  1. The quality of starting QB play they've faced has been horrendous............but confidence is such an important part of the game and they gotta' be flying high in those defensive meetings this week. I don't think the Chiefs offense punted against Philly..........they are rounding into form and the Bills D is playing great.
  2. For the people who wanted the Bills to sign Steven Nelson to give them a veteran man-coverage CB...........as I said at the time, if you gotta' cover Tyreek Hill man-to-man, Steven Nelson can't do that. And watching that Chiefs at Eagles game.........Nelson got absolutely TORCHED all day by Hill.
  3. Her own father tells her that she parrots the host. And if you don't think she is hard to listen to you are probably not in WNY but rather listening in stereo online..........because her faint, monotone voice is a challenge to hear on the am radio where the majority of listeners are getting the content.
  4. TSW's official Urban Liar apologist @YoloinOhio is now cheap shotting Honest Urb. I'd say the last of the suckers has been licked to the stick.
  5. Eh......SoCal is a little different. Charlie Weis on the scrutiny in the midwest versus the coverage of then 60 year old Pete Carroll at USC: "Let me ask you this: You guys know about things that go on in different places. Was I living with a grad student in Malibu, or was I living with my wife in my house? You could bet that if I were living with a grad student here in South Bend, it would be national news," he said. "[Carroll] doing it in Malibu and it's not national news. What's the difference? I don't understand. Why is it okay for one guy to do things like that, but for me, I'm scrutinized when I swear. I'm sorry for swearing; absolve my sins."
  6. When you watch the Bills on your tv you are supporting the NFL as a whole........every team gets an equal cut of the few pennies your eyeballs bring in. I know it's an unpopular fact on a board that is heavily constructed of ex-pats............but make no mistake that attendance is mandatory to keep a team. See the Bills 2019 profit at $80M versus their 2020 figure of -$18M............at this stage in their business model, attendance is the difference between a profit and a loss for the Buffalo Bills. But I am all for charging all of you peeping Tom's a personal seat license for your couch to help fund the new stadium so that the Bills remain in existence. 😉 And yes, you are correct everyone is born with an opinion function.
  7. Yeah, boring won't cut it at a big city media outlet. She sucks the "interesting" out of virtually any Bills conversation. The perfect combo of monotonous droning(which is very straining to listen to on an am signal......where most of the listeners are getting the feed) and incredibly long winded, boring re-hashed takes.
  8. Oh.........so you also don't attend your kid's little league games? The Bills are a professional football team................pro as in PAID..........if you aren't at the games and a paying customer tangibly supporting the team then you just aren't qualified to speak on how those who do so choose to express their feelings about the team. You are the unregistered voter complaining about the election result. Doesn't make you less of a fan but as Mike Leach would say.........those fans are "committed".........you are just "involved".
  9. I can't believe it but I totally agree with this take. I caught a portion of the show a week or so ago and Maddy said that her father was complaining to her about her always agreeing with everything that Chris said on the show and not having her own opinion..........which was followed by an awkward silence from Brown who is obviously aware that Glab just gives a longwinded agreement to everything her or Tasker say. She is a total energy vampire.
  10. Broken bones are more random than the repeated soft tissue injuries, IMO............but I'd argue that learning how to prevent the kind of impacts that cause things like broken bones is not necessarily random. I think Eric Wood is a great example of a guy who had to learn his limitations in the pros. He suffered a broken leg trying to sumo-wrassle a much larger player and got his leg snapped. Then he tore a ligament in his knee trying to chase down a DL to give him an unnecessary shot away from the play. Wood was a different, smarter player from those mistakes and proceeded to break his rep as injury prone. Learning how to protect yourself is an ability, IMO.
  11. He knew he was lying when he called out the entire Bills fanbase for harassing him for his choice/beliefs/performance. He cried wolf...........after that, any subsequent vague complaint can be presumed false or exaggerated.
  12. Nobody who didn't make their way to that stadium and sit in the pouring rain for 3 hours to literally support their team in person and financially has any right whatsoever to question the loyalty of any Bills fan in attendance. Common sense but we have a lot of tough talkers with big hats and no cattle on TSW.
  13. Milano finished both his first and second seasons injured and unavailable. As for the soft tissue injuries being random............I don't know about that. I think some players(like Poz) just get better at managing their body to avoid injuries............hopefully that's the case with Milano going forward.
  14. He's played 5 seasons and has over 400 less snaps......basically 6-7 games worth..........than Tremaine Edmunds has in just 4 seasons. Downplaying it is stupid..........it's an issue..........he ended BOTH the 2017 and 2018 seasons injured..........and last season was a struggle to get him healthy enough to play full games.
  15. I will be pleased with "adequate" against Mahomes.
  16. That joke formula is supposed to be for things totally unexpected before the season started. Blowing out the Texans was expected. Beasley getting boos was expected. I for one am not going to boo the guy. But people want him to get his shot so he doesn't end up costing the Bills games with protocol issues(at the very least). Beas is a hard head but if you don't think external pressure works on even the numbest of skulls then ask Andrew Wiggins.
  17. Haven't re-watched it yet but even though the D played very few snaps overall......it seemed like he had the best game of his career. I overheard people talking in the stands early in the game about Edmunds being ticked off about being referenced as a bust in the media...........not sure if he made any statement or what...........and then he promptly went out and made plays that he hasn't made in 2-3 years. As I've said........MLB is a devalued position and one of the reasons is that it's hard for an inside backer to really have much impact in games against top QB's..........in big games against good QB's the defensive performance usually comes down to how you perform at edge and island positions. The days where MLB's gotta' make their hay are against the rookies, scrubs and washed up QB's. Edmunds hadn't been doing that thru 3 games against bad QB's so far.........but today he did. Hopefully he keeps it up. The Bills only have a handful of games against top veteran QB's left so the schedule is ripe with opportunity.
  18. I haven't re-watched the game but my impression was that Brown played very well. And the fans love the guy.........he plays to the crowd. Ford is in a really inexplicable spiral. He was overdrafted for need and not a great prospect.......but there is no reason he should be playing as bad as he has.
  19. The new and improved Star is playing very well. The days of slow dancing.....even with single blocks.....at the LOS appear to be in the past. It was quite obvious last year that the Bills wanted to get away from that "nose tackle" type 2 gapper at DT1T..........they never made any attempt to get another after Star opted out and he's back and in penetrating shape and playing aggressive and earning his pay (cut) finally. On pace to blow away his career highs for sacks and pressures and tackles. "In theory" tying up blockers keeps your LB clean, but in reality it's a passing league and your DL is more useful if they are making plays.
  20. I sit right below the press box on the home side and he is definitely being boos. But the majority of the people making noise, like myself, are saying "Beeeez". The low frequency of the boos drowns out the "eeee" and makes it sound like A LOT more boo's than there are. And the idea that the people booing him are asking for autographs is absurd..........they despise the guy. Beasley is just very immature.........always perceiving the maximum degree of slight.........he was that way in Dallas too. They treated him well and the fans loved him but he left there pouting. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if things escalated to where they had to release him in-season because he's THAT disruptive with his lack of emotional intelligence. Unfortunately, even though he's still very good I don't think anyone would trade anything for him given his vax status.
  21. Yeah Oweh forcing Edwards Helaire to fumble was probably the play of the NFL season so far.
  22. Actually unicorns are mythical........which is what the legend of Edmunds uniqueness is.......so I stand self-corrected. WE actually are used to seeing the style of MLB that Edmunds plays............nobody uses run-defense first LB's anymore.........they all have a lot of coverage responsiblity. They are also all quite helpless against a great QB unless they get great pass rush.............which is why it's a significantly devalued position. With rare exception, your Island positions on defense ultimately determine the effectiveness against top QB's. Paying any MLB/ILB in the $20M aav range is a dubious decision and if using a mid-first round pick on one they had better play at an All Pro level. Deterring the QB from taking hole shot in cover 2 is a nice trait..........but QB's have subsituted that throw for others that directly attack Edmunds himself.........which is why he's been rung up for a QB rating well over 100, allowed 4 passing TD's and a ghastly 12 yards per completion since the beginning of 2020. To be elite you gotta' do more than Tremaine has. So I can see not expecting Edmunds to be terribly impactful against the Chiefs.............he was awful in the AFCCG...........but it's the games against rookies and journeyman and washed up 40 year olds where he should be able to make plays. Tomorrow is his 4th shot at a scrub QB this season.......this is where you want your 1st round MLB to make an impact. As for me being on a crusade against Edmunds........like I said, he's a top 10-12 MLB/ILB..........it's hardly a campaign of bashing.........his own coaches acknowledge that he doesn't make enough plays.
  23. Yes. Some even from Sunday school days. And some even whose grandfathers were friends of my grandparents when they all lived on Long Island before moving to WNY together. Went on short notice to see @Kelly the Dog at LA Bills backers bar in Santa Monica for that game where Orton brought the Bills back to beat the Vikings........and walked in an hour before the game and the only person in the place was one of those guys I've known all my life, whose dad had just given me brussel sprouts from his garden a few days earlier when I was still in NY. Small world and my friends from school years are spread all over the place but the Bills(and Yankees as well) definitely serve to bring us together.
  24. Yeah.........at home........incredibly loud crowd behind them..........facing a journeyman on his 6th(?) team making his first career road start..........you gotta' be able to get to that guy. It doesn't get much easier opposing-QB-wise than a 3 game stretch facing Has Ben, Brissett and Heinicke...........and yet the only consistent pass rush they've got was a game that the DC threw an absolute barrage of blitzes out there.
  25. Yeah it's not looking like an extraordinary QB class at this point. Corral looks like the most impressive physical specimen of the big names........at the 2017 elite 11 he is the guy who drew the Brett Favre comps(Fields got Tyrod comps😉)...........but he's also had the benefit of seasoning over younger guys like Rattler and Howell. He's a redshirt Junior and will turn 23 about the time that Ole Miss plays their bowl game.
