May Day 10

It's heart breaking to see White's anguish. Great guy, and a great player who truly loves playing the game. I'm guessing it's bad. You can feel and hear a pop just from a calf tear like burrow has... but the training and medical staff can figure out generally how severe in a matter of seconds. It seems everyone knew. I rehabbed from an acl tear. It was a frustrating, time consuming process. I couldn't imagine having another catastrophic injury after that and dealing with that mountain ahead. Tre can do it though and he will be back in the nfl, hopefully with the bills. I'm hoping everyone is wrong and it turns out to be a calf strain. Sit him out for a few months and as good as new.

Week 1 is preseason now. Sloppy football and strange results across the board

It looks like they have given up.

Can they just flex the jets out of prime time the rest of the season? Is there anyone who would object?

Rousseau was a dominant player

James Cook (and to some extent latavious murray) have been what this offense has lacked to date. It makes them so much more rounded and difficult to stop. Kincaid and a committee of Cook, Harty, sherfield, etc are an element missing since Beasley aged out. The o-line is also looking quality, but the build and rounded Ness of the offense helps. Defense also looks terrific so far. All there d-lineman they drafted (Oliver, Rousseau, epinesa) all look like monsters and we have von Miller coming back. Overall I was very nervous and tentative in my confidence coming into the season. Now I'm thinking this may be the best they have been.

Yes, if you read the article, there seems to be a current from Bills alumni that they feel pushed away/ignored by the organization (including members of the AFL Championship worrying they are going to ignore the 60th anniversary next year). Spikes took it upon himself to publicize it a bit maybe and push the 'issue' to the forefront. Its enough where it got people talking about it and Bills executives had to/have to answer questions about it. I do think it is a bit of a low blow to be honest. I do get where they are coming from overall. Both Bills and Sabres alumni have been pushed to the backburner under this ownership. Honoring/remembering the past just doesn't seem to be a priority

It sounds like it was embellished by spikes to shine light on issues that have been putting off alumni. Lots of other info in that article. The Sabres have the same issue under pegula. They seem to have forgotten or don't care about the history of the team. No more hall of fame inductions or any of that stuff. Only the cheap pop of retiring Ryan miller's number (which is a joke). Last sabres hof induction was hawerchuk in 2011. Ignoring the history and not serving platters of nostalgia is a pet peeve of mine Now we can't have Jim Kelly yelling at Marcel darius for kneeling during the anthem, but the bills need to meet somewhere in the middle.

Its a shame. This is maybe the best Pac 12 season as far as the conference top-to-bottom, including the biggest story in college football (Colorado). Its adding a lot of flavor to NCAA football (which has been drab outside the Pac 12 to be honest). Pac 12 is necessary flavoring and it is going to be sucky it is gone

Its still not close

That and the fallacy of sunk costs. That was supposed to be Trevor Lawrence in a tank year, but Frank Gore had to pile up yards in a meaningless game

People forget that he was becoming unpopular here near the end of his tenure. They had some sluggish games various parts of that season. Then we had the 'perfect game' and 13 seconds which were the best 2 offensive performances in the history of this franchise, and that is what everyone remembers. I think Daboll was a very good coordinator. I do think it is probably a good thing to change it up with coordinators every few years (as long as your QB is indoctrinated into the NFL and can deal/adapt). No matter what a coordinator does, Im sure tendencies and predictability exist on some level once they hit 3-4-5 seasons with the same Offense (or defense).

I do like his enthusiasm and he does a decent job... He suffers from the same problem that Murphy has though. I listened to the first 20 minutes of the game on the radio yesterday. You have little idea of down/distance or the depth of a play. Van Miller used to paint that picture so well and build that information into the intensity of his voice and calling the game. "Theres a pass out there to Kincaid... he grabs the ball! He is brought down there by XXXX. Nice quick pass there by Allen who was already feeling some pressure from his left side. They only gained 3 yards though and its 3rd and 7. Most plays can be anywhere from 1 yard to 12 yards and you don't really know for too long. Id say Brown is a little better at giving those details on a timely basis than Murphy.

I don't feel bad for the Jets and their fans at all. They tried to skip to the front of the line by putting all their chips on a 40 year old QB. I heard so much hype, and they were planning their Super Bowl trips. Not to mention, Rodgers as they face of it is a bad look as he has become insufferable. Their fans can and will just shape-shift into Yankees or Mets fans for the playoffs (whoops).

At one point, we had an embarrassment of riches, especially on the blue line. Myers (still very young, but not a prospect at that time), Zadorov, Ristolainen, Pysyk, McNabb were all blue chip D 1st Round level prospects. There were also guys like Compher and Lemieux who were highly rated around that time... plus Grigorenko and Girgensons drafted in the first round, not to mention the promise of the upcoming tank picks. They also possessed a ton of draft capital at that point. Under Murray, they squandered much of that and also failed to develop, and lost organizational assets at pennies on the dollar. Now, they have the organizational/prospect depth at forward (while also have top 3 young NHL defenseman). It looks like they are developing well. I think they hit a grand slam on Benson falling to them. Still need to put it all together and get over the hump to be a relevant NHL franchise.

You are probably right. If the Bills had a developmental team, I think I could (possibly) be compelled to watch

I havent watched anything in the Spring since the first ever XFL game a long time ago... and that got boring and I tuned out by halftime. I dont know what can move the needle for me to be compelled to watch. I dont like the cities/markets they always choose. NY, LA, St Louis, DC, Seattle, Houston, etc. The team names and identities are also very boring. They try to be extreme for the sake of it and as a result, you have miscellaneous brands and logos that represent the CPU generated teams on Madden or something. I believe if they went more regional, played in smaller venues, in places where people will go and care about the team.... maybe enough heat can be brought where it is interesting to watch for atmosphere? I dont care about 'bad football'. I have watched a ton of compelling and entertaining MAC games. I guess these leagues try to be "NFL Jr" and in Vince McMahon's case even intended to compete with the NFL, it is offputting. They need to know their place, find their nitch, get some traction, and grow it. Not start the league, play in front of 60,000 people and sign giant TV deals.

For as bad as last week felt (honestly we are a year or 2 more of terrible Week 1 games from everyone jokingly referring to Week 1 as 'preseason')... That was possibly the most complete and impressive Bills win I can remember. Obviously you have the perfect game in the playoffs vs New England, some of the other blowouts and all that... This was 38-10 and it wasn't that close. No huge plays though, no hero ball, Diggs didnt need to have 10 for 150 and 2 TDs, Allen didnt need to rush for 50. But the presence of James Cook completely changes everything. He has home run potential all the time... and he can catch passes. Everything was just greased because of that and the offense was everything everyone wants. Harris and Murray were the perfect complements to that. 9 Players caught passes, and 5 players had 3+ receptions. Allen was nearly perfect efficiency-wise and didn't need to run. Short, efficient, safe, moved the chains (needed to be a bit better on 3rd down). Defense kind of had their hands full with Adams early, but clamped down and Jacobs had his worst game. Hopefully they can keep it up vs Washington, then the real test will be against Miami. Really liked what we saw yesterday (how could you not?). Sustainable and methodical

I thought it was no big deal, and figured everyone behind the scenes would just laugh it off... but the fact that it seems to have irritated Diggs means she should be let go. This cant happen with a Bills in-house media staffer who can be replaced in 30 seconds.

The thing that gets to me, and is now old/alarming... I don't understand how this team chronically loses these games where they are the better team, have assumed control, and need a comedy of errors to lose. Not even one or 2 big plays. You can point to 6 or 7 (often far-fetched) plays that all needed to happen in order for the Bills to lose these games. You name it: Houston playoff game, Vikings game, Jets game last year, Ill include the Miami sun-stroke game, this past Monday night game, 13 seconds, the Patriots wind game, the Jacksonville meltdown, Titans Monday night. There seems to be an inordinate number of close games they lose, often give the game away, as opposed to close games they gut out. A seemingly detail-oriented coach like McDermott should have his team buttoned up in these situations. But instead, meltdowns happen, whether its dropping the ball in the end zone vs the vikings, not knocking a pass down in the same game, allowing a punt return in OT, the entire 13 seconds sequence, etc. Why is this happening? I feel like they have lost a huge opportunity for a few Super Bowl appearances at a minimum.

I find this to be no big deal. And if she doesn't like it here, she can go back to Tennessee and see how she likes it there

Just from what I publicly know about Terry Pegula over the past 12 or so years... I cannot picture him saying something like that. I remember him even putting out a statement going against Donald trump and getting behind Lesean McCoy. The Bills allowed the players to do as they wanted during that whole thing. Maybe below the surface he could be slightly prejudiced. Most white men that age seem to be susceptible to that (boomers)

It was actually a terrible, unentertaining football game featuring quarterbacks Zach Wilson and someone who played worse than Zach Wilson

Jp ej peterman

Plays looked telegraphed and predictable. It didn't help that Allen's turnovers lit the game on fire though
