Rock-A-Bye Beasley

I believe you, but I’ll say Josh could have an entire bad season and I’d still feel better about him than the coach, who I’ve been saying is a liability for years already

allen is the only reason these coaches are still employed

We were heavily out-coached in both playoff games. This team has the talent that is going to have to overcome the coach to win it all

And how does winning the dolphins game by 3 effect how we view the team? if Thompson is able to get a 1st down at midfield or waddle doesn’t have 2 big drops we are talking about one of the worst losses in team history

I agree with the overall sentiment here, but a couple things: 1) The State putting $600mil toward the stadium is what I meant by investing in Buffalo. Currently it's scheduled to go to Orchard Park. Still a win for upstate, but I think a wasted opportunity. 2) I never said bars, restaurants and shopping are unique to Buffalo. Not sure if you were implying that. 3) Yes, Buffalo is never going to be a top destination city. I think you're overstating what I think a downtown stadium would do. To me it's just trying to build some semblance of a respectable city center. Not saying the stadium would have done that all by itself. 4) I left Buffalo not too long after college, came back briefly then left again, but I am 100% for a stadium downtown.

Well the study says most fans spending at these stadiums are local. If you're contending that point, fine I guess. Buffalo is more spread out than most cities. I'm saying even someone coming from as close as East Aurora might get a hotel and dinner/shopping outside the stadium. Not to mention the Canadians wanting to drink during the game and not have to cross the border immediately after. So even if the benefit is minimal it's still a unique case compared to most of the stadiums studied.

You and others keep parroting this. However, I think it’s misguided. Buffalo is a unique situation, and the comprehensive study on the impact of football stadiums on economies doesn’t directly apply. reasons they say the economic impact is negligible for the stadiums studied: ”As for the rosy economic projections conjured up to support stadium subsidies? They are doomed by design. Easy-to-observe spending on tickets, concessions, and other related consumption in and around stadiums comes largely from local residents who were already spending their income locally. A family that buys hot dogs, peanuts, and popcorn at the game would have otherwise spent that money at some other local business, perhaps going out to dinner or a movie. Stadiums don’t boost host economies, because stadium-related spending mostly isn’t new spending. It’s the same spending reallocated to a different location.” You tell me, does that sound like Buffalo? a lot of Buffalo’s problems are due to how spread out everything is. People are traveling from all over the region and Canada to the middle of nowhere for games currently. Hopefully you can agree that putting the stadium near other attractions and hotels would capture more tourist and local spending. If not, then I suspect this is a clear case of confirmation bias. You didn’t want a downtown stadium, then you heard about a study, and now you won’t stop talking about it. Also, all of the stadiums studied don’t share the state with the largest city in the country. Getting the state to invest more in Buffalo is a good thing. Otherwise that money is just going to build another courthouse in Brooklyn or something.

That's just flat out not true. The extra money spent on infrastructure is needed anyway. It would be a way to get the state to invest in Buffalo rather than downstate for once. Oh well, I'll probably never go back after this past Christmas' storm. Making my family come to me from now on.

Hell yeah. Poyer and no Edmunds. The window stays open.

If he has hated McDermott for years then he’s been proven right with 13 seconds and other playoff loses (and close wins against 3rd string rookie QBs) where coaching is the main issue. sounds like his opinion should be trusted

Oh I am reading between the lines, but not the way you’re thinking. If McDermott publicly fires his DC and assistant head coach his seat gets hotter. Putting it this way is a deflection and self-preservation technique. It’s not altruistic. but yes you’re right it also benefits Frazier. Due to the timing, I think they were hoping Frazier got hired somewhere else but knew all along he’d be gone.

This time last year we were what?! I seem to remember him dodging questions about one of the biggest playoff choke jobs of all time. This year he’s only probably lying about the departure of his DC

If it’s so simple then why don’t they just say that?

Anyone believe Leslie Frazier is returning to coaching after a year off? Why does this organization continue to lack transparency with its fan base? I understand withholding certain things, but not in a situation like last year after 13 seconds and now this offseason starts with them straight up lying to us.

“unbearable” who called the timeouts during 13 seconds allowing KC to adjust. There’s audio to go with the video in case you need more proof

we are talking about having two #1 receivers, and Evans would be making less than the current going rate for a #2

probably because it’s a multi-generational mistake that will cost billions. So any small chance of avoiding it, through awareness and public outcry of how our money is used, is worth a shot

id give him a 2 year deal if that’s what it takes. I understand at this point it probably won’t happen. I just wish more fans appreciated him a bit more

He’s an All Pro. Most teams and fan bases highly value them. Around here we value young age over all pro Which of our players aren’t aging?

Fixed it for you

Did the coaches run out of gas too? There’s an important distinction between failing at something and continuing to make the wrong choices AND failing at something. for example, Gabe Davis’ drops are a problem but he was on the jugs machine after practice. Still had a huge drop in the game vs. McDermott calls timeouts on defense allowing KC to see the defensive alignment. Kelce on video proving it, then he continues to call defensive timeouts mistakingly thinking he’s the one getting some sort of advantage, but he miraculously gives up 1st down on every single instance of that in the playoffs. You’d think the D would stop them once just by chance. The process is broken

sound like an idiot thing to say considering

Exactly. some of us were cringing while our fellow Bills fans were claiming it’s a year of destiny. This coach just isn’t smart enough, and I’ll continue to hope beyond hope Josh can overcome it a DC to solve the problem for a defensive head coach?

Those that hope a team is “dumb enough” to hire Frazier; What’s really the difference between Frazier and McDermott as HC? Leadership? Maybe, but the team comes out flat in that game so what’s that really worth. Our in-conference rivals are probably thinking “I hope the Bills are dumb enough to keep McDermott”

Oh so too scared to take any chances and ever win the big one. Got it
