I don't see why it's sterilizing the game. Look at the greatest show on turf. I would argue that dome settings are just as part of the game as cold weather teams. If we were the 85 Bears and knew our identity was going to be smash mouth football for the next 20 years, I'd say leave it be. But the game just keeps following the college schemes and passing is the future. I was all about an open air stadium until a few years back, but I've changed my tune

Mariano Rivera is arguably the best MLB closer of all time. Beyond the numbers and championships, the thing that made him so great was that every hitter knew what pitch was coming. When you were down 0-2, the high cutter was coming your way. Posada would literally stand up behind the plate. As a viewer, it almost didn’t make sense why these professional athletes couldn’t hit a pitch that they knew the location and type, yet it just kept happening. If there ever was an example that represented the Bills game, it’s knowing exactly what and who was going to hurt you against the Colts, but being able to do absolutely nothing to stop it. 1 - Wentz - I could talk about how great JT a was, but I think that Wentz barely completing 50% or his passes for just over 100 yards should tell you the story of how a 40 point loss went. Wentz had a few good passes and managers to Houdini out of a sack, but how often do you see games today where the quarterback isn’t relevant. 2 - Penalties - I’m done pointing the finger at the refs or any other conspiracy theorist, we are consistently one of the worst teams for penalties and it’s losing us games. Penalties comes down to coaching for me and McD owns it. If I were him, I would have benched Addison after his roughing penalty. That was absolutely inexcusable and extended another Colts drive. Addison is also the DE who couldn’t tackle Wentz on the escape play. On our first drive, penalties knocked us back from a first down at the 25 to a 3rd and long from the 40, which led to an INT. Penalties bailed the Colts out on 3rd down multiple times. Poyer jumped in with a personal foul hit out of bounds, that added 15 and put the Colts in scoring range. Some want to question the teams toughness, others intensity. No matter what it is, coaches own all things mental and we’ve been far from good since the Titans loss. 3 - Ford - I was surprised to see Ford and Williams be left to block one on one for a lot of the game. And, surprisingly to everyone, Ford did a great job. He handled Buckner a few times and Josh was relatively good to pass on most plays. 4 -So I'm riding away, away Hiding away, away So much talk it makes no sense at all So I'm flying away, away Driving away, away Passing old friends I don't miss at all 5 - Moss - After watching the past few games, I would be good demoting Moss to our 3rd back. Breida showed some good flashes again and Motor even had some solid plays. It’s tough to talk about the running game when you only rush ten times roughly, but everyone seemed to get the memo about upping their game besides Moss. 6 - Special Teams - If you only had to watch one play in this game to know how it went, just watch the McKenzie kickoff return before the half. McKenzie found a way to trip in the open field and then fumble the ball away, with no defenders within 5 yards of him. On a drive that could have setup the halftime double punch and make this an entirely different game, all the McKenzie haters watched in slow motion as their wildest dreams came true. Also, if you needed more of a reason to understand how off this game was, Bass missed two FGs, one that got caught by the wind and off into the stands. 7 - Chiefs - This is a first for me, but I write them so I’ll do what I want. If you watched the Chiefs game, in what was meant to be a passing slug fest, the Chiefs did two things well. They ran the ball to control the clock, going against who they are as a team. And when on defense, they led their highly paid pass rusher stay on the field and get pressure against Dak. While teams have strengths and weaknesses, they are still comprised of NFL players. Our inability to ever show a power run game and our 40+ million defensive rotation line with our first two draft picks, are not showing up at all and it’s killing us. Yes, the Colts were running the ball at will and we weren’t in a pass rush situation often, but that much money on a line who can’t do the one trick of their one trick pony show is a concern. Some teams are built for certain things, and we clearly are not built to win in the trenches. And in a weather game where that matters and we apparently don’t need a dome, we looked like a high school team. 8 - Daboll - I honestly thought Daboll had a decent strategy for this game and continued his varied looks. Execution and penalties were the real killer here, then add on the 3 score deficit. The Bills offense was going right down field until the penalties knocked them back. If they kept going, (yes, I know SDS), then it's reasonable to believe the game is tied at half. Now, going 3 and out to start the second half was bad and I wonder what happened to the scripted plays to start the second half, but I can forgive Daboll for having to play from behind and not being helped by the defense or player mental discipline. 9 - Dome - Whether you want to say we are a physical team or not, there's no denying that we've had multiple games over the past few years that have affected our offense. I understand that both teams need to play in it, but other teams are adjusting better. I also understand wanting a home field advantage in colder weather against warm weather teams. With that being said, I truly believe we need a dome stadium with a retractable roof. If the stadium stays in OP, the money saved will more than cover that feature. Would it have mattered in a game like this? Possibly not. But would Allen have been able to have a little more accuracy and would the drops have been as rampant? I think the team needs to have the option going forward. We aren't playing the Dolphins in the playoffs anymore. Yes, it was fun, and if you miss it we can open the roof. More so, home field advantage doesn't seem to mean much to this team. The fans are as loud as ever, travel well, and I can't think of a game where the team used it to their advantage. 10 - McD - Someone posted on Twitter that the Bucs were 7-5 at this time last year and went on to win the Super Bowl. There are few teams built to dismantle our front line and we've played two of them in the Colts and Titans. The Bucs are coming up and can probably do the same. Does that mean our roster is garbage? No. Each team is built different and it's a passing league. However, coaches can typically scheme to adjust for weaknesses and I have a big issue that we seem to be crippled by the loss of Star, Edmunds, Mongo, and Spencer. I understand that they are starters, but 2 of them didn't even play last year and we got it done. McD needs to get this team more disciplined and ready to adjust to other schemes. This loss is as much on him as it is anyone else. And going forward, I believe the Bills need to make the business decision about their roster in terms of who is at a higher risk to play in games. We can't keep hoping not to lose guys from week to week and have it affect the team. I respect everyone's decision to do what is right for themselves and their body, but I also respect that this is a business and you need to put the best product on the field. If there is a player that you can't rely on to be out there all 17 games, then you need to make the appropriate moves to be prepared. On to the Saints on a short week and then home Monday Night against the Pats. We are no longer in the driver's seat, nor are we the media darlings we were. Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe the players bought into the hype. Regardless, they haven't looked right on offense all year and need to figure it out. If they get on track in December, the rest of the season doesn't matter. These next few weeks are crucial and I still Billieve we are playing for the one seed. Go Bills!!!

I've heard of him!

Didn't they just make a deal with him in the offseason? I'm so confused

I just don’t understand why he would opt out if he was so afraid or Covid and then not get vaxed

Does that confirm he is unvaxed?

Stadiums I wouldn’t mind: Baltimore Seattle Stadiums I would hate: Pittsburgh Jacksonville I really would like a dome as I think the weather stuff gets old and it would be more attractive for other events, but I know that’s not happening at this point. However, I can’t think of a logical reason as to why anymore

Not 97? Are you even a fan?

Agreed. This is why I want us to have a dome. I feel like cold weather teams are a thing of the past and it only really helps in playoff games. However, with our fans and the league being a passing one, I have zero concerns with HFA in the playoffs. It will make Josh better and that is what's most important

Colts 10 Bills 3 Bills defense shows up again as the Colts only TD comes on a fumble return off Motor. Allen runs for his life all game as Sanders is placed at Right Tackle.

Did he not win the Sh*tiest Human award last month and felt he needed to up his game?

If he is unvaccinated and misses two games, does he still get paid?

10k views in 2 hours. That is impressive. Like, Mario Williams in town for a FA visit impressive

Fair enough. Your cat is stupid

I hate you. I hate your smug name. I hate your dog. As the messenger, and as someone who is obviously responsible for this happening, I'm going to direct all my anger towards you

I’m glad you clarified with on Mike White vs Tre What did Klein grade?

It was on WGR after One Bills Live. Not sure what show it was on.

Can the player refuse to be signed? Dumb question, but I’d rather stay with the Bills with a legit shot of making the team next year than go to the Jets

huh?

I was listening to WGR today and they talked about Beasley’s contract being free to void after this season and thinking McKenzie filling that role. This got me thinking….. To me, Beasley had proven to be incomparable when it comes to finding open spaces in the zone and when our offense if clicking, Allen’s best 3rd down option. On broken plays, he also finds open space and has incredibly reliable hands. When we brought Sanders in, many of these traits were supposedly the same for him, but I haven’t seen that so far. Also, I haven’t seen anything from McKenzie to make me think he could fill that role if Beasley left. Now, I don’t know how much all of that Covid stuff bothered the front office or his relationships with the team, but he seems to be a staple to this offense and I would love to see him finish his career here. Diggs, Beasley, and Davis is a solid starting 3 to me. However, this is my perception and I’m curious to hear others

I actually lived in Manassas for a few years, back in 2018. I still go back for McKays used book store

Eric Wood talked about this yesterday saying that Gabe’s health hasn’t been 100% all season and it really hindered him. The Jets game was the first one he was full go, and we saw the result.

No. 3-3-5, maybe

I saw that on the TV and was wondering if people were just late to their seats. How was parking and getting in and out of the area? I want to attend a game there next year.

Can the Jets time his termination to when Frazier leaves? I actually really like him as a defensive coordinator.
