    The NFL teams who have already tried this many times, making this an apples to apples comparison to the Bills don't care about your oranges to apples comparison you are trying to make.

    Maybe it should. If anything jet lag would affect athletes much more than it would me.

    Teams have tried pretty much everything from going over super early to going how the Bills did. If it worked better going over early, teams would still be doing that since that's what they initially tried. 

     

    It was found to have the LEAST effect on performance going over late which is the standard protocol now, but it's still significant.

     

     

    Not my (non athletic) experience.    Plus you could see the Bills were just plain off, which is how jet lag manifests itself,  versus the Jags who were there for over a week.  IMO the "standard protocol" should be looked at hard. But I'm no high priced NFL consultant.

    I agree. Waiting on word? This BS international c rap is worthless.  Nobody even shows up to Jacksonville home games so let em rot in England. Huge disadvantage today for the Bills.

    If there was, it is on the Bills.  The stadium was rocking like a home game. The Bills bonehead front office blew that game as much as anyone for not going over several days earlier than they did.

    I'm irritated we got to be the experimental lamb for the NFL screwing some team over with this scheduling

     

    They could have gone over any time they wanted.  These players are only used to cali jet lag which is nothing.  I travel a lot to europe and for example if you make the mistake of sleeping on the plane it will take 2-3 days before you are right.  Assuming that played into it, which is real likely it did at least some, that's on the Bills.

    No matter how you spin it it’s wrong. 
     

    Tua leads the league in two categories. 
    shortest time of release

    Furthest depth of target. 
     

    it’s almost unfathomable to lead both of those. 
     

    they put hill and waddle in motion and have them running nearly top speed at the snap which the bills will have to deal with it because it’s impossible to stop when you are flat footed because they will both run by you. 

     

    The good news is, if we can see that, then the coaching staff has been aware for some time.  We'll see in a week what that came up with to deal with it.

    Fans, players and his own coaches bashing him is not a good look. You are going to drive him out of town. He is the best QB we ever had imo, definitely since Jim Kelly. I blame the coaches, we need an offensive minded head coach. Imagine if Kyle Shannan had Josh Allen, we need a guy like that. That’s the only way we will finally get that Super Bowl, defense doesn’t win championships anymore. McDermott has to go!

    FFS, Allen SUCKED. Everyone knows it,  including him.  He is not some little sissy that is going to take his ball and go elsewhere because people state the obvious.  Get over it and move on.

    Say what you want this division is going to be a dogfight, we’re going to beat the snot out of each other.  We could have 4 division losses by the time it’s all said and done.

     

     

    Or none!  Wild season, should be a wild ride!

    When you think of what some of us have experienced in our lifetimes when it comes to television, it's quite remarkable.  We got our first black and white TV...a cabinet model with an indoor antenna when I was maybe 5 years old.  We got 3 channels.  4 if you counted public television.  Then we graduated to color.  I remember when cable came out.  So many channels...it was heaven.  I had satellite for awhile when Time Warner lost the NFL Network then went back to cable when I relocated to WNY and my current home.  I switched to streaming in 2018 after my Mom passed away.  (She would never have been able to handle streaming...especially the remote controls on the Roku and Apple TV.)  So some of us have experienced it all.  Change is inevitable.

    Agreed.  I can't even watch sports in SD with a low framerate now after having such great quality for several years.  I turned into such a B word that way ;)

    Got to love how these ridiculous opinions don't budge even after seeing Cinci and KC get wrecked in Week 1. 

    Not sure I'd call KC losing by a point to a team that should be decent this year getting wrecked.

    But Cinci ... um ... yeah ;)

    thing is now the bills still have an opportunity to either look like one of the better afc teams out the gate or like the chiefs and bengals did? I made a prediction in the predict the score thread, 31-24, bills win. not that I know yet what I would like to see and feel they're capable of, but I don't know. all will know after monday nights game and homer, what ever one is called for pulling for the win, I hope they end up looking like one of the better afc contenders, with a win in jersey.

    I have no freaking idea what to expect tomorrow night other than it should be a lot of fun to watch.

    Either team could win by 20 or lose by 20 ... or by 1 :)

    They showed the KC & Bills highlights back to back on ESPN yesterday.  It was painfully easy to see how much more protection Mahomes has, and how much more time in the pocket.

    Not uncommon for teams with defense minded head coaches to see the D get more love off season, and show during the season.

    But they did put some effort into the line this past off season.  Hopefully they just need more time together.

  11. 1) The Bills 1's need to stop reading the Buffalo press about how great they are and read some national press, some of which has them at 2nd or even 3rd in a stacked AFCE.

     

    2) McD seems like the kind of coach that can use that kind of crap-fest to the teams advantage.  First get together start off with "You guys Fing sucked out there! If anyone thinks their spot on this roster is guaranteed, they better get their head out of their a$$ pretty damn quick!" ... and then get rude.

     

    Bonus:  Impressed with non-Josh Allen so far.

    Kind of seems like weird timing.

     

    Why not wait until 2023 plays out as I believe this was not the last year on their contracts 

    Probably figure they aren't going to do any better so double down and go for it. Plus remember, it's not just about a superbowl.  It's about making money.  And this current team puts asses in the seats, even these considerably more expensive ones.

    Wait I actually like this. He was injured last year IIRC but was playing really well when the Rams first drafted him.

    Missed most of last season with a concussion.  That's a long time for a concussion, but roll the dice with a 1 year contract 👌

    Ouch.

     

    “Guys were exhausted during the week and our coaches did the best they could try to modify the week . . . but there was just uncharacteristic things that were kind of happening . . . I have to kind of put that into effect and not as an excuse just this team has been fighting for so long and fighting through all of this adversity you almost run out of gas at some point,” Saffold said

    Utter BS.  They are professional athletes with a week between games to get un-emotionally-drained. Plus this wasn't some meaningless game, if was the freaking playoffs ... AT HOME for gods sake.  The Bengals out GM'd (players), coached, and played the Bills and as much is it may sting,  it's really as simple as that.  Making or accepting excuses isn't going to help. I'm not a "fire everyone" person, but the Bills organization needs to recognize the situation before it can be corrected.

    I assume you disagreed with McD's correct call to go for it om 4th down vs. Tennessee last year too. When you have QB's like Josh or Lamar, you go for it. 

    I don't remember that specifically.  But calls like that are game situation based and far more involved that saying I have a solid QB so I'm going for it.  I think a lot of the time McDermott thinks along the same lines as you do though.
