    That's it. I'm not even sure this is worth a thread, but after watching coaching all season, and particularly this past weekend and last night - it's pretty clear we have a good one in McD.  ALL coaches make mistakes and have moments you can point to that are sub-par, but on balance, this coaching staff is well-prepared, gameplans well & makes good adjustments.  

     

    Around the rest of the league, the coaching is just bad.  There are obviously some good ones, but it's a pretty small group.  I'd put McDermott in the top 5 right now.

     

     

    Single handedly cost us a Super Bowl last year. He has not gotten better on GameDay. Still our weakness.... hopefully this year will be different when it matters.

    The Bengals are about to be a problem. I didn’t get the hype last year, but they’re getting hot at the right time. 
     

    I was onboard with what you are saying until you brought the Bills into it. We’ve had a rough go this season with injuries and high expectations. We’re gripping too tight at the moment. We haven’t played fast and loose in a month or more. I’m not sure that being in the facility more is the solution to that. When teams get that way it’s a razor thin line. Taking 2-3 days is the safe route for sure. 

    Oh really, like how the bye week helped? That's where all our problems started.  Emotional high off KC win, then the bye vacation... same exact thing happened last year too.

     

    The Bengals won the AFC last year... and they are putting in more work than us.

     

    You don't fix sloppy play by taking time off, that's what preceded the sloppy play to begin with.

    Talk about a massive difference of culture and player commitment. 

     

    Now to be clear 1 day a week off is mandated by the CBA on a normal week.  3 days off is mandated after a Thursday game long week. 

     

    However, it is up to the players to do with that time as they see fit, for the Bills we got players leaving town, for the Bengals, they are showing up to get better. 

     

    Culture like this is the difference between winning teams and Championship teams. We got guys hopping on planes to chill, they got guys bucking down in the most important stretch of the season.

     

    Meanwhile, Bills have not played anywhere near their potential since the bye and the Bengals have gotten better going 6-1 in their last 7 despite missing their top offensive weapon, who is now returning. 

     

    Bengals pose every much a threat as the Chiefs, this Monday night game week 17 is going to be very telling. Hope the Bills get their stuff together.

    Rating and money>>>>>fairness in the NFL. Always has, always will!  Good for us we on the right side this year!

     

    think if you the Jets. You get Minnesota coming off their mini bye, then get the Bills coming off their mini bye. 
     

    playing two teams in consecutive weeks that have extra rest, that’s kinda fudged up!

    It's not because their strength of schedule is way easier, they don't play last years division winners.

    And there is also merit in taking a mental break after all they had to deal with over the past 2 weeks as well so they can have a clear mind and better mental state for the stretch run coming up.  Can only burn the candle at both ends for so long before it burns out.

    Burn the candle for so long? They practiced twice in a two week span! Lmao

    Huh?  The text is suggesting that if we handled the kickoff right or played better defense in the final seconds that one win would be a loss...and thus 0-6

    Right, if they lost against us in the playoffs they would not have gone on to face the Bengals and lost in the AFCC. They only played the Bengals because they beat us.

    Sad for him, hope he he heals up quickly, and there is no lingering issues, that said, the guy needs an agent, it’s this sort of thing that having had a contract in hand would have given him financial protection, you can lead a horse to water…, 

    Unless he gets an Alex Smith type injury he'll be fine. With modern medicine you pop and ACL you are on the field next year just like you were before. 

     

    This kid is gong to break the market from QB needy teams bidding on him.

     

    He's already made enough money to be set for life, let's see if he can set the high score now. I expect him to go franchise tag 2x then hit the market like Cousins did.

    But Greg Cossell said that we lack talent on offense...

    Here's what he said, it's a pretty spot on assessment. Think think board has shared this opinion for the most part too...

     

    "I think we've become a little enamored with the fact that Allen is so special as a talent, that we lose sight of the fact that this team does not have a real good OL," Cosell said. "They don't have a consistent run game, which they're trying to develop. And really, they have one real good receiver and then a bunch of other guys."

    He concluded that the Bills are too reliant on Allen carrying the team to victory.

    "It's not a super-talented offense," he added. "It's built around Josh Allen being special every single game, and that's hard to play that way."

    He had one lob weird pass that was more of a toss, weird angle. The whole game. He was open most of the game and blocked his ass off. He on Judon most of the game and guess how many sacks the leading sackman in the NFL did last night?

    A weird lob pass at a weird angle 🤣🤣

     

    You crack me up. 

     

    I would pay you to make excuses like this for me when i screw up.

    Nope, didn't see that. I saw it get juggled for a moment. He didn't, under any use of those words completely lose it. 

     

     

    It's a silly rule. I'm not going to claim it was a unfair call, as it was clearly the correct call. Doesn't make it not stupid though. Because it is.

    Lmao the ball flipped around on his chest, in no way did he have control of that thing. It wasn't even close. 

     

    What is silly about asking a player to hold on to the football? I swear you guys are being ridiculous with this. If this was against us you would be slamming the table no way he caught it.

    Did you watch the game last night? 

    I did, and i watched Knox drop another routine pass. Dude is a walking brain fart. Football acumen has not grown. 

     

    But keep the excuses coming is beyond comical at this point.

    He had one drop. One target. The lone target was more of a flip to him... not a normal pass. 

     

    Knox was open all night and Josh just didn't throw him the ball. 

    Oh yeah our Pro Bowl QB ignores the open targets, that's Knox' problem! It's silly the extent you guys go to defend him. 

  14. 8 hours ago, SageAgainstTheMachine said:

    He's a blocking TE because we had a turnstile and a potato at OT today.

    This narrative is complete BS, even with missing time with injury going into last night he has run the 6th most routes of any TE in the league.

     

    He had 0 catches because a lolipop clanked off his hands.

  15. 6 hours ago, Simon said:

    Looks like another day of Knox having to spend half the game working in the backfield.

    Which really sucks because that Pats LB's and S' are fat to be plucked : - (

     

     

    Statistics show this is an entirely false narrative. 

     

    He's run the 6th most routes of any TE in football... and that includes the fact he missed time with injury.

    Where do you live?  No Bills bars around?
     

    Watching at home will definitely save money, but watching with a bar full of Bills fans makes it an experience.  During the 2020 covid season, watching from home just wasn’t the same.  I was jonesing for my bills bar pretty hard

    CT... i have a newborn and the big guy's nap window is the first half (if on Sunday), so he naps on me while i watch the game. 

     

    I've done bills bars, with the way it is now home works best with the ticket.
