  1. I'm a good character guy and would have required much less of a salary. My on field ability is not NFL level but hey...
  2. and then which of Brady and Babich coaches the team for the rest of the year? Mack Hollins was pretty good but they let him walk And have the tuba player dot the "i"
  3. Gotta keep the horse off the field during warmups, he keeps falling on guys. In my fantasies, every time Mahomes scrambles.
  4. You're at 4th and 1, you have a genius scrambler at QB, an RB you just signed to a huge contract, an OL that has been good all season long, plus you have a hot prospect at blocking TE and you've dedicated a roster spot to a FB. This is a perfect situation to run a jet sweep with a 4th string WR or better yet a TE and fumble the ball. At least if you're going to call a play like that, make it look like you've run it once or twice in practice.
  5. This is clearly true. So it makes you wonder why the front office was so fixated on him back on draft day. They traded down not once, but twice, because he was the guy they really wanted. Never mind who else was on the board and how good they've turned out to be. That's a shame, but the real concern here is that the front office was so wrong about a guy they were so fixated on. And if you want to write the story of the Elam draft, you can copy-paste. The only two really good draft choices this team has made in recent seasons (besides Walker, for whom it's still too early) were both random later round dart board shots: Bernard and Benford.
  6. Go back and look at the grades the Bills coaching staff has been given in the weekly post-game "report cards" in the Buffalo News and the Democrat & Chronicle. Coaching has been consistently bad all year, whether it's play calling, penalties (Offside? illegal formation??) or the general failure of our "very sophisticated" defense lead by our defense-specialist HC. The Bills have been dominant for exactly 5 quarters this year, one against the 1-5 Ravens and 4 against the 0-6 Jets. The rest of the time, watching them has been reminiscent of the bad old days - not the really terrible teams but the Tyrod-Fitzy-Orton teams that were kind of OK but couldn't do anything when it mattered. I heard someone say that the NFL is a passing league, but not when the Bills are playing; just run the ball and get 180 yards that way. I heard someone say that when a team blitzes it leaves opportunities open but not when the Bills are playing; nobody seems to be able to run a hot route and our coaches can't scheme up an extra blocker in the backfield - too bad we don't have a FB on the team. Oops, we do. Maybe I sound like a broken record (and maybe the younger people on the board don't even know that expression) but this team hasn't been right since 13 seconds and I think it's because there has never been any accountability for what was clearly a coaching meltdown. Without that, we can't expect these guys to lead us to the next level.
  7. Maybe Russ was just harkening back to his baseball days, throwing a one-hopper to first base to nab a fast runner. Or maybe Russ was the one who should be getting tested for a concussion. It was easily the worst throw I've ever seen by a QB and I'm old enough to remember all the bad QBs who ever played for the Bills.
  8. By the same token I've been advocating for years to have the Sabres get a sumo goalie. He could just lie down in front of the goal. Since Terry owns both teams, he could roster the same guy for both and save a few yen.
  9. ...a couple of Popeye's biscuits away from being a tight end
  10. Don't blame the fans. It was the damned uniforms.
  11. Tirico was hilarious. Funniest prime time football moment since this one in 1972:
  12. But it worked out so well with John Brown's body and Cole Porter.
  13. In fairness to Spector, he may be injury-prone but he's slow.
  14. Anyone who listens to Sean's press conferences or interviews with the expectation of him actually saying something is going to be sorely disappointed. I'm still waiting for an explanation of 13 seconds.
  15. Do you mean fat losers as in losers who are fat, or fat-losers as in people who have slimmed down? Just asking.
  16. Can't do this. The way things are going in the NFL this season, you need to have your backup kicker dressed on game day. By this same token, need to sign Zach Davidson to the 53. You can thank me later. I'll be setting up a Go Fund Me.
  17. This. I was pretty certain that someone inferior would knock us off after near-misses by Miami and N.O.
  18. Bring back Diggs Or whatever
  19. The subject of this thread reminds me of a former columnist for the Wall Street Journal who every now and then would write a column called "Questions Nobody is Asking"
  20. It's hard to believe that I've been watching this sport for 60 years and I have no idea what he's talking about.
