    Anyone have any Hungarian ancestry here?

    in M*A*S*H Max Klinger talks about there being a lot of Hungarians in Toledo. Jamie Farr  provided a lot of details on Toledo to writers for show. i.e. "Tony Packo's, greatest Hungarian hot dogs, with chili peppers, 35 cents, and a cold beer!" which is a real eatery.

     

    Dated a girl in college whose family was Hungarian.  I really enjoyed the food but I enjoy a large variety of food and even had a job as a food taster once.

     

     

    Yep, been to Tony Packo’s and sadly it seemed to be more of a tourist trap than a for real place to eat.

    LOL, well yeah, when you begin a season with more than reasonable hopes and expectations for winning a Super Bowl, with winning the division all but a given, then lose to three of the worst teams in the league, the Jets, Broncos, and Pats, while nearly losing to two more, all while watching your offensive production plummet with one of the league's top QBs under center, and subsequently find yourself facing the Jets in a must-win game for 2nd place in the division as well as for mathematically keeping already slim playoff hopes alive, ... that'll contribute heavily to the critical nature of the fans.  Don't ya think?  

     

    Should that be considered unreasonable?  

     

     

     

     

    Did I state that it was unreasonable?  I simply said the place is more negative as people’s expectations are not fulfilled.

    I’ve just stayed away from the board.  I’ll never give up on the Bills.

     

     

     

    Yep, this place has a very strong negative bias. (Probably true of all similar boards).  It gets tiresome.  

     

    In a weird way, this place was more interesting and fun during the drought years.  At least then you would get a mix of hope and disappointment.  

     

    Now there is a huge overlay of winning expectations that that seems to be making people responsively negative as their expectations are not met.

    What do you choose to order when you go to your favorite restaurant?

    in Off the Wall

    Posted

    Choosing what you will eat is a very personal choice. It may depend on your mood, your cravings, your budget and a myriad of other factors.  How do you handle the order at your favorite place?

     

    I tend to order the same thing.  However, this is not always the case, as I will listen to the specials and sometime order one.  It may also depend on where I am as “favorites” are often different by city.  I used to travel a lot for business and I would often seek out unique ethnic places in the city I was in.  For example I had a favorite Peking duck place in Vancouver.  I might not order Peking duck elsewhere.

     

    There is a whole science to how people order and how restaurants construct their menus.  How does this play into your ordering game?

    The elephant in the room that there is no thread about - Josh Allen has a severe turnover problem

    Great point.

     

    There hasn't been enough discussion about Josh's turnovers in the media and on this message board and by Josh himself and by the coaches who are both here and fired.

     

    I think we're all happy you created this thread.

     

     

    This is an internet message board so I will quietly golf clap as I consider your valuable input.

    If Josh does not find some way to cut down on the turnovers he will likely continue to be both a Bills game killer and may even severely stain his career.  Josh is no doubt a first ballot HOF talent. Josh also has the talent to win multiple Lombardi’s

     

    Whether he achieves these outcomes may largely depend on his ability to cut down on the turnovers. In the Bills losses this year Josh has been a turnover factory.  yes, batted balls, strips and the like are not always his “fault.”  However, the statistics don’t lie.  Josh is boom or bust and lately he has been far more prone to bust.

     

    We as fans will have zero impact here.  However, I wonder if Brady as a new OC will literally and figuratively help Josh get a handle on the situation.  Josh has turned around weaknesses in his game in many ways.  Turnovers now remain the last most obvious hurdle where he needs to do so.

     

    As a contrarian point, Josh is not among the worst at interception % among the all time “greats.”  It’s apples and oranges due to the prevalence of the pass game in the modern era but on a straight up % Jim Kelly and Dan Marino  were worse. For a better comparison to “modern era” QB’s Aaron Rogers is far better (and can be a gunslinger).

    I would guess that Beane and the coaches do but Terry not so much. It has to be brutal for them to read the fan feedback but tough they brought it on themselves. They need to clean house coaches, Beane etc. I think Terry has no choice but to do it with the new stadium coming. Fans will just stop buying into the same old crap over and over again.

     

     

    I highly doubt anyone high in the Bills food chain reads here.  There is probably somebody in marketing / PR team that does. Why not? It’s free feedback for the Bills.  I highly doubt there is no it much discussed here that would come as a surprise to the Bills anyway.

    Allen has been in a funk since last year. Brady has been his QB Coach. Not sure that’s the guy that is going to pull him out of it. Time will tell I guess.

     

     

    Remember that Josh was (maybe is no longer?) a Dorsey supporter.  I think the Dorsey firing may be a message to Josh also.  

     

    Hard to say because josh is Josh and no coach will ever take the gunslinger out of him.  The question is goes Brady have the hutzpah and ability to work with this?  Dabol seemed to be able to do so.

     

    The other major issue is that Dorsey seemed to have no creativity with the run game.  I would say the same was true with Dabol.  One way to mak Josh better is to give him the threat of a run game.  This will likely mean moving him back under center more and playing RPO less.

     

    I know it is a completely different era of football but Jim Kelly does not achieve what he did without Thurman.  In the modern era Josh needs to develop trust with his running backs as does the team.  We will not return to the bell cow RB situation but opposing teams need to perceive there is at least the threat of Buffalo running the ball.

    is there a HC out there worth going after?

    Funny you mention a coach-for-coach trade.

     

    I was just thinking last night if we could pull one off with the Giants.

     

    They get McD who is good for fixing a bottom-5 team. We get Dabol who our players love and would fix our offense.

     

    Git r dun

     

     

    Just pure speculation but i think Dabol may have worn out his welcome in Buffalo.

    Josh's shoulder injury?

    With Josh's mishandling of the ball on hand offs , it makes me wonder if he has numbness in hands because dropping the ball twice while handing it off should just not happen, thats pee wee level stuff. Maybe he's getting pain killer shots thats making it difficult to feel the ball , could also explain his errant throws ??

     

     

    I think it has more to do with RPO … on RPO plays Josh is far more often likely to keep the ball.  Maybe Cook was playing it slow soft to let Josh keep it……
