  1. Well those defensive adjustments at halftime worked great. Now we get Josh Allen back on the field.
  2. Shhhh, We're trying to surprise them.
  3. Actually they realized they needed a new kicker so they drafted a good one.
  4. Great play by Bosa. If the Bills waste that and let the Ravens get a first or a TD, that will be that.
  5. You should never have two receivers that close together because that means there will be too many defenders around the ball. Oh, crap.
  6. I'm not really sure Henry is getting contacted at all.
  7. Smaller and quicker LBs work great for a good regular season record, mostly playing against inferior teams. It does not work against the top teams.
  8. I have it figured out. The Bills long-term strategy is to make the Ravens overconfident when the meet in the playoffs. (Don't laugh. It worked last year.)
  9. Chris Collingsworth says he doesn't know what people could do. The answer is not to let the LOS get away from you.
  10. Missed tackle on Henry going through the line. This is not encouraging.
  11. Bishop is becoming the default whipping boy.
  12. Boy, the fire seems to have gone out.
  13. The Bills get caught up in manhood contests sometimes. The last possession was second and short and then third and short, and they got stuffed both times. Their best player is Josh Allen and there are plays to be made if the Bills let him do it. There's no point in trying to force a play into the middle of the line when there are opportunities elsewhere.
  14. The Chiefs were winning the last couple of years out of muscle memory. They got into close games and always pulled them out. Their weaknesses have been growing and it might be they've caught up with them. However, last night's game just showed that their injuries to their two best WRs really hurt. ANY team that has multiple injuries at a single position will struggle (as the Bills might with the defensive backfield banged up). The Chargers have a very good defense but not THAT good that they should expect to shut down the Chiefs every time out. I think once they get WRs back they'll return to being a very tough out.
  15. A Brown had one catch late in the game, for a crucial first down. I don't know whether he was Elam's responsibility. I also don't know if Elam was covering Brown all game long. Brown is the Eagles' best WR so if the Cowboys were moving their CBs around they probably put their best CB on Brown.
  16. He was dodging, and if you remember him playing you'll know he was good at that. By the way, I'm one of the people who think Montana is the true GOAT.
  17. At the end of the playoff game against the Chiefs, the Bills got wrapped up in a manhood contest, basically telling the Chiefs we're going to run a push tush and see if you can stop it. The opportunity to pop a quick pass for a first down or even to hit an open receiver deep was right there. The fact that the Bills DID earn a first down on that play, and certainly had one on the play before (the Kincaid reception), and got jobbed by the refs, doesn't take away from the fact that they didn't do what Mahomes/Reid does, hit em where they ain't.
  18. Mike White played so poorly in the preseason that he cost the Bills any chance to get anything for him in trade.
  19. An organization with no class. Keep in mind though that Cookie Gilchrist refused to come to Buffalo after his playing days, even to have his name put on the Wall, because the Bills wouldn't cover his costs. Boomer should decline the invite and explain to his TV audience why he's not there.
  20. Phillips has played at about the level you'd expect for a player drafted where he was. Oliver hasn't. That's the point.
  21. I hope you're right.
  22. Phillips was developing nicely and then got hurt. He was recovering and looking pretty good, and I had hopes he'd stick around, but the Bills apparently decided not to invest in him when his rookie contract ran out. Probably that was a mistake, in hindsight, but you can't fault the thinking. The Bills thought they could replace him with someone just as good but without the injury history...and that turned out to be a huge miscalculation. Phillips was the best DT we've had since then. Oliver has been a huge disappointment considering his high draft status and his minimal production. Jones played well until he got hurt. The parade of JAGs in that position has been the Achilles heel for the entire team.
  23. Hyde and Poyer were excellent athletes, but I think what really set them apart as a unit was they were so damn smart. They worked together perfectly, and QBs simply couldn't fool them.
  24. There's a lot of non-football stuff going on. Some of it is legitimate team building, like the word game where people were acting out elephant features. But guys standing around on the sideline chatting about anything other than the game in progress, is not showing that their heads are where they need to be. The Bills have rolled through the regular season almost every year and seem to think the road to the playoffs is paved with Lay-Z-Boys and pizza. Thanks guys but that's OUR department. I am very concerned we're looking at an 11-6 record with the Pats stealing the AFCE because they want it more.
  25. Diggs alone, or Allen alone a few years ago, neither all that great. Peanut butter and chocolate, same thing. There's nothing like Reese's. But after a while you realize chocolate is great all by itself.
