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.

The NFL has no interest in "fixing" what fans call horrible officiating. The NFL has put in place a set of rules that allow the refs the best opportunity to maximize dollars generated for the league. On top of that, the not chaning of the rules gurentees that they stay "relevent" in the media which furthers the maximization of money coming into the NFL. My personal opinion is that they only way they would be forced to change (maybe), is for the IRS to take away their non for profit status and make them start paying taxes on the league earns.

First of all I'm 100% convinced the Diggs blow-up last year v Cincy was all about Dorsey's incompetence and to a degree Josh supporting him. It was exactly what we thought it was. Now yes Stef can be a mild deva, but I believe he's also smart enough to see the value of targeting other guys if top D's scheme out his impact. Joe was brilliant yesterday using Cook, Kincaid and Shakir while Diggs was bracketed. Even Davis on his deep routes opened up shallow slots. Eventually Diggs will not have doubles and he'll get to eat too.
I can totally see this being correct. I'm not even sure calling him a mild deva is accurate but even if he is I could care less. He is passionate about winning and I LOVE that. The 90's Bills were called the "Bickering Bills" because they were all called deva's, but they were passionate about winning and they went to 4 Super Bowls. They lost them of course but some of that was because they partied to much and came up unprepared. I don't see that happeing to this team if they are fortunate enough to get there to.

Josh looked like he was having fun. That alone is a huge improvement. This team is better when Josh is relaxed
Josh's sideline demener was my biggest notable in yesterday's game. In previous weeks while on the sideline he just sat on the bench with his head down looking dejected and miserable. That was definitely not the case yesterday. My take on that is that Dorsey was hog tieing him something fierce trying to force him to be strictly a pocket passer and it restricted is emotional state during the games. Where as (imo) Brady probably said stick to the game plan but improvise and use your legs when you feel the time is right or the opportunity presents itself.

My concern is that they get don’t get Diggs more involved going forward. Dude had 4 targets in the first 2 drives; 3 drops 😬 and then 2 more in garbage time… As the game wore on from the 1st quarter, dude seriously looked disinterested and checked out. Always lifting his hands in the air like “wtf” with some calls.
I’m not talking about forcing him the ball so many times like they have been in the past, just get him involved as it might be a potential problem going forward if it’s continued as he’s an emotional player (nothing wrong with that).
Have the Diggs rumors in the past been blown out of proportion? Most likely but there has to be even a speck of truth to these things…
Dude is our best assets aside from a competent run game in Josh’s success. Don’t care about “keeping him happy” would just like to keep him squarely involved and not where he feels he’s an afterthought.
The Diggs story has been blown way out of proportion in my opinon, but who knows. Defenses have been scheming to take Diggs out of the game. Most defenses can't do that effectively because Diggs is that good. The Jets defense is good enough to do that and Brady knew that. My guess is that he let them do that and schemed the offense around that, adding wrinkles to plays to put other players in better positions to make plays instead of Diggs. It was effective, and future defenses will need to take that into account in the coming weeks. Hopefully it will free up Diggs for some bigger plays. Time will tell.
For sure next week will be a huge test to this team. But, if they can pull out a win heading into the bye week, i think the rest of the season is wide open for the taking.

Even if for some reason the team imploded through the remainder of this year, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIRE MCDERMOTT, so just get that out of your head. In his tenure, we have only missed the playoffs once. The offence has struggled yes, but that issue at least temporarily has been fixed by fireing Dorsey. Brady is getting his shot to see what he can do. If he stumbles, they will find a new OC with experience running an offence. Then add on the fact that the defense has been stricen with injuries to major contributors causing a significant dropoff in the defense in points allowed, rushing yards allowed, interceptions forced fumbles ETC.... regardless of what happens the rest of this year, he will get a pass to see how things pan out next year after some regrouping and getting back to full health.

That's because we hate people. 😆
In my situation, it's more related to building renovations that happen on a fairly regular basis, say a few rooms per year, and all of the infrastructure, designed and budget are determined before we catch wind of the project from hearsay and have to contact the project manager to ask them if we need to be involved for any IT specs/installations of equipment.
This usually ends up putting the project behind by a few weeks when they have been planning things months prior.
Agreed! For the most part we do hate people. Mostly because they never listen, break crap and then deny breaking it, and in general think that we don't do anything but sit at a desk and watch lights blink and type on a keyboard. I just look at them as the people that keep us IT folk employeed.
I think most IT people are in the same boat when it comes to corporate projects. We are always the last to know and sometimes aren't told until the company has spend hundreds of thousdands if not millions of dollars for software and then they just expect us to set it up without knowing project requirements, target goals, or even specs for running said software. We are basically the Maytag repair man. Invisible until something breaks.

Easy. Make Kingcaid the first read on every pass play. Followed by Diggs, Cook then Shakir. We’d win the Super Bowl as long as 17 stays healthy.
So... your brilliant idea is to go in that order for every passing play regardless of the read on the defense. Holy crap! Why didn't Ken Dorsey think of that one for his highly efficient unpredictable offense? 🙄

There's no way Taron didn't interfere with Waller on that last pass. Had his back turned to the QB the whole time and hooked his left arm to prevent making the catch
Doesn't matter, he didn't hook his arm in until the ball arrived to prevent Waller from getting the other arm up, plus as the ball arrived Taron took his other arm and knocked the ball free. It was a totally clean play.

as @CSBill said, do yourself a huge favor and don't bother. Spare yourself the frustration of watching what was clearly an attempt by the NFL to sabatobe the Bills season and be satisfied that despite the NFL and the Refs, they came out with the W.

I am old enough, and Jim McMahon was, even for the 80’s, an average to below average QB.. they won and told him just to not to mess it up.. mind you his ego was huge!!
I'm not disagreeing with you at all. But that is not what the commenter that I was replying to was talking about. He said that the Bears have never known what to do with a QB in their entire history. Ditka knew exactly what to do with Jim McMahon with all of his limitations and "failings" as a QB. He turned him into a game managers, never asking him to do to much. And when he went off scripts, he chewed his a$$ to keep him in line. And it worked.

Fields is pretty decent. He can definitely be a Jalen Hurts type in the right offense. Chicago wouldn't know what to do with a QB if they had one (which they never did in the entire history, wild)
Wait... what? You cannot be serious! You have to be under the age of 35 because if you weren't, you would have heard of the 1985 Bears. Yes their d was what got them the Superbowl, but Ditka was not stupid. Probably a top 25 all time coach and he knew exactly what do do with Jim McMahon (their QB seeing as you are probably to young to know that).

So you’re suggesting if Rodgers had played the Jets defense wouldn’t have given up 30 points and 400+ yds of offense?
To be fair, there is no way to know if the Jets defense could have performed better if the Jets offense got more field time to rest the defense. One would assume (and maybe incorrectly) that had Rodgers played, the offense would have performed better and the defense would have had more time on the sidelines to rest.

Fans, players and his own coaches bashing him is not a good look. You are going to drive him out of town. He is the best QB we ever had imo, definitely since Jim Kelly. I blame the coaches, we need an offensive minded head coach. Imagine if Kyle Shannan had Josh Allen, we need a guy like that. That’s the only way we will finally get that Super Bowl, defense doesn’t win championships anymore. McDermott has to go!
It was a terrible loss for which he was responsible for. Her turned the ball over 4 times. You are going to take some tough criticism when that happens. If you're not a fan of hearing criticism about the team or specific players.... might i suggest investing in some ear plugs.
The good news is, he bounced back and is picking up where he left off last season. He needs to continue to do what he did yesterday and take what the defense gives him, be smart with the football and not play hero ball like he tried to in week one.

If so, please merge. Rodgers was out of the game, Wilson no threat, and they seemed to run effectively. Why?
Because it's Breece "Freaking" Hall and Delvin Cook. Delvin Cook is one if the best RB's in Football and Breece is arguably THE best RB is football. When Breece played last year before getting hurt, EVERYONE has trouble stopping him. He is an Elite back with incredible field vision, he is extremely fast, and extremely shifty. That's why! SMFH!
Posts like these are just another way of saying I don't know jack about football without saying I don't know jack about football. 🤦♂️

When Berman retires or call it quits, we’re gonna see Kyle Brandt take his place and I’m here for it.
ALL ABOARD THE WAGON
Berman is 68 and still going strong. I don't see him retiring any time soon. I for one am glad for it. Kyle Brandt is fun to watch with all his excitement and energy, but he's not a true Bills fan. He's just a late to the rodeo wagon rider.

Honestly, KC losing is just icing on the cake after douche bag Nick Wright showed off his tattoo. I don't care what team he loves\supports, I can't stand his on air personality. It's so cringy. I miss the days of objective analysis. Something you seem to only get from the "old timers" now a days.
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!!
