TC in St. Louis

I noticed that the Pats RB's would take immediate cuts into slight gaps, and then slash their way for 4-10 yards. There have to be some slight openings at times that our guys go past looking for big holes....which may never open. This may be a coaching problem. There are RBs all over the league with arguably less talent than our group....and they are gaining yards by making "business decisions." Who's teaching them? Sure, our offensive line needs improvement. But they can't be that much worse than average.

We handed Jacksonville the game when we declined the holding call. We let them kick the field goal instead of pushing them out of field goal position and making a stop. I was disgusted with that, and shared my thoughts with the St. Louis Bills Backers when they declined the penalty. "We just gave them the lead," is what I said. And that's what happened.

Might still have issues from the broken hand.

I hadn't noticed. He can see guys jump Offside, and twice has been hurt by the missed calls. I don't see how these calls are missed. When I can see it 800 miles away, live on t.v., I think the officials should see it too. However, if he thinks he has a free play, he should try and put the ball in a catchable position. His throw to Knox was way off. If any player thinks he's right, he has the right to protest.

The Pats were afraid to throw the ball. Bill knew that could lead to turnovers, so he kept plugging into the line and killing the clock. Some may say that's brilliant. I say it's fear. Fear of loss. Turns out, he was right.

The team is in a surly mood. Plenty of talent here. Can't wait till Sunday. If we make the dance, we'll be dancing. Jerry Sullivan can go alone.

The Bills are the better team. The only thing that can stop them is if they let Bellichick get inside their heads. He's got 11 guys on defense. No matter where he puts them, Josh and Daboll should be able to make adjustments and call the right plays. They can't freak out or they'll be in trouble.

I texted my friend, a Chiefs fan, that the OPI call was the weakest call in the history of the NFL. He agreed.

I just watched an NFL show on ESPN, and all the analysts agree that Bill Bellichick's defense is incomprehensible and dominant, and the Bills are screwed. Then I remembered that the Bills have a pretty good defense too, and wondered if they even know that. I'd play clips like that for our defense as an example that, despite their achievements, they're considered nothing compared to the Patriots defense. This might be a game where the players run right through those schemes and take care of business.

The Pats have been in the Bills heads for years. Most of our players didn't suffer through to the extent the fans have....obviously. They're a really good team. We have lost at least one game we never should have lost. What happened that day is the Jags showed up pissed and possessed and throttled our men up front. Our team was not mentally prepared for that. We could've beaten the Titans. We should have won the opener. We got whupped by the Colts. Ok, those are rationalizations. But I think the Patriot hex has come to an end, and this Monday our team will be ready, and we'll take the game.

It's up to the Bills players to come in with a proper attitude and anger. There is no chance they take this lightly. This can and should be the game where the team finds its identity and moves toward a championship. Part of that identity is to not turn the ball over, and to not commit dumb penalties. Of course, officiating could make a difference. This is a showcase game, and I don't think the NFL wants the refs running around tossing hankies and ruining a good matchup.

They will have to dial up more pressure on the QB, and maybe use more zone. They'll figure it out. Or the offense will have to score more points.

I have a bad feeling about this. But they will adjust, one way or another. Thankful we have 10 days till the next game, whoever that is.

It was a gamble. I think the city won. That's a lot of money. They could have held out and, who knows? When this lawsuit started, most people seemed to think it was a waste of time and money.

I don't know how much it would cost, or how high we'd have to move. But that guy is an immovable object, and is a beast. Plug and play for years. Just have to see how the draft plays out. We could be picking anywhere from 19 to 32.

They should move up and draft that monster DT from Georgia. Davis.

The game sucked. The team made every conceivable mistake. The Colts played their best game of the year, and we played our worst. When you play this poorly, you will lose. Our defense has been dominant in nearly every game. They failed Sunday. Time to play angry football. We're about to find out what we have here in Buffalo.

I guess it was the only way they could get him… Put him on the 53 man roster. Let’s see if he’s on the active roster this Sunday. As somebody pointed out, he knows the offense, and knows how to screw it up.

I watched it. They spent a lot of time showcasing the upcoming birth of Carson's baby girl, and what a sweet guy he is. They also showed what a good sweet guy Darius Leonard is off the field, and what a crazy person he is on the field. They used a tape of the Bills/Jags game to create a blocked punt scheme, which worked and probably won the game for them. Carson Wentz and Frank Reich share a fondness for a particular bible verse, which seemed to create a tremendous bond between them. Frank is a believer in God and Carson Wentz, and that is nice. Jonathan Taylor is a great player. I look forward to next week's show, especially if the Bills win the game.

I am listening to the Jets radio feed, and their guys said the roughing the passer call was bad.

Might need to scour the world for a new OL coach. I remember when Jim McNally coached the Giants to the Super Bowl with two Bills castoffs starting on the line. Glenn Parker and Dusty Ziegler. Too bad McNally retired. Maybe they should hire him as a consultant.

Maybe the Bills will learn from the 3 losses that you have to play angry. I suspect they'll be loaded for bear this week.

Bring in the RB from the practice squad. I'll bet he's ready to plow through some mini holes. We all agree that Ford blows. Cut him. Put in somebody with attitude and anger. This whole team needs to play angry. Side note: Wyatt Teller was pick #166 in the 2018 draft. If his talent was that obvious, he wouldn't have lasted that long. They saw him as a tradable asset, and he was part of the formula that got us Josh. Cleveland probably has a better OL coach.

Their right tackle was up early at least 5 times. And on the 4th and 2, they were Offside, and somehow Boettger got the flag. Instead of 1st and 10 at the 37, we punt from the 47. The officials officially sucked. The fix was in.

That’s the kind of sugar daddy likes!
