I worked with Gallo on a project in the mid 90s. He's not trying hard to get the weird vibe, he really is that weird. Oddest person I've ever met. I liked Buffalo 66, tho. And if you've never seen his great performance in Arizona Dreams, seek it out. He plays a wannabe actor who performs a scene from North By Northwest - the crop dusting scene. So he's playing Cary Grant running from the bi-plane - on stage. With no dialog. It's freakin' hilarious.

Well then, we certainly need him for football talk.

Ah. I am so glad I've never had a "real" job in an office.

You cant be this stupid. You’d forget to breath.

What the heck is a “Lean Six Sigma Master Black?” ?

Pretty interesting, thanks

Analytics-based approach paying off in professional sports Another interesting article about analytics. And no, it's not "moneyball." Here are some notable highlights: No NFL teams were considered to be “All in.” In all four major sports combined, only one team that was not ranked “All in” or “Believers” have won a Championship (only one of twelve). The sole exception was in the NFL, when the Denver Broncos (“Skeptics”) won the Super Bowl in the 2015-2016 season. Winning percentages between “All in/Believers” were contrasted to the percentages for “Nonbelievers.” The largest disparity between these groups was in the NBA. The NFL had the smallest degree of difference between “All in/Believers” and “Nonbelievers.”

Yet another article agreeing with me about the Colts punt. Sean McDermott tried to punt away the Buffalo Bills’ season against Indianapolis Colts The odds are very clear on this; it’s easier to gain two yards than it is to punt, hold your opponent to no first downs, field your own punt, and move back into scoring position all with limited time on the clock. Buffalo hadn’t made it past midfield with Webb at quarterback, so this was their best shot in two quarters of play. And to top it off, Buffalo used one of their timeouts before the punt making stopping the clock even more challenging. McDermott made the wrong decision. He punted. i hope he gets better at this this, because until we have a coach that understands basic game time decisions like this, we will have to get lucky - again - to make the playoffs.

Lol you guys are hilarious. I’m not being negative, simple posting a link and hoping McD does more than clap his hands a lot. I want a coach with balls who knows the math - or at least, listens to someone who knows the math. Its great the Bills made the playoffs, yes, and I’m encouraged with what they have been doing this offseason, and I’m even excited about Allen now. But pointing to how the Eagles were successful last year - with a back up at QB - shows that analytics are at least something to think about. Running the ball and relying on a good defense will not cut it anymore, unless you’re the Broncos of a few years ago or the 85 Bears. I’m excited to see what Dabol brings to the table...but I want innovation, not 1990s strategy. Yeah, Nick Foles is one helluva franchise QB.

https://billswire.usatoday.com/2018/06/19/buffalo-bills-analytics-luis-guilamo-brandon-beane/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Great article on how the Bills FO and coaching are still behind the times when it comes to analytics and in-game decision-making aggressiveness. Can you imagine McD going for it in 4th down like Pederson did in the Super Bowl? I cant. Until the Bills have a modern approach to the game, they will always be also-rans. Here’s hoping our new analytics guy will actually do something this year besides figure out the best ticket pricing for the stadium.

Report: Baker Mayfield not ready to compete with Tyrod Taylor Interesting...

How exactly is this "turning to crime to survive?" The charges include two counts of forcible rape, one count of forcible sodomy, one count of forcible oral copulation, two counts of kidnapping with the intent to commit rape, and indecent exposure.

"Who's the QB This Year?"

Who? Never heard of him.

LOL at the players getting paid a lot...they don't get paid near enough for the risks they take and how shot their careers are. I'd like to see football players get paid the same as baseball and basketball players. Maybe more.

It's like "jumbo shrimp."

I'd much rather have Tyrod than AJ, that's for sure. But without trading Tyrod, we wouldn't have Edmunds....so I think we made out well with that one.

I agree, but mostly because Chris Evert was one of the toughest, most mentally tough athletes of the 20th century. Jim Everett should’ve taken it as a compliment. Rome is an ass either way.

Look at the footwork! Great kid, and hope he doesn't suffer from a sophomore slump.

He needs to look at what Doug Pederson did in the Super Bowl and grow some balls. Seriously, if the Bills didn't miraculously win that Colts game after McD punted with 4 minutes left in OT, I'd still be calling for his head. A lot of you would be, too.

I really feel like reporting this thread

So a football player who has disappointed so far wants to be better? Stop the presses. what else is he going to say? “Yeah, I’m just going to coast this year, get paid, and hopefully get a sack or two.”

Idiots usually don’t.

Call me crazy, but I start the guy who wins the job. Don’t care which teams are on the schedule. You can’t predict who is going to be good and who isn’t - look at the teams we beat last year. Start the kid if he’s the best QB in camp. As Allen says, iron sharpens iron.
