[WR Suggestion - Bills should sign ASAP]

I’ve heard enough about this guy.  This is the NFL - not Wyoming.  The guy wasn’t drafted for a reason.  

[Bills vs. Vikings 1st Half Game Day Thread]

I’m sick of hearing how Benjamin is so good at catching jump balls.  

[Josh Allen Fired Up!]

I’m not sold. His accuracy was atrocious. While that’s likely to get marginally better, it’s a pipe dream to think it’s going to get where it needs to be.  We can complain about WR talent all we want, but innacurate throws are innacurate throws, regardless of who’s at WR

[Clueless TV announcers]

I think it may have been the first football game Tom McCarthy watched in his life (although it sure sounded like he wasn't even watching what was in front of him).

[Did Vontae Davis retire at halftime? Yes, yes he did!]

Gives me so much confidence on how these guys will spend all that free agent money next year.  

[Caption This!]

So much for “high character guys”

[I believe yesterday was a bit of a fluke]

Good post.  Let's watch the game on Sunday and I think we'll be in better position on how to assess things.  By the end of Sunday, we'll see:

- Allen start a game (hopefully)

- The team play at home

- How they respond to a bad loss (last year, they responded quite well)

- What adjustments the coaching staff makes after seeing their personnel in regular season action 

 

Next week could very well be a disaster too, but let's at least watch the game, see how it plays out and be in a more educated position to make assessments about where we're headed.

[Sai Maiorana - LeSean McCoy on Playing in Buffalo Now: 'The Fans Are Like Family']

Perhaps McCoy could have learned something from a bit of discipline.  He seemed shocked to find out he had to go to class.  

 

“For 30 minutes, LeSean sat there with his parents and was accosted by Joe about the rules of Penn State and ‘this is the way it’s going to be, this is what you’re going to do, it’s going to be about academics,’ and LeSean was sitting there saying to himself, ‘Why is he talking to me like this?”

["Josh Allen is blowing people away" - Chris Simms]

Chris Simms knows all about being an overhyped, big armed quarterback without accuracy or intangibles.  He must relate well to Allen.

[Jones will be fine per his dad]

It's probably nothing.  He could have very well been caught in the nude with his brother's sister.  His brother found out and confronted him.  Then he started saying crazy stuff.  This would mean he made a bad decision vs having something mentally wrong.  As the Bills indicated, they are "gathering facts."

[Predict the Saturday Wild Card games]

It’s hard to believe the Bills beat both KC and Atlanta this year - both on the road 

[Which player steps up this Sunday?]

2 hours ago, BillsRdue said:

The TEAM steps up.  Coach McD emphasizes the team game and the Bills come out with high energy and a never say die attitude. They do not let up and we get  key plays from a variety of players.  Hyde, Poyer picks. Eddie Y with a sack. Kyle with a sack. Humber with a sack. Davis with a sack. KB. multiple third down conversions. O'Leary with another TD. Clay with 6 catches for 74yds. Thompson with a 30+ yd TD.  Tyrod runs for 3 first downs and goes 250 2-0.  Murphy with 50 yds, Shady with 50 yds, Tolbert with 30 yds, TT with 40yds.   

 

Haushka clutch 3-3 on FG's.  Colton locks Jags inside their 20  2x.  Even Tate has a 25 yd punt return, but nothing big on KO's.  

Bills 23- Jags 17

 

Then it's on to our REVENGE PARTY IN NE!

 

 

 

 

When is the last time we had 4 sacks in a game?  This is pretty crazy coming from a team that runs the ball on half of offensive snaps and a defense that can't get to the QB.  Not sure what you're basing this on.

[3 options heading in to the offseason]

None of the above - build around Peterman 

[Bills Reaction to Tate's 22 yd catch and run IS this team]

I was waiting for Ed to throw the flag for excessive celebration

[Lee Smith: EJ Manuel didn't have what he has now]

A Lee Smith holding call used to be about as common as a Jerry Hughes personal foul.

[I miss McDermott clapping on sidelines]

He was clapping like crazy on Zay's 3rd down drop.

[Revised season win loss total]

Pretty funny how one win (at home against a team that was due for a clunker) makes people actually think we can win 11 or 12 games. If they get blown out against the Falcons, these predictions will go back to 5 or 6. Can we just take it one game at a time and enjoy the fact that they aren't beating themselves and there seems to actually be hope for the future.

[[closed]A Zay Catch does not mean a W]

I'm pretty surprised at the coverage and reaction to Zay's drop - people fail to be bringing up the important point that the catch does not get him in the end zone and does not win the game for us. Yes, it was a huge drop and we would have had a shot at another play, but by no means did it mean a W.
