    The ranks are bad but he never really had a chance to succeed at any of these stops.  Look at the starting QBs Daboll had to work with:

     

    2009 - CLE -  Brady Quinn (9) / Derek Anderson (7)

    2010 - CLE - Colt McCoy (8) / Jake Delhomme (4) / Seneca Wallace (4) - HC Eric Mangini fired after the season

    2011 - MIA - Chad Henne (4)Matt Moore (12) - HC Tony Sparano fired with 3 games remaining

    2012 - KC - Matt Cassel (8) / Brady Quinn (8) - HC Romeo Crennel fired after the season

     

    I don't think any coach could be successful with those QBs and having to deal with all that change.  I also don't think we know what type of system he can run because he's never had the players to run it.  For Allen's sake, I think some continuity would be good. 

     

    I'd be fine with adding Kingsbury to the coaching staff as an offensive assistant or QB coach, just not the OC.

  2. To me it was a fun game to watch because it doesn't happen very often.  If that becomes the norm, it'll lose its luster.   

     

    Let's see if one of these teams actually wins the Super Bowl before we talk about how they changed the future of the game.  There have been a lot of great offenses over the years that put up great numbers but didn't win the ultimate prize.  Typically offense wins awards, defense wins championships.

    ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — With little money to spend and few impact players interested in signing with the Bills given the uncertainty at quarterback this past offseason, general manager Brandon Beane understood Buffalo’s offense was going to struggle.

     

    Little did he realize how much.

     

    “There’s nobody that goes into a season and looks for either side of the ball to have a down year and to be statistically where our offense is,” Beane told The Associated Press during a wide-ranging interview before Buffalo entered its bye week.

     

    He then recalled something former coach John Fox once said when the two worked together in Carolina.

     

    “There’s nobody going to rescue you in-season,” said Beane, in his second year in Buffalo. “You’ve got to dig out of it yourself. And all you can do is put your head down and keep working.”

     

    Much of the heavy lifting will have to wait for the offseason when Buffalo is projected to be more than $90 million under the NFL’s salary cap, plus a current stockpile of 10 draft picks.

     

    This is a big part of why Allen's performance over the next 6 games is so important.  Hopefully he plays well enough to remove that uncertainty so some decent FA WRs want to come here.

  4. Based on where you live, I'd probably go with one of the Bills legends so you get more longevity out of it.  I also have a closet full of former players that didn't quite pan out as I would have hoped. 

     

    Another option is get a custom jersey with your name & favorite number on it.

    After reading some of these responses it’s clear to me that many of you are, to quote DC Tom, idiots. I don’t “hate” Nate Peterman. I wish him the best in his future endeavors. But the last thing I feel for this guy is “sympathy” for what he has “endured.”  He’s a million bucks richer and is smart enough to find a wonderful career that doesn’t involve throwing an interception every 9 times he throws a football.  Sorry many of you are too dense to understand that. 

     

    I once saw a total stranger get hit by a car. That is the sympathy I feel for NP. Seemed like a nice guy that just shouldn't have been in the road.

    I am in a 2QB league and unfortunately missed the draft.  My original picks through autodraft were Darnold and Tyrod Taylor.  As you can probably guess things went south when Tyrod was benched and people tend to stash QBs in the draft.  To protect myself only Bills players were available for Week 1, so I picked up Peterman and Allen not knowing who would start.  I used Taylor and Darnold until Tyrod was benched and had to switch to Allen.  As you know all to well, Peterman was the only QB available until Derek Anderson showed up in week 7?  I was forced to start Peterman in week 9 and actually got 12 points (probably because of the rushing TD)  This week I'm still waiting for who will start, but I'm guessing it will be Peterman.  Darnold has been lousy the last several weeks so on a whim I found McCown was available so I'm currently McCown/Peterman.  It gets worse next week as everyone has a bye.

     

    What would you do?

     

    Maybe Lamar Jackson if you're really desperate. At least he plays in some different packages.

    How come Sean McVay didn’t need 4 years?

     

    For starters, he had a very talented QB heading into his 2nd year and also one of if not the best RB in the game waiting for him.  That's a combination that not too many 1st time HCs get. 

     

    In the history of the NFL, what McVay has been able to accomplish in his first 2 seasons is more of an anomaly, not the norm.

     

    EDIT:  By saying that, I'm not trying to diminish what McVay has been able to do.  He's a heck of a coach but having the right pieces in place for him to install his offense has greatly helped. 

  8. &$%# that, I demand satisfaction NOW!!!  McD & Beane haven't done everything exactly as I wanted them to so they need to be fired yesterday.  If the new guys don't field an elite team by week 6 of next year, fire them too.  Eventually they'll hire me and we'll go 19-0 cuz I've got all the answers. 

     

    Signed,

    Way too many posters on TSW

    Who are we talking about? 

     

    Is Watkins a lockeroom cancer to the Chiefs right now? 

     

    Sammy admitted last year while with the Rams that he was selfish and not the best teammate while in Buffalo.  The change of scenery helped him grow up.  I viewed getting rid of him like a baseball trade.  We weren't resigning him to the contract he would have demanded so we got something for him while we could. 

  10. This place is solid gold.  I think I just got hit with a piece of the falling sky.  McBeane will get a fair shot to finish executing their plan.  Will it work?  Maybe, maybe not but I am fairly certain that if we just continually turnover the staff, we'll continue going nowhere.

    So Beane and/or McDermmot should be fired.

     

    If you advocate for that, tell us all: who are you going to get to replace them?  Anybody you put forth has be to willing to come here after you have just canned the HC and/or GM after a year and a half.

     

    This is one of the points I tried to make in the fire McD thread.  What coach or GM worth a damn will want to come here if we keep pulling the plug so quickly?

    And hopefully Pegula learned a lesson if this is what happens. 

     

    Build off the talent you have in place already. Don't trade it just because of "culture" and "process". 

     

    But what if those players, as physically talented as they are, only add laziness and selfishness to that culture?  All while taking up very large chunks of cap space.  I hate to use them as an example because I don't want to put McD in the same category as Belicheat but look at the "Patriot* way".  It doesn't matter how talented a guy is, if he doesn't get with the plan and do his job to the best of his ability every singe play, he's gone.  Belicheat was that way from day #1 in Cleveland before he was the hooded one.  All 53 need to buy in and move forward in the same direction for a team to be successful.  Those who don't end up being cancers in the locker room.  Plenty of other teams have gotten rid of talented players for that very reason as well.

  11. I had the redzone channel on all day yesterday and had no issues. 

     

    Glad I'm not the only one having things not appear in my DVR list.  I just thought my box was getting old and that I would have to replace it soon.

     

    I had also been having some issues with my 2nd and 3rd wireless boxes as well.  The main one being that every time I'd turn those on the display would be in 480 rather than 1080 and no matter what setting I'd change, I could not get it to be widescreen.  It would say 1080 supported but would still be standard screen.  I hit the button on the side countless times, changed the HDMI, unplugged it for a few hours but nothing worked.  In playing with the menu settings, I found an option to reset the box to default.  Once I did that, all issues with both boxes have gone away.  The display has stayed at the settings it should, the ridiculous delay we were having is gone and everything in my DVR list has been visible.  I wish I could do that to the main box as well but I would assume resetting to default settings will delete everything on my DVR.

  12. That line moves depending on what stadium you are in and the type of people around you but I think a lot of it is the vibe you give off.  If you are only yelling and angry, the people around you will probably feel the same way toward you, after all, you are an enemy in their house that day.  If you come across as happy and make it a point early on to connect with the other fans around you on a human level rather than just as fans of opposing teams, they are more likely to return that same attitude to you.  Engaging with and even respectfully joking around with them early on about their team, city and/or life in general will probably buy you more leeway later on.

     

    No matter what you do, it's never OK for anyone to put their hands on you or anyone else though.
