CA OC Bills Fan

I thought the Ravens got rid of Smoke because they couldn't utilize him with Jackson. Now people are saying Jackson's problem is lack of weapons? At least as of now, his problem is he's not a good enough passer. He needs to become that for continuing success, at least to be considered a top QB. From everything I've heard, he's a very hard worker. So, he may get there, just not yet.

Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed this Dunne article as well as the one that was shared a couple of weeks ago.

I agree, I'd be po'ed too. Was just quoting Kirwan.

I was listening to siriusxm nfl radio an hour or so ago. Pat Kirwan said everyone knows Dabol has been hired by the chargers, just waiting for the farce of the NFL rules of not allowing until elimination to make it official. Also said Dabol has his staff in place. Edit: I guess that Pat Kirwan's information was no more reliable than Adam Shefter's. I'm sad for Dabol as I think the Chargers would be an excellent opportunity but happy for Josh and the Bills.

I get some nervousness. But really, you think the Bills have little or no chance to win?

I listened to Phil Simms last night talking to Mad dog, he made some of the same comments. Said the Colts dominated both sides of the line, completely outplayed the Bills, but Josh Allen made at least six passes that only three other QBs are capable of making. He is pretty confident that the Ravens will win tonight. Although I generally could care less what the talking heads say, I think because I generally respect what Simms (father or son) has to say, it bothered me that he (Phil) went on and on about how hot a team Baltimore is without any mention of how hot the Bills are. Both teams won close games last week and both have played their best near the end of the season.

Don't know where to get the link but I did hear it. He did absolutely lose his mind, the most animated I ever heard him. As I recall, he was ejected from his last game as a player pretty early in the game. I think he would have been ejected here as well if he was on the field.

More skilled based on what? Have you been at all of the practices this season? Pretty sure McD has seen more of the players than you have. Williams had one excellent half that intrigues most of us. I, and I'm sure others, are kind of hoping that he's active even if that means both him and Yeldon are. But, Yeldon has had good games as well in very limited use.

Maybe Marrone will finally get his dream job. Please, please let that happen.

I agree. The Bills had horrible field position all half and did nothing with it (except for the 85 yard drive which happened to be the best field position they had all half). I'm sure they expected to score a TD here and if not then the Bills wouldn't be able to do much. As the OP said, Reich also probably believed if they didn't score they'd even get the ball back. If they do score, either a TD or a FG, then there's a good chance the Bills will finally get good starting field position. The entire playbook would be open to the Bills with 105 seconds left. Better to have 7 points before giving us the ball back than 3. Here's the possibilities of what would happen in those last 105 seconds (110 seconds at that point - and yes, I know this is obvious). I suspect the last option at the bottom, the one that happened, they felt was least likely if they went for it. Scenario, Colts - Bills score Colts Points Bills Points They score TD/We don't score, Score 17-7 7 0 They score TD/We get a FG, 17-10 7 3 They score TD/We get a TD, 17-14 7 7 They score a FG/We don't score, 13-7 3 0 They score a FG/We get a FG, 13-10 3 3 They score a FG/We get a TD, 13-14 3 7 They don't score/We don't score, 10-7 0 0 They don't score/We get a FG, 10-10 0 3 They don't score/We get a TD, 10-14 0 7

He said he resigned, but since he was under contract, he couldn't resign. The Jets complained and Tagliabue agreed. The Cheats agreed to give the Jerks a 1st round pick for the right to hire the Cheater. This was the 1st time NE and BB were caught cheating.

Last one I remember was Bellicheaat from the Jersey Jerks to the Patsies.

What a great time to be a Bills fan!!! I almost forgot how fun this is. About today's game, I don't remember a game where offence, defense, and special teams all scored touchdowns. Anyone else? I can't imagine its happened often.

Yup. I was born in 1960 and always considered myself a Bills fan. I remember following them from '71 when they were 1-13, through the '70s when we were always Miami's b*the, even in the couple of good OJ years. Then the '80s, we were good a couple of years when Knox made us a real organization, so of course Ralph drove him away. I wanted to write Ralph a letter right after Knox quit saying I was done with the Bills, but of course I couldn't stop rooting for them even through another half decade of craptitude. Then of course the glory days with Levy/Kelly and then Wade before the drought came. We are due for this new era of continued success. We finally once again have a QB/coach/GM to make it happen and ownership that will support them.

Every year teams get in because of some luck or needing help to get in. So what? Kind of amazing we went so long without ever getting that luck. Of course, also pretty amazing how long from 200 through 2016 we went with only 2 winning records and both times the coach quit.

The only thing surprising is that someone in the media found out. Who would leak that? We all remember when things would leak from One Bills Drive all the time. Glad they put a stop to that.

Thanks for sharing. That Pats fan was spot on. Read several comments. Bills fans mostly loved it except a few who still thought Allen was a wasted pick. Most non-Bills fans thought the guy was crazy.

Nate Hackett sighting. Bet he doesn't mind that Marrone made him a scapegoat.

I don't care much who we play. But, on the other hand, wouldn't it be great if we avenged all of our regular season losses in the playoffs? In fact, if we rest starters in Week 17 and that allows the Dolfish to get in, could we play Fish, Titans, Chefs, and then in the Super Bowl the Cardinals? I realize very unlikely (at least for the Cardinals to make it that far), but it would be great.

That sucked.

Ben is horrible. Almost none of his passes have been cathable.

Someone already said it before, we need Titans to lose a game. They play Green Bay, so it's quite likely.

Dumb play, taunting

Since I moved back to NYS, in September I knew I'd buy seasons again (left in 93, the only year I had season tickets instead of going to a handful of games each year). Last week I heard an ad that they're taking reservations. I called up to buy 2 tickets. Got the 40 yard line row 35. An hour later called to get 2 more for a friend knowing there were 2 seats next to me. The 4 right behind were also open. Another friend called 2 days later and was told those were gone. I called back yesterday and was told the best available were near the end zone. He said the last 2 weeks have been going like crazy.

By firing Greggo they got rid of the only obvious interim replacement so at least Gase will likely last the season.
