  1. I agree about mcdaniels. Fins currently crapping the bed to the jets mess. Pretty horrible fin season , but Tuas injury situation may spare mcdaniels. I don’t know what tuas contract situation is , but I just don’t see mcdaniels winning with him. He designed his offense around him , but he’s just not likely to be durable. Seems like a chicken / egg situation unless they can bring in a qb to compete w or adequately back up Tua. Really tho , mcdaniels was a good pr story overcoming substance abuse etc , quirky “ offensive guru” supposedly, but he lacks true football leadership qualities. Prob great coordinator, but I can’t see him as the face of culture or an organization. Glad bengals are out , but this is a confident coach / D/ scrambling yet proficient rookie qb coming in. I think Allen is our huge advantage but worry about mcds HC off being out coached at times , like last year by Peyton. At least it’s at home ; be interested in your thoughts about facing the broncos? Happy holidays , belated !
  2. Somebody had to be stupid enough to be the sacrificial lamb after Belicheck. I mean, who would follow a hof HC WITH 6 rings , after the HOF goat qb is long gone , and thinks this is a great resume building chance? Guy wasn’t too bright taking that job. 🤣🤡. Esp as a first time HC. AS WELL? Pretty predictable, and I bet it wasn’t said but implied, don’t lose the first pick. 😀. Crazy situation , quickest fire after a season ending win? Didn’t even let him go out tonight to enjoy things. Man, Nix is gaining a lot of confidence today. KC look lost w wentz. Who again proves he’s washed. That Denver d is fast. Not our strength as we are not a speed team But we have a huge qb advantage. I just hope Babich doesn’t let nix scramble all day and not be aggressive against a rookie qb in his first playoff game away from home. Pressure now shifts to Mcd, Babich, Brady imo. ( nix is scrambling like crazy , two long scrambles negated by penalties ). I hope Mcd is up to this. 😊
  3. Classic Wilson game, just throwing enough pics and other totally incompetent plays to secure home field for KC and never being in it enough to even make KC break a sweat. Guy just makes the worst choices at every critical movement. Road just got longer and tougher for the Bills and Pitt is folding like expected with this substitute qb. Chiefs control their destiny again , and they keep peaking while things just got harder for the bills who needed a break with this classic end season Mcd defense. Road got longer and harder for our Bills, and it’s dejavu all over again. Steelers looked terrible, even with jones out for KC. Figures, Pitt was never really in this. Bills might still do it, but it’s much tougher now. Like redneck would say on some days,,I hate football! 😊👍
  4. I know you’re right,,,,but omg, dude is headed to being cut asap. He can’t turn his head. Maybe. Reds a neurosurgeon to check his neck for any ability to rotate! Like I wrote earlier, my dachshund puppy learned to ring a bell hanging from the doorknob to go outside to pee. Ten years later and no accidents or PI ( peeing inside) from my dachshund! Elam can’t be taught to turn his head after three years,,, wouldn’t trust him hiding the bowl or leave him alone at home without a puppy pad! lol,,man the coaches and Beane must bang their heads against walls watching that level of incompetence for 3 years! Today was awful, he just puts his arms up and runs through the receiver! Must be maddening! ✌️😊
  5. I thought at first it’s just the refs being biased. Then I saw him once again never turn to find the ball, just raise his arms up , face guard , and run right thru the receiver. Not just once but he had to do it twice ! That is one hard headed cb who after 3 years , just refuses to improve or do the right technique. Must be maddening for coaches ; I mean I taught my dachshund puppy to ring a bell to go outside to pee, and 10 years later , still never had an accident , or PI ( peeing inside!). So either my dachshund is smart enough to learn the Bills scheme,,,or Elam could not be trusted to be left alone at home without a doggie pad down! Unbelievable!😳😊✌️. Merry Christmas. Go Bills !
  6. Amen! Horrible game from a team that plays down to bad teams. Human nature I guess. Classic Mcd team against bad teams. This is why he is hard to fathom winning a Lombardi. They always tend to let down along the way , while KC Looks like they are improving. Merry Christmas tho. Not good for one’s mental health to ever question things after a win , even tho we’ve never won the one a coach is hired to win! lol.
  7. Jets may just sit Rodgers next week. lol.
  8. Sorry about typo, done on iPad which I swear makes more errors with correction on. I did it when tired and just missed it. Edited and corrected misspelling. Sorry , even I’m not an angel , Maybe more of a square now with all 90 degree angles at my age! 😊. Seriously tho , I have to use an iPad because of little feeling in my hands after failed cervical surgery for 5 collapsed discs trapping and damaging my cervical cord. I have to triple read everything or it changes words after I typed them in , and in this case, it chose the wrong spelling. I just installed the latest iOS for iPad Pro and even now with its new “ Siri AI”, it still does this type of crap. Again, apologize for missing that. 😊
  9. Guy can play football, well. Everybody makes mistakes and deserves a second chance. If Antonio brown , true sociopath, can get three chances, someone will give him a chance. Not making any judgement , just stating how the nfl works Not all are angels. Will see.
  10. Plus they are still the top scoring offense in the nfl with largest point differential Bills are #2 . Heck , he might be a bettered coordinator than McD after watching the last two games ! lol, JK, but I wouldn’t say he’s a scrub. How would you feel if McD drops one of the last three games or gets knocked. Out again before the superbowl, ? Keep doin the same crazy d , as Allen becomes Kelly and Marino version 2.0 ? Or roll the dice and maybe become KC ? Just a thought. Lists see how season actually ends. If he brings in a Lombardi , he virtually owns the town and coaches as long as Belicheck!
  11. Go to YouTube and watch videos of Bills mafia at that last sniwbiwl game ! They all raved how great the experience was, many saying it was the best game they ever attended. The tailgating and whole experience looked amazing. All those on YouTube were adamant it would be terrible to have a dome and not experience American Football in a great snow environment as a tradition. They came , they shoveled, they stayed, and the Bills won. It was an obvious advantage against San Fran. peguka did the right thing. His franchise qb plays like he was born to play in the snow and he had 6 tds that game! That lake effect game was absolutely a classic that will be watched over and over again . It’s part of what makes Buffalo so unique. It’s not about career stats etc, after all the SB”s are played in warm climates so weather doesn’t matter. You don’t destroy iconic scenes and games like the LA snow bowl ; The Bills will be around even after Josh retires , and who knows , the Bills may need snow to equalize the field when he’s gone. Smart owner, no dome!
  12. So true. He is very private , soft spoken off the field , loves to read , very frugal , intelligent and kind person. This came from his fiancé I met in 2021 at a target in Florida as she was traveling to meet him.
  13. Now getting a groin injury can really be a lingering issue so much for working the rust off. He probably is out 1-3 weeks just based on how they handle these soft tissue injuries. Not as bad as hamstring injury usually , but he was just coming back. I bet he sits till playoffs unless it was very precautionary pulling him. Don’t know his contract status , really like him and his wife is really a good person as well, but this is prob his lat run with the bills. He is just no longer durable. He can be replaced pretty easily now by Beane with this injury issue being recurrent. Feel bad for him, really classy guy. When healthy , he was fantastic.
  14. Says he is playing the same , but qbs getting ball out too quick so nothing he can do. Well how bout putting your arms up , jumping, getting some tipped balls? You, Ed , are doing nothing and just giving up. Doesn’t explain other teams also running at will at crucial times snd their best games seem to always be about facing this d. It’s just no accountability and with the money , he now faces no benching , and he just plays with no urgency or like he wants to keep proving he could keep improving. The whole d line plays that way outside of epenesa who has some days where he does well despite his limited talents. This is Beanes biggest failure every year , failed fas, failed at the draft This is why it’s hard to maintain faith Mcd will bring a Lombardi home , as you combine this d line with terrible decision making under pressure and his scheme of 2 small lbs with always playing scared , soft zone allowing WRs to come of line untouched. It’s hasn’t worked in 7 years. Josh with his best and another anazing year , but I suspect it will be waisted. Come on, 9 guys on the field with no returner , and a blocked punt in the same game with yet another botched time out use. It’s now an anomaly, it’s a pattern. Detroit game will be a clue , not optimistic as this team is used to choking at end games , ot. But even a win can’t prevent another playoff debacle. Hope I’m wrong , but it feels like mcds penchant for errors in close games , feels like we will waste what appeared to be a magical season. Prove me wrong Mcd ,or we can just repeat this until Josh has gotten well past his prime.
  15. Not so fast my friend. Lions are hurt but they still get pressure on the qb and Campbell sends them from everywhere. This is their chance at the #1 seed. They are also more rested. Unless the qb throws 5 picks again , I don’t see this d under these Mcd soft zone rules stopping them at all and our o will not face a bad d like the rams have. I would like to be wrong , but they pretty much have Been looking at this as their loss yet still be in the chase for the 1 seed. That disappeared yesterday. Josh will keep it within two scores , but I see this as our second 2 game losing streak. Then we finish off with the trashy afc east. But Los ing that one seed allows KC or Pittsburgh to rest and it’s a huge advantage. Just ask Thurman Thomas. lions come in very confident with only one loss and a huge point differential. They are not worried about an o that required two huge penalties to keep scoring drives alive. I’m sorry , against quality teams , Mcd has lost my trust ; it’s show me time. I we win only if we win the turnover battle by 2 or more imo. Again I want to be wrong , but I’ve watched the lions dismantle almost everyone. We lack a d line who can finish and you can’t fix that now without blitzing and Mcd is just never going to chance that. He prefers slow deaths by a million cuts.
  16. No he is supposed to hire and lead teachers and competent coordinators. Thats his job , and every year someone in his chain of command grossly fails. He’s the CEO on the field , and he is known more for spectacular failures than spectacular wins. 9 men on the fiekd the last play is a complete failure from him to the. Players not paying attention. It’s not an isolated event. Yep , I expect him to coordinate that last play and last offensive strategy. He gets paid several mil to do just that.
  17. He reinjured his left hand early in the game and was in obvious pain. They have never disclosed his actual initial injury. I suspect he had / has and healing from a non displaced fracture of one of his metacarpals. That’s the top , dorsum of the mid hand and nit the wrist. I suspect this as it’s taken many weeks to heal , the glove protects his hand not wrist , and it coukd easily be reinjured. They immediately changed play calling away from sneaks and qb runs. He even went to hand offs and a couple pitches to avoid holding the Ball. , getting hit and hurt worse ir fumbling. He felt better in the second half. , got it rewrapoed or even injected or took something like toradol by mouth or shot to be able to play more.freely like himself in the second half. Plus he is an animal , plays thru pain and adrenaline.kicked in as they saw a chance to pull it out. So I think the glove stays on and that explains the two Halves. They never tell the truth , so I can only speculate based on seeing similar cases. Time will tell. Just my opinion seeing him in pain and the protection he is wearing.
  18. Just proves how that award process is a joke , just like pro bowl voting. The only award with something is the Lombardi , because it’s not subjective , you actually earn it on the field doing the things required to allow you to separate yourself from others , and actually accomplish the lifelong goal you chose to persue . People don’t really care about or focus on mvp awards in terms of ultimate career success. It’s about the Lombardi and the rings. Cities and franchises don’t do parades for mvp awards , it about the Lombardi!
  19. Mcd has proven he is perfect for this team , and he brought Allen here with Beane when few teams , maybe no other teams believed he woukd become great. Great post game speech , levy like ( whom he quoted , so it ties this team to those great years) This is another legacy era in Bills football. This year it’s finally coming together and you can feel it. For the first time since those SB years , I actually expect the Bills to win now , it doesn’t feel like it’s unpredictable this year. That’s what it felt like during the 90’s and has never been replicated. This is a team in every sense and filled with likeable guys who get it , the big picture , and have bought into the PRocess ! I give credit to McD , he has had a mission and vision regarding his process and he is finally enjoying the season and he deserves tons of credit. I was beginning to doubt if he was actually THE GUY for the Bills , but this year he has proven to be a great leader and he will be a great part of Bills history similar to Marv. 5 consecutive arc east titles is an amazing accomplishment and he is our Tomlin in that he is the guy who brought his vision of culture to life for this organization. Great game tonight that will always be a part of special Bills memories. I really think they are peaking perfectly this year and I believe they can get it done,,,,in fact ,, they gotta get it done! lol! Go BILLS , ENJOY THIS ALONG WITH YOUR FAMILY / loved ones , and also have a great Christmas season! GO BILLS!
  20. Enjoy every minute Been around as a fan since ‘63. So have seen ups and downs. Loved the SB YEARS. Never thought I would see a qb actually match or surpass Kelly as a real leader. Those teams were filled with leaders and HOF guys. This era is basically based on Josh and his talent. He is truly generational. Inspiring guy on / off the field. Also levy was and will always be my fav coach as a gentleman and true scholar. Perfect for that area , which was before free agency. I mention that as guys usually stuck with a team throughout their careers , so chemistry carried over. Josh has improved and thrived despite changing talent around him. But Mcd and Beane I think have proven to be perfect for this era of Bills football Mcd is actually thriving and enjoying , and doing his best coaching this year. This really feels like a special year. It really feels like those SB teams because now we actually feel confident they can win and play with the best teams. Turnovers are down, and we lead the league at plus 17 I believe. We are winning with complimentary football as Mcd has preached as his process. And this team has chemistry and talent. Two biggest changes have been getting Diggs released and getting a true playmaker at Lb replacing the largely ineffective Edmund’s who never met the expectations Mcd had for him. ( watch the bears , he is still avoiding contact , rarely makes plays , and sorry , he is a soft player Tarzan off the bus, Jane on the field type. This d is for real and they are hitters out there now). We now have True building blocks at both critical positions on o and D. ). Just saying , enjoy and take in this feeling of success and truly a generational qb. I can speak from experience , this feels like the Kelly years plus . The team isn’t full of HOF players like Bruce, thurm, reed, marv , polian, tasker , bisquit, conlsn , odomes, Christy etc, but it’s loaded with even better chemistry and I really believe Mcd with Allen is our best chance to finally get that Lombardi. This is special , even those great sb teams had letdowns and so far , Mcd has guided a great season. This is the best group to finally create their own legacy outside of the SB TEAM YEARS. 5 afc east titles is great ; we just have to get past KC with Reid/ mahomes , and we might get that Lombardi finally. The other playoff teams that could be a threat are the physical Steelers and power running ravens. I think this team has the mental resilience to do it. Enjoy, it’s real , and go BILLS!
  21. Yep. Just north of Jax they have warnings for possible freezing temps tonight below 32. It does get chilly here for a couple days then warms back up. Funny, tonight they had the boats / sailboats all decorated and going thru. Downtown Jax on the St. John’s river. They also will be having the life guard chair decorating contest at the beach here ! Looks nice , but if you grew up in the north , nothing compares to Christmas lights glistening off pristine snow ! My father always decorated the house for Christmas and put out seed for birds and salt for deer to come up into our back yard. We have a large property , 72 acres, in Ohio , 30 min from Pittsburgh, With woods surrounding the house. It was the.best. I came to Florida because that area was coal / steel dependent and sadly , it’s like a ghost town as 50% or more have left since the 70’s. But Christmas lights don’t look great on palm trees , boats , lifeguard chairs compared to reflecting off the snow! Snow was great as a kid , but.working and shoveling it around Easter took all the enjoyment away ! lol ! Best wishes , go bills !
  22. Oh no. Feel bad for you. Try putting it in a splint , like a towel around your neck and then resting your arm in it. You can ice it from outside the splint to protect your skin. If you have no allergies Tylenol or advil might help ( avoid Advil if you have hypertension or gi issues ). Watch for swelling Around the elbow , if it’s prominent , it can mean you need to get it x rayed to look for fractures. If you have persistent pain with extending your elbow or rotating your hand or you keep feeling or hearing that funny sound which is called crepitus and can be a sign of fracture , get checked when you can with all the snow there. Rest it on a pillow tonight to keep it above the level of your heart while lying down and that may help w pain / swelling. just some ideas to get you thru till you can see someone. Hopefully it’s a bad bruise only. Best wishes. Hope you are ok to watch the game Sunday night. Go bills !
  23. Watching a storm chaser on YouTube now on an iPad while watching football on tv. He just passed Highmark stadium at 10:12 pm. It is really coming down , snow looks heavy and it’s blowing horizontally as he was passing the stadium. It really looks bad. He did pass a snow plow on the other side of the road ( streamers name is Logan eschrich on YouTube streaming live ) but if this doesn’t pass quickly , I know at least as it is blizzard like now , there would be no way to play imo. Thankfully it’s early ( 10 pm ) , but there is quite a bit of accumulation already outside the stadium. If this doesn’t stop almost completely by early morning , I wonder if they even allow travel. Again , been watching off and on all day in YouTube ( gosh the snow just looks so pretty coming from a.guy born on the Ohio/ Pennsylvania border , but living in Jax fl since ‘85. We got snow here once in my 40 plus years in Jax , for a day , and it seemed more like frost with spitting flakes than real snow, and it closed all roads and bridges. lol) , and Orchard Park is really getting hit. I would bet now looking at how heavy it’s snowing as that storm chaser is driving around the OP THAT the game gets delayed/ moved. Really feel for those of you getting slammed like this. Stay safe ; sure is awesome to watch on YouTube , but I’m. beginning to have doubts about the game being played. These conditions also make it anyone’s game as there prob will be very little ability to run regular offenses in that blizzard like snow. Go bills.!
  24. Yep , no one broke ankles like sanders. But as a kid I grew up watching OJ AND THE ELECTRIC co go for 2 k yards in a 14 game season. Still remember the snowy day he went over 2 k and was hoisted by the o line. Man , he was so smooth, and he just glided. He and Barry were like aliens from another world. I won a silent auction at SB 27 put on by the NFL in Pasadena and won a signed oj jersey , a football signed by the Bills, and a Bills helmet signed by the team. A few months later I had them displayed in my office , and one night I was having dinner zand there was the white bronco being chased live on network tv. To make matters worse, someone got into the office a month later , and stole all my memorabilia. Only thing I have left is two numbered uncut sheets of skybox cards that were printed at the SB NFL EXPERIENCE. They are in pristine shape , about 3 x 4 foot , and they have all the bills and cowboy rosters and other pro bowl players. They printed 20 k of the sheets and they are seamed and numbered. Had to ship them back to Florida from Pasadena and luckily , I had not displayed they in my office. FINA’s rookie card is part of the set. I wanted to see if he might like the set ( he displays memorabilia behind him on his podcast w Joe miller. I’ m having some serious heath issues and just want the set to go to a bills fan who woukd appreciate them and keep them. If anybody talks to fina or miller or interested , maybe pass it on or contact me , I bet fina would love to pass those on to his kids / family, esp now that he is back fully with the Bills organization. BUT, watching Barry., and Oj as just a football player ,was amazing , and imo, no other backs really came close as pure speed and change of direction instantly as those two could running backs could do. Henry reminds me somewhat of Earl Campbell power wise, but he runs upright like George more than brutal bowling people over like Earl did. If the ravens keep running like this in the playoffs , and don’t turn it over , I’m not sure how a smallish team like the Bills can match up. I like the Bills against everyone else , but if the ravens run and don’t turn it over , we coukd beat them only if our o plays a perfect game. Without turnovers , they just wear everybody down.
  25. I’m just an Old school guy, old Rick guy here, too. What song woukd better fit the Buffalo area, the working class ethic , the northern area and bordering canada, , than the classic Rush tune , WORKING MAN ? It never gets old , instantly recognizable, perfect lyrics, is a tune from A Rock and roll HOF BAND, HAS LYRICS that anyone can sing along with , builds up and rocks out and nothing beats those opening chords / lyrics. You could cut the solo a little and change one word if you wanted too. I get up at 7 yeah and go to work by 9. I got no time for the ( put team name in ) Chiefs , yeah , cuz I’m working all the time ! It seems to me I could live my live a lot better than I think I am, It seems to me I could live my life a lot better than any CHIEFS fan, I guess that’s why they call me , they call me the working man , I guess that’s what I am , I guess that what they call , they call me the BILLS MAFIA , MAN ! cuz that’s what I am , the BILLS MAFIA , MAN ! I get hone at 5 o clock , and I take myself out a nice cold beer , seems I’m always wonderin why there’s nothing going down here ! it seems to me I could live my live a lot better than any Chiefs fan , I guess that’s why they call me , they call me BILLS MAFIA , MAN ! Thats why they call me ,,, BILLS MAFIA, MAN! CUE A SHORTENED VERSION OF THE GREAT GUITAR SOLO , then to the lyric one more time with Bills Mafia Pics or shots of live fans in the stands enjoying their “ soft drinks” ! just a thought , but who works harder than the BILLS OR THE MAFIA ? And it would fit with a football game background I just don’t get the alt Rick Mr brightside to get players ready to hit etc, but if it’s working , then yeah , I’m superstitious enough to not mess w it ! Just don’t get the choice to start with ! lol! Go bills!
