I don't see anything wrong with a group of people, all sharing the same passion, having a little drunken fun. No one was hurt, they all had his back (literally) and kept it moving. It's funny, keeps us relavant. Hell, the bills should grateful we have fans at all at this point of the season. Who honestly cares if they want to put each other through tables every home game? At least it's all in good fun and not malicious. I love bills tailgates. Best sporting event in the world
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Then lawyers will be lining up.

Is this an imitation of Revis Island getting burnt all day?

This is why:

Rodney Harrison just called this a "dangerous hit". Ha, from one of the dirtiest players ever!

Everyone seems to miss the point. We don't have a complex passing game and Taylor rarely goes to a 2nd read. It is a one or two read look and then Taylor runs.
Take a look at the receiving numbers of guys in SF under Roman. Investing a ton in a 2nd wr when we have good players already is a wAste of money.
I'm not saying get a guy of Marshall's caliber, just a better compliment. I agree there won't be enough balls to go around in Romans offense to justify paying someone of Marshalls caliber as Sammys compliment.

If the Jets can get a guy like Brandon Marshall for a fifth round pick, there's gotta be something Whaley can do to get Watkins a little more help. Either way, happy to see that Watkins has already helped this team to two non-losing seasons in spite of battling nagging injuries.

Well if we retain Rex for next season, is Hard Knocks on the horizon for us?

.Why is it if you like to tailgate with family and friends its only to get hammered? I tailgate from 8-6, drink plenty of beer, have a wonderful time with family and friends....never get hammered.
You need to drink more beer then. lol j/k

I hate to play the conspiracy theory card, but the NFL sets up these week 17 division games because they want them to mean something. An NFL front office employee actually admitted the NFL is entertainment business and they develop storylines, I don't have the quote, but I read it in a few places. Rex is a good story he plays well with the media, if the flags fall for the Bills for a few weeks they could easily be relevant in week 17.....
I'm told it's certain Week 17 won't mean anything for the Bills, and that we should debate stupid hypotheticals for next season already.
-
Ah hah, another conspiracy theory on the Bills training staff; do you happen to have any shred of linkage between the Bills' injuries and the quality of their trainers/conditioning staff.
You (and many others on TBD) conveniently ignore the increase of injuries every year. Football is a game played by men who are bigger,stronger, and faster with each passing year.
I posted on this topic a few weeks back:
Here's the article touting Rusty Jones' reputation by prior players, coaches, etc.:
-
What has hurt this team is that they are drafting as a middle of the pack franchise...They are never getting the top 3 pick (Dareus was the last one)
Watkins was close to a top 3 pick....
-
The real problem with the Bills is that you don't come to Buffalo to win. Winners don't seem to want to go to Buffalo. Example, Mario Williams. He came here to be financially secure for his family and 8 generations of family from now. If you are interested in winning, you go to a team that has a winning culture like New England.
So how does Pegula change this?

2004 Bills
11 years ago, who would have thought that would be our last best chance to make the playoffs for who knows how long?
-
Yes. That was cold...even for a fridge.
As for the playoffs, I'm still hoping... but we do need Pitt to fall on their collective faces and the Jets to find another loss besides the Bills. The path is dark but not impossible. The Mularkey Bills that got crushed by Pittsburgh should have never had a shot at the playoffs (in the last game). The odds were very, very long but all the stars lined up over the last few weeks. Too bad the Bills blew it.
If you believe in the NFL fix theory, the stars will align so that Week 17 Bills Jets means something and the game will get flexed. So many storylines for the NFL in that scenario.
-
The playoff machine seems wrong. How do we beat Steelers in common games in that scenario? They are 2-3I went and set the criteria to win %age (I feel it's the most accurate)...
Assuming the Bills win out (I know, I know), here's what we need:
Denver over Pittsburgh in Week 15
Pittsburgh to lose one of their two final road games (at Baltimore in Week 16 or at Cleveland in Week 17).
So basically PIttsburgh-Denver is the big game other than Buffalo-Washington this week.
and we are 1-4 (NE, CIN, IND, KC)....
Never mind, looks like we would have a better conference record there. Answered my own question....

Here's the rule:
As far as I can tell, what's happened is this: coaches like Chip Kelly coach their offensive lineman "within two and one half positions" of the defender who jumps to fake an "immediate reaction" that is "against impending contact." It's like flopping in the NBA or in soccer. This is the kind of penalty call that kills the flow of the game. For decades a defender who jumped (and didn't make contact) had a chance to get back behind the line of scrimmage before the ball was snapped. Smart QBs could sometimes call for the snap before the defender got back -- the result was a free play and a guaranteed 5 yard penalty, but it didn't require faking anything. The remedy: just don't call the neutral zone infraction. Call the offensive lineman for a false start instead unless the O lineman's action was immediate (not the delayed "acting" reactions we're seeing) and was reasonably caused to protect himself "against impending contact."
Or just don't go in the neutral zone prior to the snap
-
Well that didn't quite work out.
I still believe we would be a team nobody would want to face in the playoffs, but that doesn't really matter now since we'll never know.
Another disappointing season effectively ended today. Here's looking forward to April even I will once again start to believe we have what it takes to win it all.
I think you would have been right 😉

Jerry Hughes - Don't move until the ball is snapped, don't hit the QB after the ball is released, stop moving when the whistle blows.

Pre-meditated storming the field or court is just wrong. Let it happen organically. In the right mixture of emotion and alcohol (emphasis on the alcohol) sometimes things just happen and its f@$#ing special. But you god-damned millenials have turned once recklessly proud traditions into Hallmark, plastic wrapped, single serving bastardizations of our finest moments. Organized campaigns to storm the field are just perverse. I know your generation grew up with mandated play dates where you were bubble wrapped and braided each others hair for exactly 45 minutes under constant supervision but REAL life isn't scripted. No one plans to dizzybat face-plant into a bus, or get caught fornicating between two Chevelles, or get recorded blasting lines off a chunky girls lap in the 300 section but when you're open minded, in the moment and fantastically drunk, sometimes the magic finds you.
As a millennial burdened by the societal debts of prior generations, who says planning ahead is such a bad thing?
-
He was only the D line coach, but yes, idiotic. Thats what Dickerson was. A fat *ss blow hard.
Who loves ya baby!
-
Yeah, it is curious, but I will trust that the coaches know better than me.
I think the bigger mystery is Mills versus Henderson? It sure seems that Mills was more productive, but it was one game. I've read mixed reports on who would be starting, any word today?
I hope there is something with Mills there. Got the Miller/Mills connection on the right side!

I've read numerous articles about the players beginning to adapt to Rex's defense. I still feel a little suspect after the Texans game, but wonder if they can put it together for the stretch run. Getting Aaron Williams back would be sweet.
But I still feel that we don't play our DE's wide enough to get heat on the QB. Watching Freeney tonight and seeing Denver, Seattle and Arizona line the DE's wider and get heat on the QB makes me wonder if Rex's scheme will work.
Granted better linebacking will help but Bradham and Preston both seemed to regress in this scheme. Lawson hasn't had much impact and Mario is in a bad cycle too. Overhauling personnel that gave us such a fierce defense last year seems wrong, so what do you think we should do on D?
On offense, we seem to be getting better and keeping the line intact with a new RT and a solid #2 WR and #2 QB could build some serious continuity for the future. I say bring in Kapernick and let the best man win. I am currently sold on Tyrod. I think when he is used properly, he can win.
Special teams may need a new kicker and returner, love Colton, he is the man. Overall, if Rex can coach better we should be able to be a competitive playoff caliber team for 3-5 years and hopefully more. I also think Whaley's done enough to deserve another year. Rex however, gets next year. This team should be 8-4 at the worst and in the drivers seat for the WC.
I place the blame for this on Rex with a little help from the Refs. Overall, I think we can be headed in the right direction if the coaches can get it together.
Top needs:
RT
LB
DT
#2 WR
#2 QB
Time to ground them Eagles! Go Bills!
LB and #2 WR is where I would focus most. The most dangerous offenses in the league tend to have at least two WR threats. For LBs, I think we need some depth plus a guy that wreak some of the havoc that Rex's defenses are known for.

With how healthy and disciplined this team is, I can totally see 8 wins in a row to make the SB.
Hahaha lmfao
This thread is going into the database for later use.
Ballsy call. Unlikely. Whatever. Still Ballsy.
But...let's be objective for a sec. The 57% point was my first thought, but I see somebody already posted it.
My second is: of the likely playoff teams, I don't see very many tough places to play a road playoff game...other than KC and Pittsburgh. I saw the Pats fans get silencioed by the Eagles. No big rally from them, like there would be at our place, if we were in the same spot(yet more evidence of "bandwagon"/it's back to the suck when Brady leaves). Denver? Not really. Colts?
Jets are no different than the Pats. Get them down, they sit down, and they don't get back up. Texans? See: Colts. Christ, I bet the Jags have a tougher home crowd than all of these teams.If by some miracle the Raiders were to get in, then we'd be talking...but...that means KC doesn't get in. Also, if we are in, then either KC or Pittsburgh is out. Thus, together they only count as one(1).
So, besides KC/Pittsburgh(you want to add Denver go ahead, but I don't see it), it's not like home field is really an advantage for most of these teams. If they make it, one of these teams will be the other WC, so we wouldn't see them until the Championship game, and would only play at their place if we are #6.
Still not convinced? Reverse the roles: what wouldn't a team do to avoid having to play a playoff game in Buffalo? That would be a very short list, because they'd do just about anything.
If we do get in, it will probably be opposite KC. This would mean we wouldn't have to play them until the AFC championship. This assumes several unlikely events occur, so most likely don't have to worry about playing at KC in the playoffs.
