  1. Couple of tight ones in there though lol
  2. I saw that and am considering just burning the Jets picks then figuring it out
  3. I need some advice on a large pool I’m in. The Rules are you can only pick against a team twice... I’ve yet to pick against the Jets... do I burn a pick now, take the chargers, burning my 2nd Jags pick... or take the Saints? So far I’ve picked... PIT, CLE, NE, TB, HOU and Baltimore.. against NYG, CIN, LV, LAC, JAX and PHI
  4. I know they are missing players but even in there best years, at full health they get consistently out adjusted.. I also don’t buy into looking at today’s score as a plus. KC mauled us, just did so methodically
  5. He is constantly out of position, and it isn’t a new issue, continuing to allow it is self defeating... and I don’t think you can make a reasonable argument the D could be worse without Fraiser, changing a dreadful unit can’t deep six anything
  6. This defense, even in its better years under McD was always a little overrated. The scheme is very simple, very plain. It can work with great players, but injuries haven’t helped this year. Truthfully though, they could never adjust against good offenses, even at their best... so 2 things that could be done right now in the hopes of subtle improvement. 1. Fire Fraiser 2. Move Edmunds outside... or bench him
  7. My condolences PTR... I worked in banking for many years and dealt with account closures and things of the sort many times, every state has slightly different rules, but generally, an elder advocate would have little to no say regarding finances, not related to final expenses, and certainly no authority to close accounts, unless your father specifically granted that permission in writing. Any other questions feel free to reach out
  8. Cleveland. Some players have intimated that the Yanks and Dodgers did this too. Cleveland may be the true victim. Fitting for that cities history
  9. Cleveland would be the team with a complaint to lodge, they lost to the Yankees that year, but the Astros still had a domino effect on seeding, and the Yankees were a wildcard with Boston as division winners
  10. Exactly, when you allow the bigger picture and punish the side effect, I don’t like it
  11. The contention is simple, I don’t condone it. I’m mearly stating they allowed it, all teams have stolen signs, since forever, and MLB has basically said, hey Houston, you were really good at this thing we allowed, pay for it. Did the same with steroids
  12. You believe deterrence is the goal... I’d contend it’s PR and in turn disingenuous
  13. Everyone steals signs, everyone always has, MLB basically just suspended people for being too good at something they’ve allowed for ages. And equally importantly something they can not and will not stop going forward
  14. I enjoy the old school vibe they are bringing, tough to see them beating KC though. Baltimore loves to shorten games, Titans were an awful matchup for them
  15. The opposite is true, fans always put too much on a QB. I can find you plenty of play callers that elevate less talented QBs but you won’t find QBs who do the opposite, almost ever
  16. I tend to think that falls on Mcd, not Daboll, it’s likely a directive from the top. Good play designs by Daboll, baffling timing which likely only partially falls on him
  17. Everybody knows how tough this was, how it will stick with us fans. I for one hope this sticks with the coaches and players. I see people giving Allen an F grade for the 2nd half and such, while I don’t want to absolve his performance, to me, what I take from this, is I hope this is McDermotts lightbulb moment, the game he looks back on every time he needs to decide to try and win or try not to lose. I said it at the end of the first half, when he inexplicably settled for 3, it wouldn’t be good enough, it almost never is. Like quite a few other times this season, Allen was tasked with managing a lead, instead of trying to increase it. And it’s incredibly hard to judge a player in those instances. Worse yet, not even that feels uniform, settle for 3 to end the half, then turn down a long FG to go for it on 4th and 26?, Even considering Hauschs lack of success from 50+, he had to have better odds. Call 3 passes after the first down in OT, when all you needed was 6-7 yds for a chance? It all just feels so random. And it’s why Allen tried dumb things like the lateral, that coaching style puts more pressure on the players. All we can hope is they learn from it. Go Bills!
  18. Hindsight always assumes identical outcomes without considering all the factors. Lamar would not be doing here, what he is in Baltimore, period Drew Brees begs to differ with you, Alex Smith as well
  19. The most accurate post in history. Jauron ball killing us again
  20. A.. this is not a top 10 D. B. My comment clearly makes the point that our coaches don't WANT games to be taken over, they are actively TRYING to do just enough to win, not throttle the opponent
  21. Legit question, why does everyone on this board act like QBs missing throws is exclusively a Bills thing? All QBs do it, multiple times, every game. But most QBs don’t have coaches who give them no margin for error BY DESIGN
  22. A little post game reaction for you all. I see a lot of people already come out and put this game on Josh Allen mostly because all credit and all blame tend to go to the QB no matter what but bills fans I don’t think are looking completely in the right direction. It doesn’t mean Allen was perfect he missed that deep ball, and one other very makeable throw as I recall it. But the real problem is how easy it is to single out those plays, Every QB in every game misses throws, The difference, other QBs are granted opportunities to make up for that. Sean McDermott actively coaches to not lose games as opposed to winning them, Routinely getting conservative with any lead whatsoever, or even a score down in turn disrupting offensive rhythm. Down 19-16, in the final minutes is actually where Sean McDermott wants to be he wants games to hinge on 1 or 2 plays, And will take the safest route to get there. Take the final drive after moving the ball affectively to the 35, without a huddle, They huddle on offense and stop trying to move the ball because they figured they were close enough with a minute left. OT hinged on one play just like McDermott wanted it, and this time we didn’t get the bounce. Some fans will say we are a QB away from contention I say we need a coach who actively gives a QB the same chances others get. It’s just weird having Dick Jauron again
