    😂😂this guy out here saying he doesn't have the energy to hate on them but definitely has the energy to misrepresent in support

     

    I like to live dangerously. You find some rocks to kick yet? There was a big one out by the highway, someone said it might be a pumpkin tho. Careful out there, fella. Don't pull a Younghoe Koo and kick the turf, aim for the rockpumpkin. 

  2. I'll just be bummed out. I don't have the time or the energy to hate on the dude. Criticism is one thing but some people take it to a ridiculous level. 

     

    IMO, a lot is owed to both McDermott and Beane. Sure, they aren't without faults, but they deserve a lot of credit for the turnaround from basement dwellers to contenders. 

     

    I honestly don't see any major coaching or front office changes happening in the off-season regardless of what happens. But given that it's been a bit of a rough one personnel-wise maybe that gives Beane the itch to really try and wheel n deal with trades/free agency/the draft.

    I rewatched it a bunch of times in the moment to try and see what happened. Josh is on the ground on his back with his knees bent up and Heyward on top of him. It was tough to see with all of the bodies, but it did not appear to be a kick or anything, just Josh extending his legs to kind of push Heyward off of him...something that happens in tons of pile ups. Maybe Hayward felt Josh pushed a little too hard (Heyward was also being pulled off of Josh by Bills linemen at the time too), but it wasn't a dirty move, it was a "get off of me" moment that happens all the time. He just took offense to it as if Allen was trying to purposefully do something. I could not see anything egregious in any way, imo.

     

    Translation: I, Cam Heyward, am an overgrown toddler and was feeling very fussy from having my lunch handed to me by Dr. Prof. Josh Allen, PhD. Esq. Jr., so I decided to be a baby back bish about it. I sowwy.

  4. I think them shweet kickoff returns he's had added a spark to his confidence. He looked very decisive and was running with some authority. It's good to see, they need another offensive guy to step up and become someone defenses need to key on.

  5. May the day of the turkey bestow youse all with the strength of my biological stepdad, Jorsh Allen. 

     

    In Jorsh's name we pray, Al-len.

     

    Seriously tho I hope y'all are good, even ye ol' curmudgens whose opinions I regularly disagree with, even youse, guy who said he somehow missed the drought era. 

     

    Even youse, Brandon Beane, youse who kinda left your superstar QB out to dry because youse didn't wanna double back and realize, "eh, Keon is a nice kid but maybe we should draft one of these pass catchers this year just in case." I don't fault youse for everything, Dalton Kincaid has proven to be a very effective piece of the offense but it does appear he may be made of glass or like, an old balsa wood toy plane or something. 

     

    Even youse, Sean McDermott, youse just be credited with the huge role you've played in turning the team from a perennial loser to a perennial contender. I may be late to the party but unfortunately I must now question if youse is the man to deliver the elusive Lombardi to Buffalo. Maybe if youse hire some real coordinators this off-season. Sorry Joe and Bobbeh, I dunno if youse guys is the right fit. 

     

    One guy I'm not thanking tho is Terrence of the Training Camp, it was he who was responsible for proper placement of floor mats and thus responsible for robbing us of the immaculate greatness that would've been Kevin Kolb. Eff youse, Terrence!

     

    Alrighty everyone go eat turkey and then come back here for the big whiner fiesta that'll surely happen after the Cowboys blow a 21 point lead and let the stupid Chefs creep back into the game and steal it last minute. As is the way of the Chefs. May those red rat bastids be served the driest of turkeys, the blandest of potatoes, and the lamest of dinner music: all brought to them by Travis's equally lame and disingenuous girlfriend Tammy Swamp, or whatever the heck her stupid name is. 

     

    Go Bills.

    Anyone know where Terry's yacht is? That team looked like they had a Jim Kelly sized hangover.  

     

    It's all hearsay but I've encountered someone with ties to the team that has said they do tend to party the nights before away games. Claimed that a lot of guys were out super late the night before the Rams game last year. Again, hearsay. But I'm sure they get rowdy and yeah on Sunday they just looked like they wanted to get the heck outta town after a certain point.

  7. Howdy all Bills fans on this gray Saturday (if you're up here in the 716, that is, could be breezy and beautiful for some of y'all, I don't know where youse live!) anywho...

     

    Didn't see this posted up anywhere just yet, also seems to be a brand new video just dropped earlier today. Don't know how many of you follow some of the writers from The Athletic but their stuff is generally pretty good. 

     

    Analyst breaks down some of the plays Bills ran out of 22 personnel against KC last week and just shows the emphasis they put on utilizing Gilliam and the TE crew. Seemed like it was pretty effective.

  8. He's been insanely fun to watch this season. Every week I'm like, "welp, he'll probably get slowed down this week" not to the point of like 13 carries for 11 yards or anything, but more like, "he won't be breaking so many runs that go for 7 or more" but then he does. There he goes for 14, 8, 12, 7, 9, like almost every time. 

     

    His vision is really good and some of the OL guys have talked about how he's really skilled in the way he sets up his blocks. 

     

    He's shown improvement every year. I remember his first couple of seasons he was a really easy guy to tackle, often going down on first contact. But then he said his prayers and took his vitamins and now he breaks tackles and runs over dudes.

    I have to admit being so pampered by Josh's talent that plays like that are no longer a surprise.

     

    Yeah, I hear that. I try not to take it for granted, the dudes a unicorn and I've no idea if we'll ever see another one like him. Sometimes I'll think about the future like "one day he's gonna retire and that's gonna suuuuck" because I dunno if I can go another 15 years of the foosball gods making us suffer with QBs from the realm of mediocrity.

  10. My conspiracy take is that Josh got his bell rung really hard against the Pats. He scrambled and on the tackle his head whiplashed into the turf. He appeared a little wobbly when teammates helped him up and the game broadcast went to another shot. You could hear the analysts kind of beginning to wonder if something had happened but they went silent on that real quick and then just went back to calling the game. About 7-8 minutes went by until we saw a shot of Josh on the bench. 

     

    It was just a weird sequence IMO. Usually if it appears like a player may have been hurt but was able to get to the sidelines the analysts discuss it while the cameras follow said player for a beat. The fact that everything in this situation was opposite of how it usually goes was interesting. 

     

    The next few drives they had the dude was way off on a number of throws. 

     

    Again, just my conspiracy take.

  11. Yeah that's definitely not ideal. I'm also on the "try throwing it to Jimmy sometimes" bandwagon as he has been targeted exactly 0 times in the last two games. 

     

    It's weird because with Dorsey's offense, the passing game was centered around more intermediate and longer routes that they would hit on for 15, 20, 25 yards or whatever, but they never generated a lot of YAC in that scheme. 

     

    Now the pendulum has swung in the complete opposite direction. They can hit on all these shorter throws near the LOS and create some solid YAC, some of those plays even break loose for a big score (like Shakir has done twice this season). But now they can't hit anything down the field with a QB who has a rocket for a right arm and excels at those kinds of throws. I mean, it's awesome how he's improved a lot on the short stuff and that should certainly have a place in their system but right now it's just really unbalanced with the short stuff being somewhat successful and the down field stuff being nearly non-existent.

    Scoring a franchise-record in points last season wasn’t good enough for you?

     

    Right? And the "real pro offense" he's looking for probably looked a lot like what Ken Dorsey was doing. Longer developing routes and the mindset of, "hey we just line up and do our thing and see if they can stop us and if they stop us then, uh, I will throw my headset!"

     

    Brady has gotten a little ahead of himself at times but generally has been better at making adjustments.
