BADOLBILZ

Everything. We've been real-talking the Bills here for 20 plus years so you aren't going come in and stay "stop doing that" and have any more success than Barkley had on that pass to Beasley. Don't care how long you think you've been a fan.............that's a personal matter subject to interpretation..........the absolute is that this place has been here since 1998 and if you didn't find it until now you were either doing time or not trying very hard.

He's right tho. This dude wasn't some two-bit Indian Rez poker playin' dipsh*t like that Ryan L Bilz that used to be on here. 😆

So he couldn't pull the trigger? Like Buddy Nix with Russell Wilson in round 3? How bad could the "true odds" be? There's only 16 possible records a team can finish with to start with........and the Bills were the Vegas favorite to win the division.

Who's gonna' pay all those guys active roster money???? Ralph is rolling around in his grave and Mike Brown is just glad he missed the playoffs.

Or you can just think about reasonable scenarios to discuss on a message board and do it? It's entertainment..........if your first thought is that thinking about potential obstacles for the team to deal with makes you depressed..........then you probably need to take up a less competitive, non-zero-sum hobby..........like following Phish around on tour.

I've been good.......you on the other hand, are a newb who just showed up here when the team started winning and now wants to defend every player's honor because you think it legitimizes your fandom. It don't. There is plenty of room on the bandwagon...........but sometimes poor play is going to get called out in a forum where the team's performance gets dissected. Getting one of your starting WR's injured with a pathetic throw happens to be one of them. And considering Barkley's appearances the past couple of seasons his poor relief work has become commonplace. It's pretty clear that Barkley can't hold the team together for a few games if Allen is out and that's what a #2 QB has to do so you might wanna' cancel that Barkley jersey order. Josh just needs to stay healthy and the WR corps just needs to take note and make business decisions when Barkley is throwing them into harms way in garbage time.

Oh my God..........I gotta' read this doozy. @C.Biscuit97.........the "most wrong" poster in the history of this board getting into it with the broken clock @eball(right twice every 24 years). And did eebs then fail to put money down on a bet he would have actually won? Say it ain't so!!😆😆😆

He was open and Barkley just missed a short throw by 10 feet. If people can curse Knox for dropping perfectly thrown passes when he's wide open we should hold the guy throwing the ball to some similar standard at the very least. There are throws that you simply can't miss badly in a certain spot. Behind the receiver on that play was one of them. Beasley instinctively slams on the brakes because Barkley had for all intents just thrown a returnable interception. If you are going to miss that throw miss it out in front. But that's what bad QB's do...........we should know we've seen enough of them.

Kickers are fragile..........I'd rather he stay under the radar. Younghoe was 8 of 8 from 50........got the pro bowl nod........then promptly lost the game for Atlanta Sunday by basically shanking an extra point distance field goal. The look on his face was worth a thousand words........the nod got in his noggin'.

Barkley had a good game against a bad Jets team that falsely raised my expectations that he might be a worthy NFL backup QB. Ever since then he's looked like Billy Joe coming off the 19th hole entering every game. I know $2M is cheap for a backup but for chrissakes.

Not even a little.

Those two Bills teams that lead the NFL in rushing also lead the NFL in chunk plays both years too. The Ravens using the same style of offense lead the NFL in scoring by a lot last season. It's about being able to pass the ball. A lot is made of needing to run the ball in the playoffs...........but run defense is mostly about want-to and technique.......and in the playoffs teams elevate their effort so it's harder to consistently run the football in the playoffs.

Nobody feels bad for Barkley not being able to figure out how to keep himself ready..........it's his job to not come in and crap himself.......but he always does when he has to enter a game for Allen........even when his team is kicking the sh*t out of a bunch of undrafted free agents.

Yeah there was a time I thought he was a borderline #2 NFL QB. He's not, he's just atrocious.

He's neither been excellent against the pass or run this season. His 116 passer rating and 4 TD passes allowed this season are very poor. His effort and execution on that Cam Newton touchdown run was just embarrassing.............he should have put Cam on his shell there. But it's not like there are tons of good off-ball LB's in the NFL.........it's a devalued position and MOST of the really good ones are in the NFC. So ultimately the big issue is the lack of plays he makes on the football. Turnover differential is the most reliably decisive stat this side of the actual scoreboard and if you don't have a nose for the ball you aren't going to be a difference maker. His lack of forced or collected turnovers over the course of 3 full seasons is astonishing considering the opportunities. He's just not proven instinctive enough as an off-ball LB for his play to match his physical skill.

I think I saw him out running on the field after the game.

This team is barely practicing this season............it's not like they are in pads 3 days a week...........the game IS their practice for the week. Play and stay sharp. Players get hurt in practice too. If they do decide to make it a rest week then do it right and activate as many practice squad players as they can and don't dress any stars...........definitely don't march Diggs, Beasley, Davis, Knox out there and have Barkley get them hurt...........don't half step........that's how players get hurt.

I think he's fine. Just a cautionary tale about putting Matt Barkley in. Barkley is a very bad backup NFL QB and he basically threw Beasley into a sprain with an atrocious toss.

Losing out on McDavid was definitely the Trevor equivalent for the Sabres organization. Everything was aligned.........it was clear for a long time that the Sabres were going to have the most ping pong balls in the lottery..........McDavid is from suburban Toronto.........the Sabres already draw a lot of fans from Ontario and figured to get a bunch more with a local superstar........the Leafs were in a bleak situation, a superstar/success purgatory, and ready to have a generation of young fans poached..........McDavid was living with a family of Sabres fans and pleased with the idea of playing close to home and just assumed that he would end up in Buffalo. The financial impact alone that it could have had on the Sabres organization was enormous. Instead they just got this other "very good" player who was a native of a place that FOR SURE nobody in Buffalo wanted their star player to be from. In fairness to Eichel he's done his best and not requested a trade despite the organizational ineptitude. And maybe someday it will work out........but that McDavid miss really hurt. And McDavid wasn't loving going west to Edmonton and it hasn't exactly panned out great for them either..........but to have the top star in the league be on the Sabres and a local to a good portion of their fanbase would have been massive for the franchise.

JA's orignal mechanics were very similar to those of Rico Dynamite.

Was relieved to see the CBS report that AJ Epenesa is said to have "avoided a concussion" and is expected to play. He's been very useful at RDE.......which has helped allow Hughes to go to LDE where he finds the rushing easier against less agile RT's.

The name actually comes from a tweety bird night shirt I bought for my GF on Abbott Road during the 1993 SB season. When Hyperbills board was created I joined and used that name after considering Bigbadbilz in honor of the famous Sports Illustrated cover pic....... but that was too on the nose(and in retrospect it was probably not particularly drought resistant). This was long before "same old Bills".

Sign of the times.......in the past the first response to this thread would be someone expecting Belichick to sign him.

Yep just one great season premature. Hopefully McD finishes this season with a 6-6 career record in Belichick+playoff games.🤞

Actually, that sorry roster should have been in the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes........and yet 6 wins and VERY narrow losses in Seattle and Buffalo and an absurd 45-0 blanking of the Chargers........so yeah he kinda' did. I'm not chalking up this game Monday as a win. My hope is that he goes 1995 Shula this offseason and loads up with veteran free agents..........the chemistry doesn't work........and he decides to call it quits or goes to the Giants.
