  1. I’m actually one of the few people who wanted the Bills to move up a little and draft Tannehill. He has talent. I always thought he’d be an Alex Smith type QB. Miami did a terrible job helping him out. I am very happy though with JA.
  2. It just shows you that a great team can take an ass kicking sometimes. A not yet great team taking an ass whipping isn’t a forecast for the future. Good teams get whipped in this league. As terrible as they played they were still in the game late into the 3rd quarter. We shall see how they respond. Response is an important telling sign.
  3. Me too, except he’s not that knowledgeable. The “I was a coach” thing is nothing more then to attempt to give his opinion validity. I have never heard him detail any of the football language a real coach would know. Hes on WGR because the people who followed him when he worked from his moms basement flooded WGR with “ hire Sal” calls and emails. For those who think those guys make a good living, you are very mistaken. Ill take my “living”over his any day. Having said the above, he’s probably the best that station has to offer. I’d listen to him anytime over most there. I listen when I’m driving and most of the callers are moronic, their questions are mostly uneducated drivel.
  4. Having sacks isn’t the biggest positive, it’s getting pressure. We have literally no pressure. That’s why Hughes is struggling. There’s no one else creating pressure.
  5. Edmunds is very young. He also has an injured shoulder, which is difficult for a linebacker. Shedding blocks and tackling with a bad shoulder is not a good thing. They should rest him unless it’s a chronic condition.
  6. The milkman’s defense, what’s it called, nine wide? It needs good players,a good DL, which we are lacking at this point. We got beat by a very good Tennessee team that did a bit more practicing than we know. You don’t set a defense up like they did in supposedly limited practices. Taking away the effective, to this point, crossover scheme. That required set up and practice. It’s a wake up call. Frazier needs to dial up a blitz package somehow. The 4 men up front, along with the LBs isn’t getting the job done.
  7. Tough game all around. I remember the Super Bowl Bills teams laying eggs, most notably in prime time. Im usually really pissed off after a game like this but for some reason I think we bounce back, especially offensively. Heads were hanging from the get go. The Titans took away JAs/Dabolls bread and butter cross over routes by flooding both sides. Daboll refused to take what was there from the beginning, which were short throws in the middle zone. Adjustments offensively in the 3rd quarter are lacking. Josh Allen was very confused at times with what the Titans were showing defensively. Daboll had no answer until it was too late. His focus wasn’t there tonight. The blueprint is now out there on how to play this offense, unless the OC can adjust. This team was not ready to play tonight. Blame McClappy? Did we not game plan properly? Practice? The penalties sure looked like focus wasn’t there. Did the fact this game wasn’t a go until Monday a big Reason? Losing players to injuries hurt but the effect shouldn’t be as dramatic as what happened. The defense is not very good. Management, with their arrogance, believes they can plug in average to below average players and continue with quality play. The “system” isn’t working.This team is in desperate need of better defensive lineman/pass rushers, linebackers and could use another DB. What was once thought as depth is now a detriment. Sure looks like they miss Lawson and Star.
  8. Bbbbbuttt, PFF says Darnold is a better player.
  9. No problem for me with the throw. People here have been bitching about not throwing up contested balls and having faith in your receiver. That’s what good QBs do. Getting conservative isn’t a wise choice against a team that can score in bunches. It was a completion and they were screwed by a ref/ NY that was trying to get a more competitive game going.
  10. I guess, if it’s based on stats. Its a stats based world today. Dak just doesn’t exhume fear. He looks average to me. Tannehill even getting a vote is a joke, but of course it’s based on his last year statistically. Having a 65% accuracy rating isn’t all that much different than being in the upper 50s. Way too much emphasis on percentages. Darnold received a vote? Lol. He’s in the same league as Allen right now, except Allen’s team won a few more games. Allen was in the playoffs. You can all have your stats.
  11. If they have substantial funds in the market they likely held. Smart investors would be buying at depressed prices. The markets coming back and 50% gains at minimum have been easy.
  12. You are likely joking but what you just stated is true. I have a family member that had Covid 19 that caused brain inflammation. Hallucinations were part of it and Watson wasn’t one of them. Thank God she is getting better. She did tell me the Bills are going to the AFC championship though.( She’s a huge Bills fan) lost a few weeks of her life. Was shocked to find out Brady went to Tampa. All true.
  13. Any scenario is depended upon Free Agency first. FA will set the table for possibilities. I’d prefer to trade up this year, the higher the better. We have too many picks right now, and need a potential elite talent that can play today for you.
  14. It’s about ratings. Our three prime time games were highly rated. Therefore we get more prime time games. The NFL needs to learn a lesson. People are very tired of seeing the same teams play on prime time.
  15. Daboll is not the right OC for this QB. He’s terrible at feel for game flow. It’s seems apparent though that our head coach had dictated this philosophy. Dinosaur football, get a lead, play conservatively, allowing the defense to seal the deal. Speaking of defense, we were killed by those 2 point conversions. The shoddy tackling continued today. Houston didn’t deserve to win this game. Better days ahead if we can get this coaching staff out of the 1970s.
  16. Huh? Beane fixed the cap mess. That’s what he was hired to do.
  17. Not a fan of Dabol and likely never will be. The Route tree of each receiver, when said Route is complete, shows a lack of imagination. No receiver is open, Allen scrambles, each receiver stands dormant because their Route is complete. Come back to the QB for a completion, don’t end the route. The DB is likely behind you or to the side, a straight line back towards the QB will get you yardage. This is coaching, this is Dabol. I’m convinced if we had a more seasoned OC that we would have won a couple games we lost. The head scratching deep balls on third and three are mind boggling at best. I believe Dabol is in over his head. Usually, The best series for an offense is their first drive in both halves. They are scripted to take advantage of tendencies, but not ours. Our first drives are mediocre at best. Nope, not a fan of Dabol. He’s not using Allen correctly.
  18. Lol, there are others with real sources inside that you people don’t believe in.
  19. Just heard Bills and Steelers on Sunday Night Football. Hate it. Love 1pm games. ”Pittsburgh in the mix two weeks against the Bills on Sunday Night Football”
  20. This line is doing a great job pass blocking right now. You can never have enough O or D linemen, so I’d pick up a few more this off season.
  21. Its not a question. I would question how true a Bills fan anyone who considers rooting for NE is.
