  1. They had more than enough time to run teh ball 4 straight plays and he waited until they were first and goal. He did it exactly right and didn't waste a single second.
  2. Right now they're a bunch of babes in the woods out there running around. They desperately need some of that veteran leadership back on the field.
  3. He has no business being out there in an NFL defensive backfield. I know he's become an excellent ST's player and that the DB room is decimated by injuries, but he has yet to show anything he belongs out there with that defense.
  4. He ate a ton of doubles and spent most of the day in the offensive backfield. There were a couple plays where he got buried by the Center while he was engaged with the Guard, but nobody could deal with him straight up.
  5. Is this wind out of control there yet?
  6. I hope you checked the font size first......
  7. Life's short; why destroy perfectly good insulation....
  8. It's a loose interpretation of the word, but we'll let it stand.
  9. In case anybody wants to watch it for some potentially entertaining weather.
  10. I'd insist on having the ball first as the underdog then kick that sumbitch right in the jimmy, drop in the layup and run for my truck with a 1-0 win.
  11. For decades the only Bills clothing I'd owned was a sleeveless athletic shirt with a smalls Bills logo on it. I hardly ever wear it but I was hot after a pregame hike and threw it on when I got home at the beginning of the game last Sunday. It will not see daylight again this year. My wife did get me a plain white tshirt with Josh Allen's potato logo on it about a month ago so now I have that. I haven't had the stones to wear it during a game yet.
  12. He continues to look just fine in limited snaps, deep on a talent-rich DLine. And nobody gives a freak about arbitrary sack stats on what is by far the #1 scoring defense in the entire league and arguably the best defensive front in the NFL. You're constant need to find nonsense to continually complain about is starting to annoy a lot of people in this forum. I'm all for diversity of opinion but when multiple people are complaining about a singe poster then it's bordering on crusading, which makes it a "you" problem and a good time to reevaluate why people gather here and where you fit in. If you think this is a road you want to continue travelling, first you should ask yourself why you see regular long term disappearances from the likes of Scott Law, Billz4ever, IronMaidenBills, etc. and decide whether you want to walk that long, lonely lane right behind them.
  13. I agree with this, but it is also a situation with which we have minimal experience. There's no real answers to be had but it is a rare data point to add to the equation. I will say that if they walk on to that field without Allen but also missing Groot, Milano, Poyer, Tre White, Spencer Brown and Kaiir Elam, then it becomes meaningless in terms of evaluating the GM.
  14. A 10 degree change in the wind direction could bring the lake effect further North on Sunday than it's currently projected.
  15. You can still cut people from the side at the LOS which pisses me off to no end. It's a chickenspit play that has no place in the game. He's absolutely been the Bills most consistent DLineman this year; it's an enormous loss.
  16. Yeah, I thought he was off balance and pulled him down with his right hand. It wasn't a horrible penalty; he hid it very well, most refs aren't going to reach for non-egregious flags at that point in a game and they'd been letting them play all day. It was just really ***** luck that probably not only ended up changing the outcome of the game, but led to Allen being injured shortly after.
  17. Some items for all the wags who have been telling us how awful he is: > Ed Oliver not only led all DLinemen in tackles yesterday, he had twice as many as anybody else up front. - He had more tackles than all the other DT's on the roster combined - The fumble that Epenesa recovered would never have happened without Oliver's play so he also had a hand in a turnover - He also had the hustle play of the day when he sprinted 25 yards downfield on the opposite sideline and saved a 70+ yard TD Going into yesterday Ed Oliver led all Bills DT's in QB hits despite missing 3 1/2 games with injury He's also had multiple sacks taken away due to penalties on other players Just because you don't "notice him" or some talking head fails to mention him, doesn't mean he sucks. It means that if you can't see what he's doing then you don't know what you're looking for. Some folks ought to consider practicing some humility instead of spouting off about things that they don't understand. Yes, it's the same utterly clueless crusader that you think it is
  18. Thanks, I did not catch that. If Tremaine has to take the time to speak to you, you've definitely got an issue to address.
  19. I agree with this 100% and not just because I don't trust Phillips (which I admittedly do not), but I think the Bills coaches are so slavishly inflexible with their rotation that they're hurting themselves at critical moments. Today was a fine example when the Jets got the ball inside their own 5 with about 7:00 left and who comes trotting on the field but Jordan Phillips. 10 seconds after my wife told me to stop grumbling about it, the Jets were on the move. The reason they run that rotation in the first place is so they can have everybody fresh at crunch time, but when crunch time comes around it's time to get your best players out there. Ed Oliver should have been out there to start that series right next to Settle or Jones, as opposed to Phillips who still spends way too much time trying to slip blocks instead of aggressively engaging OLinemen to stone opposing offenses like he should be. Somebody on that staff needs to sit him down and explain to him that if he continues to go out there and play for himself and hang his teammates out to dry, he's going to end up right back in Arizona or some other place that is looking for a glory hound. Guy's got a ton of talent but until he starts playing more like a fighter than a dancer, he's always going to be a liability at key moments.
  20. If you're disagreeing with that guy, you're even more wrong than you usually are.
  21. Oliver led all DLinemen in tackles. Phillips played very poorly for the second week in a row.
  22. Thanks, Doctor...
  23. By default, that back judge should have called it a pick so that it would automatically activate a review on a turnover.
