Do we know why they made it so much worse? Do they not have enough employees?

Can you tell me a little more about what you liked? Everything he said seemed to be very simple. Stuff that many fans could intuit from these plays. As for him as a color analyst, his voice is very boring, monotone, and he does not articulate smoothly in his explanations, using a lot of filler words as he is thinking of how to say things. Obviously he is a great football mind and knows way more about football, especially the history of the game, than most people. Just in this particular video I don't hear anything that is impressive. It sounds like Belichick is just giving a simple overview of the plays and is ready to get back to coaching.

I think a lot of people have COVID right now or are scared of getting COVID. With the new surges people are back on high alert. Sitting with 60k other people might be questionable for them. Me? If I didn't live on the other side of the country, I would go.

I do think players tend to play hard for their interim coaches. Getting your coach fired seems to be a wake up call for them sometimes. I guess I don't know. It's a tough question. Definately interview him. Bring in as many quality candidates as you can and try to hire the best possible one. If that's Basaccia, great.

Well I think Nick is typically a joke, but that video was not bad at all. The only dumb thing he did was put the Chiefs above everyone else because he is completely biased. That's expected. I don't think he said anything disrespectful about Buffalo or ranked them too low. Weird to not rank the Patriots. I don't know what that is all about. And I agree with him that they let too many teams into the playoffs now. I was against playoff expansion when it happened and I'm still against it.

Pro Football Reference lists Allen's nickname as "General". I like "Winter Soldier" better, though. Mitchell Trubisky is apparently nicknamed "Mr. Biscuit".

I agree, but nicknames are created by someone. They don't just appear out of thin air.

Yeah, and I'm saying they need a new phrase to yell when they are running around on pure adrenaline. Somewhere along the line they learned "Let's Go!" and trained themselves to say it over and over.

"Let's go!" is kind of annoying to me now. Literally everyone in sports screams that. Someone should come up with something new to yell. "We're gonna win!" Or "Yippee!"

Yes, I remember one to Beasley as well. So, in total I think there were 2 to Davis, 1 to Beasley, and 1 to Knox that were all miscommunications. And most of them came on 3rd down, although I think the one to Beasley was on 2nd down. I don't think it has been a theme this season, just in that game. It could also be that Saleh had some good defensive looks that made the option routes harder to define for the pass catcher and QB.

Every year has bad QBs. If anything, I think there are more good, young QBs in the league now than there has been in awhile.

Resurgence of defenses, would be my guess. Teams are figuring out how to handle the elite passing offenses like the Chiefs, Bills, etc. Particularly early on in the year offenses were struggling to handle defensive adjustments.

It all comes down to the Steelers pass rush. If they can make Mahomes miserable, they have a chance.

Personally, I think the Bills should practice in the stadium more often, especially when weather is going to be a factor.

They aren't going to pile on one of their players to the media. They know the issues.

I am 6'3 and I have no circulation issues, but I do bump my head on everything. This world was made for 5'9.

His blood has to circulate a long way, you know. He's 6'5".

I would have rather had Lawson back than Phillips, honestly. Lawson at least played within the system. Phillips left his gap responsibilities to go chase the QB. He was a real liability for the defense. He did one thing and only one thing, and that was rush the QB, to the detriment of everything else. He got his sacks and a big contract, which is what he wanted. He came on One Bills Live one time and Tasker asked him to explain to the audience the difference between 1 Tech and 3 Tech, just so those who didn't know could learn. Phillips had no clue. Tasker had to walk him through it and explain to the audience himself. It was one of the most painful things I've listened to. That told me basically what I needed to know. Phillips is a guy you tell to just go get the QB. He is not capable of much else.

Did you wake up one morning and decide that you wanted to be the most insufferable Bills fan on the planet? By the way, I agree with you on Lawson. I don't think he is good enough to be on our team. If they want to sign him to the practice squad for insurance, fine. By all means. But the constant doom and gloom, crying about Allen's contract, crying about possibly being one and done in the playoffs, constantly talking down the best team we have had in decades... it sucks to read your posts, dude. Can we have a break if the Bills win this Saturday? Can you agree to not crap all over the Bills and everything they do for a few days?

The Bills rank better than them in rushing, you know.

That's funny, but also the Bills were in a much more embarrassing situation before McDermott got here, so I can't laugh as much I should.

I'm not finished with this season yet, personally. I'll be happy to discuss this in a few weeks , after we celebrate a Bills Superbowl, of course.

Everyone is tired of your nonsense, so just stop already.

Allen has a much larger body of work than Wentz did. And if you are still doubting Allen after all he has done, there's no helping you. You must feel very lonely because everyone else knows he is elite.

I am excited to move on from Hughes and Addison next year and really develop our defensive line of the future. I think Hughes is highly overrated by Bills fans. He is a solid, average player. My main issue is he disappears for so many games. He'll have a great game, then do nothing for weeks and weeks. And, obviously, his lack of sack production.
