  1. After a slow start against the Colts they scored on how many consecutive drives? And against Baltimore they had one 3-and-out and Allen moved them into scoring position four times in less than 25 minutes of possession time. Indy and Baltimore are good teams with good defenses. This is yet another of your attempts to discredit McDermott by saying they were “tight.” It’s simply not true.
  2. When the best running team in football doesn’t want you, it might be time to hang em up.
  3. Cue the "I don't get it with Phillips" crowd that was out in full force earlier this season as the guy was recovering from ACL surgery.
  4. I've always found Daboll to be very articulate and well-spoken.
  5. Yes, I know he had one fumble we recovered, but aside from that Josh played essentially mistake-free football and led the Bills into scoring position four times with less than 25 minutes of possession time. Gabe dropped a TD and Bass missed two kicks. He didn't throw anything even close to being picked off and still completed 62% in that wind. Anyone "worried" about Josh Allen or the offense needs to stand down.
  6. Gonna go out on a limb here and say that's the point.
  7. I also said Saturday's game wouldn't be all that stressful in the 4th quarter...just sayin'
  8. I'll say it right now -- I was disgusted with how Tyrod had been playing, and I flew up to Buffalo and sat in the stands for that horrid New Orleans game the week before Taylor was benched. McD was mad, and rightfully so. To his credit, McD corrected the mistake immediately and made sure he didn't lose the locker room -- and the Bills went on to finish strong and reach the playoffs.
  9. And as I've said many times...there's a difference between being a fan and hoping things will work out, and actually predicting success. Reasonable fans hoping for success during the drought were repeatedly and consistently mocked and ridiculed when most of us already knew the team/organization was bad.
  10. Nah. If the Chefs win it doesn’t change my thinking...Tre White and Josh Allen were the perfect guys for Buffalo and Josh is only getting better.
  11. I believe the time is now to put to rest some of the more prominent “truths” that have been spoken, here and elsewhere, regarding the McDermott and Beane Bills. Feel free to add to the list as you see fit. It was a colossal mistake not to draft Mahomes in 2017 that will forever haunt the franchise and McD’s legacy McD is a defensive coach who wants to win games 17-13 and doesn’t understand offense Beane doesn’t know how to evaluate offensive talent Anyone can see Josh Allen won’t be a successful NFL QB because of his college stats AcCuRacY for a QB can’t be improved McD is Belichick’s b-i-t-c-h McD can’t beat good teams McD can’t win in the playoffs ”The Process” is b.s. and culture doesn’t matter in the NFL McD is a terrible game day coach Diggs is a diva and Beane gave up too much Edit: forgot a big one: Daboll is a terrible OC A common thread among these frequently uttered takes is the notion that players/coaches/GMs "are who they are" and are therefore incapable of growth, learning, and development. It's a fatally flawed and pessimistic way of looking at humanity. Time to unite as Bills Mafia behind this amazing team and organization, and recognize that many/most “hot takes” are just that. Cheers and GO BILLS!!!
  12. For all of the regular season accomplishments Brees has, his legacy has been a bunch of unexpected playoff exits, punctuated by three consecutive home playoff losses.
  13. If I never have to watch the OCD hand-licking of Drew Brees again then I’m satisfied with this result.
  14. You tell him you know a good guy from NC who is a huge Bills fan and would love to go.
  15. Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock you know that Wolf Blitzer is from Buffalo and a huge Bills fan.
  16. Just stop the nonsense. Does the NFL (and EVERYONE — myself included) want Mahomes to play? Yes. Does that mean they will rush him back when concussions are the biggest health issue in the NFL? Absolutely not. If he can get through the stages of the protocol in time to practice and play he’ll play. If not, he won’t. Every Bills fan commenting on whether Mahomes should/shouldn’t/will/won’t play is engaging in rampant speculation and I think the whole thing reeks of bad karma.
  17. Jesus Christ has this board gotten dumber overnight? Did you notice the HOWLING winds that messed with every kick and pass? Josh still completed 60+% and they did enough to win. The Bills’ offense is elite — top 5 in the NFL.
  18. It’s pretty freaking stupid that this thread even exists. Bad karma all around.
  19. Differences from last KC game: — no Milano — Josh still recovering from shoulder injury — gimpy Edmunds — no Brown — no Wallace If KC gets by Cleveland today it will be a completely different game.
  20. Amazing. I can watch that over and over and over...
  21. I knew it! I posted in the thread last week that McKenzie was probably playing the role of Lamar at practice!
  22. I think I have time to get drunk, sleep it off, then start up again.
  23. Latest forecast: no snow, wind chill 22, winds around 15 mph. Buffalo weather.
