DC Grid

I agree Allen’s regression to a 50% completion rate is distressing…but why I’m not super worried is that he’s still fairly regularly making the “wow” throws he wasn’t making until last year.

This might end the NE trade / acquisition fever. After all if there’s one owner who needs to stay FAR away from and rub and tug headlines....

F him!!!! Get a real kicker now!!!!

Couldn't agree more. Good teams win ugly a lot in the NFL. The Bills may or may not be a good team yet, but this is a generally young / rebuilt team and a young coach that may have a Bills team that didn't sniff the playoffs for 18 years headed back into the playoffs for the second time in three years. Sure I'd love to see them beating the Pats and Eagles, but I don't think a single honest fan could say they would have expected to be anything but ecstatic if you told them in August that 8 games in the team would be 6-2.

Gore is a joke and done. And Bean should be fired for not bringing in another legit RB to replace him at the trade deadline.

Get a real RB!!!! If Gordon can be had for a second or less do it.

I miss McCoy already

This would sound a lot less BS, if it wasn't also a BIG money grab. Come pay $15 per head after paying large bus / limo fees to drag your stuff over to a designated pen where we can regulate your behavior...oh is that stuff heavy you brought...don't worry, you can just buy from us at tailgate village for stadium prices. The bus / limo lot is a mess, but no one has to go there who doesn't want to. If the issue is fans being too drunk in the stadium and ruining people's time, there's an easier solve, boot them out. That's what they'll be doing at tailgate village anyways, using extra security and booting out over the top drunks.

Not at all! I wear Bills gear around DC all the time and there isn’t a single day I’m out running errands or at a bar that multiple people don’t say go Bills....usually pretty emphatically.

It's interesting for the first 5 games of the season when Luck was still in the early stages of getting back up to speed Frank was looking like a loser who wouldn't last long. Now with a fully recovered Luck he's a bonafide guru Buffalo missed out on. Forget that with what in general is a hot pile of garbage for most of his tenure, McD seemed to have willed the Bills a playoff appearance and again seems to be righting the ship in a massive roster rebuild that was desperately needed. A HC doesnt need to be a specialist. He needs to be an overall manager. He needs to get people under him to be gurus. The league is full of examples of great OCs who can't coach, Hue Jackson anyone?....or Kevin Wisenhunt, Todd Haley, Charlie Weiss, Jason Garrett etc etc etc. When you look for a head coach, his leadership skills / management of people and his staff should be the real focus.

I assume Colton banged Beane’s wife. Otherwise his constant desire to replace a dependable known quality punter with random ones doesn’t make any sense.

I would sign him and dump Peterman in a heartbeat. There's about a 90% chance he'll flame out, but it's not like he's going to ruin some great season the Bills are having, and he's already a better actual option to play than Peterman.

Josh Allen was drafted as the guy with the most upside but a guy who had a lot of work to do. Specifically he’s shown this preseason that when he can set his feet he’s accurate and looks great, when he can’t, things look not so great. So instead of throwing him to the wolves right away behind an awful OL that will only reinforce his bad habits and potentially David Carr him, the Bills are giving Peterman a chance to prove he isn’t the San Diego disaster. If they’re wrong, all they’ve done is bought Allen a few more weeks to learn the system / develop while the OL gels. This is the kind of move the Bills never could make under a Rex, and it’s great to see them following a good process for bringing along a QB. Trust the process!

I say no but ONLY because the OL is AWFUL and I don't want to David Carr this kid. He is going to fall into bad footwork patterns, leading to INTs and destroyed confidence if he has to play behind a line that has him running for his life constantly. This is a recipe for failure. Let Peterman or McCarron go 2-6 wile the line gels (or doesn't) then get this kid some expirence that won't scar him for his career.

Love Kyle a ton. He’s the heart and soul of the D, but Shady makes the games worth watching. I grew up watching Thurman dominate, and Shady has been a welcome reminder of those great old days. It’s hard to think of a team who’s had such a rich history at RB.

Richie may be a bit of a handful, but context clues are starting to add up. It’s telling none of his Fins teammates ever stood up for Martin....heck one stood up for Hernandez. It’s further telling that Martin seems to have a clear complex where everyone is a bully to him. I’m sure it’s disturbing for Richie to see his name next to a gun like that....but hopefully he sees this post for what it is, vindication...as clearly Martin is crazy.

So glad McDerrmot chose Tolbert over Williams. Seriously, Tolbert should be cut this minute. Don’t even let him back in the locker room. He has been pathetic all year.

Longtime Tyrod defender, but I love this move. Last week was the final straw. Tyrod isn't good enough. Find out what you have in Peterman now. If he does well, great you make the playoffs and really are off an running for the future (should still grab a QB in the 2nd or 3rd to develop as a hedge) but if fails, your draft slot goes up, and you know it's time to trade in all those picks for THE GUY, whoever that may be. This is not an EJ / Geno year....there are multiple QBs worth a bundle of picks in this draft. FINALLY it looks like this front office has a good long term plan.

100% At least they now show what's locked to save you the time of clicking to hit a paywall.

YES! It's like a giant piece of armour that he gets to wear every game forever because he hurt his elbow once YEARS ago. I have no idea how this isnt talked about more. It's got a soft wrap on the metal, but usually after 2-3 snaps the soft wrap is starting to come off and then he has exposed giant metal rods running the length of his arm that he can use to bater people if he leads with that shoulder.

Ha....nice.

This thread should be merged with the "Happy 47th Birthday to SDS" thread from last year. SDS, after the cake and presents, could you get on that?

Baryard is good. He's like a weaker smaller J Williams.

What will the spread be after another 4-5 dumb roster moves that I assume are coming this week? Id be happy to make some easy money locking in the Jets +9.

Say what you will about Whaley's mistakes. So far he seems to have been a FAR superior talent evaluator compared to McBean.
