Just when you thought DodoTheRobot had gone extinct.

Definitely heavily influenced by the boy band era.

White guys who rock the douchey 90's crew neck and chain look are a minority group. They should be worth at least two 3rd round picks, IMO.

Well, this isn't the comment section for that site is it? I am in favor of more people posting their opinions but today you started this AND a thread to tell us that Tyler Bass intentionally missed an extra point Sunday. That kind of pointless rabble-rousing nonsense encourages more moderation. Literally nothing productive comes from those threads. We get it, you are hyped up but maybe understand that you aren't in your right mind when you are that way.

Dude, pull yourself together. It's Tuesday of wildcard week and you are already hyperventilating and have worked your way to the fan-shaming stage of grief.

I think all of Grable, VanDemark, SVPG and Anderson could also be serviceable in 2025. I'm definitely not implying that he's Cody Ford but the standard on the OL is entirely different now.

Grable or SVPG could push for jobs on the inside. "Cybo" hasn't been exceptional, he could end up being the odd man out. I could see Grable at LG being prepped for LT work and maybe Edwards or McGovern moving to RG.

Very replaceable at this point, but maybe he makes strides. I wonder if there will be some competition for the interior positions next summer. Bills don't have a lot of depth at some positions but OL is one they do. After watching Grable move again yesterday it might be hard to justify him being on the bench.

Yeah it wasn't a good finish. Gabe didn't have the talent that Coleman has. It's remarkable that a guy with hands as poor as Davis could even make it to the NFL. But I remember Gabe catching 3 passes on 14 targets in the meaningless finale against NYJ after the 2021 season and then two weeks later he had that game for the ages against KC in the divisional round with over 200 yards. Hopefully Coleman catches fire in the playoffs.

I would say he was slightly better than I expected as a rookie. I thought he had a Davante-Adams-type ceiling but was much more raw entering the league. Took Adams a couple years to learn how to translate his athleticism into skill. Neither had the benefit of elite speed or a quickness. I thought he'd have low numbers like Adams did early in his career, but he exceeded my expectations. If he doesn't get hurt he might have actually gotten up around 700 yards.

White was brutal. He made the terrible Mitchy Biscuits look competent by comparison.

The playoff shootout between Allen and Mahomes after the 2021 season has been cited for a league-wide move toward defense's prioritizing preventing big plays over all else. Scoring dropped significantly the next couple seasons and early in the season it seemed that the trend would continue.........but offense's have been on fire since. I don't know if the playoffs will turn into a bunch of shootouts......defense is an effort/execution game and that generally ramps up........but I wouldn't be surprised if the playoffs look a bit more like 2020-2021.

And Allen turned the ball over(fumble) on the first series of the season.

Grable is another example of extra college eligibility giving the league a more finished product. Spencer Brown signed an extension at 26. Grable will be 26 next season.

Yeah I remember when the Bills did it and the local new hire ball-washers claimed the Bills were ahead of the curve for doing it and that it would be the trend around the league. In that process, desperately needing a franchise QB, they traded away the pick that was used for maybe the GOAT QB and their own future oppressor, let the soon-to-be NFLDPOY walk without a franchise tag etc.. If Josh Allen had gone #1 overall, where he had at times been projected in the year prior, then who knows how many HC's and GM's the Bills would have had since then.

Yeah I was a little disappointed with him against Tyrod. Should have sacked him on one play where Taylor rolled left but he took a horrible pursuit angle. He seems to have the athletic ability to be a situational rusher at least.

Yeah I didn't think much of losing the series. Everyone knew the Sabres weren't a cup contender. That's why Pegula tore it down. Changing the quality of player they could acquire by tanking made sense......but he totally miscalculated the value of hiring great hockey people to run the team. Missing on McDavid was one of the worst moments in Buffalo sports history but that's not an excuse in hindsight because they drafted plenty of talented players, obviously.

Thankfully she gradually insinuated herself into their relatively friendly tailgate and that helped wind down a lot of year-round drama at ours. It's one thing when you have one or two people like that in a big group but we already had enough issues keeping our group unincarcerated without adding Dennis Rodman to the roster.

I was there. They gave out white shirts to the fans as you walked into the arena in Philly. I tucked mine in the collar of my shirt like a bib. Flyer fan with us thought I was going to get myass kicked but they were actually good natured about it. Would have never dreamed that would be the last Sabres playoff trip for 14 years.

Side bar story for the ketchup spray: We tailgated at Pole 6 which was a line directly across from the Pinto tailgate and one of our group at the time.......the infamous Crazy Kim......got involved in standing on the Pinto and when she did we would pepper her with donuts. One time I drilled her with a boston creme and it blew up all over her. A subsequent week I was not involved in the donut toss but she got tagged by someone else and when she came down she sought me out. I was in conversation with TSW's "Cigar Mark".......who I believe is @Mark80 now? Anyway, I am talking to Mark and I hear a "tink" sound and Mark says "did something just hit my glasses?". Indeed. Kim had picked up a small rock and thrown it at me and missed and Red-Rydered Mark.

He fired 4 coordinators(?) in 7 years. I think that would be a fairly common amount for a first time HC who lasts that long. Two of those were from the first staff and didn't have a prior connection to McBeane (Crossman was a holdover). I don't see any avoidance of accountability. I understand that a lot of people don't think he's a "great" HC and that they need a great one to win SB's. And when you feel that way it's exasperating. We watched Marv cost the Bills the SB year after year so we are familiar with being out-coached in big games. But there are other realities at play here. It's not the 1990's anymore. The Bills organization had arguably become the worst in the NFL and tied with the Sabres as the worst in pro sports before McBeane took over. Even notably worse than Woody's Jets. So trusting ownership to make a change should be a no-go. If Allen insists on it, then you pull the trigger. He's the franchise. Otherwise I think you hope McBeane continue to improve on the job. Which they have, even if it's still not where people want it to be.

And your claim is that Allen didn't suffer concussions in Baltimore or Houston because he was allowed to come back into the game. So Tua didn't have a concussion because he came right back into the game against the Bills back in 2022 right?

He and Will McDonald don't seem to like each other. I was hoping to see some of their discussions but that might have triggered somebody.

I do remember Kruger. He was awesome in that stretch. As was the non-elite Flacco. And they beat Luck, Manning and Brady to do it. So that is an example that proves it CAN happen.

I do think we tend to see our situation of not winning as particularly disappointing..........but it's not really different than what Andy Reid went thru in Philly. In hindsight McNabb wasn't an all-time great but he was a superstar in his time and the competition in conference wasn't all of Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson every year either. And Reid squandered a bunch of #1 seedings with McNabb and the SB they did make was uncompetitive. McD has blown none of those #1 seeds, he has a dynasty in his conference to contend with and has had a better winning % than Reid did during his Eagles tenure. It's frustrating but whenever I see anyone say they "should have won one by now" I really don't think it's a shoulda' situation. It was a coulda' situation. None of the teams that the Bills lost to in the playoffs were clearly lesser than the Bills.
