Watching how awful Trubisky is, I struggle to believe how he was a first round pick. But just like Carson Wentz another first rounder he seemed like the "prototypical" NFL QB. Oddly enough both these washed up Qbs started and defeated the Bills in the McD era. In Wentz's case twice!

What a brutal INT. Trubisky looks really bad.

Thanks for sharing! Great article and I think very accurate!

I've been wanting the Bills to don retro 90s uniforms with the red helmets for a game but that doesn't seem to be in the cards. Then again I wouldn't want them to do it this week at Arrowhead. Too many traumatic memories of that awful 1991 game on Monday night football when the Chiefs devoured us!

I guess for Beane and McD its an "ethical" dilemma. Either you support the victim of physical abuse or you support your "star" player that you signed for huge$. Actually put that way its not really an ethical dilemma at all. In addition, from purely a selfish Bills perspective, Von doesnt even offer much on the field right now that makes it even worth it to dress him. So if Von and his "innocence" is the hill they want to die on, I guess thats their plan.

I found the 2021 season to be fun but frustrating. 13 seconds ruined it. Last season started great but after the GB game things became increasingly stressful and all the mishaps, the Hamlin near tragedy and the horrible injuries combined with the Bengals complete domination in the playoffs burned me out totally. I told myself that I wouldn't get sucked in again this year and would keep a handle on investing too much in the Bills this season (LOL who was I kidding). This season has been extremely frustrating due to the coaching incompetence in all areas. I tell myself not to get too hyped for the KC game but there's always a part of me that retains that hope that somehow we will get a break on the bad karma and luck of the last 3 years and finally achieve some redemption!

That game was a perfect example of what many people (including me) have said all along about McD. We have the talent on this team to win despite him! The worst part of all these heartbreaking losses of the past 3 years is that even when McD made a really bad in game decision, we still had the chance (in many instances, but not all) for someone to step up and make a play to decide the outcome in our favor. Philly was just the latest example. But in many of these losses the opposite has happened and we have collapsed and given the game away. In the end the players have to step up, bad coaching management or not and win these close games!

Mark Rypien was lightning in a bottle in 1991 and of course played a lights out game in crushing our Bills in that horrendous SB in Minni.

Out of all the embarrassing losses this season, the Pats one was the worst. Totally inexcusable performance by the defense and McD.

Even though it was early in his tenure, the Peterman game was probably the moment that defined or exposed McD as not being HC material. It was McD who made the call to bench his flawed but reasonably competent QB TT for an unproven rookie because he seemed to value his character traits over his ability as an NFL QB. He somehow went with the idea that he should start a guy because he was a man of faith rather than go with the better option. Which unsurprisingly led to one of the worst QB performances in history.

Yes that's true of every other team in every other sport but not the Bills but if the law of averages or karma does come around for us, we should expect an AVALANCHE of freakish good luck, great officiating and acts of God to help us!

I still believe the Bills could have done the same with a better coach. The way they lost that was unforgivable. SF coaches just showed you a master class on preparation, execution and game management. All three things McD and co lacked last week.

I hate the new dumb style of pass defense in the NFL. Look at the damn ball. SF just gave the Eagles the TD there.

Amazing how ordinary Hurts looks playing a good defense that has good schemes. Once again I think a better coach for our D (even with our injuries) would have worked wonders!

How dumb is the Texans D coordinator. Middle wide open and no spy on Wilson!

Why are the Broncos darlings in the Officials eyes? Huge holding on the 4th down run.

wow what a soft PI in the Broncos game.

Thats twice the refs screwed Houston.

OMG the officials in the Texans game blows a whistle on a clear fumble return for a TD. More NFL quality!

Even with a banged up O line all he needs is a couple of seconds and Hill is always open deep.

Well my faith in the Comanders being able to make an upset lasted for a whole 17mins.

The NFL has to bring in a coaches challenge on Penalties and Non calls. The incredible interference (actually flattening of the receiver) in the Saints/Rams playoff game should have taught them. Looking at the play 4 years later I still find it baffling that there was no flag from supposedly an elite Officiating crew. But for the NFL bringing in a simple rule change like that is like trying to steer the Titanic away from the iceberg, ie not happening soon or ever.

Geno Smith looked surprisingly good last night. It was a great game to watch. Seattle lost that game in heartbreaking Bills fashion.

Im wondering what the Bills are doing at this point. How do you go about an investigation for cases like this? Thats got to be a serious headache for them to deal with beyond the super migraine that this season has become!

If your defense hinges on one guy thats a huge problem and fully indicative of poor coaching. It shouldnt be that complicated to insert another backup player into that role to at least be competent.
