May Day 10

I wonder if this witch doctor they hired for strength and conditioning has anything to do with the injuries, especially all the preseason ones.

The bills should hire him just to do stuff like this.

tecmo joe cant deviate from his play chart

I dont believe McDermott/Beane are in any danger of being fired. Also, Beane is mostly a grocery-getter for McDermott. He deals primarily in a lot of the numbers, contract stuff, etc. It is possible that he has made such of the botch that the Bills could move on from him, but not McDermott. I would be shocked though because it seems that McDermott/Beane/Pegula have a great working relationship/dynamic as far as they are concerned. The onus is on McDermott to change. It does seem like their metamorphosis into William and Mary is complete and you would assume McDermott is happy with that. Also, you probably suspect that he recognizes that the passing game is broken. Turnovers and timely catches by Hollins seemed to mask that last year and keep it at bay with their 30-point or greater streak. I can see them moving on from the coordinators. Unfortunately I dont see how there is wiggle room to really change the roster all that much for 2026. Lots of money spent and a ton of Void year money.

first to say the Bills should hire him as OC (not going to happen)

I was one who thought Diggs was at the end. Especially after his ACL with his skills and his age. Boy, he sure looks terrific now. Really impressive to come out of the ACL recovery like this.

I have felt this way since Diggs was still on the team. At that point, they needed a 2nd receiver. Now Diggs is gone, it is years later and they have added nothing of value at WR.

Id be surprised if he is back before Christmas. Hamstrings are the worst. Come back a hair too soon and you pop it and return right back to square one. There is no real remedy for it other than not running full speed for as long as you can.

I don't believe the Bills are out of it or done. Could definitely be a team that clicks and wins 4 playoff games in a row... But looking at the schedules, how the Bills are built and playing, looking at the Patriots (even the Colts/Broncos/Chargers)... it is a huge uphill climb at this point. I haven't felt that the Bills have been this vulnerable since Covid. The fact that there is no/zero wide receiver threat at all is unprecedented in a real contending team. Kincaid pulled his hammy and is probably going to out past Christmas and he was the only credible threat past 5 yards down the field. Cook is good, but stop him and the offense is done. Defense is broken/injured, undersized and any back who runs downhill is going to feed them their lunch. They can sell out to stop the RB, but then, any of the other 31 teams who have a better WR room than the Bills will make them pay. They are going to need to perform a pretty extensive surgery on this roster. So much dead money tied up in worthless, redundant, aging, and/or oft-injured players. The world is New England's oyster for the time being with a good coach, good OC, hungry roster, and a competent QB on a rookie deal.

No, but at the bottom is pretty bad company there. Terrible saints in a smaller market is almost double and still near the bottom. Jets are way above. With that said, the patriots are a better team than the bills right now and have a much better short term outlook

They have assimilated into full William and Mary status. 1 Dimensional running ball control offense. Small, fast, and brittle defense. When it works, looks great. When it fails, its terrible. Any team with a downhill running back will kill them.

Wait until new England and diggs get home field and make the superbowl. Its coming

They have succeeded in making their offense completely 1-dimensional. That, along with their typical undersized defense can get them leveraged pretty easily now, especially against a good RB. With Kincaid out now likely several weeks, their only consistent downfield passing threat, this could get pretty bad.

I think it is the worst regular season loss. The Colts game was bad, but indy was rolling for a few weeks and you could see that one coming. This was a butt kicking from a supposedly inferior team. Its a loss that does a lot of damage to their hopes for the season. The bills didn't look prepared, nothing worked, and they did not execute. Miami was all-in and came to play. Embarrassing. Being somewhat prepared and motivated was supposed to be a hallmark trait of this team under mcdermott. They seem to be sliding a bit, but personnel issues are compounding things

"Tecmo Joe" Brady's 4 predictable plays arent working, which spells unmitigated disaster for the Bills

Coleman is really awful

Pegula just wants to get his kicks being president of the sabres. He bought them because he was a bored rich guy. Not a fan He will not cede control until he is dead. He is too stubborn and selfish. He stopped engaging the fans many years ago and won't even be seen there. Doesn't care as long as he gets to play with his toy. His family will sell the sabres when he dies. They will be worth $1 billion right now to an out of town interest. No binding lease, no building.

Ohio beat Miami OH last night. It is right in front of UB. They have to beat Central Michigan on the road this Saturday. Then they host both Ohio and Miami OH in kind of a playoff. They control their own destiny.

Garrett Wilson must be super excited about being pegged to remain on the jets

If Beane doesnt do anything, I swear I will tune into the game Sunday at 1PM.

Did Jerry Jones find out he has 6 months to live or something?

I think it is very odd for the Colts. They probably aren't sustainably good. Sauce has shown warts the past 2 seasons. I guess it is really good for the Jets. They need a deep rebuild and by the time they are ready to compete, Sauce will have slowed down (3 years?)

Im happy to see him there. Murph is a generally good dude and he bleeds Bills colors and is also part of the tapestry of WNY. I also enjoyed his work as a radio host for one bills live and other things. I maintain that he was a dreadful pbp announcer and worse than Brown. It was almost impossible to listen and figure out what was going on. Down, distance, where a pass was caught (2, 5, 10, 20 yards? just 'caught there by x') wasnt great at describing a play. Would also fall back into the crutch of repeating things when he was excited.

I agree that the stadium is a problem. I like UB and the MAC, but attending games is not a good experience. OP sums it up.
