People talk about a team having "statement wins" The Bills did that against KC this year. Conversely though the loss to the trainwreck Jags is a "statement LOSS". A perfect combination of McD not having his team ready for the Jags, the Bills offense taking the Jags lightly and some freakish bad luck. Did the Bills talk smack about the Jags the week before? Because it sure seemed like the team was motivated to defeat the Bills. I still cant get my head around the fact that despite all I just mentioned, that the Bills still lost. The Jags look like a really badly coached team who cannot stand their coach (who just looks and acts like he doesnt want to be there).

That is very sad news. Tasker is right, Pike would blow people up on the Special teams. Damn that whole era of the 90s Bills right up to the playoff loss to Tennessee was filled with great players but also a huge supporting cast of talent and interesting characters like Pike. It makes our current squad of Bills look pretty vanilla.

Star was not much of a factor on Monday. He is an oddly hit and miss player (almost literally in that sense). I didnt hear his name mentioned much if at all. I did notice several times on replays of the Pats runs that the Pats RBs were running right past Bills D line players within reach but the Bills line didnt react fast enough. If Star did get Covid, it stands to reason that even though he might be testing negative, that he isnt over the physical effects of it. Some people who get over Covid talk about how physically draining it is and if Star wasnt vaxxed then it might have been a tougher bout for him.

Trent Dilfer won a SB. I dont think some of the younger fans appreciate how many chance factors had to come together for that to happen. The Bills at their best are way better than Dilfers Ravens team, they are better than most of the NFL right now. They can overcome the inept and bias officials. They can overcome Overhyped coaches like BB. They can even overcome their own coaches shooting themselves in the foot. The question is how bad do they want it?

This is the kind of stuff that makes you wonder if McD is competent enough to win a championship. I would have given him a break in year 1 but this kind of asinine decision making in year 5? Does anyone have a confidence of what McD would do if we were in a high pressure situation in the SB??

A Few Thoughts about the Patriots* Game, in no particular order
Livinginthepast replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think this game came down to coaching and nothing else. However, after some thought , I dont think that McD and Daboll were outcoached by BB et al.. McD just choked under the pressure and made decisions that put us in a position to lose. The challenge cost us a timeout. The choice of getting the wind vs not in the 2nd half was also key. The indecisiveness on the goaline that led to a 2nd timeout, was killer. The poor decision to kick a FG into the completely unpredictable wind. Not going for 2 right after the TD early on. For Daboll it was continuing to try and use the run when it was completely ineffective was idiotic and basically just killed the clock and gave us no advantage. The odd decision not to run Allen in the red zone. All of these things were small errors by the Bills coaches which accumulated for the Pats victory. People today are acting like the GOAT BB called a brilliant game plan by playing leather helmet Knute Rockne run football and that his defense had all the answers for Allen. This is ridiculous. Most college coaches could devise a game plan to stop the Bills running game when its as bad as it has been this season. In addition, relying on the wind to stop Josh was only working part of the time. It makes me livid when people praise BB as a genius when his greatest skill is not some incredible game plan but a combination of luck and relying on the opposing coaches to make stupid mistakes (which McD and Daboll did with abundance). -
Knox is playing like a guy who broke his hand a few weeks ago. Maybe its hurts still, maybe the coordination isnt there, maybe he is gun shy about breaking it again?

Gameday Bills vs Pats* Postgame Thread
Livinginthepast replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
Once we had a first down in the red zone on the last drive. The run play by Singletary? for his usual 2 yard gain had me screaming at the TV. We cannot throw away crucial downs on running plays. The RBs dont get any yards and our backs are too small to bruise or wear down the defense !. Totally pointless! -
Gameday Bills vs Pats* Postgame Thread
Livinginthepast replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
So did all the open air stadium supporters enjoy the game tonight? It was liking watching grainy black and white footage of the NFL from 1950. The product from both teams was horrendous. Pointless to play modern NFL football in those conditions. The final product is a joke. -
BB may be the best coach in NFL history but Ive always thought he was just an intelligent guy in a sea of morons. McD was his moron tonight. Just give the opposition enough rope to hang themselves thats what BB does and tonight was perfection. He dared the Bills to play Balls out and beat them with their "superior" talent and the Bills wet themselves and crumbled. Absolutely embarrassing loss!!
