Throwing a spiral accurately stays with you. But its the speed of the throw that would be the problem. I think most people over the age of 25 would have 99% of their throws intercepted even if they were on target or long enough. Just not fast enough!

As an athlete he was amazing. As an actor he was actually decent. As a broadcaster he was ok as well. But as a human being he was an utter POS. He murdered the mother of his kids and deprived them of her for the rest of their lives. He murdered a young man in his prime whose only crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was such an utter narcissist that he convinced himself that he didnt do it and that he deserved freedom and to get away with it, as if the world owed him something. He never showed any remorse and his legal team outrageously made the case about race in America, which it had nothing to do with and took away from the real victims of racial crimes. What I cannot understand is that his kids forgave him for what he obviously did. I know they were young at the time but come on! At any time in the last 30 years, he could have had a change of heart and manned up and admitted his heinous crimes but he never did. Good riddance!!!

The move was not really a big surprise but I had a huge empty feeling when I found out. Obviously Diggs was a pain in the butt sometimes in the locker room but his zero tolerance of losing and BS was pretty impressive. Also one the best receivers we have had in years here and one of the toughest players I've ever seen based on the hits he took (often late and dirty). He also made some huge catches in his time here and got some key TDs. It saddens me that one of the final memories of him will be that drop in his last game against KC and Allen overlooking him wide open at the end of the game. Just like with Trey, Poyer and Hyde, Diggs deserved to win a championship here. One of my favorite Diggs moments was him getting a TD vs NE where he berated the audience in Gillette with F bombs. Totally rude but awesome!

McD's defenders on this thread are unreal. They act as if a strategy of squib kick and holding or jamming Kelce/Hill at the line was 3D chess. 13 seconds was a masterpiece of coaching incompetence with repeated cascading errors that each piggy backed on the other. The people here talking that a squib kick would not have resulted in any time off are delusional. Even on a properly fielded squib kick, 2-3 seconds comes off the clock. If the player fielding the KO fumbles the squib kick and then has to pick it up, thats possibly 5-6 seconds off the clock. Everything changes after that. With only 8-10 seconds on the clock you keep everything tight and in front of you, no sideline outs and the game is over in two plays. No FG try is possible. Im not sure why so many think this simple strategy was beyond our coaches to figure out.

On first down I still don't understand why the Defense didn't hold Hill and Kelce right off the line. Sure we'd get the 5 yard Defensive holding call but it would've been a play that killed 5 seconds. That leaves them 1 play to get into FG range.
Thumbs up to Poyer for not really throwing anyone under the bus.
I've said this over and over again since this happened . Tackle both Kelsey and Tyreek at the line and get a whopping 5 yard penalty and a 1st down to kill the clock at least 5 seconds for the first down then do it again the next play. The game would have been over on the 3rd play. And even that wouldn't have mattered had they squib kicked it and wasted 5 seconds maybe more on the kickoff. The players were spent and they failed to execute during the 13 seconds but the McD was the ultimately to blame for all of it. He needed to make sure that squib kick happened not the ST coach, He needed to confer with Frazier and work out the defensive plan and the some strategy and he utterly failed!

worseTrubisky was 2-5 as a starter for the Steelers, Pickett was 14-11. I mean both are mediocre at best right now, but Trubisky has fallen off the cliff in quality.

Better than Trubisky?

After the 13 seconds game I thought he was going to be a superstar on this team. I still really dont know what happened? Was it Gabe or the change of OCs? or neither?
-
For me the shock of yesterday was minor, it was sad to see Tre and Poyer go but the 2000 purge, as others have mentioned was really hard to stomach. I felt like somebody died that day and the realization that the 90s Bills core were never going to win a Superbowl just seemed so excruciatingly unfair. Felt a bit like that when Kelly retired as well but we got so close again with that team in the 1999-2000 season, I thought they could get redemption!

What are you trying to get at here? Unless I'm taking this wrong but you want to bring a back up that could compete with Allen for the starting job?
Not suggesting that all. Just trying to understand why you bring in a backup who proved himself totally useless when called upon last year and costs more money than a rookie would? Heaven forbid if Josh got injured but I would want somebody who might be able to win a game. Even Rudolph was better than Trubisky last year.
-
Of all the moves yesterday, this one had me puzzled. Trubisky looked so bad last year with the Steelers. Why not sign a rookie instead of this retread. Is this just a move to make Josh feel comfortable? Like theres no competition whatsoever for the starting job? What's the logic here?

Todays cuts had me thinking about the last time we mass released some beloved veteran players. Although I can safely say that I support today's moves and didnt support the cuts in 2000. Todays moves seem professional and done respectfully but I didn't get that feeling about Bruce, Thurman and Andre's release. That smacked of disrespect and cheapness. How do you remember Black Thursday 2000?

No way can we fork out the money for Mack. He was around 8-10 sacks a year prior to returning to his Raider years with 17 on the season… He’ll get paid handsomely.
If we were to ever see Mack in a Bills uniform it was with that #4 in 2014. 😮💨
Too costly like you said, can’t see him doing us a favor when teams are coming calling with his last potential pay day.Irks me to no end that we got Sammy Watkins instead of Mack and that he had a Buffalo connection already.

You can blast the decision to bench Flutie for Johnson all you want, but when Johnson played the week before against the Colts, it was the best the offense looked all season. The team won that year because of a great defense, and won in spite of Flutie, NOT because of him. Johnson led a great drive down the field to win the game, and converted a huge play with one shoe off! Lack of discipline on the kickoff, nobody stayed in their lanes, and getting boned on a no call on a clear forward lateral, cost the game. Benching Flutie had nothing to do with it.
In the Titans playoff game, Johnson was 10 for 22 for 130 yards passing with SIX sacks. He fumbled twice in the game including once for a safety. Johnson did enough to win on the last drive and I give him credit for his perseverance but he was average to crap in that game. Even at half time the TV hosts like Steve Young were calling for him to be pulled. Yet we should have won that game because just like all of that 99 season, Wade had the defense playing well and they contained Mcnair and George. But just like 13 seconds the Bills found an improbable way to lose.
For the record Johnson looked great against Indy the week before in a game where the Colts didnt show up but that was only his 2nd game of the season! No team and coach in their right minds would bench a starter (Flutie) of a team that was 11-5 in a regular season for a cold unused backup on the off chance that they would be better than the starter for a playoff game. Even had Johnson won that game it was still an incredibly bad choice to bench Flutie and there was a good chance that the decision threw the whole team off. There was also a good chance that Flutie would be back as the starter the next week due to Johnson's mediocrity. Absolutely unprofessional and bush league for Ralph to interfere and force that decision and gutless of Wade to allow it. But in the end very Billsy.

I think Ralph Wilson was listening to Chuck and 100% am convinced he made the call to start Rob Johnson in the playoffs (one of the worst ever QB performances I ever saw) over Doug Flutie as he had spent the year denegrading and calling Flutie a midget and having the fanbase in an uproar.
Listened to way too much of him. RIP
This is probably accurate. Dickerson was the number Flutie hater in Buffalo during those years and was responsible for the non stop campaign against him. He fully contributed along with some other of the "B" team radio people at WGR to divide the fan base sow discord in the team.

My fondest memory is having a buddy in high school that would prank call into his show all the time. It was always a cat and mouse game to get past his screeners, get on air, get a few sentences into a "real" take and then go into the prank. Would send Coach off on a furious tirade. Was funny every time.
I was just reminding a buddy of mine of one these pranks where an effeminate voice kept calling the coach a "beautiful butterball" or something to that effect which elicited a furious reaction!

I found this documentary very difficult to watch when it came out. It brought back a lot of bitter traumatic memories of watching each one live in my early 20s. We definitely should have won the first SB and possibly the last. But the first one was ours and we completely blew it. Coming off that destruction of the Raiders, I have never felt more confident in a Bills game ever and never was I so let down. I've still never figured out what happened in that game vs the Giants. Was it the partying of the players and a massive hangover?, a lack of preparation for the Giants and some severe overconfidence? Did the Bills just choke under the national pressure? The Belichick factor? Or just supreme bad luck? We didnt even have the excuse of the 2 week break between games to lose our edge! The next two SBs were just blowouts that were pretty much over by half time. The last one though was on the players who just had a loser mentality and crumbled under the stress. Once things went south in that game, the players just went into their "here we go again mode" and let Dallas beat them. But had we won the first SB, everything is different for the rest!

What is a good finder fee besides the costs to pay off the money if the person who bought it legally decides to sell it back?

Chiefs are like a Vampire, You have to stake them in the heart or they come back to life. The last 3 teams they beat (including us) didnt finish them when they had the chance and instead crumbled. Had we not had the injuries this season, I think we beat them in the playoffs. I guess its an accomplishment we came as close as we did with the scrubs we had filling in for the injuries. Mahomes, though is just on another level. He just gets it done when it matters. I think Josh is so close to taking the next step but he lacks the coaches and the team depth that KC has built up.
