  1. Traditional is a no-brainer for Buffalo. It's a blue-collar Joe Six-pack town. Can you see the Bills in Seattle neon green?
  2. It's pretty shrewd. Denying the Jets an OT, makes them easier for the Patriots to play.
  3. I think he lied about his height.
  4. Now, now, simmer down young wippersnapper. Imagine: imaginary numbers. I do remember Jim Otto, the Raiders' center
  5. How about Roman Numerals? Negative numbers?
  6. WR in 1st Best available OL or MLB in 2d OL in 3d (or LB is OL taken in 2d)
  7. The linemen will have alot of Henry's cleat marks up their backs.
  8. He was a significant reason that Hank's team was able to matriculate the ball down the field.
  9. Oliver os a three technique DT. Daquan Jones is a one technique DT. They are not interchangeable. These links give an overview of their different roles. https://www.pff.com/news/defensive-prototypes-1-technique https://www.pff.com/news/defensive-prototypes-3-technique Keep in mind that Oliver played hurt for much of this year.
  10. King Henry: Great back. We can't afford him. End of discussion.
  11. If you listen to the podcast, the caster gives a well reasoned and nuanced evaluation of Dorsey's season. In other words, he's out of touch with this board. Seriously, the stats he quotes show that Dorsey did as well as Daboll the previous year and Dorsey had to deal with a wounded Josh.
  12. Don't forget the Bisons' Luke Easter and his Easter Eggs over the scoreboard at Offermann Stadium Some of his homeruns still haven't come down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_Easter_(baseball)
  13. Dan Marino played for 17 years. He went to the Superbowl in his 2d year and lost. He never returned.
  14. It's a bad case of disappointed expectations. During the drought people expected the team to lose so when they did, expectations were fulfilled. This year, people expected the Superbowl. When that didn't happen people were left disappointed and angry. This, too, shall pass.
  15. A sad story all around. Life is precious and none of us are promised fullness of years. Carpe Diem!
  16. It's a variation on Pop Warner's old hidden ball play. You may read about it here: https://www.profootballhof.com/news/2018/10/the-trick-play-originates-with-a-pop/ and see it executed by a high school team in this clip: https://fanbuzz.com/high-school/concord-hidden-ball-trick/
  17. Anything would be better than the Cover Zero we played in the Bengals game, as in cover zero receivers. Note: engage sarcasm detectors. Seriously, if you make major changes to the D you need some different players on D. If you do that you just mke it harder to upgrade our O.
  18. Eagles fans want to win in the worsy way and when they do they are.
  19. I have noticed that Josh takes his time deciding to whom to throw. Without access to the all-22 film I can't tell whether he's takes his time processing what the secondary is doing or whether it's his receivers are not getting open quickly or their routes are longer. Any thoughts? The NextGen website ranks John number 27 on release time at 2.89 secs. For comparison Joe Burrow is 2.55 and Mahomes is also 2.89, (likely the result of his scrambling)
  20. Or Unitas with the BALTIMORE Colts.
  21. I don't disagree with you. That said, you need to establish the run for play action to be effective and we all know how good the Bills were at establishing the run game this year. (Note: engage sarcasm detector). The Run Pass option (RPO) game was probably the closest the Bills were getting to true play action. With Allen's running ability and our otherwise anemic RB run game, the RPO style was the better choice.
  22. Both Brian Urlacher, the Bears HOF middle linebacker and Tremaine Edmunds were coached by Bob Babich who retired last year as the Bills' LB coach. Edmunds plays the same role as Urlacher did in the Cover 2 defense. They both can cover the hole in the middle between the two deep safeties.
  23. Reminiscent of the 1934 NFL Championship game? The Giants beat the undefeated Bears 30-13 by outscoring their opponents 27-0 in the fourth quarter. Their victory was attributed to the fact that during the fourth quarter the Giants wore sneakers, giving them better traction on the frozen, icy field. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1934_NFL_Championship_Game
