First Round Bust

we can't ignore how the long ball looks in Bills practices either, if it not working succesfully during the week why use it on Sunday...but a surprise stretch play with a max protect call on say first down or second and short should be dialed-up at times...

agree...I cant see Pegula firing McD unless we slip from making the playoffs...for say 2 years in a row. in that case firing and hiring a new coach would mean roster overhaul...Josh may or may not be in for that..press the rebuild button in that case...

Tomlin's head coaching record as of the end of the 2024 season is a regular season record of 187-109-2 (4-3 in 2025) and a playoff record of 8-11. He has a career regular season win percentage of .631 and a playoff win percentage of .421, has won one Super Bowl..(41-45 in coach challenges/video reviews) .holds the record for most consecutive non-losing seasons to begin a coaching career with 18 and has never had a losing season..only Tom Landry (21) more non-loosing seasons Said to make 16M per. Similarities to McDemott: 91-47....659 winning percent..7-7 in playoffs... 1 loosing season out of 8...(11-27 in coach challenges/video reviews) William and Mary mates...defensive "wizards" who figure it out and win enough to keep the contracts coming but have post-season blemishes that irritate and frustrate... Further..McDermott... as the clock ticks off the years of his franchsoe QB...has never won a playoff road game and if NE wins the AFC East Bills will be on the road for the entire playoffs loosing one of the best home field advantages of weather and crowd... So the same narrative applies more or less

WGR AM show brought up an interesting point yesterday...historically thrwoing the long ball (touch, loft, accuracy) has not been one of Josh strenghts...a point I have made over the years as well..partly his fault, partly the WR issue...resulting the OC play-calling not having confidence in that play and talking himself out of it ??? flame on...

so the kid says...I know what UPL stands for..Usually Plays Lousy....

OJ 273 yards... breaking his own record https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhqzVtwwKVg https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1538380783508542 Thanksgiving Day 1976 - Bills lost to Detroit - 27-14 Kind of a summary of the Bills during the OJ era - gaudy personal stats and medioce-at-best teams that lost to the Phins for the entire freaking decade fueling the anger-frustation for those of us that lived thru years of that crap... Coach Saban quits the team (again)...Starting QB Ferguson hurt mid-season..and you can figure the rest...

X it and O until you want...debate the schemes, play calls, reads, routes, adjustments, etc...but NE made a few esp clutch plays than we did (maye played just as good or better than Josh which is usually reserved for KC-Ravens games only, plus gonalez had a key PBU on Kinkaid on 3rd down which dened a first down and late game clock control, add Diggs having his best game in 3-4 years plus the excerssive amt of penatlies and turnovers and a starting WR grounded for the first O series..adds up to a mere 3 point agonizing loss.. coulda, shouda, woulda...the McD mantra

play of the game - after review the knee was just above ground as pass is released - check it on youtube. As a Bills fan, I hate to say , but I predicted and won money based on Pats winning - Maye and Diggs played the best game of their lives and Bills were sloppy with turnovers...a Bills loss is usually agonizingly close and this was no exception...you can also say the defensive play of the game was where Gonzalez sprinted for PBU on 3rd down pass Kinkaid as Bills were driving and had to settle for FG and not the TD and clock control...onward

related news to the Ireland game - on friday nite Skylar Thompson Steelers 3rd qb now on IR was jumped and robbed and suffered minor injuries in Dublin...NFL security investigating - he was the fins unkown QB who almost beat the Bills in playoffs a few years ago...

Can’t use an app……..skus old - wrong the ticketmaster app was full of users and bots harvesting tickets to be primarily sold on secondary markets at higher prices

true dat...logged on 15 mins pror to noon for get one freaking ticket to the Phish NYE show at MSG and I was number 111,567 in queue...at 12:16 they posted tickets are now limited and you may not get any...talk about a monopoly...

pass rush - organic DL not the blitz variety - besides the 13 seconds travesty, this has been the overall biggest weakness-challenge of the McD defense, will mask the below average play of the post Hyde-Poyer safeties, and high third down converions...god help us

I would cut most most of you and only keep those that agree with my posts, sign of the time..replace with strippers...sign of the times

Point is...unlike other broadcasters, Brady is physically not allowed on-site to do the network prep work, he meets remotely, so the NFL decided that distancing is enough to keep him from gaining competetive advantages-insights to share with the Raiders...you can aruge that he gets more intel from being around the opponents pre-game, game, stadium,etc as part of his Sunday job which only has another 8+ years to go.. if you want to rip Brady up leave it to Nikki G - language, strong R rating - like being at a Bills game

old news - cap needed for current season IR, PS and roster elevetions etc... new news - hope they included a specific bonus to keep Dawkins getting overly-emotional during Jets game per usual and loosing focus with stupid penalties.
