  1. We were probably due for another high end draft pick on a DB even before this injury. Id be shocked if one of the first two picks in 2024 isn't a DB.

     

    Really torn up watching Tre deal with the emotions of realizing he's right back in the thick of it with all of the rehabbing day in and day out. After just getting through it all and thinking it's behind him. Similar feelings with Chubb sustaining the same sort of injury again to his knee. Hate to see it

    You are not out of line for noticing this. The quality of all mainstream content that is on before the game, at halftime, and after the game has never been worse. The standards for what is professional or acceptable for mass consumption has degraded to the point of being unlistenable if not embarrassing or uncomfortable. You shouldn't have to put it on mute or go listen to a podcast

    Idk how…they have barely threaded the needle on dangerous throws on a few occasions…we haven’t had to work very hard at all 

    Because our run balanced strategy is going to produce more 3rd downs and we are getting less in chunks. Also defensive fatigue benefits their speed more

  4. I honestly think they performed admirably all three games. Josh didn't seem comfortable behind them in the Jets game and didn't step around well in the pocket. He made them look worse than they were and moved into pressures multiple times.

     

    Him trusting the pocket to hold is a part of the process alongside their actual performance in protection. He seems to get progressively more comfortable having an actual offensive line in front of him.

  5. Music piracy has been reduced substantially by providing viable services at prices that people will pay for to have convenient access. Obviously this isn't the case for the NFL, who have consumer unfriendly offerings at prices beyond what most are willing to pay.

     

    The technology for stream sharing exists, it's accessible, but it's less convenient than a paid option. Clearly a large group of potential customer base would rather deal with that then pay $400+ for an incomplete service. The solution to capturing this revenue seems obvious enough.

    Nice crusade... the "suite" was free so he shouldn't complain.

     

    I've worked in a few different industries but never in one where you place a guest of honor in bush league accommodations.

     

    Did they put him up at the Motel 6?

     

    Well it was free so he shouldn't complain.

     

    Got it.

     

     

    I mean when someone admittedly struggles to afford a seat in the 300 level and can't see anything past the thick cloud of envy surrounding them, they'd probably feel like the legend of the game with a 50% off coupon to Golden Corral.

    You are full of sh!t. With due respect , of course.

     

    Oh … can you pass the grey poupon?

    Who do you think actually buys all of the suites at major league sporting venues?  It's all business entertainment paid for by corporations and the people sitting in them don't pay a dime for anything. Sorry not everybody works at Arby's with you and gets upset when anybody else has standards commensurate with the situation in question.

    Do you get that suite all expenses paid?

     

    Yes … someone screwed up by giving him an obstructed view. 
     

    An obstructed view to the Bills home opener that he paid exactly $0.00 for. 
     

    Pointing it out to the right people would have been appropriate. 
     

    Pointing it out via social media is a dick move. 

    Yes, all expenses paid including transportation to and from, food and drinks, etc.

     

    I don't think the money even comes into play here in the slightest. He's a former pro bowl caliber NFL player from the modern Era, some free drinks and cafeteria quality food isn't even moving the needle when you live that lifestyle. It's a respect thing, and they used him for promotional gameday entertainment on the field and then gave him THAT view? Big insult. I'm sure when they are giving free stuff to the politicial families they need hundreds of millions of dollars of funding from, they wouldn't make that mistake.

     

    I can't imagine taking an everyday business client to that suite with a straight face,  let alone your legend of the game NFL football player

    This is very cool and I’m sure Spikes is a good dude. 
     

    I still have my Spikes jersey hanging in the closet (it’s from that Bledsoe era of the ugliest Bills jerseys ever, so it’ll stay on the hanger). 
     

    Loved him during his tenure with the Bills. 
     

    But him b!tching about a free EVERYTHING at a Bills game - in which he was honored - is a bad look. 
     

    He was gifted an experience that most of us would have to deplete a significant chunk of our life savings to get … and he complained. 
     

    Wah. 

    I get a better suite seat as a run of the mill office worker who nobody has ever heard of.  Meanwhile he was specifically Invited as a legend of the game, and he was a tremendous player for Buffalo during a not so great patch of their history.

     

    He's not a lifelong Bills fan,  and he's not poor enough to just be happy to be there.  It's insulting and unprofessional by whoever is making those decisions for the stadium. I have no issue with him pointing it out

    It’s about being a great host. You don’t do this to your guest of honor. They should be in or near the owner’s suite every week. 
     

    THIS is the stuff that people remember. You ever go to a nice restaurant and the forks are dirty or they sit you next to the kitchen? You have higher standards. 
     

    If Spikes posted this, I’m willing to bet this wasn’t the only clown thing that happened. 
     

    Just completely classless by the Pegulas. This is the stuff that is a true reflection of who they are as people. 

    It's a bad look and bad execution but I doubt the Pegulas were involved in this level of daily stadium operations stuff.

    Agreed, 100%. With a coach like Reid, or Sean Payton, Allen would win multiple super bowls over his career. Without a doubt he is talented enough, but he has to do it ALL on his own.

     

    But Pegula won't fire McDermott because he's a "strong Christian man" which is what he wrote in the statement explaining his contract extension. It seems his Christianity is the reason he'll be here forever. 

    Pegula is a seemingly decent but soft corporate type with a lot of money. This team needs a well established football executive who can hire their own coach and make all decisions with minimal ownership input. Otherwise you end up with Rex Ryan.

    I hate to sound like a Troy Aikman, but a well-coached 16 year old would throw his body forward when there were obvious running plays by the Jets at those points in the game. 
     

    He’s tiny, and doesn’t look super fast. He looks like a practice squad second team bait player to replicate a bad or hurt MLB for the Bills offense to plan against. 
     

    Again, as one of two Linebackers on the field, he’s out of his element. 
     

    Side note: if the Bills screw up what will be a Matt Milano Defensive Player of the Year campaign… that’d just be perfect. 

    Imagine if this team lost Milano to injury.

    Gave them the game?? Our defense earned this win, plain and simple.

    If Josh Allen keeps his eyes on the snap for the fumble play, there's a good chance the Bills win despite everything else. Not because your defense wasn't otherworldly, but only because you didn't have an offense. It took self-inflicted wounds to lose that one. With a competent QB, a very different story. It wouldn't have been close.

    The bailing clean pockets happened in that game too. I was thinking hopefully just pre-season he is taking zero risks of being hit.... but the same happened tonight. 

     

    Hopefully he can adapt to having a pocket again. He went a year without having one and now he doesn't seem to know what to do with it.

    There were several times where Allen freaked out and bailed on a clean pocket for absolutely no reason. 

     

    Thought the line actually held up reasonably well considering the d they were up against. 

    Perhaps he developed some bad habits behind that combination last year of a horrible o-line and playcalling that ignored the fact that it was a major weakness. He doesn't look comfortable back there and it's not because of the line's play today.
