I've disliked his play-calling the entire time. Obviously the Bills offense has been productive with Josh Allen and Brian Daboll. But is that because of Josh Allen, or because Daboll calls such a well-sequenced game?

He admitted to sandbagging as a playcaller leading up to the KC game. He's not calling our best plays against lesser opponents. What the eff is with the bull#### first down play calls! If we can't run well, why the eff are we suddenly insisting on running on first down? It's not like Daboll is effectively catching defenses off-balance with play-action or any other such scheming off his horrible first down playcalling. So what is it other than arrogance and a lack of fundamental synchronization between the run and pass games?

He struggles when he's frustrated. Clouds his judgment. He's admitted as much. Which is a shame, because I thought he was calm and controlled to start this game.

Do we all agree now that Cody Ford is not NFL-caliber? (Which isn't to suggest most of you were unaware of this. I simply wish to find consensus that part of the problem is that this high value asset has proven now to be a bust, but not before at least factoring into management's LACK of aggressive offseason upgrades to the interior O-line.)

Got any specific examples to support this claim, champ? I like to learn.

Borderline unwatchable product. Yet, we continue to watch/spend money, thus: why should the NFL care? Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I tend to hope, with his continued privacy on the matter, that he's intentionally providing cover for his guys who have chosen not to get vaccinated (I assume it's more than just Beasley). I know he made early comments that strongly suggested an anti-vax inclination, but I agree with many who guess Josh Allen would place availability above his own potential personal reluctance. Often I think of Diggs's tweet in response to Beasley early on: something to the effect of "Availability. Accountability." That is the kind of football-based decision-making I hope won over Allen. Being vaccinated makes it more likely a player will be available more often. But there's so much we don't know and won't know, which makes this all quite thrilling.

Dorsey. Former QB as OC for me. Solid relationship with Josh already. Probably has his own ideas about where he'd tweak the offense. The pipeline is already stocked. Plus, as I think one poster already alluded to, we could have our next QB coach-in-waiting in Davis Webb. He's doing the job of an offensive assistant already (did I read somewhere he also works with the defense a little?), works after hours with Josh on each week's gameplans, and can be seen during games working with Josh between drives on the sidelines. Their ritualistic training camp footraces alone get him an interview.

Okay, so...what IS? (I'm happy to be wrong, provided my wrongness is explained to me in ways that expands my haphazard understanding of a given subject. Just telling me I'm wrong isn't very useful to anyone. I didn't go back and research the Dareus/Hughes Orchard Park stupidity driving Olympics, so perhaps I'm oversimplifying...)

Two cars racing a short distance in a straight line, especially from a dead stop (like at a traffic light), IS most definitely drag racing. Let's not get caught up in silly semantics for no reason.

The Colts are not awful to my eyes. At all. They are physical, talented, and can put up points in bunches when Wentz is on his game. They run a balanced offense, driven by a solid o-line, which scares me for the Bills. (They can also apparently be scored on in bunches...mostly due to mediocre DB play, is what it looks like?)

Meh, I guess I could deal with a downtown stadium. By the time it's completed I'd be around 50, so a new approach to tailgating wouldn't be SO bad. Really prefer a lot of seating coverage, and even some field, but WITHOUT a full roof (retractable or not).

Wouldn't the NFL love the narrative of this galvanizing Tennessee for a deep run?

This might be the first post I've read suggesting that, which I find fascinating. I've certainly wondered about Johnson's coaching as well. But from our vantage as fans, how could we know? It's possible Allen's playmaking covers up some deficits in offensive personnel and coaching.

What would motivate the Colts to do that? Sincerely asking. Is Nelson not likely to re-sign there? How is Ford a valuable asset?

I would never ignore such a poster; might miss the gems. He disparaged a person working to improve his mental health (and having the courage to admit it publicly), labeled another human being he worked with "a hourly" (defined a person based on his monetary compensation structure) and celebrated that person's loss of said income while also cherry-picking a context-less anecdote to show us how LaZy people are now. An empathetic visionary.

The internet just gives toxic people a pseudo-anonymous outlet for their impulsive thoughts.

Russell's does not REQUIRE a specific dress code. But I could see their FOH team giving someone a hard time for certain things. It's not yet 2021 everywhere. His sons do a pretty good job down the road, yes. I mean, w/r/t giant Italian steakhouse-genre concepts that appeal to broad masses. There are much better food and beverage programs to enjoy in WNY than these kinds of old-school institutions. We like to celebrate locally-owned favorites, yet often fall victim to favoring generationally-relevant businesses without meaningful re-evaluations. PM for more nuanced suggestions, if you dare.

Tempo never reopened after the pandemic. (I worked there until it closed.) But more importantly: no one mentioning The Pink yet is ludicrous. Shameful. Go to the Pink if you're out late in Allentown. Best dive in town. Great music (not live), solid steak sandwiches, and no bro-vibes (mostly just a bunch of drunken weirdos, as it should be).

Flutie's offense had also become a bit inconsistent and bogged down by the time he was benched, so it's difficult to pick a side in hindsight. Johnson DID drive down the field and get the lead. That DID happen. And in 99.9% of NFL contests, that would have been enough to secure the win. So we cannot deny that. Then again, we lost.

Like Denver all those years, or San Fran more recently. That offensive system, with the right coaching and linemen, produces on the ground with just about any league-worthy RBs.

Just ask Bob Kraft.

Such a prescient question, given what leaked next. Good for you...

The audible to the sneak was the wrong call. The Titans D-line had just reduced down to jam up the interior gaps, essentially daring the Bills to do anything BUT sneak it up the gut. You want Allen with the ball in his hand, moving, and scanning for a receiver to tattoo with a fastball.

And unless the Bills offense can capitalize early and often, the Titans gradually punch away and drag you down into THEIR game.
