They do, don't they?
I kind of LOL about Taiwan Jones being in total control, choosing the menu including the sidedishes while Diggs and Gabe Davis are like "No, man, you choose, we know it'll be great!"
I am by no means a picky eater but I couldn't imagine someone else picking what I eat three or four times a week.

If BB was to become a free agent coach right now...in fact put every coach back in a pot and or lottery and let's see who get picked first..
Sure thing, and Sam Darnold and Josh Rosen were both picked before Josh Allen by those same NFL teams your talking about.
You know who else was super popular and a "defensive genius" ? Rex Ryan.
You know who else has the same winning percentage as BB has without Tom Brady (.480) ? Rex Ryan.
It isn't about hype, it isn't about popularity, it isn't even about reputation, sports is about wins and losses and (yet again) BB has more losses than wins without Brady.
He is a sub .500 coach without Brady. He no longer has Brady. He will continue to be a sub .500 coach

The only thing that matters with Belichik is his record with Brady
......until he doesn't have Brady.
QuoteAndy Reid was able to do fairly well with Alex Smith but could never win a playoff game. He did reach a SB in Philly with McNabb but lost.
Andy Reid has coached 22 years and has a winning record (over .500) without Mahomes. Again (and again and again again) BB does not have a winning record without Brady. You can keep arguing with me but that stat is not going to change, as a matter of fact I bet good money that it will get worse as the season goes on.
Your logic (and that of the other guy with the man crush on BB ) is pretty illogical. All that matters in sports is Wins and losses and BB has more losses then wins without Tom Brady.
..........BTW, aren't you the same guy that was saying we would lose against the Seahawks and the Patriots? Maybe you should take a little break from giving "High IQ" football opinions.

And BB is not the same coach he was in Cleveland.
BB is 21- 25 in New England without Brady. You can keep posting whatever you want but that number wont get any better this season as a matter of fact I bet it gets worse. He has a losing record without Brady in New England and in Cleveland.
We have had a ton of coaches that had sub .500 records without Jim Kelly, a lot of them had a couple of great games. That doesn't make them a genius.

ha ha at just a good coach..
someone needs to look at his resume a little deeper.
If by someone you mean me I just did.
BB is 51-65 as a head coach without Tom Brady which includes a 21-25 New England record without Brady. So far he is a sub .500 coach without Brady with a record comparable to Norv Turner, Jack Del Rio, or Lou Saban.

Sounds good, but seems apples to oranges to me. Before Belichick was Pete Carrol and Bill Parcells. As long as the Kraft family owns that team they aren't going to look like the 2000's Bills.
Bill Parcells was already the coach of the team when Kraft bought it and as is oft noted but frequently ignored, Bellicheck has a losing record as a coach when he doesn't have Brady.
Pete Carrol lasted three years in New England. Finishing (afc east) 1st once and 4th twice.
Bill Parcells coached 4 years in New England finishing (afc east) 1st once, 2nd once, and 4th twice.
Kraft fired them both.
Bellicheck is not a coaching evil genius. He is just a good coach that got lucky with one of the top 5 qb's in history.
Kraft is not some great coach magnet he got lucky with a guy that was already there when he showed up. Then he did go out and get someone regarded as a great but fired him over personal differences. Then he got Bellicheck who was not highly regarded at the time and who got lucky with a late draft pick that no one else thought much of at the time named Brady. Brady only got to play because of an injury to the starter. No one at the time including Kraft or BB expected him to turn into what he did.
We have to stop suffering from battered wives syndrome when it comes to the patriots.

Bill Belichick has always had losing record without Brady ( 51-65) and that includes with the patriots (20-23). Belicheck can be very successfully in the system he likes but that requires the players that are best suited to play in that system and he currently does not have the QB, WR or TE's to make that system work.
The pats are done. They are not going to get any better this year.The offense looked like a high-school team and on defense San Fran was moving the ball at will against them with basic play calling. Without the Patriots mystique that has been built up over the years and the fear that other teams feel when playing them because of it I bet SF could have put up 50 points on them.
This should be any easy win for us. Anything less will be a disappointment.
You heard it here first

Josh is holding on to the ball to long. I think he took a confidence hit over the last two games.

I wonder what the TV contract stipulates for weather delays. If the game doesn't restart until 345...will CBS allow the game to broadcast until finished...or switch the 4 PM game?
after the infamous Heidi bowl game I believe they must show the game in its entirety

I think at this point all the games will be without fan attendance anyway so they should just play all games this season in two or three states that have two or more stadiums Like California, New York(NJ), Florida and Texas or play all games in one state using college stadiums. Bubble the guys like the NBA is doing and play on Saturday and Sunday instead of just Sunday if you cant make the numbers work.
Contact with the locals can be minimized by testing anyone coming in or out. All travel by team plane only and facilities off limits to everyone except NFL tested people.

Bidet manufacturer TUSHY is the first company expressing interest in the naming rights and a whole lot more. With the release bordering on “toilet humor”, Buffalo Rumblings reached out to TUSHY and confirmed that the information below is indeed “toilet seriousness”.

If they cancel the season a lot of older guys that were planning their last Hurrah this year wont get it. Sitting for a year would probably end a lot of careers

I would prefer not to wear a mask, but I do because my wife wants me to, and every business and facility I go into requires it. So what really irks me is when I see someone in a business without a mask on, where the doors/entrances have plenty of sign about masks being required, and the store staff doesn't kick them out.
Two security guards have been shot to death trying to enforce the mask rule ( Not in WNY) and several business that opened had to close down because employees were being threatened, cursed at, etc.
There was a state that had a mandatory mask rule and I saw that Governors press conference when he rescinded it. Apparently some teenage girl at an ice cream stand or something was assaulted and one of the security guards that was shot was in his state as well. He said people should wear the mask but he wasn't going to put people in harms way over it.
I am not defending it just saying that is why.

Retail has been withering away for years. We almost never go shopping at the mall. Things arrive at our door daily because there is a better inventory on line. The world is changing, we need to keep up. This is not all Covid related. This is the future that was coming regardless, but maybe a little expedited.
Retail isn't the only thing hurting. I live off my military pension and my dividends from investing. I keep a very close eye on the market. Plenty of industries are hurting now. Tens of thousands of oil workers are on the street right now and with capacity at nearly 100 percent those people wont be working any time soon. That is from the guy working the rig to the people on the ships to the people that maintain the pipelines and the guys that drive the trucks. Its basically the 1970's steel crises all over again in that industry.
Any cruise line not named Carnival could be filling tomorrow, and truth be told Carnival is only surviving due to scale. Auto industry sales are down 38%. Plants are closed or operating at diminished capacity. People without jobs dont go on cruises and they dont buy new cars.
Tourism, Sports, Entertainment, Retail, Marketplaces, Restaurants and Fintech are Most Affected by COVID-19 Lockdown https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/5-industries-most-affected-by-covid-19-lockdown-2020-04-21
People are not taking this seriously and its easy to see why. All of whats going on in these industries should be in the news everyday but pimping fear is easier. Joe average doesn't even know its going on.
Anxiety is a very real problem and we will be dealing with the after effects of this for years to come.
I do not know of anyone that that has died from covid-19. My son had it and a friend had it. My 30 yr old son didn't even know he had it and my friend was sick for about three days. On the other hand I have a friend whose 20 yr old son has turned into a recluse basically refusing to leave the house except for food. I Know of another guy that was a drug addict, clean and sober for over 12 years that is using again because he has been sitting in house for the last 4 months doing nothing but collect that extra $600 a week.
That is not to mention all the people with preexisting health conditions that haven't been able to see a doctor, many of whom have probably been self medicating, or the tens of thousands that will find out they have an incurable cancer or other disease that could have been cured if they could have got that test done back in March or April that they were scheduled for. Heart disease Kills about 650,000 every year and Cancer kills around 600,000 BTW.
This is on top of the work from home push that will probably shutter some office buildings and tech complexes across the country. A lot of people are about to have no job to go back to.
You can revisit this comment in a couple weeks after that money runs out. I predict sky rocketing crime, double digit unemployment, and higher taxes. and its already starting to happen IMO. Even CNN admits that https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2020/06/26/violent-crime-rising-gingras-nr-vpx.cnn . I hope you get to tell me I was wrong but I dont think so. This is just like the steel plant closings of the 70's only on a national scale.

I dont know why so many people just assume that there will be a cure or a vaccine that will actually work. We have been trying to cure cancer for over 100 years. The first aids/hiv case was reported in June of 1981 and we have no cure. Diabetes, Crohn's disease, Graves disease, Huntington's and a zillion other things that we have been working on have no cure. Even if they do come out with a vaccine how long will it take to make and distribute it to a population over 320 million?
Restaurants, stores etc cant keep operating at 1/2 capacity. That is a reality. The airlines are already saying that middle seat stuff is out the window. They just cant operate like that.
Everyday it seems like a major employer is going out of business or filing for bankruptcy. Neiman Marcus, J. Crew, Bath & Body Works, Nordstrom etc etc etc. Yesterday it was Chuck E Cheese. You cant turn the economy on and off at will and the fed cant keep printing up fake money or we are going to start to see some good old 1970's style inflation and even more business gone.
Our governor has just decreed malls cant open until they have some type of super HEPA filters to clean out the air. Think about that. Can you even imagine what that would cost for just the Walden Galleria? The same malls that haven't been collecting rent for the last 4 months are now supposed to be spending hundreds of thousands of dollars (if not millions) on air filtration systems? This "new normal" we are getting from the state of NY is unsustainable.
A lot of people dont have a job to go back to and once that extra $600 from the feds runs out in 4 weeks its going to get hanky real fast around here.
I know I go against the grain here but to me at least the bottom line is if I cant hug my kids and grand-kids I am not "living " anyway. I have no intention of spending the last years of my life waving at family and loved ones from the curb. Hiding in my home with curtains drawn and only scurrying out to get supplies is not my idea of life.

Well first because war memorial isn't in the greatest neighborhood
So the History argument is only valid if that history happened in what is now a good neighborhood? If its a bad neighborhood we skip ahead?
QuoteAnd 56 bucks for pizza and wings? What are you serving 20 people?
3. Me and my two adult sons normally watch the game together.
QuoteUnless I was having a party I would never spend that much on pizza and wings and I order pizza and wings a lot honestly
I just looked it up:
Lanovas
Family Pak with Wings $59.99
Bocces
1 Whole Pizza 18.63
One double order of wings $19.82Avenue
Large Cheese and Pepperoni Pizza and Chicken Wings $34.79With taxes those are all close to $50 dollars. If your ordering those tiny tasteless dominoes or Pizza huts Pizzas your probably in the minority in Buffalo...... and you should be ashamed of yourself.
QuoteAnd yes obviously you are doing great money wise.. you know who isn't ? Most people liviing in the city.
You and me and probably most here are probably doing well enough but the people in the city by and large aren't
I am retired military, enlisted not officer. I doubt many would think my retirement check was that great.
I also live in the city and Lanova's, one of the most expensive Pizza joints in the area is in the City on the west side and they dont seem to be lacking for customers. Also when I drive through riverside, the west side, or any other part of the city in the morning I see lines of cars full of people buying $5 cups of coffee when we all have coffee makers at home. An extra couple of bucks 8 times a year isn't going to break the bank for most people already attending Bills games.
This concern about poor city people....... If your concerned you shouldn't be. If the stadium is downtown we wont have to pay to get out to OP and wont have to pay ridiculous parking fees once we get there. Even if they raised ticket prices it would be cheaper for us poor city people to hop the train downtown and walk to the stadium like we we do for Sabres or Bison's games. If they raised ticket prices 25 dollars tomorrow and moved the stadium downtown that is still a net positive gain for me.
Just be honest. You want in to stay in OP because your used to it. All these post about "poverty" and "history" is just a coverup for "I am lazy and I am used to this so I dont want it to change" or worse "I live in the burbs and the thought of going in to the city terrifies me"
I get it. This is Buffalo, this is what we do. We dont want anything to change. Its one of the reason I came back here instead of retiring in a military town like all my buddies did. I actually love this place and am cursed with thinking the same way. I wish I could go downtown and get one of those big greasy burgers they used to serve at Grants lunch counter. After that I would grab coffee at Your Host and on the weekends I would get taffy and fudge at crystal beach.
Woolworth's anyone?
"Passengers please buckle your seat belts and prepare for landing. We will be arriving in Buffalo NY shortly. Please set your clocks and watches back 30 years."
Times have changed. We have to change with them.

A few points I would like to make. Just my 2 cents.
There will be a new stadium and it will probably be a covered stadium. If your a die hard snow fan you can grumble all you want but they know your still going to the game. They have already started with the catered tailgating. Your just gonna have to be a little more civilized. The days of table slamming your drunk buddy in the parking lot are coming to an end.
In the same vein, more people will come because its in a climate controlled environment then will stop coming because they can no longer get their picture taken in the snow with their shirt off while guzzling a beer.
Saying "we are buffalo we cant afford higher ticket prices" is just ridiculous. According to this article:
QuoteBUFFALO, N.Y. — Bills' season tickets are projected to go up an average of $4.11 per game, according to a letter the team sent to season ticket holders.
The increase makes the average price of a season ticket $93.67 per game, according to the team. The Bills are only one of three teams in the NFL where the average price of a ticket is under $100.
The average price is $94. Jack that up 50% to $150 and all you did was order Pizza and wings from La nova. Its 8 games a year people. I order Pizza and wings more then 8 times a year. I bet most people attending Bills games do too. Some of you guys carry this poverty thing way to far.
......and finally I really dont understand this sentiment some people have with Orchard Park. It isn't Lambeu field, the Bills where not born in Orchard park. Why dont I ever see anyone saying the bills should be at the old War Memorial site? That is the place were Daryle Lamonica, Cookie Gilchrist. Jack Kemp, Elbert Dubenion and Paul Maguire won AFL championships in 1964 and 1965. If its all about being a purist and history then that is the place you should want the stadium.
It isn't a question of "if"they build a new stadium its when.

Bottom line is you dont win NFL games in the modern era scoring 1 touchdown.
A lot of people will predictably blame this or that player or this or that play but the truth is we dont dial up a quick strike throws when needed and plays called require way to much time to develop at critical junctures of the game.
JJ watt is a great player. JJ watt is going to get your quarterback if you play against him. I dont care who your tackle is your not going to keep him contained all game. The way to minimize that is to stop calling plays that take all afternoon to develop.
Pound for pound with the talent we have on the team we should have won today. Offensive coaching let us down.
I for one will not be shedding any tears if Brian Daboll lands a spot coaching another team next year.
