Man with No Name

As far as the Cook play goes, as usual, CBS DID NOT give us a good look from the proper angle. so who the heck knows. The announcers didn't even mention the elbow at all. Production and spotting continues to be ABYSMAL this year.

Allen has strengths and weaknesses. When something like 9-30 happens, there is blame for him to take obviously. but he knows how to play football. The coaches should understand his skillset. IT IS UP TO COACHES TO PREPARE THE PLAYERS TO EXECUTE.

we are very lucky to have Josh Allen, but i think most of know that, so we are not spoiled. For having him, the results have the past 6 years are a baseline for what you might expect. Maybe even an over performance. We haven't been spoiled. We've endured all the same gut punches we have over the previous 25 years. spoiled compared to Jets or Browns fans? Okay. that's not normal. WE ARE NOT SPOILED. And to think that is almost like a stockholm syndrome or battered wife syndrome type of thing.

And how much of the Hollins overthrow was on him vs Hollins very clearly not having any tracking ability? He looked like a high school soph searching for that ball.

so that would be a combination of "Brady is in way over his head" and "this is the worst WR group ever." 9 for 30 is historically bad. so we are talking major problems. this isn't merely "just a bad game" we were something like 5 to 8 completions away from "Just a bad game"

the 9 for 30 is the most worrying thing to me. It shows that either Brady is in way over his head coaching an offense, Allen is regressing badly into the downside of his career, or we have the worst receiving core in the history of the nfl. maybe some combination. It is ridiculous that something like that can happen. Clearly the team is NOT prepared. A lot of people can come up with a playbook, but how do you adjust when you're hit in the mouth. apparently we don't. at all.

if he was lucid, what would a neurologist see? Not sure whoever would have been looking at him would have seen the footage from CBS. In fact, how much did CBS show or talk about in the first place? I wasn't really paying attention to the game, but I had it on, and did not realize or think anything was going on there.

Oh, you didn't know the Bills Bars have the most perceptive and analytical fans in the nation?

Every broadcast I've seen this year has done a terrible job with replays in general. They aren't showing what teams were trying to do. They aren't going back to missed catches to see if it should have been caught. They seem to have less clue than ever when flags are thrown. It would appear they have cut back on spotters, cameramen, etc. I guess when you are paying guys like Brady 36 mil per year, you have to cut costs somewhere.

i don't watch the raiders, but my friend is a die hard Raiders fan and pretty knowledgeable football guy. He says they are a "BAD" 2-2. Having Gardner Minshew as their starting qb, i have no reason not to believe him.

i think you just a hope a guy like him buys into our happy family atmosphere and is swept off his feet by josh for a quick 4 month long bromance. Guys like that can pull it together nicely for brief spurts if the pieces fit right.

3-0 start gives the freedom to feel like that after a loss. I had the same feeling during and after the game. Whereas during the philly game last year, i was smashing my phone. Being in a desperate spot really messes with the mentality. This was a good time to take a lump and learn a few things

and this is why i still always say McD is the wrong head coach for this team. Josh Allen is the identity of this team, and he is going to have to go through a carousel of o coordinators. At some point, maybe he becomes Brady or Manning, where he is the CEO of the offense, but I doubt he's there yet. A few years of stability under a really great coordinator would be nice. And while I don't think McD is a great fit for Allen, I concede I don't know who we'd grab that would be better, so it's just something we'll most likely have to live with. it could be way worse, right?

i was honestly shocked when we didn't score against kc at the end of the game. it almost feels inevitable with josh. this stat is not surprising at all.

higgins still needs to play for a contract. the bills really screwed up giving that big extension to diggs. and that's not hindsight. it was always questionable.

he is 100% relieved. if you've ever had to perform around somebody that makes you walk on eggshells, you get it. mental energy needs to be focused 100% on making plays to win. not keeping a spoiled brat happy.

He is pretty good at not going FULL DIVA but still being a huge PIA. he is very passive aggressive.

i love that they cut those years off his contract. they think it's gonna make him highly motivated, but it's a double edged sword. he is gonna be on his worst behavior very quickly if things aren't going perfectly.

probably gonna happen in the next few years whether we want it or not.

that 2nd half of the 23 season is irrelevant if he catches one ball in the game that matters.

while his cap hit is enormous for us, he is only making 18 mill per season, next two. a bargain if you think Diggs is still Diggs.

OP is not kidding unfortunately. He is pessimistically putting himself into the mindset of McBeane. And he very well could be correct. Sad face.

i like diggs. i understand some of his frustration. but he's not what he thinks he is, and he seems to lack some self-awareness. though probably not as much as appears.

running the ball, he's a JAG. 100%. but I always had a good feeling when they threw the ball his way. Safe, dependable, runs hard, etc. If you could combine his intangibles with Cook's talent, we'd have a perfect back. and i don't dislike cook. but he's impossible to trust. edit: just looked at his numbers, and maybe im remembering stuff that's not real. 7 catches in the regular season. 1 post season. 1 fumble.

but aaron schobel, right?
