  1. I love this! I've been watching him languish for years in DC. He's really good.
  2. I don't live in the area anymore, but have family still in the WNY area. My brother works security for the home games as fun side gig. He loves interacting with the fans, and the environment. Now he feels obligated to work the game because he knows they'll be short staffed. He's ex-military (Marine), a good dude and a person of principle. A trip back to Rochester in that weather as most of you know, is no joke. Maybe I'm jaded, but at a minimum the part-time rank and file staff that make game-day happen should taken care of! Would hazard compensation, or time and half be too much to ask for? I can't get this out of my head. The fact these organizations are willing to risk their employees safety/well being to keep their production on schedule, and not acknowledge peoples sacrifice is crazy. For somewhere around $15 as an average hourly rate, the organization and league should be embarrassed. Sorry for the rant. I guess this is just emblematic of society and business today. Bills...Do the right thing! Compensate these people for going above and beyond!!! Stay safe up there.
  3. The way McDermott and the coaching staff have come up with new agonizing ways to ***** defeat from victory, has left me apathetic, as well. * Really, “sn@tch” is blocked? 😂
  4. “Sean, a pattern has emerged the past couple of seasons. In high pressure situations in the final couple of minutes of the 4th quarter, or OT, when the team has the opportunity to solidify a win, the team is consistently on the losing end. With having the luxury of hindsight, and a number game determining scenarios to reflect upon over the past 18 months, what has been an area of growth, or improvement you’ve identified to help rectify this teams shortcomings at the end of 1 score games?” If I was allowed to ask a follow up question. I’d have all the stats to back up what I’m saying, and wouldn’t let it go until an answer was given on what they were doing to improve. Mistakes happen, we all grow from them. We all adapt and change professionally, and personally. How are we getting better at what we do? Every year I have to change the way I’m doing business to make sure I’m still relevant, and helping ppl solve problems. What growth have we seen with this team over the past 24 months?
  5. It’s all summed up nicely here: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2021/01/09/colts-vs-bills-frank-reichs-calls-help-bills-escape-wild-card-win/4134939001/
  6. The team need a different philosophical approach/direction. Since 13 seconds, it's been steady decline, that's now full on accelerating.
  7. With how he coached in that playoff game a couple of years ago against the Bills, no thank you. He made a number of head scratching calls and played a key role in that defeat. I saw that game as more of Indianapolis losing, than the Bills winning. To those that stated he's the offensive version of McDermott, that seems to be a pretty good comparison.
  8. 13 seconds ruined McDermott, or exposed what he'll always be. I'm baffled at this staffs continued approach of playing not to lose. They have no killer instinct. The OT record and history of coming up small in one score games has to be topic of concern moving forward if you're the owner right? If we've been seeing it for years, they can't continue to bury their head in the sand. This team peaked 3 years ago, a change in philosophy is needed to save the teams window with Allen. I've never seen a team in one season be so close to having one of the top records, or one of the worst, based on less than 10 plays. With the Bills mostly being on the negative side. This team constantly finds new ways to come up small, ironically in similar fashion year to year, week to week. We all know what problem is.
  9. The one thing the NFL has done right, is give teams/fan bases hope. Transformations can happen quickly if you get a couple of lucky finds.
  10. I'm curious as to why you'd think Buffalo would be one of the most difficult places to play in the NFL? Rewarding I get, nice small market feel, good cost of living, you can be part of the community...I don't see difficult. The media in WNY is not exactly hard hitting.
  11. Payton and Wilson were ready for it on the second attempt. A second sack at that point was highly unlikely. In the context of the moment it was a terrible call.
  12. The D could only hold so long. 👆The time of possession being so lopsided put them in a rough spot. The cover 0 two plays in a row was key miscalculation. SP just out coached McDermott.
  13. The D has balled out all night. They are the only reason this game is close. Anyone going after the D is delusional. Look at the TOP.
  14. With the TOP this D has been hung out to dry.
  15. He's the anti Chip Kelly. Why try and score, and impose your will on the opponent?
  16. I'll take the L, lol. My bias from 2021 must be kicking in. I remember that version of him catching the ball in the flat making stuff happen. He averaged over 15 yards a catch that year.
  17. What the offensive coaching staff has done, and last year to an extent with Knox and Hines is confusing. Why invest the assets financially and draft wise, if they don't/didn't have a plan for them in the system. I watched Harty (Harris) with the Saints in 21 (with garbage QB play), and know he was an All-Pro KR specialist in 19. The young man has a quick twitch this team could use. I envisioned a Percy Harvin (Vikings 09-12) role to some extent, with that being a ceiling, and Tony with Chiefs being the floor. He could really help with those quick throws in space, making an opposing DC think a little more about pressure and zone packages, because we know the run game isn't going to garner any respect. Besides Diggs, who has the ability to be a game breaker? You give Harty a respectable contract for a WR coming off an injury, why, if you're not going to use him? You sign Knox to an upper tier TE contract, and then proceed to ignore him for huge parts of 22. You take on Hines' contract, for what? Yes he's hurt, but they were committed to pay him upper tier backup RB money. What was the plan? They could use what this guy brings to the table:
  18. They're not normal people. I referenced that they have best recovery tools anyone could have at their disposal. Mentally and physically. It's not a viable excuse in todays world.
  19. They're elite athletes, not parents looking to recover after a family trip to to Europe, acclimating back into their jobs. They have access to the best recovery tools, diet and performance enhancement professionals. We shouldn't accept a jet lag excuse. They're not flying cattle class either, like the rest of us.
  20. We don't have a true assessment of the talent we have. Who's to say they'd know what to do if they acquired another "blue chip" talent on offense? It took 6 weeks to scheme up a play for Harty, a guy who flashed with Saints whenever he touched the ball. Cook is open in short passing game with space. They have talent.
  21. Correct. I don't want to hear a thing about that throw. An NFL player is expected to make that catch, no excuses. I'll go out on a limb and say most of us when we were in our 20's make that catch in the backyard Thanksgiving game 9/10 times. He's proven to not be reliable in pressure spots.
  22. Recency bias is strong...but I can't argue with your assessment when you factor in how bad the Giants have been.
  23. Perfection? I think we'd all be happy with competent. Half of their games have been downright painful and unpleasant to watch. During game day, I can't understand how they continue to be so bad at time and situational management? They need to establish a plan B and C on offense. Allen to Diggs isn't always going to be possible for 10+ connections a game. You'd think they'd be working on getting additional threats on film against the lesser teams.
  24. You can count on this play being called at the most inopportune time. Never fails.
