I do not buy the trap game angle,,, as they had their "trap game" scares when they were huge favorites over Miami and NO and both games were tied or barely ahead in the 4th Qtr.  

 

Like every recent season, I think the Bills fall victim to their regular season "greatness" and how Vegas and media anoint them as SB favorites.  The players since week 1 feel like no matter how iffy the game is going, they will pull it out at the end...because they are the Buffalo Bills.  Well guess what, when the opponent wants the game more than you? a comeback is not always going to happen.  McDermott does a nice job trying to keep the guys humble and hungry but it's human nature as a player to think your team is awesome and nothing bad will happen.  They forgot about attention to detail in the NE game, and how hard they need to outwork the opponent.  Simple as that.

 

 

A good with valid points as well.

wait are you serious?

 

a 2-3 game lull that costs us vs inferior opponents...this literally happens every yr 

 Just because you lose to an "inferior" opponet, that does not automatically define it as a trap game. Neither team played well most of the game. Drake Maye made some outstanding plays in the fourth quarter but overall, his play was maybe only slightly above average. Yet, the Bills lost. They lost because they were unfocused, sloppy, and had multiple turnovers and penalties. They phoned in their game, plain and simple. THAT is what made this a trap game.

 

 You can play an "inferior" team and play well, yet still lose. If that so called inferior team plays at a higher level than they have in the past weeks. That is just part of the game. Any given Sunday as they say. Had both teams played well and the Bills still lost, that isn't a trap game. That is just getting out played and getting beat. 

[Tired of "everyone eats".]

 The everyone eats mentality is not the problem. At least, not when it comes to the loss to the Patriots. They (The Bills) got caught in the "Trap Game", looking past the Patriots to either the Falcons or the bye week. McD usually has not fallen victim to the trap game, and typically keeps the team focused. That obviously did not happen this past week. The mental mistakes and miscues were so far beyond ridiculous that it was to the point of sillyness.

 

 That first fumble clearly shows that the offense was so totally out of sync and that thier timing was way off. Later on in the game, when they ran that play again, it almost happened again where the ball was going to get knocked out of Josh's hands, but luckly he was ablt to adjust. Whatever the issues are with the offense, I am certain they will get them worked out.

 The defense on the other hand.... they are just playing awful at this point. Tre is getting absolutely smoked on nearly every play and needs to be benched. There are so many injuries on defense (like every other year) they haven't been able to field their primary defensive players all at the same time. I know that all teams deal with injuries. But, it seems like this team deals with way more than the average, and they always seem to be primarily on the defensive side of the ball.    

[What did you do to cause the Bills to lose?]

It's my fault. I wasn't able to watch the game from my living room highback arm chair. The Bills had not lost at home since I had started sitting in that arm chair. I was traveling for a funeral and unable to watch from home. 

[Why don't punters wear knee and ankle braces on their plant foot?]

My guess would be, due to lack of mobility if he is the last line of defense in the even of a good return and he needs to be able to run full out and make a tackle. Just my thoughts on it anyway.

[Josh Allen and the Stiff Arm]

Josh isn't the type of player to let a broken or dilocated finger slow him down. I wouldn't even be shocked if he started slinging it left handed. (sarcasm)

[Josh will be wearing a visor this week]

For the all players should wear visors folks, they are great for indoor teams, but they fog up in the cold, and are an absolute pain when it rains or snows.

I would like to disagree with you on this because there are options that you can use for spraying on the visor to prevent the fogging, but I just can't. The fact is, those sprays suck, and they don't work. I have tried them for those chilly mornings when riding my motorcycle, and i still need to leave my visor unlocked and lifted a 1/4 to 1/2 inch to prevent it from fogging up and collecting moisture. It really is a pain.

I think all visors need to be “approved” by the league ahead of the game but I’m not totally sure on this. Or if there is an exemption for injury. 

Not all visors, but anything that is tinted. At least according to the rules.

"only 100% clear visors are legal for use in games unless a player has a doctor's note and league approval for a tinted or colored visor due to a medical reason. Referees have the final say, and players must ensure their visor is completely clear and free of any "swag" like logos or lettering. The strict requirement for clear visors allows medical personnel to check players' eyes for injuries without removing their helmet, which is critical in the event of a suspected spinal injury."

 

But in 2019 the league signed a deal with Oakley, so players now have the option to wear Oakley Prizm Clear shields, a lightly tinted visor meant to enhance visual acuity and spatial awareness in players. details found here.

I started making it last year during the playoffs. It has just the right amount of kick, and the perfect sweetness from the bourbon. It just needs to be made the day before to give it time to settle and thicken up. Once it does, Mmmmm mmmmmm. So smooth and delicious. 

[An amazing TO stat for the Bills…]

8 hours ago, eball said:

 

Yes, but it was always overblown because his TD to TO numbers were still staggering.  Regardless, it is yet another area of his game he has worked fervently to improve, and it shows in historic fashion.

 

 

Not to mention that his numbers were not that far off from Brady, P Manning, Favre, and a few others in the same amount completed years in the league. Assuming the stats that ChatGPT pulled are correct, I think it is safe to assume the narritive that Josh was a "turnover machine" (especially in his early career) are grossly exagerated. 
 

[How many home games do you attend a year?]

I used to go to 3-4 games a year, sometimes add in one additional one from a vendor that some years would invite me to a game as well. The last few years, it has been only 1 game a year. Like @BuffaloBillyG and @The Jokeman, between the weather and traffic, especially the weather... meh. I've reached the age where I am just plain sick of the cold and winter. I get a great view from my Wingback chair, with my feet up and a nice cold drink and some fresh chicken wings with homemade Buffalo Trace bourbon Buffalo sauce.

If they don’t turn it around, they are really screwed with the Tua and Hill contracts  unless they pull a Denver and just eat a massive contract.  Assuming they would try to trade Hill and eat some of the costs. I don’t see anyone trading for Tua though.

 

Regardless just beat Miami!

100% agree! Especialy about Tua! He is so prone to concussions, I'm not sure anyone would want to touch him. With his contract, they would probably have to cut him unless he decided to retire. Which I highly doubt he would do. He refused to 2 years ago when it was suggested to him for his own health and safety.

Some of the crap that comes out of his mouth, I sometime wonder if he trades places with Tue sometimes and is the one that actually gets concussed. LOL! He seems braindead to me much of the time i hear him talk.

[Week 3, Fish v. Bills, PREDICT THE SCORE!]

I think Josh lays down 30 in the first half giving us a 30 - 0 lead and Mitchy Trubinski plays most if not all of the second half. Fins get some garbage time points in the fourth. Final score

 

Bills - 37

Fins - 10

Living in Florida around a bunch of very obnoxious Dolphins fans, a crushing victory like this shuts them up.  They've been talking trash since the draft.  I don't have to say a word because they now know that their hype isn't real.  I'll be surprised if more teams don't incorporate McD's strategy to shut down the Miami offense.  The blueprint is readily available on game video.  They're in for a long season.

The blueprint is there, but they still need the players with the speed and skill set to execute that blueprint. 

[James Cook has less touches than Ray Davis over past 5 seasons]

Once you hit the Pro level, collegiate stat's are pointless. They don't amass to anything. You might be able to infer trends based off of habits or whatever, but the Pro level is a completely different animal. It is far more competitive, with harder hits, and RB's get banged around far more in the NFL than they do in college. Because of that, estimating "milage" based off the number of carries alone is utterly pointless. If you are going to base it on milage, you need to factor in how hard those miles were. How many hard hits did he take, how many holes that he popped through where he got banged around a lot. All that said,  as @Malazan said, you don't keep RB's on their second contract, and I agree. The only time that statement isn't true is when they are the elite of the elite. They have to be the best of all RB's and it can't even be a close comparison.

 

Your post also makes a huge assumption seeing as you didn't mention it at all. Injuries. This team is notorious for sustaining significant injuries, and RB's take a ton of hits. Their is just no way to "guess" which player would be the player to keep at this point in their careers. There are just to many factors that come into play between now and then.

[In the Bills mini-rebuild trading Hamlin to Pittsburg might be the right thing to do.]

The truth is any backup player generating press for non-football related reasons is a distraction. And I hate to say this, but it appears fame has gotten to Damar's head a little bit. Trading him to Pitt is a better PR move than just cutting him outright, but he probably shouldn't be on the roster this year regardless. 

 By all means. please explain further how fame has "gotten to his head". I mean, all he does is go around the country performing charity work with his and other foundations. Like others have mentioned, he is not a "key" or "top" performer, so it's not like he doesn't have the free time to do the work. Not to mention, it's great publicity to the orginization. If anything, I would argue that he would probably be kept on the team as a depth guy, just for that reason alone (especially if someone significanly better doesn't become available), while he works on honing his skills and try to move up the depth chart. It's not like he is completely without skills on the field. He was solid in 2022 as a backup Yes, he needs to improve, but he is not the worst player we have had at the position. 

 

18 hours ago, Warcodered said:

People just really have a hard on for getting rid of Hamlin, just obsessed with the idea he's only here because of what happened, the idea he's safety depth is apparently absurd.

 I agree with this. There really is no down side to keeping him. Based on history with our strength and conditioning, we have issues with players going down for extended periods, especially on the defensive side of the ball, so we need the depth in the defensive backfield. He knows the defense, he's popular with most fans, and he is a PR goldmine. at least for the time being he is, and I think that as long as the team see's imporvements or at least no decline in his skills, the smart play is keeping him. Cutting him could be a PR nightmare, and with all the BS the team had delt with with Diggs, they may not want to rock the boat. And I know that teams shouldn't concider PR when cutting players, but in this instanse, they might.

11 hours ago, NastyNateSoldiers said:

Just cut him and let him sign there. Why would Pitt give us anything for Hamlin?  He's a bkup 

Riiight, because backup players that don't get a ton of playing time don't ever get traded because other teams see something in a player that another team doesn't. That NEVER happens! 😂😂🙄

 

Btw, Damar is currently a depth player, not a backup. Currently he only plays if there are injuries to multiple players. While specifically to Damar, you are correct, he would not be a trade target, "backup" players in general are traded routinely. 

[How many passes could you complete?]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, you're making one heck of an assumption, beleiving I and/or many of us others would even survive all 4 quarters with 250+ pound defensive linemen or 230lbs safety barrelling down on us. Even in my prime age to which i was actually in pretty darn good shape, i seriously doubt I'd last much past the first quarter, if that. 

 One of the options should have been 0-1. If i were in my prime, I think I could complete at least 1 pass to a running back in the flats off a fake handoff. If I had to be the age and shape I am in now (which is round btw), it's a fat zero for me. LOL!!

[Lions fans mad at Dan Campbell. Bills fans mad at Sean McDermott. Would you trade McD for Campbell]

While I don't agree with how concervative Sean is. I think Dan can be waaaay to recless with his decision making; with his all or nothing every game, all the time mentality. He wasted a lot of clock time last night. He could have saved 50 seconds or more and not wasted his first timeout had he kicked the field goal first and tried  the onsides kick. He would have had all three timeouts still if the onsides kick failed.

Well, we know a few things about Kansas City Swifties: 

 

1. They like the smell of their own farts

2. They are 1-3 vs the Bills in the last 4 meetings

3. They enjoy running in circles and doing trick plays

 

As evidenced by the last time we met, these guys thought it would be funny to try and recreate the music city forward lateral the day after the guy who did it passed away. Thanks to Toney being the dork that he is, their “Greatest Play That Didn’t Count” was just that: worthless.

 

Now they’re coming into hostile territory and they’ll need any advantage they can get. Be it Taylor Swift, one of the Mahomes sideshows, or a trick play, anything is an option. So, how do you prepare for that and do we try to bring a trick play of our own into the mix?

 

 I think the answer to your question is that the defense can't quit on any play until they hear the whistle. Everyone has to stick to their man or zone, and they need to get Pat out of rythem.
