  1. Aside from the fact that one of the Browns rushers is running untouched towards him on the other side? If he throws to Beasley it is likely batted down - he had a split second to unload the ball to avoid the sack
  2. A few thoughts watching from a great distance to counter some of the hyper over-reactions after every win (we are super bowl bound) and loss (fire everyone, trade everyone and do a complete rebuild) 1. Daboll does not put JA in a position to succeed. Most coaches fail because they are too stupid or try to be too smart - Daboll is the latter. He does not do enough play action, roll-outs to create more oportunities for JA and definitely either a) abandons the running the game or b) features Gore over Devin 2. Defense needs to find a way to stop the run and create some turnovers - the past few weeks, we come up with almost no turnovers to help the offense 3. What really hurts our offense is lack of big-play capability. What is our longest TD this year? JA can not hit the long ball or the receivers can not find it; Gore has no explosiveness; Singletary is a very good runner but not a game- breaker. If you watch KC - they have a lot of TD's on short passes where the receiver breaks a tackle and outruns everyone to the end zone. We need more speed on offense. 4. JA is not a bust and being benched for Barkley (a career journeyman) and is not currently a franchise QB. He is a QB from a small-time program that has a big learning curve. He does some things well and some things poorly. The jury is still out - not the time yet to over-reach and anoint him either of the two. Give him one more year with some decent weapons - then we can make an intelligent assessment 5. McD is a good coach - not a great coach - relax, he is not being fired - he has brought order and stability and a decent record to this franchise. Give him some more time and then we will see. 6 GM is not getting fired - in general has done a decent job of managing the cap and drafting (past year's draft is still a TBD) - and creating order in the front office. My biggest criticism is his propensity to trade up All this being said, this was a terrible loss in a must win game and blame falls on offense, defense, coaches, coordinators and special teams
  3. Why didn't we keep Shady? Could have negotiated a reduction in salary and he probably would have stayed
  4. They finally are using Singletary - so much more explosive than Gore
  5. SOLD to a fellow TBD'er for a ridiculously low price - he better see a Bills' victory
  6. Getting stuck with these, will sell at DRASTICALLY reduced prices
  7. They are - one of the advantages of being a season ticket holder since 1961
  8. Was out of town so did not have chance to sell 2 tix to the game against the redskins They are Sec 111, 50 yard line on the aisle, row 8 Offering at face value $123 - would rather sell to TBD'ers than others Paypal (for both of our protections) and tix will come directly from Bills so you know legit
  9. The only benefit of tanking is to give you a shot at a franchise QB - which is hard to get right Cleveland "tanked" but where has it gotten them so far?
  10. If I recall correctly, we switched to the red helmets so that Joe Ferguson would have an easier time trying to find his WR's - all of the other teams in the division had white helmets so ours would stand out
  11. There is no rush to extend. Let's see how they play the entire year before extending
  12. No idea why anybody does it - especially in short yardage situations. It takes away any semblance of guesswork from the defense You are basically shouting to the defense - "We are passing - rush the passer - and stay with your receivers" In our 1st super bowl against the Cowboys, (with game still close) we had a 4th and goal at the 1 and took Thurman out of the backfield. I can imagine the Cowboys' defense's relief when they knew they did not have to guard against the run. [for you youngsters, we did not score the TD] One would think that a team's defensive coordinator would tell their offensive coordinator - "We love it when the other team runs empty backfield, so you should not do it!"
  13. What worries me is that all of the INT's were not "rookie" mistakes by being fooled by coverage or scheme - they were all really dumb throws to receivers who were not open. On many of the sacks, he had plenty of time and should have either thrown the ball away or taken off to run, At this point, he needs to be (and should already be) smarter in his situational awareness.
  14. and Cooper Kupp! (had we not traded up)
  15. Josh Allen is the QB of the future, but for this year ... must be a QB, and must be Brady
  16. Craigslist - since there are no fees. Lots of scammers, so make sure that a) you are using regular PAYPAL - NOT friends and family b) they will email the tix to you direct from Ticketmaster if the person balks at either of these two or asks for anything funny, stay away
  17. We need to really be racking up wins before we hit the tough stretch of - Cowboys, Ravens, Steelers, Pats
  18. I donated mine to Big Brothers/Big Sisters (www.beafriend.org) (716) 873-5833 www.hospicebuffalo.org (716) 686-8077 sometimes has taken some tix
  19. Great Video. Love how all the staff seem so organized and professional Great touch when they called Pancho
  20. Hope you are right - would love this option!
  21. The really sad thing is that we all hate the Patriots, but they could care less about the Bills Kind of similar to the 70's when we lost to the Fins 20 straight times - for us a dolphins game was like a super bowl - for them just another game Very degrading to be in a one way rivalry
  22. The key to being a successful coach is #1 creating a scheme to match your talent #2 creating a scheme to take away your opponent's strengths neither are rocket science, but 99% of coaches are either too dumb or try to be too smart. Marv Levy's greatest contribution when he coached the Bills was to recognize the offensive talent we had and let them go with the K-Gun as opposed to his ground and pound background.
  23. I did not think he had that much time to throw and their RB was picked off the waiver wire No idea what is going on with Gurley? He is their best offensive weapon and barely played
