Augie…while hindsight is of course a fan’s pastime you do know that scouting and drafting these guys is actually a real job that the Bills are paying professionals to do, right? One has to wonder are they not very good at it or is there a wide chasm of disconnect between what the scouts think they see and what the coaching staff is actually looking for?

What in the world is going on? I’d swear that the Chiefs Right Tackle moves a hair early on virtually every single play!

It has to be the uniforms. OJ had all of his best road games in that same white jersey with blue pants combination that Cook was sporting yesterday. Every time the Bills wear them…I think of The Juice. He was incredible!

Virgil, my daughter’s soccer career spanned the entirety of the drought years, so it wasn’t a really hard decision to ‘watch’ the majority of the Bills games on my phone.

I remain utterly confused about the role Bishop is supposed to be playing in this defense. And there are many plays where he appears to be confused as well.

Ya got that right. I had just looked at the Pats remaining schedule and the only opponent missing is a home game against Appalachian State. Sheeesh!

It’s a really good thing the game is in Buffalo. Otherwise I wouldn’t hold my breath for a Bills victory.

Hoecht played like he could lift a car off of a kid? Maybe that six game suspension wasn’t enough time for those PEDs to completely work their way out of his system after all. 😉

Is it possible it’s just a breath freshener? Ya don’t wanna have bad breath as you blow past those defenders.

Rub some dirt on it.

You must be new to the Bills fandom. This is how McDs defense has been playing for years now. The scheme is awful.

Let’s me see…..do turnovers matter? Yes they do!

Why is this so complicated for some of you? Yes…it’s fickle for sure. We all know that! But….if you consistently lose the turnover margin you aren’t winning …period!

Are turnovers somewhat random? Yes they are. Does losing the turnover battle make a HUGE difference in each game’s outcome. Yes, it most definitely does! Both statements are true. And with this team’s obvious roster challenges, you can be certain that the second statement is crucial to their ultimate W/L record.

Yep…it’s the back of the scoreboard. Good eye. But with the budget overruns I heard they’re installing a manually operated one……kidding. Yes, I believe that’s the final artificial turf. It has the coaching box lines on it. That photo’s interesting because it shows the significant progress being made on the seat installation. They’re on the upper deck now. I was told that those sections are unique as they have special access to the concourse areas just behind them. You’ll notice the black shadowed slit at the rear of those seats.

I pity the poor guy who has to sit behind him. Ya pay all that money to go to a World Series game and a mountain is sitting right front of you! Sheeesh!

It’s not goalpost moving any more than your post. You have to look at the position players play. Football isn’t like the other sports. Players play completely different positions, and they rarely change. And, a lot depends on how strong the need is by the 32 NFL teams that particular year, and by how strong the Class of rookies was at that position that particular year. So yes, while a player may have been taken 170th in the overall draft order, he may have been the third or fourth best safety in the nation that year. (I’m not saying that was the case here, but the point still applies.) I hope that clarifies my earlier post.

That sort of ranking doesn’t apply in football. There are NOT 170 safeties in the draft.

Wait! You’re saying our LBs are virtually non existent on PURPOSE? Well that makes me feel a little better I guess.

Was Johnny Bench on that Reds team? I always liked him.

Speaking as a Southern Californian, there’s literally nobody that considers Seattle approximate to Los Angeles. 😉

I keep reading this Barry Sanders comparison but I’d suggest it’s far more likely that he demands to be traded to the Rams. He’d be closer to Hollywood for his eventual career move and his wife is from Southern California with a career of her own. He’d slide right in after Stafford retires and have McVay as his coach; a perfect fit for a star QB.

I’ve looked back through my texts and emails from back then and I can honestly report that I had nothing to do with it.

Let me see if I got this right: The Bills aren’t fast enough, big enough, tough enough, or smart enough. Okie Dokie!

Hey! I’m proud of him for throwing it at all. He’s obviously building on his game. You go, Dude! 👍
