  1. How about Shakir. For Miami game & playoffs I would put the extra load on Shakir and give it a shot. Ty Johnson could be an option too. Keep Harry inactive & open a game day spot.
  2. That would be a new and interesting wrinkle, to allow the Browns to get 2 playoff spots. Make-up to Browns fans for all the bad karma and losses they've experienced in the last 50 years. If the seeding matches up so they play themselves do they just get a bye? And if they have to play 2 games the same weekend in different cities do they roll out a split squad, like in MLB spring training. @Einstein please help explain how this will work?
  3. Giimme a break. The Raiders scored 6 offensive TDs in the 1st half. It was 42-0 at halftime against a team that was shut out last week. How much worse could the Chargers D possibly play. It’s hard to put up yards on Offense when you start at midfield or in the 2’nd half your defense keeps scoring and kicking off. The Raiders scores TDs on 7 of their first 9 Posesaions
  4. Yen please. But they really should fire him right now. Staley will go down awls one of the worst coaches of his generation
  5. The Bills were down to their back-ups on D-line too. Daquan & Von were out & Phillips was playing w a dislocated shoulder bc no one else was left.
  6. It’s Dunne’s style. Presents one sided argument and doesn’t mind embellishments and using unverified comments from sources. https://www.nfl.com/news/aaron-rodgers-on-article-this-was-a-smear-attack-0ap3000001025673
  7. It’s hard to believe that he interviewed 25 people and no one would go on the record. In today’s world a lot of people are happy to put their name behind critical comments. Dunne clearly went into this project biased against McDermott.
  8. His rookie year, 2018 the Bills did not make the playoffs. Allen was the main starter, strarted 11 out of 16 games. He played in 12.
  9. Looks like the Raiders took a cap hit of $3 mil in 21' and $4.8 mil in 22' on Ruggs. It's going to be an ugly situation for the Bills. On the WGR morning show today, they were talking about the Bills cap problems for next year. I was thinking the best option would be to get Von Miller to take a pay cut. Would help the Bills and no one is going to pay Von anything close to what he's scheduled to earn the next 4 yrs wtih Buffalo. Of course that was before he got in a fight with his baby mama. Bills are probably screwed now, with limited options. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/henry-ruggs-47606/
  10. Can you imagine the outrage if he actually called for a punt from the 31 yard line? Holy Jesus that woulda been stupid. This is the thread that jumped the shark on McDermott criticism. Pretty much shows that some fans are going to be against every decision that doesn’t work out perfectly.
  11. Allen was way more than solid yesterday. He missed a few throws, but he truly put the team on his back with a valient effort. He made several amazing plays, 400+ total yards and 4 TDs in terrible weather against a strong D should get it done. But your comps of Marino and Favre are good. His play styie is like Favre, but recently I've been thinking his career could end up like Marino. Marino was an amazing paser, but as on overall QB, I would never have traded Kelly for Marino in their primes. Kelly knew how to manage and win games. In the same way, Eagles fans would not trade Hurts for Allen. The 0-6 OT record for Josh is telling. Other than the Chiefs playoff game, the Bills O had the ball with a chance to win. In those 5 games, their drives were punt, punt, INT, punt , FG. So yesterday was the first time they even put up 3 points. Of course the D was no help in those 6 games. They only forced 1 punt, Houston playoff game, and the Bills punted back to lose on FG, and only forced 1 FG against the Vikings and then Bills lost when Allen was intercepted. Other 4 games were immediate TD drives or punt return for TD. Complimentary football.
  12. Just realized this post was from Nov. 5th. Should've banned the term at that point. 2 ridiculous losses since then.
  13. I voted Yes, because I do hate the term, and the vote wont make a difference. But really we shouldn't ban any terms or negative comments about the Bills on this board. It's a place for fans to vent and share their frustration. Even though B***** is a stupid term, if some fans think it's useful, go ahead and use it. Although this era of the Bills does find unique and heart-wrenching ways to lose dramatic games, I still would rather have this entertaining group to root for compared to some others.
  14. I know what you mean, but I feel like it can help to set-up other routes for Diggs. And although it seems to get shut down more often than not, it has produced a few first downs this year and the play went for 34 yards in 1st Qtr against Cinci.
  15. What a difference it could make if he gets back to even making 2 - 3 plays a game where pressures or sacks QB or a tackle in the backfield. It's upsetting to watch how ineffective he is since his return. Does not look like he is even trying.
  16. I actually thought it was going to be a really good division, Even after Rogers got hurt. Figured the Bills & Fish were defintitely top 5 AFC teams and Jets & NE would both be capable of beating top teams and finish close to .500. I guess the Fish and Jets might hold up to that standard, but overall it's turned out to be a weak division. Really did not see the Bills being so mediocre, they play exactly like a .500 team. And I thought Belichick would at least field a team that coudl be competitve most weeks. You've been talking about Miami's serious run for 10 years. Still waiting
  17. It really is pointless. They could just put a pretty girl on the screen talking about any nonsense for 2 minutes and most of would be just as happy. I've watched thousands of pro & college football games on TV, and the only 2 memorable in-game interviews I remember are when Namath told Suzy Kolber he "I don't give a damn about the NY Jets, I just wanna kiss you" and when Peyton Manning called out his "idiot kicker". So about once every thousand games you get something interesting. Post-game are occasionally interesting when players or coaches are all fired up after a win or depressed after a loss, and say something genuine before they have time to cool down.
  18. Agree, those Jauron teams were really hard to watch. Other than Greg Williams teams, Jauron's Bills were the most hopeless of the drrought era. Besides the blow-out loss to NE, the 07' season featured some other truly horrific losses. Just like last Monday night, the Broncos Field Goal team ran on the field 4th down w/ no TO's and kicked GW FG as time expired in the opener. It was also the game K. Everett was paralyzed. The sickening MNF loss to the Cowboys where the Bills allowed 2 scores in the last 20 seconds to lose by 1 point after our D forced 6 TOs. And all 3 of those games were at the Ralph. It's amazing there were any STHs left the next season. To cap it off the Bills lost in Cleveland to the Browns 8 - 0 in the snow. Good times.
  19. problem is that Bills team needed a 7 game streak. What was crazy about the streak, is that it came out of nowhere and all 6 wins were blow out victories. After 4 1/2 years of below average football they won those 6 games by an average of 28, and didn't score less than 33 in that stretch. There was some real talent on that team. Moulds, Lee Evans, Josh Reed was a good 3 receiver set, Jason Peters at tackle, and McGahee & T.Henry in the backfield. Front 7 on D w Sam Adams, Pat Williams, Aarron Schobel, Takeo Spikes, and London Fletcher was damn good. The last second opening day loss to the Jags & finale against the Steelers back-ups were brutal. And both were at home too. Only time they were anywhere near the playoffs that decade.
  20. I agree with alot of the points here, but the defense is a big part of the problem too. Letting Mac Jones, Tyrod Taylor, Baker Mayfield, Russ Wilson, and Zach Wilson go on long TD drives in crucial moments of the 4th QTR is not a formula for winning football certainly won't put you in position to make the playoffs. I realize Tyrod and NYG didnt actually a score a TD, but that was mostly luck and poor officiating in favor of the Bills. The D has not been able to come with a big stop to seal any of the close games against poor teams. Add in horrible special teams against the Jets and Broncos and here we are, where someone needed to be fired.
  21. I was at that one. As far as regular season games, "just give it to em" game & the MNF loss to the Cowboys were absolutely torcherous and still haunt me. For playoffs (non SuperBowls), the forward pass in Tennessee was the worst b/c of the brutal finish and the fact that it officially ended the Bills golden era, and ushered in the drought. 13 seconds is right there, and could equal it depending what happens in upcoming seasons.
  22. Agree, that one doesn't get mentioned much, considering what a brutal and dramatic loss it was. I think that's the only time the Bills blew a 17 point or more 2nd half lead in Rich/Ralph/New Era/Highmark Stadium. At least the only one I can remember in my decades as a fan.
  23. Bring back Rex Ryan as D-coordinatoor. He will be understanding of 12 men on the field penalties. See if we can trade for Edmunds in the offseason to help with our LB depth. Pass a rule to allow extra defensive Time Outs in the 4th QTR. McD can use them to help opposing offenses select their best plays All of the above will increase scoring and make games more exciting.
