  1. I know it's hard to drill out instinct and the want to make a play....but the decision to throw that (non) pick was a real facepalm moment. You CAN'T throw that ball, just about everything was wrong with that situation. That decision really bothers me.

     

    I can stand the bland boring 'gameplan' and fluke picks off Beasley's hands. Whatever. It's preseason.

  2. I have a fever dream where our Ed and the D line wrecks their re-worked O-line, basically exposing them from game one and showing every team they should just roll over that line, leading to a long season for the Jets and Darnold. We win and they spiral into out and out panic mode about their line after game one. Kind of a best case scenario dream I guess. Watch it go the exact opposite.

    My point is I don’t know why table smashing at a tailgate gets such a negative connotation. I can think of a lot worse cultural traditions that are admired. Running of the bulls comes to mind. How many injuries do we see on the 4th of July of dudes blowing off their fingers? If you wanna police the drunk people fighting and causing mayhem, go right ahead. But for the most part I don’t see the problem in taking part in something that’s become a tradition 

     

    Probably because like running with the bulls or holding a firecracker so long it blows up in your hand (often involving alcohol) jumping through a table is just a dumbass thing to do. I don't know that it being lesser by degree or comparison to another dumb thing makes a difference. It's just stupid*.

     

    *Said by a guy who did tons of stupid ***** when he was younger, and still occasionally does. But come on. Some stuff in the Bills lot is about what I would expect to see at an ICP wrestling event.

    Josh Allen in his rookie season ran for 200 more yards than TT has in any season (and 8 rushing TDs).

     

    A lot of teams adjusted to TT's mobility...

     

    And it didn't take long., and he wasn't that great to begin with. But I still think his mobility makes him the best short term spot starter, and I still think he is quite a change of pace from Josh, even though Josh is indeed mobile. 

     

     

     

     

     

  5. I think Tyrod would be a good back up as he is a major change of pace, both from what WE do and what most NFL qbs do. Yeah that is hard for our guys to adjust to as well but I tend to think it is harder on the other team.

     

    Now, that advantage, is there is one, lasts all of maybe two games. Once they prep for him....meh. But as an IN game replacement, like Josh hurts his hand Q1? I think it'd HAVE to be Tyrod.

     

    As a more than 2 game solution? Well at that point it doesn't really matter IMO. They'll all be exactly what they are. IMO only Tyrod has the kind fo game that throws anyone for a loop, albeit only temporarily.

  6. Yeah, I think it's fugly too.

     

    Shoot I buy NOS Bills hats on eBay. That used to make me feel better when I really didn't want to give Ralph any more dollars for a while, but I realized you can find some cool old Bills stuff on there, brand new.

  7. My only embarrassment, if it can be called that, having to do with Bills gear is how much I have of it. Do I need 7 Bills Starter jackets (listen, they are dirt cheap on ebay and I LOVED Starter as a kid) or that helmet phone I just bought for my desk? Nope.

     

    I'm in CT. I rock my Bills hat and jacket every day. Come at me Pat-bros. I've heard it all.

    If a player is on the market and doesn't want to play in Buffalo that's his prerogative. I'm not going to feel slighted about it. There is another side to this preference equation: That is the Bills aren't interested in a certain type of player and personality. If a player requires a more lively night life compared to what LA or NYC has to offer then he shouldn't come to Buffalo because it would be a bad fit. 

     

     

     

     

     

    I agree with this. I've often thought Miami gets a lot of guys who I think go there for nightlife first, football second.

     

    With Buffalo, you either came to play, or came for the money. Beaches and babes weren't a factor.

    Or you already have money and know that you can get another job in the league if you really want one. I dont think they are hurting for money and he was a well established coach/coordinator who has no trouble finding work of he wants it. Not all life choices are based off of money, especially when you arent hurting for it

    Was it Cowher who recommended him, and Jerry Jones who said previously that he wanted him as a HC before too?

    Believe so. I still remember what Troy Aikman said at the same time...he said the offense Chan ran for Dallas was prehistoric then, what would it be now (meaning 2010)?

     

    Troy, you ain't all wrong buddy.

    According to Graham, Buddy Nix went on record that he has 2 big name coaches close to being signed but “couldn’t convince their wives to move to Buffalo.”  While he wouldn’t give Tim any names, TH said that Shannon went on record that he almost coached in Buffalo and speculated that Shanny was one of the names Nix alludes to.  Instead, Buddy signed an unwheming candidate Of Chan Gailey and I remember being physically sick hearing this news.  

     

    In my opinion, this could have been Buddy trying to create the narrative of “I tried but no one would come to Buffalo.”  Also if you turn down multi-million job offers because of your wife’s preference of location (for part of the year), it makes me question how serious you were from

    they start.

     

     

    I would totally agree here.  I assume the other who Buddy says was "close" had to be Cowher, as wasn't he the one the recommended Gailey after saying no thanks?

     

    I doubt either was ever anywhere near actually coming here.
