Your screen name is perfect for you.

Go away. No, Allen is not historically inaccurate. He's been atrocious on the deep ball. How many of those are thrown in ratio to the rest of his passes? How many slants are horribly thrown??? Okay, I'll play along. How many? And before you critique that number, is that number significantly higher than other NFL QBs? Get back to me when you've bothered to cross reference.

Regardless of what your own coaching philosophies might be, do you think McDermott is keeping his nose out of Daboll's offensive cookie jar?

You don't believe that offensive philosophies are driven by the Head Coach?

Oooooooooooohhhhhh... duuuhhhh!!!! My bad!!! Thanks guys

I hope this isn't just talk. We've upgraded almost every position on offense and haven't been any better than last year. McDermott says he wants his players to play fearless, but I'm fearful he and Daboll are holding our offense back.

What does "enjoying my Bar Bill mean?

Strongly disagree, as I think most would, but we'll just have to agree to disagree I guess. And I'm very much a Bills homer.

He connected with Rudolph's head clearly. It wasn't a direct hit. If it was, Rudolph would have been knocked out. But it clearly hit him in the head if you watch the video perspective from behind Rudolph. Rudolph didn't have a helmet on. White did. That's the X factor here. Garrett's was worse by far. He had plenty of time to let go of or throw the helmet and just swing a fist at Rudolph. He didn't. Most repugnant thing to ever happen on a football field.

No, that play was not the same level as Garrett. Like I said, it was despicable, but not to the level of what happened between Rudolph and Garrett. White still had his helmet on. I don't know what the effort is to accomplish with this comparison. I don't think anyone would say Gronk's hit on White is forgivable. Everyone, including a lot of the national media, agreed that Gronk should have been suspended. That play by Gronk was terrible. The think last night was notably worse.

So I didn't spend a lot of time watching the play before from different angles. I just saw the initial angle where Garrett swung the helmet at Rudolph but it was kind of from behind and it wasn't totally visible if Rudolph was hit. In rewatching and seeing a better angle and seeing that Garrett indeed hit Rudolph directly in the head, I think Garrett needs to be suspended for next year by the NFL as well. Garrett makes Suh look like a choir boy.

Huh? What are you referring to?

The Gronk play was despicable, too. And he should have been suspended. But that was also a football player hitting another football player. Yes, it was after the play was over. And yes, Gronk is a behemoth. But it was man on man. Garrett had Rudolph's helmet in his hand and swung it. If Garrett dropped the helmet and punched Rudolph in the face with his fist, Garrett would and should still be suspended, but probably not indefinitely. Swinging a helmet at another player's head is a huge deal. I'm amazed ANYONE could defend Garrett after that.

Which was why I said I didn't think it would happen. But that play is maybe the only play I've ever seen in the NFL that would be grounds for it.

I don't think it would happen, but I could see Garrett being criminally prosecuted. Swinging a helmet at another player's head is, to me, potential grounds for assault with a deadly weapon.

Good. Anything less than the rest of this season would have been criminal. Really glad the NFL took swift action. That was the most despicable thing I ever witnessed on a football.

Holy crap! I just watched it after tuning out at the end. He should be suspended the rest of the year, period. Anything less is a joke.

Loving this show. Only on season 1, but it's a show both my wife and I love, which is a bonus because I get into a lot of shows that she just doesn't care for like Mindhunter. Eugene Levy's been such a great character actor going all the way back to Splash in the 80s.

Where's the wedding? Me and my fellow Bills fan Norm will be at Applebee's at Ka Makana Ali'i... the new Mall in Kapolei. We used to watch at the Chili's in Kapolei for years, but the bartender has been an escalating dick over the last couple years. Not a ton of people at Applebee's, but they turn the TV up so we can hear it as we sit at the bar. Come join us if you're this side of the island

No. Hope, yes. Think, no. Just win.

Still think the Bills get to at least 10 wins and get in as the 5 seed.

Part of this is just a coaching problem, plain and simple. McDermott coaches conservative. I would love for his comments today to his team about "play(ing) fearless" to be an indicator of some serious systemic changes on offense, but I'm fearFUL it won't be.

It's one thing for McDermott to say that, but it's another thing for him to coach it. Guess we'll see.

Time to start spending your coins?????? Dude. Allen has this year and most of next year AT THE VERY LEAST. If he's awful to end this year and moving into next year, I could see him getting benched midseason next year, but not before that. And that's absolutely worst case scenario. But he hasn't been awful. So can we pump the brakes here. This has been said time and time and time again, but Allen was a very raw prospect coming out of college. His play through his first 20 games has exceeded expectations, if everyone's being honest. If he's an absolute train wreck in these last 7 games, let's talk then, but even then he'll still start next season to begin the year.

Shaw your comments on Duke Williams I think are important. Anyone watching the game last night could see the importance of big WRs with good hands. Allen isn't remotely as good as Russell Wilson, but you could just see the significance of DK Metcalf for Wilson, even if he didn't come down with every ball. And how about Josh Gordon? That late game critical 3rd down conversion to Gordon was a thing of beauty. And it wasn't even a perfect pass by any means for Wilson; it was pretty low, but Gordon reached out and snatched it and didn't even break stride. Now Duke isn't as fast as those 2 guys, obviously. But this speed thing isn't working for Daboll's offense. If he wants to keep the jet sweeps in the offense for the misdirection he seems to like, then keep EITHER Foster or McKenzie active and use them, not both. I don't know why we can't use Roberts for those, actually. McKenzie and Roberts both in the WR corps is redundant to me. I don't think Duke becomes a number 1 WR for this team, but it's becoming pretty clear Allen needs a big WR who can go ***** the football. Plus, he's proven he can run block.
