Maybe we can get lucky and the Broncos and Raiders will just kill each other. Two less teams to worry about for the wild card. ++??
I like the sentiment, but we hold the tie-breaker over both and we may need the Raiders to beat the Chargers.

So what happens to all those hornets when he takes away their home?

Anchovy pulling his music off the radio seems like a public service to me. Another reason to be thankful.

Cranberry sauce in a can. I hate when folks try to make it fancy like. Open the can and plop that floppy cylinder of deliciousness on a plate. Love it.
I secretly plot to get the end slice with the indentation mold from the can each year...and by secretly plot I mean I grab it first.
When I got up Wednesday morning wifey was already making her homemade cranberry sauce. I've tried it, it's OK, maybe I'd like it more if I didn't grow up with the other.
Regardless, wifey will be serving homemade along with cranberry sauce in a can. For this I give thanks.

i'm thankful anytime i walk by a mirror.
For me it starts with waking up on the right side of the dirt.
After that it's having a great family and circle of friends who for the most part are doing well but are there for each other when needed.
And that extends to this board. Very cool to see the board rally when others are suffering (i.e .- depression, addiction and mother nature to name a few)
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

56 is disqualified if you bought a Lawrence Taylor jersey thinking it was a Bills one
I had Bledsoe jerseys for me and the boys...which nearly morphed into Roscoe Parrish. Would've included 11 if I remembered RJ, must be a lot of 11's out there.

Buy Kyle Williams' number. Everyone else is as transient as a migrant farmworker
Fred Jackson was a recent hand me down to my youngest and I was explaining to him why the jersey was still legit (unlike previous ones like #99, #13,...)

I wanna see the guy with a Leon Seals! jersey!
96?
In hindsight, one that I missed was Taken Spikes #51

This thread was inspired by Virgil's closet, Yolo's Peterman Bingo thread and trying to figure out which Bills jersey to buy my son for Christmas. The #99 jersey just went out of style, decided to go the safe route and went with #12.
Check your closet and memory. Can you hit Bingo with Bills jerseys you've purchased?
For the record, I couldn't but I left off a few numbers from my purchase history in favor of numbers i thought might have been more popular.

Would you uproar if on Sunday Night you are heralded as the starter, again Monday night and Tuesday ? then Wednesday - ahhh - not so much ?
Effed up leadership - sending messages of fear for your starting job - intended or not - only reason there's no uproar.
You lost me. TT lost his job from Sunday night to Wednesday. I was referring to lack of uproar from everyone else on the team. Maybe the locker room is OK with the switch.
Fear of losing your job (starting or otherwise) is endemic to the NFL. If that's bad leadership then a lot of teams have problems.

It was a tough call to make a switch to a rookie qb with no experience in the midst of a playoff run during an almost 2 decade long playoff drought. Eager to see how he deals with bosa and Hayward. This d is solid. Kudos to McD for pulling the trigger. Whether or not it was the best move to make the playoffs is TBD. ??
EDIT: misread NewEra's reference to the Chargers D, thought he meant ours
Agreed with everything e
xcept for the unbolded which I'm not sure about. Our run D has been shredded to the tune of around 500 yards in 2 games since 99 problems was jettisoned. Is that a coincidence? Maybe. Hopefully.The current staff has made a number of bold moves. The timing of this one was surprising to me since (as NewEra mentioned) we're in playoff position and personally I'd give Tyrod a pass on the Jets game.
Overall I like the decisiveness of the current regime, I'll have to wait to judge their effectiveness.
Back to OP's question. Was this a good or bad move? I'm a wait and see guy, but unless I missed it there hasn't been a major uproar from the players which may be telling. So I'll go with good move until proven otherwise.

All i'm saying is that the clear vision is looking a little muddy right now..........from a fan perspective.
I think their vision involves decisions they know will be unpopular with large portions of the fan base and so they are not willing to outline what the vision/plan is. Which is frustrating when we get blind-sided by moves like the Watkins trade. As fans we're left looking at individual moves and trying to figure how they fit into the vision/plan that we aren't privy to.

Year 1) We need to draft the best right guard, best right tackle and best MLB next year with our two 1st rounders and second rounder.
How in the world is Mike Trout part of your plan?

Not a TBD name but how about "Icy McIceFace". And if that doesn't work just go with Attenborough.

That was slamming! Always liked that song, can't remember last time I heard it.
Love when a cover can be true to the original and breathe new life into it at the same time.

I don't believe for a second that the fix is in, but a blocked PAT at 22-16 with a 5 1/2 point spread would be pretty suspicious to the conspiracy crowd.

Around 1994 or so, my company sent me to work down in the DC area for the better part of a year. Met and worked with a guy that was from N.O. and a huge Saints fan going back to the Archie days. I haven't seen him since but we've stayed in contact through email mostly in season and around the draft. His thoughts on Sunday:
Saints D is for real.Our running game is impressive.Our passing game can be explosive.Brees is playing smart ball.Our special teams are scoring their own points.Your Bills are gonna kill us. If you can play their QB this week in fantasy you will get monster points. We are due for a collapse. Woe is us. I think I'll eat some worms. -
Saints have won 6 straight. Due for a loss. And we're just the guys to do it.

Scheme and talent go hand in hand. In a perfect world you have both great scheme and talent. Most teams don't.
It's an interesting point that a new coaches scheme may get figured out after some initial success, but in the end any good coach will need to adjust scheme in-game and in-season and to a lesser extent off-season. I hope we found that coach. Off-season is the time to improve the talent to fit the scheme (and/or tweak it).
IMO we made a rare significant in-season addition adding Benjamin. I'm optimistic that will keep this season on an upward trajectory.
Go Bills!

I think its more of a factor for established players later in their careers. Lechler (yeah I know, a punter) did it after years with Oakland and Marshawn did it coming back to his home town after semi-retirement.
I think a player coming off his rookie contract is looking for the dollars first and home town second.
