Two penalties in particular were terrible. One was roughing the passer and then the intentional grounding ( I am pretty sure Davis screwed up his route on that one)

And the taunting penalty!  These big tough football players can't take it when someone points at them?  Do they need a safe space with coloring books and stuffed animals?

 

The NFL treats taunting worse than unnecessary roughness.  Two taunting penalties and you're ejected.

We peaked at :13.  It's as simple as that.  

Every time I post something about :13 I get flamed, but I think that Sean lost this team and the fan base in those 13 seconds and in his complete and utter failure to own it.  He fired the special teams coach, that's it?

 

Good coaching leadership could have prevented the window from slamming shut in the aftermath of that debacle.  But with Sean, all he talks about is "complementary football" and "getting the offense in a rhythm."

 

COMPLEMENTARY FOOTBALL?  WTF DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? 

[Random talking head says something about the Bills]

Until Sean owns 13 seconds, he'll never have the full confidence of the fans.  I wonder if he has the same problem with the players.

 

Time for some transparency and some accountability.

So the consensus seems to be that Beane shouldn't be fired this week.

You should use its full name.  It's "Tiny" Coe College

Josh McDaniels October 31

[Raiders fired HC Josh McDaniels and GM Dave Ziegler.]

Wow, I got all the way to the second page of this thread without seeing a single post calling for the Bills to fire Dorsey and hire McDaniels as OC.

I was torn between Clements and Winfield. Voted Clements just because.

 

 

How soon? It's been 50 years since he made a pro bowl!

Only because of rampant ageism.

I think Tre White is the only Bills CB to be a first team All Pro.

Wrong.  Robert James did it in 2 consecutive seasons.

I like a different approach. When I was a kid, the International League had baseball teams in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Montreal and Toronto.  I think that's the way the NFL should go. Throw in Ottawa and Albany for good measure.

Here's our's from 1981.

 

Roland Hooks:

Pretty clean play in 1981.  Not like today where everyone is getting mugged on both sides of ball!

 

 

I remember that game.  I got disgusted and turned it off, then later I turned it back on just in time for the Hooks play.

[The Stadium Wall gives me solace]

An actual thought that I had when it looked like the Bills were about to hand a win to Tampa Bay:

 

"If we lose this game, reading TSW is going to be especially entertaining."

 

So thanks, guys, you're the next best thing to an easy win.

[Week 8, Bucs v. Bills - GAME BALLS]

Dorsey?  I'm a 69 year old retired lawyer watching the Pats game last week with my son who's an engineer, and we're saying "They need to run the no-huddle a lot more" and "They need to scheme Davis into the game a lot more." It's Dorsey's profession, we're just a couple of dopes watching the game. Dorsey should be telling me this, not the other way around.  Anyway he can't hear me through the television.

This is a huge pet peeve of mine. They execute the play and complete the pass, but still don’t get the first down. I hate it.

Agree.  Bad play calling cost the Bills 11 points in the first quarter.

I think it could be fun having Henry and Josh Norman in the clubhouse.  Like a class reunion!
