  1. Landry is the type of guy you love on your team but hate when you play against him.  Was hit hit on Williams dirty, sure was.  Are we really to pretend that our players don't have any dirty hits either?  We need more WR depth and I'd take a tough, blocking, dependable short yardage guy for sure.

    The AFC is going to be so difficult to win going forward. With Mahomes, Allen, Burrows, Herbert and Jackson potentially being playoff opponents every year (that's not including the possibility of Rodgers coming to the AFC or Lawrence/Jones becoming good). It could potentially be a Slugfest. You could have an AFC playoff picture that has: Allen, Burrows, Herbert, Jackson, Rodgers, Mahomes and Carr in next year and you are going to have to beat 2 maybe 3 verd good/elite QBs to get into the SB.

    Kind of feel like Jackson is falling off the top tier list with the other guys.  Teams have figured out that if you contain his running and make  him throw outside the numbers, he is very controllable.  I feel like the other 4 are significantly better than he is.

    So I'm looking to buy a project house...smaller but I want to add to it.  I want to add around 500 sq ft and there's plenty of room for that.

     

    I've been told to borrow money from your 401K for a loan, you won't be penalized and you just payback what you took out.  But, there's no interest.

     

    Home Equity Line, if the bubble pops...would that put me in a huge hole?

     

    I've never taken out a personal loan so I have no idea the years or interest rate on them.

     

    I'm going to be putting roughly $35,000 - $40,000 in renovations/additions in the house.

     

    What would be my best financial plan?

    I'm not sure the part about zero interest in always true.  I am pretty sure when I looked into this (over 10 years ago) there was interest, but it was extremely low.  I can remember thinking "well, at least I'd be paying the interest to myself".  I never actually took out the loan so I'm not 100% on my memory.  But maybe it depends on your 401(k) or maybe I am just getting old and misremembering things.  I'd still do this any day over taking a bank loan.

    I don' know if this was ever brought up so sorry if I'm repeating this. But why didn't they set up one Bills defensive player to solely watch Mahomes if he gets out of the pocket and scamper for big yards? We could have held him for little or no gain and forced them to punt maybe 2 - 3 times in the game. That would have been huge!

    Takes another guy out of coverage of Hill and Kelce.  Also, Mahomes really didn't run that much this season.

  6. His progression this year was very impressive.  Looking forward to a long term extension for him.  I may have gained the most respect for him in the way that he carried him self while being arrested for DUI with zero alcohol or drugs in his system.  He just calmly followed the officers instructions.  That situation could have been so much worse (especially considering he had a gun in the car).  Thankfully he kept a cool, calm, and collected head about himself.

    It's still mind blowing the Bills lost to this guy, and in hindsight it's essentially the game that cost them home field over the Chiefs in the playoffs.

     

    This is the type of stuff the Pegulas truly need to consider if McDermott doesn't deliver next year.

    It's the NFL.  Every single player in the league is an extremely talented and gifted athlete who can do incredible things most of us cannot even comprehend.  Good teams lose to bad teams every single year.  Even during our SB runs we had clunkers that we lost.  For example, 1992 week 14 loss to a 4-12 Jets team at home while the division was still on the line.  Get over it.

    Same with Beane.  We have a coach & GM who have turned this team around COMPLETELY from the drought years.  They've brought in the right players, coached them up, gameplanned well and changed the culture.  

     

    The Buffalo Bills are now one of the best teams in the league, and have a window that's open for miles.

     

    I don't know what happened in the last 13 seconds of that game, but clearly, coaching errors were made.  From the kickoff, to the soft coverage, to singling on Kelce, to rushing 4.  But I saw those kinds of coaching mistakes all weekend, in all 4 games.  McVeigh is generally considered one of the best up & comers, and that game was almost a comedy of errors while the Rams gave up a 20 point lead and almost let that slip away. And look at Reid, who we all agree is one of the top coaches in the league now - Philly fans celebrated when he moved on.  He had years of futility in big games there, and was particularly known for terrible clock management.

     

    We have a good one.  McD may never be elite, but there are so few elite coaches out there.  He's very good, and you stick w/ that.  He'll keep learning, and keep getting better in these situations.

     

    When you can lead a team to the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor as your QB, you are an elite coach IMO.

  9. When you have basically only blowout wins and close losses it is more a reflection of bad luck than anything else.  6 games is in no way shape or form a statistically significant sample size (most agree its more like 100 events, but some say more like 30).  Flip a coin 6 times and there is a decent chance you may get heads 6 times or tails 6 times.  Toss it 100 times and you are going to get something like somewhere between 35-65 split almost every time.

     

    Players care about wins and losses, not by how much.  That's for fans to nitpick about.

    The odds should have been greater than that it seems? The stars were certainly all aligned for the Bills. From their ridiculously easy schedule, to having virtually the same great 13-3 squad from the previous year. 13 seconds of infamy. This debacle will not age well over time. Next year Bills will face almost EVERY good QB in the league. Truly will NEVER have an easier path to a world championship. Bengals aren't quite there yet, and the Rams/49ers both had flaws. I can accept a missed field goal, but 13 seconds? 36 hours later and the stench of this loss is even worse. I'd give McDermott 2 more years. We can't afford to waste Allen's premium years on another knucklehead. Great coaches would gladly come to Buffalo to coach Allen.      

    "The path was so easy this year" is such a bunch of crap.  The only path that is important is the one to the SB.  And that goes through the chiefs 3 years ago, 2 years ago, this season, and will next season as well.  And even if we won, we still had 2 more games to go.  So please stop with that non-sense.

    Just throwing it back at you since you seem to have an attitude in your original posts with your "Didn't think so" and "Got it" remarks. I will try and be nicer to you snowflake.

    No need, you are going on my ignore list now.  Anyone who says "snowflake" is a complete tool who I have no desire to read what they write or engage with.  But go ahead, get your last word in, because I guarantee you are that type of guy that just absolutely has to.

    look, you make good points, the fact remains, the coaching mistakes on our team cost us a great win.  the 13 seconds thing is just too much.

     

    fair point about reid too, but people called him a choker and a guy who doesn't run a tight ship, and at the time at least those were very accurate criticisms.

    Very well may have.  But to call for him to be fired is absolutely absurd.  And that is what many are doing.

    If I could have one wish for the Bills it would be for Belichick to coach this team. 

    Did Andy Reid have a 3 point lead with 13 seconds left to play and the Bills on their own 25 and lose? Didn't think so.

    Allen had a decent amount of time on the clock. Their was 13 ****ing seconds for the Chiefs when they started at their 25. Got it now.

    Ahhh, so you are one of those type of guys who has to take the last sentence of a poster and copy it to theirs.  So petty.  What are you, 12 years old?

    So giving up 2 TDs in the final 2 minutes doesn't qualify as choking, but giving up 2 plays does.  Got it.

     

    One step further....how many years being a head coach did it take Reid to win a SB?  It took him 21 seasons.  7 to even get to it.  Now he's widely considered one of the best coaches.
