  1. It is coaching. The people with blinders on are the executives at OBD.
  2. I don't understand his healthy scratch every game or the on again off again Brandin Bryant saga.
  3. I'd get to drafting a center. No FA linemen over age 30. No more Roger Saffold. Strong man, but has the foot quickness of a 70-year old man. IMO, the biggest area of improvement for the Bills offensive line is conditioning and more importantly, improving agility and balance. I watch teams like the Eagles and Ravens who have stout lines, and their linemen do not appear as gassed with the huffing/puffing. They are active with the hands, have quick feet, and good balance.
  4. You are correct. I don't think the Ukrainians have a clue how to operate or maintain such sophisticated machinery. This is like your life long Ford mechanic being asked to work in a Volvo dealership for a month on their own. I have a feeling we're sending legit old M1 Abrams, but even those, are sophisticated pieces of machinery. What this move suggests to me is many more US and NATO soldiers in Ukraine. The tanks themselves are not the dangerous escalation. It's the increased opportunity of western "advisors" being killed by the Russians.
  5. Surprised at this move by Carolina. Steve Wilks performed COTY miracles there. That team was running through walls for that man.
  6. "Cinci Fail" is my pick. That lifeless, dazed showing in a home playoff game before an adoring crowd was inexcusable, and an organizational failure.
  7. The Josh Allen/Von Miller Super Bowl window is open next year: New defensive coordinator. Those interviews better include strategy exercises on how candidates would stop the Bengals and Chiefs. I'd want Ken Dorsey to experiment with, and implement motion sets, screens and the wishbone. I want to use RB1 (if not DS), Cook, Hines and Gilliam at the same time. I want the defense to account for them all. Sign no players over the age of 30. Get into the Top 10 of the draft and pick for greatest impact. Remove train horn from stadium.
  8. #1: Joe Whitt Jr. (Cowboys, DPC) #2: Deshea Townsend (Jaguars, DPC, Cornerbacks) Generally, I'm looking for the motivated, hungry assistant that has a track record in effectively defending the passing game. I don't want a DC with a strategy that has been long figured out. (Jim Schwartz) I think the Bills have plenty of talent on defense. I'd invest in strategy over new players.
  9. If you are Terry Pegula, the biggest disappointment in a day of them yesterday had to be that the fans who pay a lot of money to see the team had far more enthusiasm to be there than the players and coaches collecting the paychecks to play the game. IMO, much like the situation in Tampa, the Bills look checked out on their coaches, not necessarily a tough season.
  10. Arlington Road. A dark ending that would never happen in today's Hollywood.
  11. I guess Juan Castillo's agent has welcomed Nate Hackett aboard! I'm convinced some coaches simply get jobs because they spend good money on effective agents.
  12. This team knows now knows where the gas pedal is on both sides of the ball, however it behaves very much like a teen driver - still having difficulty on inherently knowing/feeling when to hit the gas and when to lay off it. There are some games where that finesse is almost perfect, and others where it's a mess.
  13. I feel the longer he keeps trying to play, he's slightly tarnishing those amazing achievements he had as a Patriot quarterback. I hope he retires for good and doesn't try to push through a lone, forgettable season in a Raiders uniform. Mediocre Todd Bowles notwithstanding, this season was a lot of writing on the wall that it's over. I am often saddened seeing the pictures of NFL legends who finished their careers with forgettable one year stints with teams like Johnny Unitas in a Chargers uniform or Bruce in a Redskins uniform.
  14. Leslie Frazier won't pay any attention to it.
  15. There's that soft Frazier defense yet again.
  16. I think the talent is there on the defensive line. The shortcomings of pass rush is strategy. In the first game against the Rams, most fans would have thought Jordan Phillips or AJ Epenesa were going to break the regular season sack records with how often they were in the Rams backfield. The game plan wanted them back there, applying that pressure. Historical case in point - it's really no different how the Bills went from all-world sack machines Marcel Dareus and Mario Williams under Marrone in 2014 to near invisibility with Rex Ryan the following year. Or why Jerry Hughes had his second highest number of sacks this year in Houston (9) this year since, you guessed it, he was with Marrone/Bills in 2013-2014.
  17. I hate that some states force winners of these massive sums of money to reveal themselves publicly. I feel that puts the winner in danger. It's ok if you want to do it, but always felt it should be up to the winner to decide.
  18. Dolphins will run the ball, run it some more, and make the Bills defense stop it. Over the last two days, the Dolphins coaching staff has probably watched every Eagles game this year.
  19. They've all done it. I'm sure Obama, Bush have some too. This is what happens when you make those purely emotional decisions, Biden administration.
