Calgary was three games off their bye. It was the Sabres first. Not everyone is at their best coming off a vacation.
I’m sorry but these excuses are getting old.
the Carolina game was “well it was the last game before break”
Calgary game was “well it was the first game back after a break”
the game last night was “well it was the first game of a west coast trip and they need to find their legs after travel”
how about sack up and win a damn game. They arnt just losing either. They are getting their faces stomped in.

Probably no one and won’t really watch much. Football season ended today for all I’m concerned about.

This is exactly what the Bills did with Epenesa as well. They list him at 260lbs now, but I bet he's in the low 250's. When Epenesa was at Iowa he played around 280lbs. That's a lot of functional strength you are taking away from guys having them drop weight in such a manner. Basham, however, is still listed at 280lbs. He's probably only a few lbs under that, somewhere between 270-275lbs. It's not as much as AJE dropped heading into his rookie season without a TC due to Covid.
That seems really dumb then to be honest. draft players and force them to fit your mold, instead of using what they are and do best.
I just can’t picture of the bills doing that, but what do I know?

End of the 2nd round DE, I will give him his 3rd year before passing judgment.
I'm also so sick of the Creed Humphrey talk. The way people talk around here you'd think we missed out on a game changer. He's just a center. Taking a shot at a pass rusher in the 2nd round and missing out on a center is a defensible move. Ryan Bates could step in at center next year and we wouldn't miss a beat. If Basham can even get to AJ Epenesa's production next year that would arguably be MORE valuable than anything a top tier center offers.
And Basham is just a DE.
your point would hold a little more value if they hadn’t just spent their first picks on the d line in the draft.
it was an awful pick for need, value, etc.

Troubling stance? You're insane. Having a dominant defensive line should be a top priority. Above, dare I say, even the offensive line.
With Von we had a dominant defensive line, the best since Bruce was here. We still have a very good defensive line and that is due to Beane realizing how important it is, adding and adjusting to it. Boogie was an attempt at the additions/adjustments.
People here don't talk about this improved defensive line much because it doesn't fit the vocal minority's anti-Beane view. Instead you see threads isolating one particular aspect to fit their mindset.
Except the way they’re building the defense of line of quantity over quality is not sustainable. They don’t have a true difference maker on that D line.

No, I believe he is a nice rotational piece to our Dline.
We picked Groot first, and he has proven to be an excellent player. To me, that helps take a little off the expectation off Bashsam and feel he’s where he ought to be in his development. If Groot didn’t pan out, of course it would put more pressure on Basham.
Just because one player turns out doesn’t mean the other player shouldn’t feel pressure to.
It was and has always been a bad pick in terms of positional need, player, resources used on the position etc.

Hated the Basham pick then and hate it now. Beanes philosophy about “always adding to the defensive line” has come at a cost to other positions and it’s starting to catch up.
Is that a Beane thing or a McDermott thing?
id probably lean towards the 2nd guy.

Can somebody please tell me what my expectations should be for a DE picked 61? Are we expecting Max Crosby? Or is this just a boo-hoo we didn’t get Creed thread?
How about starter making an impact every couple games. That’s the bar.
currently we are well below that.
he’s Shaq Lawson 2.0 minus the run defense.

Greetings Mafia,
Surprised nobody in the Bills Backers of Cincinnati/Northern KY has responded yet. Sorry about that!
Born & raised in Bflo. Been in Cincy since 84. If you haven't been here in the last 10 years, lots of positive changes in the places you will be interested in. We have a Bills Backers group here. not the biggest, but pretty passionate. We have hosted the last few games between the Bills & Bengals here. Each has had a larger crowd than the previous.
The following is the gameplan as it exists:
1) Mafia Meet-up @ our home bar- Barleycorn's, 2642 Dixie Hwy, Lakeside, KY 41017 between 1 & 4 P.M. on Sunday the 1st.
2) Mafia Meet-up 2 Sunday the 1st 7 P.M. to ? at The Banks. Freedom Way, Cincinnati. It is the area between the 2 stadiums. Lots of options there. Hoping we've got lots of people representing!
3) Tailgate- Starts at 4 on the 2nd at approx. 500 W. 3rd St, Covington, KY. Hard to beat this location. We basically have it to ourselves, lots of "free parking", and it only costs a buck to catch the shuttle from right there over to the stadium. How can you beat that?
As hosts, we do our best to supply Sahlens, Webers, Chili and other items to share with our fellow mafia members. Last game between the 2, we even had a few RV's and a bus from Bflo. I really helped us feel like we were at a home game!
Filling in some blanks from some of the other comments:
- Montgomery Inn is definitely good, but there are other BBQ joints too that are good. Just not sure who is open the 1st & 2nd. Lot's of ball teams go to Mont Inn when in town. Lots of local sports memorabilia.
- Graeter's can't be beat if you like ice cream.
- the Newport area has lots of entertainment options and is a really good view of Cincy since it is across the river in KY
- Another area that has lots of food and drink options including the Rheingeist that was mentioned in another post is the "Over the Rhein" area. Not far from the banks (a little north and west). There is a tram from the backs that goes there for free.
Definitely hoping to see as many as possible throughout the week-end. Hope this is helpful. I don't have Facebook, but we have a Backers page there, and any updates would be listed there.
Go Billls!!!
Staying in Covington as well.
getting in Early Sunday.
looking for a good place / local distillery.
Any recommendations?
will pitch the idea to the group about parking over by that area. Would be good to be around other bills fans!

Did anyone else listen to Patrick Hammer say the waves are going to crash into the shore, sending mist into the air and then the cold temperatures and wind are going to shoot that missed turned ice as shrapnel.

My mother in law is already stressing as she was supposed to drive up to us in Tonawanda on Christmas Eve to spend time with us and my dad. She was stay the night and then go home late Christmas day before this storm news came up. Honestly I don't think it's going to be anything major in terms of amount of snow yet because of the possibility of high winds everyone's worried.
We have no idea what this is going to be. We are about to experience an atmospheric pressure that to a high category three hurricane which is something Buffalo has never experienced before.
They are calling for 20 foot waves along Lake Erie, and potential for 15 foot snow drifts with 70+ mph winds.

Trade for Jakob chicken-man (since I can’t spell his last name without looking)
be able to rotate Power, Dahlin, Chicken and who gets the big minutes that game.
Dahlin looked gassed against Vegas.
can’t keep playing Dahlin 25 minutes a night.
plus if you are having a rough game put two of them together and have a dominant pair.

didn’t we just have a once in a generation storm?

Its no different than this board who constantly complain about officiating even when the Bills win.
grass is green, water is wet, fans complain about officials.

I sat next to an elderly couple who come up from GA to go to home games.
his wife was hit in The back of the head with a “snowball” the snowball barely broke when it hit her.
it wasn’t fun or cool having to watch your back to make sure you weren’t going to get pelted with a slush ball.

No. I was in a win and in situation.
I lost by 2 points.
Tampas defense got me -2.
I needed another guy to win and I still make it. He Was predicted to win going into Monday night, he has Kyler Murray as his QB. He lost.
fantasy gods hate me.-

Not looking forward to that for the Miami game. Usually park at ECC south lot
if some equipment came to make it flat and build ice stairs…….
I did a drive around ECC for this exact reason.
Lot A of ECC south is completely blocked. (Lot farthest from stadium)
lot E had a row or two blocked
lot F has one row blocked.
it shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

For the most part, I agree. But there definitely were some posters who hated him and thought that he was terrible….when he was never terrible.
There are still people who think he is terrible. I saw it last night.
I’ve never seen a player get blamed for so much that’s more often than not, not his fault.
Every time a big run happens, it’s Edmunds fault.
it’s weird.-
