‘85 rematch upcoming? Yuck 🤮.

Cam Ward is the Owen Power of #1 overall picks.

You can look at the 2019 draft as McBeane’s “original sin” (I’m not going to blame draft solely on Beane - you’re nuts if you think McDermott doesn’t have huge input into draft process). Maybe you live with Oliver over Wilkins, Simmons and Lawrence, but Cody Ford instead of A.J. Brown or Metcalf was a franchise-changing mistake. I keep on harping over the fact that they must have done at least some scouting on Brown and Metcalf since they drafted Dawson Knox a round later. All three played at Mississippi State!

It’s really insane when you think about it. Do you think our offense would look like this if we had an offensive minded HC and GM from the get-go of Allen’s career? First priority would be get Josh an offensive line that could protect him. Second get him some weapons. Third, fashion a defense which is high risk, high reward, i. e. designed to get the ball back in Josh’s hands as many times and as soon as possible. I’m thinking the Rams defense during the Greatest Show on Turf era. Instead, we have a ball control offense designed to minimize turnovers and a bend but don’t break defense which fails in the post-season every damn time. It’s crazy.

I’m not sure if it’s such a mystery that the Bills and Chiefs are struggling somewhat this season. I remember after the four year Super Bowl run people were pointing out that the Bills played close to a full extra season in those playoffs and it took a toll. Chiefs and Bills have played a lot of extra games over the last several seasons. Maybe it’s taking a toll. Why weren’t the Patriots impacted the same way you might ask. Well, they almost always had a bye and almost always were at home. Plus, they were ruthless in turning over veteran players and bringing in younger, cheaper players.

Isiah Hodgkins caught one for the Giants.

Yeah, Lamb should have caught it, but what a horrendous series of play calls from the Cowgirls.

First one was BS. Second one was marginal. Didn’t hit him in the knee. Hit him in the upper thighs.

BS call on the Colts already. Jawyn Taylor special only not as egregious.

Went looking to see where this might rank in the record books and weird, couldn't find it other than record for a playoff game (Sam Darnold, 82 yards lost against the Rams). If this had been a playoff game, would have ranked second all time. In other words, that's a lot of yards lost resulting from sacks.

I mentioned this in a prior post but can’t get over the incredulous nature of this stat. In the entire 17 game 2024 season, Bills QB’s lost a total of 68 yards resulting from sacks. Thursday night we lost 70 yards from sacks, more in a single game than the entire 2024 season. Just mind-blowing.

We need to go outside the organization for both new OC and DC next year. No more promoting from within. If Mike McDaniel or Stefanski are fired after the season and they can’t get HC gigs, I’d hire them in a heartbeat. Hell, I’d make Stefanski HC if he could convince Schwartz to come along as DC.

Hasn't this been covered to death? It wouldn't be the end of the world to not resign a single FA. Maybe bring back McGovern, possibly Bosa, maybe not. Lots of guys going to be gone.

What??? Houston’s offense may be average but the defense is anything but. It’s elite. Stats back that up. Far and away #1 defense in points and yards. And they haven’t had NE’s schedule either. They have played tons of teams with winning records and high powered offenses.

After the SB loss to the Giants, the consolation was thinking “this team is way too talented not to win a SB”. The 1990 Bills should have won it all that year. Thoroughly out coached in the SB. But next year, ran into a really, really good Redskins team. Redskins were better. After that, the post Hershel Walker Cowboys. Cowboys were better. I always wondered how it would have played out if we had traded for Charles Haley and if he and Bruce Smith were rushing the passer instead of Haley going to the Cowboys. Maybe we end up winning one. Of course, that was pre-salary cap and Ralph was cheap.
