I think that's a little hindsight. It turned out they weren't a top contender but they were a popular pick to reach the SB going into 96'. Bruce Smith, Bryce Paup and Ted Washington were incredible as the defense became dynamic in 1995 and Kelly had been probably the offensive MVP of the AFC that year and seemed to be maturing into a more cerebral version of himself while still retaining enough physical skill. But then Kelly hit the wall like Aaron Rodgers has. It wasn't really physically quantifiable he just started making inexplicable mistakes. Didn't help that Bennett left in UFA unexpectedly after he was just finally reaching his potential......at MLB........where he should have been all along. Chris Spielman was a nice fall back but Bennett could do so much more.

Yeah I think he may have lost some respect for Mahomes when Patty was such a horrendous sport in the two games last year. He gave the Bills no respect for the win they got in KC.....was a straight up b!tch meeting Allen at midfield after the game........even though the penalty on Toney was egregious and even if it weren't called there was plenty of time for the Bills to come back down and score a game winner. He acted like it was a judgement call in the closing seconds that cost them the game. Not hardly. And then Mahomes made fun of the Bills after winning a tough game in Buffalo in the playoffs. If Allen wins that game and goes on to win a SB it's only 2-1 in their SB's. It was a potentially huge career swing game. So I think he could feel the heat on his neck from a peer age QB for the first time and his reaction wasn't pretty. Allen no longer owes him any professional courtesy.

Top grading 101.......first chapter......get the person to quit. It's the cheapest solution if the "troublesome" employee is unaware that the circumstances that keep arising are intentional. It's quite surprising how often it works. It's like 99% effective on people with short tempers. I'm sure they thought it was going to be much easier and had you with the notebook thing.

I think we have a bunch of people who don't understand that "untouchable" is a player they can't trade for any realistic price. We've got people mentioning zone CB's and interior OL. I mean, gtfoh. Josh Allen and Rousseau are their least dispensable players.........but Allen is the only one who they can't afford to trade for any realistic price. I believe you can only trade picks from the next 3 drafts and Allen is worth more than anyone's as-yet-determined next 3 drafts. And they aren't going to trade you all their picks AND also good players. We've discussed a potential day when Allen wants to move back home to CA but on the surface the Bills would have to agree to trade him for less than his worth to them.

Sentence 1 : Wrong Sentence 2: Way wrong Sentence 3: No reason to believe that Sentence 4: Sounds right

Yeah the KK mart itself is closed. Looks like sh!t. Good place for Penn State alums to park.

Even though Rousseau put up huge sack numbers in the one season of college football that he played.........I always knew fans were going to have a hard time seeing his value. Very few Bills have put up giant sack number seasons, but even if Rousseau ever gets 15 sacks in a season it will never look as dynamic as how guys like Bruce Smith or Bryce Paup did it. He's just methodical and getting separation from blockers isn't nearly as important to his game with regard to being able to make plays. His reach and Wilt Chamberlain sized hands allow for him to ride blockers into the play and then make plays without ever getting a full body on the player. So many of the plays he makes require a rewind to see that he was actually the guy.

I will definitely watch. It will likely be a disappointment, like watching Roy Jone's Jr. allow Tyson to obliterate his ribs to avoid being knocked out in their exhibition a few years ago. But it's entertainment and 80's nostalgia. The thing with Tyson though.......he never had the size to have a long boxing career. George Foreman could compete with the best in his 40's because he was massive with the long reach so even when he just turned into a big fat guy he was tough to take down.

Reggie had guys he couldn't beat too. And they were RT's not the stud LT's of the day. The great Erik Williams used to beat Reggie like a rented mule. He pitched a full shutout.....zero tackles even........against Reggie in a playoff game once.

I think Boselli, in his brief prime, was the best I've seen. He was dominant and mean as hell. I could never understand why they didn't move Bruce around more rather than line him up across from him. Walter Jones was great. Orlando Pace was maybe the best "specimen" LT and was also great. Those 2 had a rough time pass blocking Bruce Smith though. I think he had 3-4 career sacks against Jones in very few games played and he had a 3 sack game against Pace.

If he were opposite of a prime Jerry Hughes, Rousseau would be putting up big sack numbers, IMO. His game currently requires someone to force the QB to step up for him to pile up sacks like he did at The U. The Bills haven't had that guy. Rousseau is gradually getting better at creating his own sack opportunities though. That strip sack of Flacco last week was a subtle thing of beauty and illustrates his elite GPS and reach. I could easily see him averaging like 12 sacks per year from age 27-32 and ending up accumulating well over 100 in a long career. As discussed on here many times, he's a hard player to comp. As a rookie Rousseau lead NFL DL in run stops. And in a rotational system where he was only getting about 50% of the snaps. He is legitimately elite against the run. @NewEra had a stat from the Colts game where basically all the rush yardage the Colts had was when Rousseau was off the field. He is extremely impactful against the ground game.

There's no we in team.

Yes. Deadweight McCargo and The Troupacabra were different players.

And this is a guy who idolized "The Coach" Chuck Dickerson to the point that he started his radio career as "The Coach" Sal Capaccio. No matter what you thought of Dickerson.........he was never boring. Shill sold out for a pair of pom-pom's.

Traditionally sober or is the green stuff ok? But AA will make you sound nonsensically vague like that too. Got a lot of friends in AA and they are big into ego crushing and room analogies as part of their process of staying traditionally sober.

Yes, he is the Buffalo Bills radio network game day sideline reporter. Most often a job held by a female media member and then normally that job includes a bunch of other media work for the team. But Maddy Glab gets all of that work. So it's a "piece of a job" as they say on the street.

Yeah I'd like to see a return of that Bear front look in one or both of those 49ers/Rams games. As @GunnerBill noted that really suited Edmunds.....maybe my favorite game of his as a Bill.........and Dorian Williams might take to the role.

Yeah, he should easily be able to host a 3 hour show every day and be WGR's lead man. But he can't even hold up a proper 1-2 hour segment because you can't get into depth unless you are willing to keep it real. It's ruined him as a host. And for what? It's not like the sideline gig has yielded him great access to the team or it's players. Sideline girls usually end up with sit down interviews that help propel them to better gigs. Maybe he thinks he ends up in the booth but I don't know if people want to hear his munchkin land voice doing play-by-play and they will always want the color guy being a former player. It's just perplexing to me what he's trying to accomplish. But for short bursts as the homer view opposite of White and Schopp it still works.

Yep. Joe Marino also threw his hat in the ring recently with his gaslighting about the defense intentionally inviting teams to run the ball all they want. Then come to find out McD had the entire defense practicing block-shedding last week. Yeah, OK Joe. These content providers need to stay in their lanes. No NFL team is ok with allowing 150 yards rushing. When that happens, something isn't working as planned.

Yesterday am in the 11 am hour. It was amusing. Shill was brought up on Chuck Dickerson and Art Wander saying anything they felt in the moment about the organization because there were no consequences for criticism. So the WGR listeners really embraced him and his potential early on. But over time his "what the fans don't understand" shtick gets old with a listener base which is full of people who are organizational skeptical or hate-listening to hear the organization skeptics. The people who don't want to risk hearing anything negative know to listen only to podcasts and the Bills sanctioned 1-3pm show with actual full-time Bills employees Brown and Tasker. Shill has himself between a rock and a hard place.

I don't think Reid is quite that smart........he's proven to be a dunce over and over in his career in matchups against Belichick and nobody has blown 2 20 point playoff leads except Reid. But having employed McDermott for a long time(and firing him) he has that 10K' view of how McDermott thinks defense. McD doesn't quite have that same edge because he was focused on the defensive side of the ball with the Eagles. So once McD has shown his hand in that regular season game and the Chiefs get accustomed to the Bills personnel.........it's been easy for Reid to guess how McD will approach the next matchup.

I think that's because we presume that this game will just end up being practice for the Chiefs offense against this defensive personnel/system. These 2 organizations will have played each other 9 times in 8 seasons since McD got here. They might as well be division opponents. And McD is 4-1 against Reid in the regular season but the McDefense gets speedboat in every playoff matchup. At this point........I'd hope that McD and Babich know they have to be able to make broad adjustments against the Chiefs in the playoffs.
