    When the BILLS win the SB this year there will be a ton of bills fans in the heavens looking down and smiling. Perhaps breaking some saintly tables. 


    Absolutely!!!!

    @DaggersEODThis is in no way a LAMP post. Family deaths are an important part of this community, in that your brothers and sisters of TSW can try to lend moral support to those who are grieving.

     

    Peace to you and your family.

     

    I appreciate that my friend. 
     

    All of your responses have just been incredible.
     

    Thank you my board brothers and sisters 

  2. Thank you all so very much. It really means the world to me. I’ve been here since the BBMB closed. It’s the 1st site I visit in the morning and last at night. 
     

    You guys are awesome. Thank you 😥

    May the Bills win tomorrow in her honor and may her children and family be filled with such strong peace that it defies understanding.

     

    As a side note, Is it wrong that I always wonder what happened whenever I see someone pass away?


    It’s ok. In this instance, accident led to a severe infection that she never was able to fight off. No one was expecting it. 
     

    Just 42….

  3. I’ve been dreading this Look At My Sister Please LA(MS)P post for a couple days but I feel I must. 
     

    We lost a HUGE Bills fan last week, my little Sister, unexpectedly, right before the game last week. Her Kids, Her Family and the Buffalo Bills (in that order) were her life. As a proud member of the Bills Mafia, she made sure my kids were fully dressed in Bills gear from their 1st B-Day until their most recent one. She was the glue that kept our family together and now she’s up there watching us. 
     

    While most fans associated the opening Hines KO return for a TD with Hamlin, for us we were all screaming her name (Rachel) with bittersweet tears in our eyes. The 2nd TD return was no less emotional. 
     

    Love you Rachel and LFG BUFFALO 🖤

    It must be because the majority of the people in r/nfl were praising the nfl for handling it perfectly and anyone suggesting the nfl wanted to continue the game was pretty much attacked lol.  Maybe we have a different perspective in Bills world 


    Isn’t this the way all controversies concerning people with power are handled?

     

    Mind your place serf

    From the limited time game play. Cincy was going to blow our doors off .

     

    and now - we’ll have a 3rd string fs. Who knows about our cb3/LB3 starter 


    As every GDT can confirm, in every single game, there’s a portion of time where it looks like one side is literally unstoppable. 
     

    Then they are stopped. Sometimes it takes them a quarter to get back in rhythm. 
     

    They were at home against the golden boys, ready for playoff football and they were FIRED UP. They even wanted the ball 1st!
     

    We were in the middle of taking their best punch when DH went down. 
     

    While of course it’s possible, I doubt the entire game would’ve had the same energy and 1-sided momentum as the 1st 1/2 of the 1st 1/4 (1st 1/8?? 😅)

    My question is if it's true his heart stopped at hospital does that indicate that the hit to the chest didnt necessarily cause the heart issue. From my understanding based off what these doctors are saying is a hit to the chest causes the heart electrical sustem to get out of whack. But if its started again with CPR or AED then it should go back to normal and its just a case of how much damage is caused. If his heart stopped again does that mean there is something underlying or could the first cardiac arrest cause multiple?


    The way my layman’s understanding goes, is that if it was a 1:1,000,000 bad luck hit, then the heart essentially stalled. Meaning it was good to go, freak accident, restart the “engine” and go along on your merry way. 
     

    If there were multiple resuscitations, then that takes the freak hit off the list of probable causes. 
     

    We need to look at his heart and see what kind of shape it’s in, if there is any scarring/swelling/etc and what may have caused it to understand WTF happened Monday. 
     

    God unlimited prayers for Damar 🙏🙏🙏

    Well lets all hope and pray theres not to much grieving going on and Damar shows improvement.

     

     Josh Allen has been in the same situation before after losing a loved one.

     

    and played lights out... 

     

    Oh I completely agree and hope you’re 100% correct. 
     

    I’ll just say as a combat vet, losing a loved one is absolutely devastating. Watching a friend/teammate go down in the “field of battle” and seeing them getting “worked on” is a completely different trauma. 
     

    I know it’s different for everyone, but that’s my experience.

    I’ll be honest… I’m kind of over this season already. Just to think the league wants more games.  Not that it would make a difference in this case but there needs to be a 2nd bye week. These dang players go through so much.

    We can make our own bye.

     

    Forfeit this week AND next. Grieve. Rest.

     

    Maybe they’ll be ready to play again for the 1st round. Wouldn’t blame them.

    Edmunds has had a fine season, but when we were getting gashed by the Dolphins, I felt it was exhibit A of why he shouldn’t get a substantial $14M/yr+ contract after this season. Allocate that money to the offense, specifically OL, and let Bernard or a rookie compete with AJK for the position opposite Milano. Sure the defense won’t be as strong, but seeing as how they never really shut down a top offense, it’s better to get Josh the help he needs to sustain a high level of play.
    For a team up against the salary cap, tough decisions will be made…


    It’s taken me a few years to get here but I’m on the “Sign TE” side now. 
     

    My eyeball tells me that the Bills don’t GAF if you can run on them, because our O can outscore any run game.
     

    We schematically seem to sell out on the pass and essentially hope they “waste a down” by running. 
     

    We get gashed by the run occasionally but we rarely get gashed through the air and TE is the key to that. 
     

    I’ll admit, I don’t like the approach. VERY frustrating to watch us stay in Nickel as the opponent methodically marches down the field. 
     

    The thing is, the opponent drive often stalls as it’s difficult to string that many positive plays in a row.  

     

    I don’t think there are many (any?) other LBs in the NFL that ALLOWS us to run the D we currently run successfully. 
     

    Like I said, this is all eyeball, but the games w/out TE really helped me see this perspective.

    I'll go, but I don't think I'll stay in Phoenix.  I'm leaning towards Tucson where the motels aren't all booked up at over a grand a night.  I bet $950 on the Bills to win the AFC at +425 (4.25/1) back in February as "Super Bowl Insurance" to pay for most of the ticket, which is currently at around $6,000 for the cheapest seats at NFL On Location.  I'm trying to get Petrino to go with me but he's undecided right now.  

     

    Wow. That’s a great strategy!

    Not really. Bears had 29 rushes for 80 yards and Bills had 31 rushes for 254. Bills were moving just fine. Bears not so much.


    Yeah my assessment was all gut/recollection and your numbers shoot down my recollection of the Bears abandoning the run compared to us. 
     

    That said, the Bears D still seemed a lot less nimble and our RBs seemed like they were able to take advantage. 
     

    Like their cuts/cutbacks worked when usually it seems like they don’t. 

  12. I think the cold weather had a lot to do with our rushing performance. Both Ds seemed to be playing with concrete shoes. 
     

    inexplicably, the Bears decided to stop running while we, fighting all team tendencies, kept at it and the score reflected those decisions. 
     

    Again, just eyeball observations.

  13. Eyeball/gut answer is that JAs arm allows him to get balls through very tight windows leaving the ball carrier with little to no space to work with once they make the catch. 
     

    It’s almost like all the YAC is sucked up in the “air yards” the ball travels. 
     

    Im not a stats ninja but perhaps there’s a statistical relationship between air yards and YAC. Meaning more air yards tend to result in less YAC while less air yards tend to result in more YAC. 

     

    It would be interesting to see where our pass catchers rank in “air yards/catch”. 
     

    I guess what I’m saying is shorter routes equal more YAC and that’s not our game.

    Here's a really dumb question - are acl injuries not painful? How do you pass an acl test or play through a blown acl? 


    I don’t know the answer to your question but these guys are likely doped up prior to the game and get some in-game “treatments” in the tents. 


    Guys carried/limping into the tent, leave 5 min later “testing the knee” doing sprints on the sideline 😬

     

    Im sure there is a cool off period after each game where the “adrenaline” wears off and they start assessing the damage they did that week.

    Yeah, at least three guys stopped f'ing around the second they saw coach and Allen got on his horse and never even turned around. :lol:

    I wonder if it was because they didn't want to get in trouble or because they thought McD had it covered and was about to start locking people into chicken wings.


    Obviously both 🤣

     

    Stick around and you might find yourself in a chicken wing. Once he gets going, some amount of friendly fire is expected. 

  16. 2. With that being said, it's noticeable how much better scripted plays and open routes these other teams are able to generate on the field.  On almost half the offensive plays, it seems like the opposing QB's are able to find their receiver within their first two reads, while Josh is out there making things up on the fly.  
     

    I think this is a result of the Bills being the #1 team in the AFC. We’re consistently getting their best shots, while we’re trying to save our best stuff for the playoffs. 
     

    They empty their shelves, going against tendencies, setting up plays w/formations and motion, all trying to get an edge against one of the best teams in the NFL. 

     

    We, on the other hand are trying to establish tendencies to be exploited in the post-season. We’re saving our easy plays for 3rd and 6 in the AFCCG or beyond. 
     

    Im HOPING that we’re “saving our powder” and that we’ll see the unleashed Bills O in Jan.
