Uuuuuuuh... NO! I was there! The Bills won the opening coin toss — no surprise on this day — and they proceeded to run their no-huddle offense to perfection. They had the Raiders gasping so badly for air that after Buffalo had advanced 55 yards in five lightning-quick plays, the Raiders called timeout to regroup and catch their collective breath. "That was the greatest feeling that I've ever had in a game other than putting points on the board," center Kent Said Kelly: "I remember (Raiders defensive lineman) Howie Long telling me on that drive, 'Come on, Jim, slow down.' " Kelly never did. Four plays after the timeout, Kelly dropped a shotgun snap, but was still able to scoop it up, escape danger, and throw a 13-yard touchdown pass to James Lofton and you knew something was up. The rout was on.

Gameday! Bills vs Dolphins PreGame Thread
Billsatlastin2018 replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yep. But, since they average ONE Offensive TD per half- don’t count on it! -
Anyone else think Bills will dominate on Sunday?

The Bills can’t & won’t dominate anyone this Season. The O simply can’t score enough points! -
As a Canuck, I’m used to the travesty of NHL Penalties for much, much more violent assault than that! Buuuuuuut, Roger is perceived as an out of his depth cream puff, who takes ALL barrels now, whatever he does! Could indeed be longer, because of that. Other fines & suspensions as well (Pouncey). And then, there’s this: Freddie Kitchens on ESPN:"Do you think the team's out of control?""No. I think people get helmet-to-helmet contacts every week." ???? Kitchens should be turfed because he’s a clueless, incompetent buffoon- with NO control over the Clowns!

At the time of the Kap debacle, he was easily the Stsrting QB equivalent on a dozen teams. Does he still have the talent to be a Backup on crap teams like the Bungles, Jets, Broncos, Skins, Bears, etc after 3 years of rust? Possibly.

NO. Why would anyone? The Bills Offence behind Allen and run by Daboll scores ONE TD per half! ONE! And I’m getting old here, waiting for the turnaround process to work. Perhaps, my memory is slipping, were the Bills kicking arse against the Fish going into the 4th. Quarter at Home? ? -
I would say that ANYONE questioning the QB skills of ANY Bills QB this millennium is not even being sharp.They just have their eyes open and have been proven correct- EVERY time! The meter is running down on Allen. He has the rest of this Season and perhaps half of the next, to improve his Passing accuracy & vision of the field.

CBA Update - Plus, what changes would you make?
Billsatlastin2018 replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Eliminate playing your division teams twice. Play a second conference series. Playoff seeding based solely off record Eliminate franchise Tag Modify Transition Tag - If home team matches, the contract only counts 80% against their cap. (ie 100 mil deal only counts as 80 mil). Get's 2nd round compensation if they don't match Cut players get 50% of dead money from deal Deals, including rookie deals, can't be re-worked until the last last year of contract, unless certain incentives are met. Eliminate Thursday Night Games (I personally like them, but players seem to hate them) Ref grading system. They can be either fined or removed from future games. ALL existing Refs need to be sacked & replaced by Division 1 players who don’t make the NFL & have significant Wonderlic Scores. Weekly grading. In addition, HD cameras everywhere to determine In Bounds & Touching the Turf wrangling. Teams keep challenges that are won Move Kickoff back to 30 yard line or remove kickoffs altogether. Remove KOs. There is no use anymore. Holding becomes a 5 yard penalty Illegal contact no longer an automatic first down Offsetting fouls including personal fouls, not offset. Personal foul trumps Overtime is a full 15 minutes. With the TD requirement, some ties came after only two possessions for each team Remove the blackout policy End the priority deals with EA and DirecTv I agree with everything else- some much more strongly than others! Great job! ? -
‘CULTURE’ is actually a yuuuuuge factor in NFL success, let alone life. Everyone should listen weekly to the Lombardi podcasts, a modern day genius on nailing aspects of various NFL orgs and a pretty decent prognosticator ATS (26-13-2) . They are very, very funny as well! He has worked for a couple of legends of the game and is friends with Billy B. The ‘Culture’ excerpt from his book:’ Gridiron Genius’. CULTURE COMES FIRST. You can have the best game plan (or strategy or tactics) , the best team (or product or service) and the best players (or engineers or salespeople) and you may achieve short term success. But if you haven’t created an underlying ecosystem of excellence, short term success is all that it will be. Lombardi’s other critical points: PRESS EVERY EDGE ALL THE TIME, BECAUSE ANY EDGE MAY MATTER ANYTIME SYSTEM OVER STARS LEADERSHIP IS A LONGTERM PROPOSITION YOU’RE NEVER DONE GETTING BETTER (Of Course, whether any of these bullets reside at OBD- is the ONLY question!)

Pre Season? NO misses, thus far. WK1 @ Jets. WIN (1-0) WK2 @ Giants WIN (2-0) WK3 Bengals WIN (3-0) WK4 Patriots LOSS (3-1) WK5 @ Titans WIN (4-1) WK6 BYE (4-1) WK7 Dolphins WIN (5-1) WK8 Eagles LOSS (5-2) WK9 Redskins WIN (6-2) WK10 @ Browns LOSS (6-3) WK11 @ Dolphins WIN (7-3) WK12 Broncos WIN (8-3) WK13 @ Cowboys LOSS (8-4) WK14 Ravens WIN (9-4) WK15 @ Steelers LOSS (9-5) WK16 @ Patriots LOSS (9-6) WK17 Jets WIN (10-6) I am now sceptical of beating the Ravens- obviously. After that horrible loss last week, likely to be 9-7 & possibly miss the Playoffs.

I’m assuming this is a real question. This is the answer. Football can be bet multiple ways (in legal betting bricks and mortar places + on line) through a myriad of options. The two most common are Point Spread OR Money Line. In this scenario, IF you bet the Bills -6.5 on the Point Spread, you need to put up $110 to win $100! For you to cash, the Bills must win by 7. The extra $10 (10%) is the charge (juice, vig) for making the bet. NOBODY does this out of the goodness of their hearts! It’s a biz. OR, you bet the Money Line. In my own example at the Bills being favoured by 6, you need to put up $260 to win $100! (I don’t ever do that- some do) Conversely, if you want the Fish, you get the +6.5, but it still costs you $110. OR, you take the Fish on the M.L. for $100 and can win...$215 (with my line) That’s your 100 + 215= $315. Capiche?

This game is not a MUST win situation, in the event you think the Bills are gonna make the Playoffs! THAT was last week, because 9-7 won’t cut it and there are too many deficiencies at: the OC position, the eedgit Kicker, Josh Allen’s painfully slow, 1 TD per Half, Offensive production to believe that Bills are going to steal one at Home v.s. Top 4 Ravens or Away on Thanksgiving in D or @ Dallas. However, Losing to the Fish would simply be embarrassing.
