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

Bills now Vegas betting favorites to land Derrick Henry
Dan Darragh replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think it could be fun having Henry and Josh Norman in the clubhouse. Like a class reunion! -
Are these in any particular order?

Purdy in Concussion Protocol. Likely OUT this weekend.
Dan Darragh replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
Tua played after a concussion. Like one minute after a concussion. -
https://theathletic.com/4995928/2023/10/25/nfl-trade-deadline-needs-bills-patriots-packers/?source=pulsenewsletter&campaign=8085160 The Bills get a linebacker for their defense Last week Buffalo played without four starters on defense, and a fifth, edge rusher Von Miller, played sparingly. Defensive tackle Da’Quan Jones, cornerback Tre’Davious White and linebacker Matt Milano are on injured reserve, and their best defensive lineman Ed Oliver missed the game with a toe injury. It was clear they could not hold up against what had been a feeble New England Patriots offense. The Patriots got 11 first downs in the fourth quarter alone and pushed the Bills all over the field. Bills QB Josh Allen actually had regained his team the lead late before the defense faltered again and gave up a game-winning drive. I don’t think the Bills can go on like this, and they are going to be forced to make a deal. I would start in Denver with the much-maligned Broncos, but before you laugh and say, “Why would we want anyone off a historically bad defense?”, remember that even bad defenses have players with effective individual skill sets. Against the Patriots, the Bills started two young and unproven inside linebackers and replaced one in the second half with a college free agent — hardly a recipe for long-term success. Denver inside linebacker Josey Jewell, at age 29 and in the last year of a contract, makes some sense as a rental for the rest of this season. Broncos coach Sean Payton has made it clear he will listen to any and all offers. Jewell is a steady traffic cop who can get everyone lined up and has consistently shown a very good nose for the ball. And he might have a calming effect on a group that is reeling right now. Additionally, if the Bills are willing to part with a little more compensation they should ask for defensive tackle Mike Purcell as well. Purcell is a versatile nose who can also play 3 technique and is also in the last year of his deal. He is playing 36 percent of Denver’s defensive snaps and holds the point of attack very well, gets off blocks and plays with a consistent motor and pad level that the Bills are really missing with Jones and Oliver out of the lineup. Both Broncos can be expected to get a shot of adrenaline in coming from the chaos in Denver to a really good Bills team, and neither has an exorbitant salary, so they should fit in under a tighter cap. I would make either or both of these deals in a heartbeat. I’m not sure that the Bills couldn’t acquire them both for a fourth- or fifth-round pick. The Bills have to be somewhat desperate and not quibble at this point. I did not realize this. Shocking!

Buffalo Bills official injury report vs Bucs
Dan Darragh replied to Saxum's topic in The Stadium Wall
You see, this is why our coaching staff sucks. Such an obvious thing but the coaches NEVER TELL THEM TO PLAY BETTER. Terry, put this guy on the payroll. He's a bargain at whatever price he demands. -
Josh hired him, Josh can fire him.

Where's the tailgating?

Suh is a free agent

Of course he's injured, and of course he's lying to us about it just like he did last year. Transparency is not valued at OBD. Personally I'm still waiting for them to come clean about how the 13 seconds happened. We all know the coaches screwed up, why haven't they owned it? Transparency!

Why is everyone focused on the Offense here?
Dan Darragh replied to PatsFanNH's topic in The Stadium Wall
Hard to imagine Jim Schwartz was available and we didn't bring him back to Buffalo. -
He DOES have 2 scepters though
-
It sounds like Joel Wilson time! Who can tell me who he is without looking it up?

Why the Bills don't care and neither should you
Dan Darragh replied to Hermes's topic in The Stadium Wall
Really. Why put a game away by halftime when you can leave your starters in there for 60 minutes? -
Trade deadline needs what are your priorities

Let's offer KC a 6th rounder for Kelce. -
Or Trump! If Trump had bought the team, we'd never lose! We'd be tired of winning!
-
I think we're still owed answers going all the way back to 13 seconds. That was a total failure by the coaching staff.
-
That's about how I remember it from my first visit there which I think was in 2011. The Bills had a great start that season and McFaddens was so crowded that the overflow went into the bar next door.

I forgot "ridiculous" in the list of MENSA level comments.

I was actually endorsing what you wrote My point was that there is no answer because the proposition is unknowable (except of course by the "smart guys")
