  1. 1, a surprise - John Butler vet coach was let go - he posted his accomplishments on social media - weird vibe all around- reading into,,,I should be the DC and if not do I really wanna be here... 2, Kair Elam - social media post about Butler - "No comment"...source WGR radio this morning
  2. true dat...he is from Hamptn-VA Beach area and was a top regional recruit, originally leaning to staying in state to attend UVA, but he said his dream school was always Carolina, not just spurning a Virigna school but going to an ACC rival pissed a lot of people off....he likley went to play basketnall as well: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/awards/men/rsci-recruit-rankings-1998.html even tho he did not pan-out to be a star he did make the NFL and hung-around for several season, returning kicks amongst receiving duties...I guess he comes from the Sean Payton-Drew Brees coaching tree Brady, who went to a VA school as well (W&M) and played reciever, likely hired someone who helped him break into the NFL as well; albeit with some credentials. Best case sceanrio: suddenly younger coaches in their 30s are getting HC jobs so if Bills have a great offensive season and Brady gets HC, Curry could become OC...if Josh approves...
  3. Happy for coach Frazier as he is good man...happier that he has moved on as his plannig-schemes and gameday decisions are old-stale and he owns some-most of the 13 seconds debacle which has wrecked the credibility of the head coach with the fanbase..
  4. I hope they do as Babich has interviewed with the Giants and now Dolphins about their open DC positions...as vet DCs Martindale and Fagio got their walking papers after 2 and 1 year respectively)...
  5. some surprise plays are needed...apparently so are acting lessons... over the decafes...fake punts, screen passes (other than Chan Gailey era) and draw plays have rarely been executed well in Bills history I give Daboll credit for running the most trick plays and tackle eligible passes in team history. Longest gain from scrimmage yesterday for Bills was 15 yards...chiefs has several - 8 I believe how about a bomb or two...not just a show-me-one.... with a max protect blocking scheme.
  6. Deep down...did you really expect anything else other than this torture ? or 3rd string linebackers give it up as vet D line underperforms
  7. no effing way...he ran the show here in DC...his defense was embarassing to the point there were in-season firings of his DC and DB coach after the Cowboys embarassed them on national TV over thanksgiving day...further the Dolphins toyed with them in the penultimate game of this past season and it was a mis-match all game trying to cope with the Dolphins offense. Sweat and Young - first round D picks - underperfomed and were dumped in trades bringing back some picks for the rebuild which managment was not going to let him touch. Another recent-epic defensive blunder - 2023 first round he drafted under-sized Emmanuel Forbes - 6-1 - 166 pounds when he could have drafted Christian Gonzalez who was taken with next pick by the Pats...Forbes had 5 starts - 411 snaps - no PBU - 1 pick -his lite build and tackling ability are highly questionable esp for the 16th overall pick. get to the Super Bowl once and you are a made man...he game has passed him by......I think his time has come...
  8. Bless me Mafia brethern for I have sinned... Thought about in May, set aside money in June and bought two tickets for this game last July...excited-hopeful Tried to make it work in Sept and Oct but for various reasons sold them in Nov for a profit - tried-frustrated Took the money and bought tires for my SUV in Dec for that personal Xmas thingy and a trip to NYC-MSG-Phish - the rebound Now that its Jan I stand by the decision, next season I will double down for that missed road trip, or maybe a home playoff game this season - sobering regret I ask for your forgiveness amidst the temporal punishment of your deserved flaming...being a sadist-masochist comes with decades of being a Bills fan However-whatever I will not turn in my tear-beer stained membership card....hoping for the best ...expecting the worst...cuz thats what life as Bills fan is with 95% probability to make the playoffs..its the 5% percent that is so Billsy
  9. much luv for Trey and I dont want to disagree but..but..but...look at our cap next season, there has to be cuts and Trey could be on...as well do plan to play him at with his big cap at age 29 with achilles recovery over Benford ? Elam and Jackson could be the backups...Treys cap does not fit him as backup IMHO
  10. Kelce most times is not the first option, he seems to float-delay-read-react to find the open space in the zone cleared by the other route runners with more speed..how do you defend.. key plays during the 13 seconds fiasco were exactly done this way...and we keep seeing due to Mcd; achiiles heel of dont get beat with the quick-deep strike where safeties play in the next area code
  11. yeah so its a free app with any modern internet TV under Pluto...on Sundays-gamedays its a poor mans redzone as they cover all games with highlights-scores-etc...timing-delay of these is not too shaby either
  12. guaran-freaking-teed: 1. conservative McD + conservtive Pegula = 1 more year of mutual admiration 2. justifiication - McD gets the benefit of the doubt based on legacy culture change of being a "winner" plus major injuries to the D...makes usual 1-2 sacrificial staff changes..invites Frazier back as consultant... 3. fanbase has pretty much fired McD - had 1 foot in the grave after the epic fail of 13 seconds - will be interesting to see if Diggs goes off during end-of-season review-interview and issues ultimatum...keep him or me..but not both.
  13. same with me...born and raised in the 716...moved away decades ago...but Buffalo is always home...its where our heart and soul grew to love sports..not just any sports...Bills football and Sabres hockey...its a Buffalo thing until the very end...
  14. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/eziDMpjLiLG5WZZw/?mibextid=XDzfc5 a. submitted for comic relief b. symbolic...no ? c. Is Joe Brady related to Tom Brady ? ? d. well if you still want to educaated-entertained...
  15. a very good question, I dont think the OC gets canned after a win, but the guy was a dead man walking so it was just a matter of time... Its fair to say that coach McD has lost the fanabase as he already had one foot in the grave after the epic 13 seconds fiasco...but the bigger issue is...has he lost the locker-room... as well...come end of season I dont want Diggs saying...him or me.
  16. life lesson..if you cant love someone or something at their worst, you dont deserve them or it at their best... I love my team and always will despite moving away from WNY decades ago...yeah this sucks and they just make it hard sometimes..besides who else ya gonna root for....no matter...it wont be the same
  17. he is good at pounding beers with Josh and his Bills buddies at Sabres games in Josh suite
  18. well hell yeah were chasing Miami and Jaz and Balt is improved and our safeties are older-slower and as far as corners go..the best is seriously hurt - again - a 6th rounder beats out a first rounder and the rest are backups one of which had to start, one is 35 and out of football for over a year...and oh yeah Dean Marlowe is not available
  19. I would think it would be English-speaking country or where it is spoken regularly...pre-season games would act as research... candidates: Ireland, Italy (Rome)... Hawaii, Australia
  20. very good, very funny, makes me wonder if they rely on writers or is this all within the retired qb room or not ? OT: Man does Reese works for me on so many levels starting with looks, personality, humor
  21. this about as much insight as we can expect from an interview, proof is that there is a Bills rep putting the kibosh on the Shorter response as Josh was about to go deep...I also sense a seismic change in Josh, given his jettison of long-time smokeshow party/galpal Brittany W in favor of the more cereral/subdued Hailee and the fasting more pooping lifestyle changes he has made..if anyone has Brittany contact info pls pass along as I got Eagles tix at MSG next week and have an extra.
  22. not a best practice esp of a Hall of Fame coach, interesting to see who his backup (imrprovement ?) turns out to be.. as far as the Bills. go with a vet a qb2 for sure, with Barkley on IR you have another vet in the qb room to help but for active qb3 ? young athletic project that we could hang onto for a few years would likely be good...for the scout teams in practice, saves us a mid-late round pick every-other year, and at some point becomes qb2 ? Note: less than half of the NFL has a qb3 on roster as of today.
  23. make it happen Beane..two major reasons: 1. better backup qb depth for sure - Kyle Allen is too erratic...Barkley is good in the room but poor in the field 2. need to protect and gain that holy grail of third or fourth rounder to draft tne next dwarf linebacker with chronic injury history or an athletic OL that cannot perform the basics of the position.
  24. I like the guy...followed him on Twitter as he was: JakeFrommStateFarm...hot mom always helps the cause... But it was garbage time, 3rd stringers versus 3rd stringers...if you want stir the bottom of the roster and have a younger version of Matt Barkley have at it...
