been through this dozens of times. They've been pretty damn successful adapting, though at times it took them some time (going from Dorsey to Brady took some time, for instance). But successful. I think they'll adapt. No way to be sure till it happens. But that's the likelihood.

Ask yourself this: How many games do the Bills go into and your convinced they have a coaching advantage ?

So far the results of that gauntlet drill are highly overrated. Dalton's obvious improvement this season has been extremely encouraging. Keon on the other hand is an enigma?

Kincaid looking great, Hawes looking good too. Knox, with the drops and the fumble and the big salary, is looking less necessary. Now if we had a great downfield receiver we could be unstoppable, like 1991 Bills level or Chiefs with prime Kelce and Tyreek.

Nothing against the standing buffalo but I’d rather have an extra game with the red helmets

Didn’t it say that Sanchez threw the guy against a dumpster after being stabbed by him ? Then he took off. Doesn’t sound like Sanchez was going to murder him but what do I know ?

Based on last weeks crapola no wonder they wore those awful uniforms

They are the problem

I was just answering the question about why he's controversial.

I'm sorry if I got you heated. I wasn't reporting on news. It was an opinion. This culture is really about Josh Allen, James Cook, and our great o-line. Sprinkle in some Shakir and Kincaid. On defense, there is a culture there, "a losing can't tackle, can't sniff out the run, can't make crucial 3rd down stops" culture. Been happening for the last 4 years. "Bounce back" wins gets harder to do as they age. Just ask Mahomes and Chiefs and Lamar Jackson and Ravens. Our defense will be the same vs. Atlanta Falcons. We shouldn't be penciling a win here.

But...but...I can see the players' numbers! 🙁

These uniforms will cleanse the Bills of their Sunday night travesty.
