    Honestly we should probably just forfeit. It’s not fair to cincy 

    I agree with this. It would be honorable in a number of ways:

    - Cincinnati; the coach, the team, the city, was selfless in their concern for Damar and the Bills. Give them the W and say thank you.

    - It would show our players that we care about their mental and emotional wellbeing

    - It would be a true, brotherly statement to Damar - his life and health is more important than the game.

     

    Something terrible happened last night. We can't make all outcomes be good.

  2. I would rather be in downtown Buffalo, watching with the diehard locals. During the Sabres’ glory years, I believe there were large screen TVs set up outside the arena. My dream is a similar outdoor “plaza style” set up. I would come home for that.

     

    * I haven’t read through the thread. So, if this thought has already been shared, sorry.

    Rookie wall can be a real thing, but we seem to have way more excuses as to why rookies can’t play than any team I can ever remember. 
     

    Big reason for drafting premium positions early is because of the rookie contract.  Bills seems content only ever getting 2-3 years out of it.  
     

    Not normal.  Is what it is, but coaching staff better be right on these decisions because this is the type of stuff that is worth being critical over if they fall short again.  

    Oh yes, and our four year run of success certainly reflects these never-ending decision making failures. 🙄

     I think they genuinely care about the players in that locker room and their actions show it.  Most importantly, Bills players see that and other players around the league see that.

    Well stated, Mr. Montoya. You nailed it.

     

    While there is much to enjoy about our current Bills, likable players and an exciting style, it is the care and integrity of the Bills brand that I like most. The organization, built and led by McBeane, makes me proud.

     

    If I may add to your title, I would say the Bills are a player friendly franchise, where the Bills can grow as players and men. I am truly enjoying this ride.

    In 1990, the Bills scored more points per drive going 90+ yards than the average team did going 80 yards.  That might be it.

    That team was so offensively dominant, that every time they committed a penalty, my thought was, "Cool. more yards for Thurman's and Kelly's stats". 

    Fun times....like now.

  6. For the OP, who is "kind of over the Hines experiment", The Athletic reminds us as football is about all eleven performing together:

     

    The Cook and Hines package returns with a vengeance

    ...offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey may have been keeping it in his back pocket for the Patriots game, as they used Cook and Hines on the field together a whopping 12 times throughout the game. While it doesn’t seem like a lot, that’s far more two-running back sets than the Bills had ever run previously. The Bills effectively used Hines in a similar way Brian Daboll used Isaiah McKenzie as a gadget receiver several years ago. And despite some plays that were duds, it was highly productive with some chunk plays. The Bills gained 78 yards on those 12 plays, for an average of 6.5 yards each time. Considering the Bills only averaged 4.6 yards per play on their other 60 plays, that Cook and Hines group gave them a major edge as it was sprinkled in throughout the game.
