  1. Hasn't Roman failed to develop a QB, beyond the gimmicky RPOs and Read-Options and QB designed runs, at THREE (3) different stops now? Kaepernick, Taylor, and now Jackson have all failed to progress into dangerous passers once NFL defenses adjust to the dual threat stuff. "Make him a QB" has been and is STILL the way to defense these Roman QBs. Maybe it's also the OC. Maybe. (I'm not sold, necessarily, just sayin.)
  2. I think Mongo is a starting caliber G in the NFL, who has added value as a backup C. Basically, his current role on the Bills. Moving him to C weakens two positions. The Bills need to get better, not worse. Either restructure Morse or let him play out his current deal. Do NOT intentionally weaken the o-line. Dumping Morse, with his dead cap figure, won't help to sign Williams when you also have to capably fill the hole at C or RG that cut creates.
  3. For the record, Rivers was previously undefeated in Wild Card round games. 4-0 or 5-0 if memory serves. Ergo, we actually did something no other team has ever done before: defeat a Rivers team in the first round of the playoffs. Just sayin
  4. We fail to properly use just about everything, mate. Stop trying to take credit!
  5. Thanks and eff Tempo lol Worked there for 8 years until the pandemic hit. Best damned 2nd job in the world, if you don't like sleep or free time. Got to know a number of Bills and Sabres folks over the years. Lots of stories.
  6. Take it easy and have some empathy. The Bills matter. Crappy jobs that don't pay enough to keep employees loyal and motivated don't deserve devotion.
  7. Calling in "sick" isn't really an option for a lot of workers. I know that when restaurants are actually open, I can't get a Saturday off without some serious advance planning. And even then, sometimes not at all. A while back I got married on a Saturday. Not a single one of my fellow Tempo servers (there were three with whom I was VERY tight) could get off work even with AMPLE notice.
  8. Against the Pats and the 49ers they ran some 5-man line with Edmunds at one edge and Hughes at the other, and Klein in the middle. An alignment like that could be smart against the Ravens.
  9. Except we already did, earlier this season. Henry didn't get his, minus a beastly stiff-arm. Tanny DID get his, however.
  10. Allen carried the Bills today. Minus the unsuccessful run-check on 3rd-and-1 (after two consecutive runs) that looks to have maybe been his call at the line, and the 2019 wild card-esque killer sack in the 4th quarter (taking them out of field goal range, right?)...minus those two plays, Allen was better than the Colts.
  11. I saw Edmunds making solid run stops in the middle gaps and playing the pass more assertively than we've seen prior. I thought he had a much more impactful game than Milano, who seemed to have some unusual difficulty blitzing and covering.
  12. Next week is another crack at it. You can do better.
  13. They traded a 1st for Buckner, actually. Kinda like our Diggs trade, only less impactful.
  14. To be fair (cue the Letterkenny gifs), I seem to recall something last year along the lines Giuseppe mentioned. Josh getting too hyped in front of the home fans was a thing/talking point/soundbite/something for a bit. At least in my imperfect memory.
  15. Unpopular opinion: I actually don't like the protection design on the play above ^^^. Relying so heavily on a very small WR and a rookie RB to hold blocks against blitzers...that ain't gonna work most times, and it kind of reminds of a play earlier in the season where a WR in motion, I want to say Gabriel Davis, was supposed to block...maybe Joey Bosa?...on a play. It did not exactly work out. The defenders on such plays ARE accounted for, technically, but...
  16. Will be next year; just finalized 2 seats in lower 300s (oxymoron: lower upper deck) around the 30. I've typically made it to about 2-3 games/year since I returned to WNY in 2012. Silly story time (stop reading now if you hate football and/or fun): Was at the last playoff win with a friend in '95 as high school seniors (hell of a day...minimalist underage tailgate in the snow, crazy offensive output (especially the Canadian Missile), friend had just had wisdom teeth removed so we had Vicodin, et cetera...). Often had privileged access to the team as a server at Tempo during the Chan/Rex/Marrone/McD tenures. Watched the 2013 season opener against the Patriots FROM the Patriots box (had waited on them the night before). It was super corporate tame and lame so the two of us COMPLETELY drained their suite fridge of all booze by halftime and then met up with friends in the Rockpile for the 2nd half (the Bills had made the game close and then even went ahead before losing late). EJ looked like he might be something based on that game and then the next against Carolina. How times have changed...
