Game week thread - Bills at Patriots*
RochesterLifer replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
More of THIS please! Thanks @Dillenger4, I go into every game in this mode. Yes, occassionally our Bills don't deliver. It is rare, and the disappointment last for about five minutes with me and then I'm looking forward to next week. Color me amped for Sunday. Go Bills. -
The thread title is absurd and the OP should be embarrassed.

Cooks getting open downfield will cure a lot of offensive ills for us. -
Why are we so late to adjust defensively?

Aahhhh yes, it's the old, "average fan is smarter" post. I wish there was an algorithm that would make these diappear. -

Wow! This is a set of lyrics I didn't wake up expecting to relive today. As a grumpy old man, you have my senior citizen respect. 😁 I hope you're enjoying your retirement and grandchildren. -
So is Landon Jackson done for the year?

Do your math. In no way are there ever 128 flawless football players (to get through rounds 3 & 4) in a draft. Once you get below pick #15 of the first round, GMs generally have to pick and choose among increasing development needs. Whether you like it or not, Beane and McDermott are smarter and more knowledgeable than you. You reveal your underdeveloped mind with that "McClappy crap." Heaven forbid a coach stay upbeat in support of his players. -
I watched it last week with local (Mississippi) friends. They know nothing about NYS, but humor me by rooting for the Bills. About ten minutes in, I asked them to press pause and explained to them that (at that point) the whole family conversation and accent seemed downstate. The accents and aggressive talking style felt more like Long Island than Western NY. I shared with them, "That's not who we are, and it's not how we talk." The movie then began to reflect more and more of a Western NY vibe.

Thanks @muppy. Speculation that Josh's play has diminished, first off, is incorrect. Then, to extend that false narrative to wife-blaming only points to a poster's wharped life view. Simply celebrate the happy couple and go Bills. -

Fixed it for you. It appears we are both Knox supporters. 👍 -
Game week thread - Bengals at Bills (flexed to 1pm ET)

I strongly agree with the bolded. I remember, when we were in (drought years) tight end purgatory, a coach saying that a truly valuable tight end is one who can be on the field in running AND passing situations, not allowing the defense to know what is coming. Dawson Know is that tight end. Elite? No. A very valuable contributor? Absolutely. -
Below, from today's ESPN's "NFL Week 14 latest buzz, questions, news and fantasy tips." I like this, always having believed that McDermott truly cares about his players and invests himself in helping them grow as humans. "Keon Coleman's fourth-and-goal touchdown catch Sunday in Pittsburgh held a little more importance than a run-of-the-mill score. The Buffalo receiver had gone through the proverbial ringer. The Bills sat him down in back-to-back weeks due to punctuality issues at the team facility. He was benched for Week 11 vs. Tampa Bay, and though he worked to get back in the lineup the following week in Houston, that was a Thursday night game, so the team stuck with its same offense on a quick turnaround. "It's a professionalism thing -- but he's going to be OK," a team source told me that week. "We need him." More pointedly, the Bills need receivers who can beat coverage consistently. While Coleman isn't a speedster, he has the size and body control to make contested catches. He's still learning how to operate in a Josh Allen offense where second-reaction routes can be just as important as the original route due to Allen's scrambling. The Bills did not consider cutting Coleman through his midseason issue, I'm told, and it looks like they are sticking with him after he played 33 snaps Sunday. Let's see if he can build on that.
