  1. The difficulty is that at today's salaries if you sign too many elete players, there is only chump change left so you wind up having a bunch of scrubs on the field with your elites. This is why teams shoot for the moon while their core of elites are on team-friendly rookie contracts; see for example the Rams and Lions.
  2. Baseball cards: Making kid's bikes sound like motorcycles since forever. You know what I mean.
  3. He kicked for Buffalo in the early 70s. Died at 40 in Cheektowaga of Dysentery. R.I.P.
  4. Not as old as me. Lusteg played for the Bills in 1966. He was Gogolak's replacement.
  5. Decades ago the Bills' kicker Booth Lustig missed a kick tht cost Buffalo the game. later a carload of Bills fans spotted Lustig on the sidewalk. They piled out of the car and beat him up.
  6. Maybe you can't be "more than a football player" during the season, especially when you are an NFL QB.
  7. Coleman hasn't been the same sunce he took that wicked shot from Poyer. I wonder whether that shot is still living rent-free in his brain?
  8. Sic transit gloria mundi.
  9. The players are professionals. It's the coaches job to formulate a game plan, install it, call plays, etc. The coaches are not psychologists. It's shouldn't be the coaches' job to "get them up" for a game. I think at duty ends with college ball.
  10. The players didn't play well; we lost the turnover battle. Conclusion: fire the coaching staff.
  11. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1451305432637648
  12. I think Bernard let Kelce get away from him on that long completion to Kelce.
  13. Josh was excellent today. In fairness to Mahomes, our pass rush was in his face all game. I would have said that our rush spread his cheeks today but Mahomes already said that.
  14. The Bills' injury list is scary.
  15. I'm guessing that it's a nanny the coverage isn't man coverage.
  16. You'd think that this would be corrected by the coaches. Isn't that what WR coaches are for?
  17. For years Josh has had a problem completing deep balls. It's the one significant weakness in his passing game.
  18. Amari has been invisible in our O this year. I blame Brady
  19. The D screwed the pooch big time in the first half. In the second half they adjusted and allowed only 3 points. That's amazing since their two starting LBs were out.
  20. Someone said Josh may have been concussed last week when his head bounced off the turf. On the all 22 last week he was missing open receivers. This week against the Falcons he looked like a mere mortal. Last week he had plenty of time to throw. This week he did not because of the blitz. Puzzling that we did not throw slants or quick stuff -- blitz beaters. Our O scheme doesn't seem to have hot routes to beat the blitz -- just dump-offs to the RB. Injuries to our receiving corps may also have played a role.
  21. Conclusion: other teams' OL are better at hiding the holding than our OL.
  22. Maye looked like the Josh of old rolling out to his right and hitting the receiver at the sideline. He even had the "jump in the air" throwing mechanic of the rookie Josh.
