It's a Bills game, the opponent is irrelevant. Dinner with the fam, remote and local.

Stable pony for Elam to see if he can be salvaged. Teach Elam McD's defense. Last chance for the youngster.

John Roth is a long time friend of Terry but from what i recall he had zero professional sports experience upon his hiring. He was an accomplished executive at a wealth management firm. Maybe Terry realized this guys limitations at running his sports teams.
Just like Terrance.

If things keep going downhill in NE, then Bill might become available. Look at what he has done when he had a franchise QB and a solid roster to work with.
I could not disagree more. Think about what he has now, gets paid (I assume) a crap-ton of money to stay current in football information and go to a studio to talk football Sundays with others in the same situation. No HC pressures like fans or owners, prima donna players and their agents. Plus, they get to go to every superbowl, again with zero pressure. He would have to be insane to take another HC job with any team.

Has anyone had a good look at the replay? It seemed live that Allen had Shakir open immediately but didn't see it, then soft balled the throw when he did target him. Seemed similar to a play with Harty earlier in the year.
He lobbed it out there thinking Shakir had a easy stroll into the endzone and wanted to make sure of the catch is all.

The Bills were completely out of their element today and their whole entire roster was decimated w/ injuries including their top 3 CBs on several series. Josh played like crap, but had zero run game to help him out. McD was completely outclassed by a SB winning coach. With that being said…
What the hell was that? Bills had 11 flags for 109 yards (Jags 8/56) thrown and seemingly every single time the offense began clicking. Just one after the other like clockwork. I know it’s low hanging fruit to pick on the refs, but today was as bad of an officiated game as I’ve ever seen.
You can't have a Bills loss without this thread. Just as 1 rebuttal, what about the roughing he passer in the 4th when Josh tucked the ball and lowered his head into the contact. Some Bills fans just can't help but think as you do, but it's not one sided. You have largely elderly men doing the best they can with ridiculous rules. Is it perfect, of course not. But it's not some kind of conspiracy against the Bills either.

I feel like making the Bills play in London against a team that was already there for a week ahead of time was kind of like making the players wear hiking boots to play the game. Or something like that.
Come on man, they could have gone over there in plenty of time to get over the jet lag. It's on the Bills FO. They made a painful mistake, now its time to have some fun and kick the crap out of the NJ Giants.
The Jets are nothing without Rogers, the pats are less than nothing. The fish are good but not great. The Bills could win the AFCE still or get a wildcard if they can manage to get out of their own way.

The way this offense can go from running like a sports car to a dump truck in 7 days is baffling. At some point the roller coaster needs to stop. We have all seen how great this team can be. We only get so many chances with Allen at the helm. Beane has to be at least pondering the idea of coaching being the issue. Also is there an issue with this teams conditioning? Lots of injuries the past 2-3 years.
My ideal is a quality head coach and McD as the DC, which he is good at and where he belongs IMO.

Why would they be on Eastern Standard time when they are further away than California that is 3 hours behind?
At minimum they should be 3 hours ahead of NYC.
No reason to dampen a quality rant with logic 😂

1. They are stupidly proud of their Greenwich Mean Time that wreaks havoc with travelers and American football teams. This made sense in 1880 when London was the figurative Center of the World. It is not 1880. Now YOU adapt. Go to Eastern Standard Time already.
2. They are stupidly proud of their Foreign Oligarch and Hedge Fund Manager League erroneously know as the English Premier League, so much so that they protect their precious English turf grass by making other events play on a substandard carpet that wouldn't be out of place in the indoor portion of a Walmart Garden Center.
3. They have a really nice launching spot for seeing the "the Continent" (they still talk of "going to Europe" as if they are a Caribbean island) but saw fit to ruin that by Brexiting and making all of that really inconvenient.
4. They are stupidly proud of their music scene, which no one cares about other than English people living abroad (which they do in millions, creating little Englands in every spot where the sun shines more than 60 days a year), and they continue to worship horrible acts like Cliff Richard and Oasis and the Kaiser Chiefs and all kinds of peculiarly English crap. They are also stupidly proud of their "English sense of humo(u)r" by which they mean "I will insult you in the most obvious manner possible whenever you say something remotely earnest so that all may bow to my rapier sharp wit."
5. The more recent arrivals in London and a few other cities will feed you well with tasty, complexly spiced dishes. But 90% of the territory will ooh and aah over heavy, greasy, tasteless dishes (so awful that even they have invented a word - "stodgy" - to describe their own cuisine) that you are expected to compliment your in-laws about as if they've just fed you a 4 star Michelin tasting menu. And heaven forbid you encounter these people around Christmas, where you will watch them howl with laughter at things like a Christmas Pantomime, a kind of childish joke play that appears to consist of putting the least feminine man possible in a dress, making a high pitched voice drowned out by howls of laughter. Oh, and then you can all gather round to watch
the Queen'sKing's Christmas address, the same King who, in perhaps the least arousing sexting scandal ever, expressed his desire to be his horse-faced mistress's tampon. Really.Goodbye, old England. I hope Bills Nation never visits you again.
You forgot warm beer.

Are injuries controllable by anyone?
Not so much controllable, but sound training, diet, sleep/rest and other common sense things contribute. But at the end of the day tackle football is a collision sport with players using their bodies as weapons. Injuries are going to happen.

Yes they did except for that 4 play drive.

You have to give the players a day or two at your facility to heal up and get their work in. Then fly out on Wednesday. You get two days at home with your facilities and your bed to rest in. Then on Wednesday you travel and that gives you three days before game day to adjust.
That would make the most sense to me
Yeah. Maybe fly out on Tuesday night (gives them the 2 days at home still) and get there Wednesday morning, but basically I agree with your thinking.

You are not considering the other factors that are equally as important like routine for practice and meetings and injury treatment facilities and the players being in their own beds for as long as possible.
Yeah I have heard that and for general road games in the US that probably makes a lot of sense. However when players cannot focus you get what the Bills had today in abundance, bad penalties, drops, and overall lackluster play. Anyway, on to the next game and maybe the team acts differently next time if they believe they made a mistake this time.

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 didn't see any of the presser, too ill. Did anyone ask McD why he called that first time out?

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 releaseFurthest 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.

Both teams have shown they can beat bad teams. This game should should be a gut check for both teams.
I'm glad its in Buffalo.
