    Ironically perhaps the greatest thing to happen to the Buffalo Bills in the last 18 years was Trump not buying the Bills. Our gain was the rest of the countries loss.  

    I'd be willing to suffer that kind of ownership over something frivolous like a sports team (that I happen to love despite my brain's otherwise apparent logic)...

     

    ...IF it meant he wouldn't have pursued his current ownership position.

    And you want to talk about douche bags? Eli Manning and Bryce Harper are likely the two biggest douch bags in all of professional sports, but they're happily employed. 

     

    I'd love to read more about this. 

     

    Defending Chad Kelly: priceless.

    really no good choice. 

     

    My choice would be priceline 3 start hotel express deal  downtown for $88...uber to there. after the game. Prolly going to be the Adamas Mark..ya may walk into some mold in the shower..but I would only lay my head there and drive home in the AM and shower there

     

    Uber to the Sanborn gonna be at least $80 after he game i would think.plus ya got to  get there?

     

    O

    Interesting. I figured the cost would possibly approach $100 for such a long uber ride from the stadium. Thanks.

    How true.

     

    Does anyone remember the Marv Levy emphasis on Special Teams? Marv was a Special Teams afficionado.. he was crazy about them. That's what created Mark Kelso and Steve Tasker. That's what wins games. That's what is needed now.

     

    If I send a 1-800-Edible basket to McBean, will they get the message?

     

    I don't remember Kelso that way. I remember him primarily at safety. Started at Free Safety the majority of the games each of his seven or eight seasons (except for one year he got hurt or something).

    Was Derek Anderson not available in August?  Not buying it.

     

    Anderson, in a very recent interview (last week after signing) with the same WGR guys, did delicately allude to plans/circumstances (that eventually didn't work out) which prevented him from signing with anyone in the off-season. He was not specific about it, but clearly had some other situation he was prioritizing (until it fell through).

    He's not a good player by any means but sadly enough he may be our 2nd best starter on the line

    I agree, sadly. But is it possible he's actually better than "not a good player"? Has he grown into his role over the last several years, as lineman sometimes do? 

     

    I thought he was consistently hot trash a couple years back, and then only occasionally over the past season or two. But less often these days. 

     

    Is our/my old narrative out-of-touch now?

  7. No offense, but the offensive additions you've floated in your article appear completely out of touch with how McBeane seems to be constructing this roster. While they've taken flyers on several older vets (with unfortunate outcomes...ahem, Davis and Boldin), they haven't given up assets to acquire these players. It's just not in their DNA to trade for 30+ year-old WRs nearing the ends of their contracts. That seems obvious. 

     

    I don't hate some of these suggestions, but I do think it's bizarre to posit them without also acknowledging how incredibly unlikely they are.

    ...ok why Terry R?.......

    ...because he was fired from Tennessee's staff very recently, when Vrabel was hired. (I think I'm right on this one.) 

     

    Same reason Leslie Frazier was celebrated after the victory in Minnesota.

    In a year with absolute awful kicking throughout the league, you appreciate Hauscha a lot more.

     

     

    btw, what player was offsides today on a kick-off?

    Lacey. Same guy who had another bad special teams play before downing that critical punt inside the 5.

    This isn't rocket science.  I guarantee you that if all I had to do all day was learn how to read a defense...I could do it.  

    Could you simultaneously visualize your many reads and adjustments and options and protections for the play just called into your headset, recite it to the offense, then scan the moving and feigning defensive alignment, all while directing shifts and protections and whatnot over crowd noise AND anticipating the high-stakes, chaotic, violent blur that is a 3-6 second offensive snap?

     

    Of course you could, right?

    i'm worried about facing pettine. he's gonna throw some new looks at allen and he will bring the heat with some disguised blitzes.

     

    i made the point in another thread that josh should be in the shotgun on every down with a 2 back set.  he wouldn't have to back peddle....

     

    would get a better read of the defense and....

     

    with a two back set he 'll have a ton of options to counter what gets thrown at him.

     

    bills get some chunk plays rushing and come out with a win 27-24.

    I like a lot of this post.

     

    Pettine will likely dial up some crazy overload blitzes, and the Bills o-line has had issues with protection on a schematic level. Allen, as we saw with his college film, also has issues correctly diagnosing pressure pre-snap. So if the Bills offense gets off-schedule or behind the sticks, look for Green Bay to attack.

     

    Shotgun is one tool that could help Allen better see the field, and I've always been a fan of diverse, loaded backfield looks (the kind, coincidentally, that McCarthy likes to employ over the years), but I don't think there's a silver bullet (or golden ticket or whatever) that solves anything against an NFL defensive coordinator for longer than a quarter or two. 

     

    Would love to see Croom coming out of the backfield. His athleticism needs to be exploited.

    Actually that's the difference between a playoff team and average Joe's 

     

     

    Millennial argument? As if an entire generation can be summed up by a single comment. God the over generalization is annoying. Let me help you out: 

     

    We live at home, have no motivation, swimming in debt, zero accountability, super entitled, blah blah blah. 

     

    Not to take it out on you but it I hate hearing the stereotype.

    Should he have added: hypersensitive on social media?

    Oh hey look Star is as bad as he was in Carolina. Quality move.

     

    Oh hey look Kelvin Benjamin isn't very good. Another Carolina guy.

     

    How are Watkins and Dareus performing?

    Hey, don't trip over your narratives and confirmation biases. They get in the way sometimes.
