How odd. A little fellow slightly shorter than 5'6" going around as "Luke Sky Walker" and even seemingly wearing the right haircut...but on probation for something or other.
As George Carlin wisely pointed out, when you're born into this world, you're given a ticket to the freak show.
When you're born in America, you get a front row seat.

My wife and I have guidelines about buying Christmas presents for our two children.
Something you want, something you need, something to wear, and something to read. Of course, we always throw in a couple other small gifts from their wish lists.
My favorite Christmas present from childhood was the original Nintendo. I recall wanting it so badly.
Your guidelines remind me of the saying about what a bride needs to have on her wedding day...
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

No way will be so lucky as to have GB pluck Daboll away.
Would have been a great way to get rid of him.
Doubt he's interviewed let alone hired.

If we want to compete with the big boys, he will be cut. RB's are a dime a dozen now and most teams look at it that way. Patriots would cut him, Dallas would as well (ie Dez), he should be thanked for his service and shown the door.
Don't disagree.
Which is why he should have been traded at the deadline. Another mistake made by McBeane. -

You seem to feel a need to belong to a group with a similar way of thinking.

Miami had 8 penalties for 89 yards including a number of key offensive holding calls.
The officiating is pretty evenly bad throughout the league and is certainly not why lost today.
I'm sure the fans of every team think the officiating impacts their team the most.

The end of the first half was so badly butchered, and we saw this same exact nonsense go on last year. Why are we not calling timeouts with almost 2 minutes left with the Dolphins having the ball inside our 10? You can not give up possessions like that. That’s losing football.
No matter what they did there, we should’ve had so much more time than the 40 seconds we were left with after we didn’t call anything. And then of course we run the ball on the first 3 plays before finally passing, and then are completely indecisive with 5 secs to go and end up burning the timeout when we could’ve tried to run a quick play to get us a little closer.
And then the 4th and 2 from past midfield that EVERYONE knew we weren’t going to actually snap and just try to “bait” the D into Offside.
I just don’t understand it. Isn’t the point to try to win the game? Not just to stay close? Especially when you have a QB that was making plays. I will never blame a coach for being aggressive to try to win the game if it doesn’t work out. But giving away possessions and being conservative is not winning football.
This point was brought up in the post-game radio show with Schopp & The Bulldog.
Perhaps that was you calling in?The answer as to why we do this is what Schopp said: it's the way McDermott wants to play football. He wants to slow the game down to a crawl, shorten it, play tight defense, and win every game 10-7.
I am of the opinion that this philosophy absolutely does not work in the NFL in 2018. We are possibly THE MOST conservative/cautious team left in the league at this point. Not good, if you're a Bills fan.
I couldn't agree with you more; we threw away that possession at the end of the half and that is losing football. Which makes sense, given that we lost.
McDermott's penalty flag challenge was also bad, as almost ALL of his challenges have been since he arrived here. We clearly do not have a competent system in place to ensure proper challenges and eliminate poor challenges.
It's another sign of bad coaching/lack of organization.
13 hours ago, Bill_with_it said:This is an ll around bad thread. Too much hindsight. There is literally no way any of you questioning the end of the first half decisions by Sean thought the team would make it to the 40 considering the first half. Too many penalties and struggling to move the ball. Alot of the last call there was on the OC; numerous times theough the game Josh is looking to the sidelines motioning that the call needs to come in quicker. This game isnt on the HC.
The highlighted is totally wrong.
If Bill Belichick was watching the game today sitting next to you, he would have asked why the Bills aren't calling timeouts, as the OP did, in real time.
No hindsight there at all.

That’s on Clay
as it was on Ronnie Harmon
live a little
love a little
learn a little
Just watched that throw again about 10 times.
I estimate the ball was under thrown by something on the order of 13 yards.
When the ball leaves Allen's hand, Clay is near the end line, in the back of the end zone. He ends up having to get his hands to ground level on the goal line to get to the ball. I.E., the ball would have hit a receiver "in the numbers" probably around the 3 yard line or maybe even further out.
The ball was horribly thrown with a wobble that suggested it was tipped; it was not tipped.
The whole thing seems more spectacular than it was b/c the game was on the line and Allen had to run around in circles avoiding a sack before the throw.
In the end, it was a horribly thrown ball and Clay failed to make a really nice catch to bring it in, which perhaps he should have, but he did not.
The Ronnie Harmon incident in Cleveland is not comparable IMO.

It's cool to see how other teams view our players. Especially rivals. You tend to get more accurate assessments from people that aren't emotionally tied to the player. Good find Yolo.
Neither team is set up at QB for the future at the moment IMO. As time goes on this will be more obvious.
The rivalry with Miami died many years ago.

I’d get rid of McCoy too. Has a cap hit of nearly 9 million too. He just seems to be slowing down a bit.
He will be gone and it's why it was a mistake not to move him at the deadline when we could have gotten something for him.

The correct answer is:
C) Both, and one error does not exonerate the other.

Allen's inaccuracy straight up cost us 3 TDs today, including what could have been the game winner at the end.
Yes, Clay probably should have caught that ball, but that doesn't change the fact that it was inaccurate and very poorly thrown.
I'd further suggest had it been a good throw, it likely would have been caught.

Kiko straight up didn't have the speed to deal with Allen today. He could have helped himself on several occasions by taking a better angle than he did.
Overall, it was a bad day for him in terms of trying to contain Allen.

No, not in the players that matter. Our core is a very young group. No denying that.
Define "core". Some of it is young, some of it is old, some of it is middle-aged.
The point is McDermott likes to deflect blame for his penalty ridden squad by suggesting it is an unavoidable byproduct of youth.That's BS in my opinion.

He had 231 yards passing, 135 yards on the ground, and two TD's. I know there is still one AFC game left this week, but I can't see any reason why he should not get this honor. Kareem Hunt won it in week 9 with only 141 yards total and two TD's.
No one who is not a Bills fans agrees with this.

Remove Allen's running highlight plays--of which there have been many--and you don't have a lot leftover.
Here's the thing: the running will eventually be stopped by opposing defenses and it doesn't win many games in the NFL to begin with.

I want to say it was 60 yards. Very impressive nonetheless
Missing a wide open receiver and throwing a touchdown in the garbage can is not "impressive."

I noticed McDermott referenced "our young football team" in his very first statement of the PC after the game.
He loves to do that.
[We're the 5th oldest team in the league].

I feel like today's loss is indicative of what teams with a losing culture do. Lose games that should have been won. Bad clock management at the end of the first half, losing a challenge on an emotional play, getting personal foul celebration penalties on a play that could have stalled a drive. Mcdermott is directly responsible for the first two of these issues, and should have sat phillips for the rest of the game after his asinine penalty. I don't think the undisciplined penalties and special teams clown show helps build a winning culture. But that is just me.
Do others think we will learn from today's game and not repeat these mistakes again and again like we seem to week after week?
McDermott's penalty challenges from the very beginning have been mostly terrible, and today was no different.
The challenge was a clear mistake that can't be made. Except it was.
Our penalty issue reminds me somewhat of the Rex Ryan era. Not good.

Still waiting for Jamarcus Russell to appear freaking clowns
Allen is pretty bad.
He left 21 points on the field today by my count due to his accuracy issues, and almost all of his highlight plays for the season have come from his legs.
He's a Tim Tebow with a bit more upside.
3 hours ago, billsfan11 said:How can you possibly blame Allen for that loss? If that’s what you’re trying to say
Well, for starters, he cost us 3 TDs because he can't throw the ball accurately.
So there's that.

Knight is a classic bully and ego-driven psychopath. Guys like him are a dime a dozen in the business world.
And yet he was also an enormous doer of good and involved in a LOT of charity work and money raising efforts for all kinds of worthy recipients.
A very complex fellow.
