    Let's have a drinking game.

     

    Every time the word "Taylor" is uttered in the broadcast or the camera pans over to her you have to take a shot.

     

    Who's in ?

    We will all be trashed by the end of the first quarter, it will be like taking a shot every time Clint Eastwoods character kill’s someone in Outlaw Josey Wales…,

    Bills chasm between Regular Season Success and Playoff Failure-Are there Football Strategy Problems?

    I think there may be a difference between "aggressiveness" and "imposing your will"/"playing your game".   

    I am not sure there is specifically a problem with play calling aggressiveness.  But it seems like in the playoff games we lost to the Chiefs and Bengals, and Texans, the Bills are typically responding to the other teams rather than dictating the pace of place. And we seem to keep ending up one possession behind with that strategy.   I don't if that is because the Bengals , Chiefs and Texans had better talent than the Bills or if this is what the Bills are consiously trying to do. 

    I think it is what many of us have seen and talked about, giving free release off the line of scrimmage to receivers, playing contain vs getting in the opponents face at the line, , that is how we play, even in crunch time, and it’s by design, and it needs to change at times throughout the game, especially in the fourth quarter when we are tied or up by three,  etc etc, again jmo.

    Imo, it is a matter of timely aggression, and not giving up the five yard passes that lead to YAC first downs, especially in crunch time. So yes a different version of our defensive strategy is in order during the playoffs.  As to offense, the mix of take what they give you, the run game, and pushing the passing down field needs a better plan and application, I’m talking fine tuning adjustments, not wholesale changes, again jmo. 

    What are your feelings on James Cook RB1

    He seems to disappear in games. I would love to see more consistent next year.

    He doesn’t disappear, his usage disappears at times. This comes back to personnel usage discussions we see brought up here with some regularity. The usage “issue” is part in parcel of why our offense looks disjointed/awkward at times. It is on the OC and his staff to utilize our “weapons” in a seamless fashion, it comes down to play design ,play call sequences and situational awareness.  Dorsey was pounded for his inability to achieve those things with regularity.  Situational  awareness during games is key to keeping the offense humming, it is my belief/hope that Brady and Company will achieve a higher level of situational awareness during games and call plays that in turn benefit the following plays that are called…, a guy can hope right? 

    Bills colors? What say you?

    I’m bored with the off-season and don’t care about this Super Bowl. For fun: if you were the owner of the bills what color combination would you want? I came across this tonight and I have to admit, it’s a good look.

    It is my considered opinion 😂, that this color combination lacks flash and  brightness and is difficult to determine what one is looking at from virtually any distance, so no, it is not a winning look for any teams jersey, let alone our Buffalo Bills. 

    Browns hire Dorsey as OC

    That’s fine. He’s still a better offensive coordinator then Joe Brady.

    Be that as it may…, in the English language world wide it is, “THAN’ Joe Brady  ( this THEN that ) / (Ken is better THAN Joe) as an example of basic grammar skills,  nuthin but luv,

    Not true. Designated as a post June 1 cut Von saves $6.7m on this year's cap. The cap hit in 2025 is $15m whether you cut him as a post 1 June or after the 2024 season. So that money has been factored in any way. The only thing they lose is the ability to spread that $15m over two years - 2025 and 2026 by cutting him a year earlier than they originally planned. 

     

    Of course it means you have $17m of dead cap this year that they were not planning for. But it does not make the cap worse. That money is there whether Von plays or not. The only question that it raises is:

     

    Do you want Von Miller at $23.7m or Player X at $6.7m on the roster in 2024? 

     

    And for me I think Von's toast. Give me player X. 

    I believe you are correct. The more one gives the Von question thought, the more it appears he needs to be part of Bills history…

    Any Chance of Playing Some 4- 3 Next Year?

    I do think that we will play with 3 linebackers more next year. The league is trending towards bigger sets with more tight ends. The Bills will need to adjust.

    Should what you say become the norm I can see that happening in the league, but McDermott is pretty wed to “his zone style” come hell or high water so to speak, an “adjustment” like that on Sean’s part would be a bit of a surprise imo, just look at the playoffs, he gets caught with his pants down every post season for the lack of effective adjustments, I say this as a gentle critique, in which I think for the most part Sean is pretty obviously an above average HC, and by win loss record, the best the Bills have had in the modern era.

    Here we go.

     

    It's bad enough the media likes to make something out of nothing every year. Do we really need to do it every year too?

     

    It's nothing. Same as last year. His contract isn't really tradable. Especially with how he played at the end of last year. Why would a team take that on if there's any concern he's falling off?

     

    As for what he said, I read it as nothing. I just took it as him looking at how things ended last season and the team being a mess roster wise and not taking for granted that he's safe. Reports are he's not unhappy or looking to move:

    Yup, some folk fish for attention, some folk just express themselves, and other folk take it and run with it as if there is deep meaning behind what’s said, this is just typical Diggs mutterings, just part of his personality, ain’t nuthin but a thing…,

    Should the Bills trade up for their own “Julio Jones”

    Now I’m just chuckling. Thanks. I’m leaving to see Kathleen Madigan in a few minutes, and you are like a Pre-warm up act. 

     

    You can tear up ANYONE if you want to point out the players a GM passed over. Montana went in the third round, Brady in the 6th. That is the weakest approach I see on this board. 

     

    .

    Enjoy the. Show she’s pretty darn funny, 👍
