Drew Brees us really bad at this analyst thing. Seems 5 seconds behind and then a harsh voice. But hot damn what an upgrade and early Xmas present over collinsworth!

Think he’s also had a couple awkward exchanges with Tirico already but I appreciate his analysis so far.

Awesome. More Gabe Davis, please

Very, very overrated.

Dawkins has been so disappointing this year. I don’t even know if “hall of very good” is applicable. Kind of hall of just a guy, this year at least.

[Bills v. Saints Game Day Thread First Half - 11/25/21]

Saints getting chippy and it’s hyping them up. Kind of playing as if they think this team is soft. Need some grit tonight, boys.

[11/25/21 Thanksgiving Gameday Bills at Saints Pregame Thread]

Honestly think we dodged an old gritty bullet with the Ingram news. Thought he’d give us similar issues as last week with the way he’s been running this year. I know nothing about this Tony Jones kid but can only hope it’s a downgrade.

This OP won’t quit with this. Zero chance McD takes the SC job. 

Yeah this was the person bombarding the game day thread with the same USC stuff. Now this bizarre thread. All the credit in the world if it somehow happens I guess but I think the point has been made.

Culture though right?

I find it a little concerning, not going to lie. Last week and the Jags game were beyond embarrassing, now this and the murmurs of him and Moss partying. Something to keep an eye on anyway.

[We’re Sawft: SAWFT!!!!]

This team, and Wyatt Teller. Good lord. Cheers to Spencer Brown on getting healthy quick, he may really be the difference.

[What are your expectations for the rest of the season?]

AFC is going to be a slug fest and we're clearly in it, so I'm expecting entertainment at least. This team doesn't deserve it right now but the AFC is a mess so we can still punch our ticket to the playoffs, and that's the first goal. Plus there's the extra game this year which is still so weird to me. I expect more interest in this Saints game than I originally thought I would have. Can't lose anything at this point.

[SNF: Pittsburgh at Chargers]

Win's a win. Chargers are scary. Rising in a cluttered AFC with a roster to get it done. They scare me more than a Henry-less Titans. Ekeler is the difference between us and them and I feel like Keenan Allen has clocked a 9 catch for 112 yard game, every single game he's played for the past 200 years. He's up their with HOFers in terms of reliability and consistency, just puts in work every single time he plays.

[Who would’ve thought that after a 4-1 start (and beating the Chiefs) we’d lose three games to the AFC South]

I hope not. Hopefully we can get this thing back on track.

 

I know we need to play better but we can still win this division. And, even though we’re not playing like it lately, we’re still the best team in the division.

 

By the way, who is the doom consume team?

 

I was just referring to rampant negativity, doom consume as if people are looking for reasons why it's only going to get worse. It might, Saints aren't awful, and they have a running game.

[Week 12: Bills at Saints on Thanksgiving]

Mark Ingram folks, don't overlook him. OG in the Henry/Taylor mold and he picked up 5+ ypc today. Having a surprisingly great year. It would be embarrassing, but considering our clear issues against the run and a 4 day turnaround, I'd be ready ready for it.

[Who would’ve thought that after a 4-1 start (and beating the Chiefs) we’d lose three games to the AFC South]

For the doom consume team, Mark Ingram is somehow currently 4th in the NFL in rushing, and is loving life back in New Orleans. He was making Jonathan Taylor runs back when Jonathan Taylor was 11. Bills need to figure this out tomorrow or the embarrassment could get worse.

[Last year's awesome season actually hurt us this year]

Can barely type due to the overwhelming flashbacks of posts from the "RBs are a dime a dozen" crowd during the last 5 years or so.

[DL Rotation Is Costing Us]

I think it's tough to declare there isn't any blue chip talent, because of the rotation yeah? Some chicken/egg going on. One of our four recent draft picks in the top two rounds should be blue chip or close to blue chip talent, otherwise that's a bigger issue. Maybe they're just not seeing the field enough.

[Josh Allen: Bills aren’t executing and that starts with me]

It’s hard to be an MVP candidate when your O line can’t protect and you don’t have a running game to help open up the passing game. Our offense is 1 dimensional  

 

I'm pretty sure he jumped and blindly just whipped the ball into the air on that second pick. Like a panicking 9 year old. Trying to find video. I love Josh and think he's the long-term answer, but that stuff has to pretty much completely stop for him to take any serious next step toward MVP. 

[Week 11: Around the League]

I said a few weeks ago that the Chargers looked to have the right pieces to be the scariest team in the AFC aaaaand Pittsburgh just tied it up lol. This year is crazy. The AFC is truly a mess right now. Maybe Indy is a legitimate problem, especially if Henry remains out? 

 

Arizona rises to the top of my power rankings, although I still think Dallas unfortunately will be in the discussion at the end of the year, even with today's loss.

[Beane or McDermott?]

I haven't heard a thing about a disagreement. You could have just framed this as pick one, get rid of one, that's enough of a discussion starter.

 

I'm not ready to toss either yet, but for the sake of the question, I'll keep Beane. It could be emotional right now and may change tomorrow but there have just been too many lame calls by McDermott this year in my opinion. Perhaps the math or whatever supports it, but it's just kind of weak for example to even attempt a 49 yard field goal in the rain. Was it also Jacksonville where they let the last few seconds tick away on a final punt? Rather than getting the ball with one or two seconds left and trying something. 

 

I realize some of that contradicts McDermott's choice to go for it in Tennessee, but maybe he's being more timid because of that?

It's good to get this outta the way now.  Let the boys feel this.  Historically the Thanksgiving Day game will be fun.   

Wait didn’t they “get this outta the way” against Jacksonville? Or actually wasn’t that in Tennessee? I remember many weren’t too concerned about that loss.

[11/21/21 Colts@Bills Second Half Thread]

Did he jump when he threw it? Like a 9 year old in the parking lot? What in the world is going on

[11/21/21 Colts@Bills Second Half Thread]

And I thought the Jacksonville game was embarrassing. This team is a mess.

Pretty sure it’s just that one poster repeating himself than any actual talk.

[Dick Jauron fired 12 years ago today]

 

What me? Huh? I'm not even supposed to be here today (you are Dick, you're the coach)

 

Forever in the Mt. Rushmore of lame Bills coaches because in my opinion he just didn't really care. Certainly wasn't trying to win.

[Beasley’s future]

Man I really like that Crowder take. A talented professional that has just been wasted. Even in awful games when he's healthy he's still grabbing 8 or 9 balls, sometimes at 7 yards per catch granted because Jets, but I like him a lot.
