Good inventory. The only real correction I'd make is that I don't think Bishop has been average. I think he's been below. Benford has been very bad. I have to assume that the people claiming how useless Tre is see the 7 on Benfords jersey and just assume it's 27 and they're lumping all the bad play from both on one guy.

I swear my browser says twbillsdrive.com. But it keeps bringing me to BBMB.

Oh man, we are at peak drought era. Did you hear something from the busboy at Tempo?

Tre's poor play is drastically exageratted. Has he had 2 bad games? Yes. Has he had 6 bad games? No, lol. People are just parroting it at this point. He is the 2nd outside DB. He has largely been somewhere between "meh" and "fine" across 6 games. But people talk like he is just targeted on every single throw and responsible for our pass defense. Benford has been taken advantage of and he is our number 1 outside corner who we just paid. He has been glaringly bad compared to his expectations, pay, and role. Benford - 32 targets, 21 completions, 198 yards, 0 passes defended - 4 TD White- 20 targets, 14 completions, 113 yards, 3 passes defended - 1 TD I don't think either DB can count on consistant help from the safeties. Loads of people are out of position.

I agree.

It should be Kevyn Adams and it should have been done at least 365 days ago. My money is on Terry running it back with all 3. (I spared Lindy on this list, because his contract is up anyways. He isn't coaching anybody in 26-27. He would just be a scapegoat)

A lot of things happening, but the whole thing feels kerfuffled at the moment. There are too many times where Allen scrambles, runs to the LOS where there is nothing but green grass, resets, and heaves a BS, low percentage ball into oblivion on 2nd and 10 instead of picking up 7 yards with his legs and leaving us with 3rd and easy. On top of also being late, he has also looked right at open underneath routes only to launch low percentage throws down field. That isn't to say he isn't playing superman. He certainly is at times. Allen doesn't seem to have a great feel for anything at the moment, the offense feels broken.

Random thought this AM... What will the new stadium address be? 2 Bills Drive? And if it is 2BD, will @SDS have to change the website to 3 Bills Drive? These are the things I think about folks.

This is a feature and a bug. It allows them to be a 2-1 vote against Pegula. You know, the guy who told Brendan Shanahan that he doesn't need a PoHO because they already have one. (himself) Changing the power structure at OBD comes with some risk. It seems like Pegula's hand might be forced. But on the other hand the guy has still yet to fire Kevyn Adams. So who knows.

So be it. But firing McD and sparing Beane is futile.

I think drafting is a much bigger issue than coaching. I would prefer to start with a GM who isn't so close to McD and the guys on the roster. Distance from your lead administrator is sometimes necessary to make the right decision. I have no faith in Pegula to tear this thing down and rebuild it. ZERO. Keep the coach, hire a new talent evaluator.

Lolololololololololol. Go watch the Sabres...actually don't.

I think we have a Beane issue more than a McDermott issue. I have faith McDermott is still a good coach, he's proving to be one of the winniningest without a SB. It is time for a GM to sit above the HC and not be in the mud with them. It was great to get this franchise to wear it is now. I think Beane is too close to the roster, staff, etc, paired with meh drafting, has really sunk this team.

It seems like too many guys just look around at eachother after every play. Good news: Poyer can help with that. Bad news: We might need to play Poyer in order to help with that.

I don't understand why Russ is on the roster at this point. At the very least he should be inactive. Winston should be the back up to Dart.

don't understand why that 49ers catch isn't a catch. Two hands. Both feet. Possession. Steps out of bounds. The complete through the ground is so stupid. Once he steps out the play is over.

I find Daboll super unlikable. I don't hate the dude. Just as a HC in the league the more I have to hear him and the more I cringe kind of thing. My quick $0.02 is that he's likely pretty smart but a pretty bad leader/people person and the more that becomes more of his job the more gratingbhe becomes. Also, don't fork with peoples brains.

Yeah, and the upper deck was about $400 to start the week and about $250 on game day. The post kickoff/puck drop thing isn't as much of a thing as it was with actual scalpers. Ticketing agencies rarely have a major drop post start time these days. I live across from a major concert venue and I want it to be a thing so bad again, but it just isn't. You are lucky if you see a bit of a dip. But otherwise tickets 10 before kickoff and 10 minutes after kickoff are pretty similar. Cheap is relative. New England was an expensive ticket, but also half the price from a few days before.

It isn't a gamble. Tickets almost never go up anymore. They get released to the public high and then drop all the way until about 48 hours per event. Then they tend to spike a little for the "last minute buyer". There are some exceptions where there are real presale's with discounts or events with super major demand. But there aren't many of those. The Bills are a major draw down south. For Miami and Charlotte, they might be the most expensive ticket of the year.

It looks like basically everything where the benches, coaches, medical tent, etc. are is turf. To me there are just two many plays where players end up running OOB for a turf/grass split to make any sense. Even if the risk is small, it is a $2B project. Just do it right.

Likely not a huge deal, but I don't love grass on the field and turf on the sidelines. It is less about turf v grass and more about how I hate that when players end a play OOB and while running guys have a change in surface. It just doesn't feel like it is worth the risk. Just make the whole thing grass.

Dumb. They might have been the generic 00 dog jerseys at Petsmart since nobody could read the names/numbers.

I see the Bills and Chiefs as the same. They have the two best QB's in the game by a good margin but both have deficient teams. If they make the playoffs at 10-7 or 17-0. You don't want to face either. Am I worried about the Chiefs game? Yeah. But I'm also starting to get worried about other teams too. The power is shifting around the league. I am not sure the monster to slay is getting smaller, it's just a different monster right now.

The fact that they announced it just days before the game raised some red flags. My tin foil hat said that it was thoughtlessly thrown together after a monday AM sales call where the rivals gear wasn't moving so they tried to make it more of a "thing". Really strange, I went to the BFLO store on Saturday, then the Bills store on Sunday and neither really had any of the rivals gear or away jerseys. I don't understand how both stores weren't just bursting at the seems with white clothing, hats, etc. It just looked set up with all the normal stuff I see on any given week. But then again I saw loads of rivals jerseys at the game and in the lots so what to do I know.

It was nearly impossible from the stands. Absolutely brutal. I am cool with the "rivals" concept and adding a special jersey or two, but I coudn't tell who was who presnap, or post snap. Guys had to be perfectly perpindicular to me.
