It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... Charles Dickens. Seriously: I felt confident about the Eagles game last week and we got slaughtered. Lesson learned. I'm not letting this news of a scrub Redskins QB starting give me premonitions of 6-2.

Yeah he would. I read about his high school wrestling exploits. The National Prep School Champion was an animal.

No. Contrary, with some exceptions, the OL has done well in the physicality department. The DL isn't the most physical in the league but I don't attribute that to coach demeanor... I think the DL is lighter weight than average and geared for speed and technique rather than an in your face slugfest.

Yes. Terry and Kim conducted a wide survey. Many here participated. They haven't released the results yet. But the structure of the questions will provide the data you are looking for if it is ever released. I suspect we'll find people talk a good bluster when it comes to stadium quality and cost; but when the rubber hits the road and translates into higher ticket costs and/or PSLs.. people will back off. Before you know it, the Bills are playing at All High Stadium.

In one game we went from "How do we keep Leslie Frazier" and "How do we keep Daboll" to "How does McD survive the year" This place is funny.

Modern open air stadium, with some shelter, at the current Orchard Park site is option 1A. Realistic financially. True to roots. Option 1B is a dome at the current site in OP: acceptable. Is a stretch as to who is paying. A dome downtown = unacceptable. Unrealistic financially. Folly.

Aldi.. Aldi.. Aldi.. all day. I only go to Wegmans for those obscure ingredients that Aldi doesn't carry.

I'll backpedal on the 20 blowouts. I estimate 10 losses were spankings. The Bills had a string of blowouts last season alone. I consider the Eagles game a blowout. I'm guessing 10 career losses were fairly close.

20-19 regular season, plus 1 playoff loss. Like I said: 40 games into his career.

He's coached 40 games in his career. 20 were blowout losses. The dude needs a mentor.

The talking heads say a McDermott coached team will be prepared, regardless of circumstance or opponents. I'm just not buying it. To twist a phrase from High School Musical: they didn't have their head in the game. Who knows, it could be a bye week phenomena. But I suspect it's failure of the coaching staff to keep the players humbled and hungry after their recent successes. McD is now a .500 coach. But the losses are fugly and reflect poorly on team preparation.

I like the use of "an" in this situation.

Yep. Contrast our situation with that of the LA Rams and the King's ransom they paid for Jalen Ramsey. The Rams see themselves as elite and are obviously are trying to win now. Personally, I see the Bills in a better drivers seat.. winning now burns your future.

Depends on his contract. If written old school Daboll's rights can be traded. But the new school generic coaches contracts are written as personal services contacts to the owner and close the door on tradeability. Your mileage may vary.

Anger is done. Looking forward... I did my time in NOVA. I have family and friends who are Skins fans. Leslie Frazier has a week to figure out what he did wrong. See, no anger.

Is anyone's Fios on the fritz in the Buffalo area? My screen keeps blanking out.

Cool story. I like the Chick cliffhanger. I hope NKG visits again.

In a round about way the game has an impact on tie breakers. A loss Sunday could be the one game that drops you down into the end of season tie breaker regimen. A win Sunday could be the game that elevates you above the tie breaker puzzle. When there's only 16 games, they're all important. That's why I was very happy to leave the Meadowlands 2-0. It's not like NHL/MLB/NBA where you can take a game off without damage.

Mostly new WR, 5 new OL, All new TE, All new RB. It's OK to say they still aren't there, and be a true fan. I don't expect full offensive gel until mid-season. 5-1 right now? Thank you God.

I expected Rick James Super Freaky to play when I read this post. Gore is doing great. Kudos to those unsung heroes on the OL opening up Titanic size holes for him.

I have some concern regarding his deep ball accuracy. But he and Daboll will fix that, I'm confident.. maybe not in the next few games but certainly by the end of the season. Context: almost all new WR, new TE, new RB, almost all new OL ... it's by the Grace of God that we're 5-1. I'm happy.

When [eventually] talk comes up about the fifth year option, the Bills should just renegotiate the whole package and keep him a Bill for life.

The first drinks after a dry spell can hit you hard.. make you a raving lunatic. That's why sailors at port calls do some of the stupidest shite. I can neither confirm nor deny.

Do the Rams have any trade bait left after they got fleeced for what's his name Jalen Ramsey?

"UFA after the season" The dude is a 10 game rental, worth no more than seventh.. if that.
