Come as you are, as you were As I want you to be As a friend, as a friend As a known enemy

I think its a smart move that some coaches actually try to get their players to buy into IMO. In more of a finesse O I think it makes sense to reduce the amount of hits a player takes at the WR position IMO. I think its something you are more likely to see from a play it smart kinda team/players. Pats come to mind...

Or just standing up to them worked for me. After giving up my lunch money so long I said enough is enough Kid needs to eat...

I think part of the problem is every time Buffalo starts entering into the conversation with some of the better teams in the league. The Bills suffer a set back. I do think the overall league perception of the Bills is starting to change more now as Allen continues to develop into a franchise QB IMO. Elite play from the QB position is impossible to ignore.

I just explained some of the history that is not on your side. With all due respect to you and the doc...

So how does this change history? R W gets zero credit for the Bills dynasty? How does an owner get credit?

You can't speak for R W regardless of the caps.

You know what R W's biggest problem was and I can sum it up in nutshell. Russ Brandon...

For building a dynasty that carried the smaller market city of Buffalo to 4 straight Superbowls? Awww come on man...

What was so special about McD that suggests R W couldn't have made the same hire? It was another gamble on Buffalo's part hiring a coach with zero head coaching experience IMO. Don't get me wrong, I'm very thankful for the Pegula's. I'm just not less thankful for R W...

Clearly nothing about McD or Beane jumping out at you that suggests Ralph Wilson couldn't have made the same hire IMO I mean I'm sure its a much different story now with their success in Buffalo. I remember a time when Ralph was real close to coaxing Bill Cowher out of retirement. Its not like R W didn't try...

They beat the Titans and Ravens in back to back games recently. Pittsburgh flys under the radar until you play them...

A long, long time agoI can still remember how that music used to make me smileAnd I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people danceAnd maybe they'd be happy for a while

Another positive sign that goes beyond the stats is the love and brotherhood building in the Bills locker room. The Bills played inspired football on Sunday vs the Seahawks. I think it might be safe to say the team played for Josh more then anything. and man did they play...

The Bills 3rd quarter woes have been well documented. Half time adjustments or lack there of is an area the Buffalo Bills need to improve IMO. I think what might be happening on O is a good 1st half begs for more of the same until the opposition stops it. Opposition makes halftime adjustsments on D, the Bills are hindered by the adjustments and counter attack. Normally the 3rd quarter ends up being less productive in the process. My remedy would be to have a more scripted 3rd quarter start that is different then the overall game plan. A heavy dose of run if the passing game was succesful in the 1st half by way of example. On D the solution is obvious IMO. McD's expertise is a must when it comes to halftime or on the fly adjustments. I like Leslie Frazier and I think he's a good coach. From an innovative standpoint though McD's expertise needs to utilized to its fullest potential in my humble opinion. I think there's a fine line between allowing your coaches to coach without stepping on their toes while maintaining enough control to make game management adjustments. The New England Patriots are always a well coached team and it starts at the top. B B is sprinkled into everything IMO. Myself personally, I'm a big fan of disguising ones intentions. Keeping the opposition on its toes and 2nd guessing. Its what this team is built for and fully capable of doing on both sides of the football IMO. (On a side note: it would be interesting to see how the coin toss to start the game relates to the 3rd quarter for teams. Buffalo seems to be losing the coin toss more often then not.)

Fan of Tua and I agree, ( I'm fighting it ) Not one person in the league I would prefer more over Allen. Good competition makes the games more enjoyable IMO. It makes each team in the Division better IMO.

Josh Allen is a very intelligent QB with a HC constantly preaching play smart football. Its a winning combination when it comes to game management IMO.

Daboll really starting to shine IMO.

The Klein take away sealed the deal for me also. Throughout the game the play of Edmunds seemed in sharp contrast to how he has played in recent weeks. The D following his lead. Pure speculation on my part. It would not surprise me If McD had more involvement in the game planning of the Seahawks then he has earlier on in the season. Resulting in better schemes for Edmunds and the Bills D to execute. Again, speculation, but something changed IMO.

Can someone please stamp Josh Allens career completion percentage onto Terry Bradshaws forehead so he's reminded every time he looks in the mirror. Awwww come on man!

All athletes benefit from superior talent / coaching and with Tua displaying the same confidence and comfort level in a Chan Gailey NFL Offense as I've seen Tua play with under Saban in just 2 games speaks volumes IMO. There is a contest and we get to see these guys compete on the biggest stage football has to offer.

I enjoy the variation in writing styles. Virgils thoughts normally tend to bend more toward how the game is perceived from the eyes of the fan real time. The review tends to bend more towards the bigger picture. A more worldly look. Articulate and factual. Both writing styles entertaining in their own way IMO. I know both of you are also more accustomed to giving in person stadium accounts and I look forward to the time we can all enjoy them together again. Thanks fellas

It was a game of many great performers with Edmunds near the top of the list for me. Nice review OP

I haven't seen much eating of the crow...

The same way Dan Marino made Jim Kelly and the Buffalo Bills better, I agree Tua fish sandwiches twice a year...
