    Yeah, I’m with you in a that I’m a 46 year old man who turns into a petulant teenager when I watch the Bills. 
     

    Football season between 1-4pm aren’t my brightest moments.


    I try and not use bad language around my kids when we watch (6,5,3) but the word “stupid” and the “GD worst flipping play call ever in this teams stupid history” came out today. 
     

    i know i know, very tame, however, i wasn’t wrong. That deep fade on 3rd and 3 was the absolute worst. Like throwing when up late against the Cowboys.

    Same.

     

    I do have close friends and relatives who are Jets fans that I have the utmost respect/love for. Regardless, I revel in their misery. Does that make me a bad?


    You’re a better person than me. I rub it in their faces every chance i get.

     

    Some friends are shocked at my delight in the anguish of Jest fans. 

     

    Tomorrow, I’ll be smiling from ear to ear. 

  3. I’d say he’s being used perfectly. 
     

    For some reason, the Bills don’t have an intermediate passing game. As a compliment that usually opens up the underneath patterns, that Beasley is very good at. Those routes haven’t been productive this season so far, and i think that’s what so many people were hoping for. Beasley is great in short yardage situations, but he’s not an explosive player. He’s sure handed and runs great routes. Defenses aren’t  giving away the middle of the field for Beasley to exploit those holes. But, Daboll has seemingly found a place for Beasley in the red zone. That route he ran today was beautiful. Same as last weeks. 
     

    If they had another outside threat that could draw at least single coverage, this offense could really open up. Scheming around personnel deficiencies doesn’t make for an explosive offense. Until that’s fixed, the passing game will be middle of the road and frustrating.

  4. I can’t wait. I’ve already told my boss i need some private time from 10-10.20am tomorrow. I’ll be smiling all day. 
     

    CANT WAIT!!

    One of life's great pleasures is listening to them after a Jets loss. Even better after a Jets loss to the Bills. 

     

    Originally, Benigno was a regular WFAN caller. His radio career started after he won a contest to guest host on the station.


    I love Joe and Evan. I live on Long Island, and am surrounded by terrible Jest fans. Just awful people really. Tomorrow will be wonderful. After the Patriots demolished them, they were angry, but they had hope for Darnold. Not anymore. 
     

    GLORIOUS!!!

    Don’t see it. What would be the point?


    Ego. Plain and simple. And not in a bad way either. 
     

    They’re the best ever, together. Without them together, the ENTIRE league changes. Who fills the void? Is there a void? All of it rests on Brady’s shoulders. He seems like the kind of guy who is always looking to improve. No better way than to make even more history. 

  6. I had a similar thought. 
     

    This game reminded me of games past where the Bills would show some potential, and then second half adjustments by Belichick, would turn the game around. 
     

    I can see a tremendous amount of potential for this team, I’m not sure how they get to the next level. It sounds as if getting chewed out at halftime made a difference. Maybe this team needs an edge player. Someone who fits the process but has that crazy fueled fire inside of them, that gets everyone ready to fight on every series. It’s not to say that they aren’t motivated, but they need something extra.

  7. No team is designed to play down to its competitors level. 
     

    That being said, the issues on offense are attributable to a young QB learning how to find that delicate balance between making a play, and making a mistake. 
     

    Some better weapons wouldn’t be terrible either. 
     

    The defense is tremendous. And they play full speed for 4 quarters, which takes a huge amount of pressure off of Josh Allen. If Allen continues to produce and grow from week to week, so will his production.

  8. Great write up as always Shaw. 
     

    This defense is tremendous. They continue to dictate to the opposition what they can and can’t do. Bulk yards on 2 plays, that didn’t amount to anything. I agree with your confidence in the team. It’s foreign to me, and it doesn’t feel right, but it does feel good. 
     

    I have concerns about the offense in the 3rd quarter. I’m not sure what happens during half time, but week after week the offense comes out flat, and seemingly let’s the opposing team a chance to take control of the game. 
     

    But have no fear; The Defense is Here! I love this defense. I can’t stop saying it. 
     

    Thanks again Shaw!

    This is also a negotiation tactic.   He's getting out in front of it now.   They made a short sided bad deal buying Directv.   Large corporations are notorious for this - I work for one.  Their base of viewers is declining but still significant.  If they lose exclusivity on the NFL, they lose at least 33% of their base.  Maybe more.  They know this. However, his margins continue to be squeezed from both ends as well.  Content providers have more outlets for distribution now, so more bidders to drive the price up.   On the opposite end, consumers like us demand discounts or we switch platforms (eroding margins because of more competition).   This is the beauty of capitalism.  His goal is keep base viewers and margins stable until they can dump Directv.  They're going to be hard pressed to keep both on the up and up long term. 

     

    Losing exclusivity doesn’t mean that it’s a loss of service. If you’re a Direct Tv subscriber, you will still be able to get the ticket, so there would be no reason to quit the service. Unless it isn’t competitively priced with the market, then that’s on Direct TV. 

     

    AT&T isn’t going to abandon the partnership with the NFL, they’re just going to lose the exclusive deal. This is clearly signaling a change in how it the NFL will be distributing its product after this deal ends. 

     

    Im sure that this will be a sticking point after this next CBA.

    Gotta love it.  By the same token gotta love that Josh takes responsibility for it... as long as he's not sitting around with some hangdog look and pouting about it there's nothing wrong with him saying "that's on me".

     

    Absolutely agree. Leading men is a difficult and almost impossible task at times. There’s a delicate balance between accountability and holding others accountable. 

     

    Im genuinely curious which QB’s all time developed that skill set quickest, and how does it translate to championships. I’m not even sure i know who the great leaders have been?

    Oh I'm not sure about that... Mayfield hasn't put together 4 good quarters this year.

     

    i think this is the best point made yet.

     

    Mayfield looks less than the hype. Darnold is out, and will probably suffer under Gase. Rosen is, well, Who knows. 

     

    Yet here, the Bills “fans” have the best Qb of that class, and they’re not happy because he threw a bad INT.  

     

    Its hard to believe. The talking points used to be “you have to beat the teams on your schedule”. For years this team couldn’t do that. Bills teams under Jauron, Williams, Gailey, Marrone, Rex, all would have lost this game. This team, this QB, doesn’t. So now the new adage is “you have to dominate the teams on your schedule because that’s what the Pats and Chiefs do”.

     

    When the Bills start to dominate, what will be next?

    Except it isn’t a Gore to McCoy comparison. It’s a McCoy/Gore/Singletary to Gore/Singletary/Yeldon comparison. By which, Yeldon shouldn’t be on an NFL roster and he showed why today. That depth almost cost the Bills.

     

    He showed why multiple time’s in preseason too.

     

    Try again bro.

     

    Because of the fumble? 

     

    He extended two different drives on 3rd down, and made some solid runs. 

     

    No no one cared about McCoy last week, but this week he puts up some numbers and now the sky is falling. 

     

    His replacement scored the game winner today.

     

    ‘Nuff said.

  13. The postgame show is awful, impossible to listen too. 

     

    Geary makes a great point, and the guys that have the show before him should listen to it. 

     

    This Bills team is good. It’s been a long time since i felt confident saying that. But this team is good. They make mistakes and they don’t get derailed. Josh Allen is the QB we have been waiting for. There is no question about that at all. Maybe some fans still believe that it’s Darnold, or Mayfield, or Mahomes, or maybe even Rosen... but that doesn’t matter. Josh Allen is our man, and week after week, he shows that he plays until the end, he overcomes his mistakes, and he leads the team. What more could anyone ask for?

     

    People who are asking for perfection, belong on the postgame show with those two clowns and their horrible takes on the team we love.

  14. I don’t live in Buffalo anymore and my friend (who i was splitting Sunday Ticket with) has decided not to renew this season. I live in Long Island so I’ve been able to see the first two games, but now I’ve got nothing. 

     

    Im exploring youtubetv and Hulu live, but I’m not sure if they will allow me to stream out of market games. The website seems to indicate that WIVB is available, but if it’s out of market will i be able to watch it still? Can i plug in a buffalo zip code and get the games that way?

     

    20 years I’ve been waiting to watch good football and now this.

    Gilmore and Watkins on this team right now makes us a better team.  

     

    Also, it makes two AFC contenders weaker not having them 

     

    If they don’t buy into the system, then they wouldn’t make the team better. Being good isn’t enough for McBeane, you also have to be focused on the team as well. Neither of those guys were interested in that while here.
