The Red King

Wait, isn't his brother in trouble? Couldn't the lying peeps be lying about his brother?

This is a well-thought out post, with a lot of logic behind it. We attributed the drop in Allen's performance to injury, as it was stark and immediate. But they claimed he could play through it, and the injury wasn't a contributing factor. His relationship failing certainly would make sense as a distraction, and one that would upset Diggs.

13 seconds. That and the guy, by his own admission does not make in-game adjustments. They have/had the talent to overcome that against mid/poor teams. When you hit the elites, they adjust. Look at the Cinci games. Frazier had a lot of time to prepare after seeing his D shredded in a drive and a half and he changed nothing. And...this may shock and amaze you...it got shredded again, in the same way, in the playoffs. You turn a failing scheme into a working one through adjustments. Not by hoping the football fairy comes down out of the sky and magically makes the opposing offense change their plan into something yours works on. Frazier believes in fairies. We get smoked against elites in the playoffs. That's not scapegoating. If they put up a fight, if Frazier made adjustments and it still just didn't work then yeah, you could claim scapegoat. But he didn't. He's all "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead", and then gets surprised when he gets blown out of the water by the aforementioned torpedoes. No scapegoating here. Frazier is a relic who overcame his utter lack of adjustments and flexibility through sheer overmatching of opponents, talent level to talent level. I could be a top-tier boxer if I got to fight high-school seniors. Maybe even 2nd rank. But put me then up against a trained boxer and my butt would hit the mat faster then a QB drilled by Von Miller.

We are cursed anyway. What does the curse do, specifically? If it reverses fortunes of successful, lucky teams, might it invert our bad luck to good?

He's not the guy that would get us to the Super Bowl. But, that doesn't mean he's not a good coach/coordinator. There are a number of mid/low tier teams he'd be an upgrade for. He might even be able to carry a team into the playoffs. He just won't take them farther then that. For a rebuilding team that needs experience and confidence that would be huge. You know "bridge QBs"? Frazier could be a "bridge coach/DC".

And? Doesn't excuse his imconsistant play last season, and does not put my faith in him for this one. The Jets game still haunts me, and that was just one key drop. Now Hopkins here, on the other hand, I kinda remember him making a clutch catch, in a ton of traffic, to win a game that looked lost, but I can't quite seem to recall... 🤔

If Davis would stop making critical drops at key times a number of people here would feel far more secure about the WR room atm. Hopkins is clutch. ATM, Davis is not.

WFT actually grew on me, tbh.

Seahawks, opening kickoff of the second half. Was a complete surprise, we ran under and caught it. Ref ruled their player signaled for a fair catch and we interfered.

For the people wondering about KC. We play each AFC division every three years. For the other two AFC divisions we play the team that finished in the same place as us. For some godforsaken reason this doesn't swap home/away every year, but rather every two years. So, three seasons ago we got them because we played the AFC West, and that was in Buffalo. The next two seasons we got them because we finished in the same spot they did, and because of that two year crap I mentioned earlier, both just coincidentally were in KC. Now, this season we play the whole AFC West again, and since we played them in Buffalo the last time we played the West, this one's in KC. So, thanks to a perfect storm we get three straight games in KC. If we play them next season (we need to finish in the same place as them) it will be in Buffalo.

Nobody commenting on the Hoodie's surveillance wall (starts @ 1:18)? I thought that was the coldest one out of them all. Loved it, mind you, but dayum. 😁

Yeah, that is still what I most remember. Buffalo was actually recovering from that 💩-show EJ performed earlier. Wait! The Chiefs refused to play overseas this season? So, just like that they get an advantage over us? It's just that easy to say "Nah."? This actually has my blood boiling right now.

To be clear, it said it was proven he wasn't there. Nothing ambiguous. Outright proven innocent. I was one of the ones blasted here for saying I want to wait for actual facts before crucifying the kid. She derailed his career and life. Both he and the Bills should sue her. She cost us a potentially legendary punter, and cost him so much more.

But is it? Is it really? 😉

...go check out the Hopkins thread. 😆

Lots of sports peeps all saying Hopkins is going to a lot of different teams.

I was being sarcastic there. I should have added an emoji. 😆

By that measuring stick it's not just Bass. Every single player to ever play for the Bills, be it Peterman, Flutie, Johnson, Smith, Thomas and even Allen are all worthless, since not a one of them have helped Buffalo win it all. Maybe someday Buffalo will get a good player, even just one...

Keep in mind he was doing good with taking the short throws and checkdowns until injuring his elbow. Given the type of injury it was speculated that could have effected his shorter throws, which is why he went into "bombs away" mode the rest of the season.

Dear god, why? Those are horrible, in most every aspect.

The rest being awful drops, especially at critical moments?

I would have been very, very concerned if he hadn't at least considered it, tbh.

That seems awfully cold. You can't just tell our players "Whelp, s*** happens. Walk it off, we're resuming in five." I also remember when it happened, people were all, "I don't care about the season. I just hope he's alright!". Funny how out of the moment some people do a complete about-face.
