[Has Tyrel Dodson really showed that much improvement? Currently PFF's only 90+ backer.]

He's playing WLB and not MLB, which has been a huge factor.  He is absolutely terrible as an MLB.

He has to listen to low IQ, clueless people who have no idea what they are talking about constantly calling and spouting nonsense call after call...it gets tiring after a while.

 

He should get mad at his screener, not the caller.  He doesn't have to take any calls he doesn't want to.

I've mentioned this in other threads...

It's very odd players never approach/sit by/talk to Allen on the sidelines.  And Allen doesn't approach other players.  Something is not right there,  especially considering Allen has always come off as "down to earth".

 

The diggs off-season mini drama has to be related.

 

 

This is the new norm for QBs and I just don't understand it.  Watch other games, this is not just an Allen thing.  Burrow and Mahomes are the same way.  They just sit on one end of the bench by themselves with some coach.  A far cry from the days of Brady and Manning ripping into teammates and coaches on sideline.  

 

For people that sit behind bench, do QBs call up and talk to OCs that are in the booth?

[McDermott weird comments about Josh Allen]

Josh has that look of emptiness.  Can't help but think being in Buffalo without Britt is getting to him.  Everything happened with them so late in season that he was constantly traveling right after they broke up.  After months in Buffalo, I bet it doesn't feel like it has the previous 5 years for him.   We have all been there when a place doesn't feel like home anymore and you just start going through the motions.

Sal C was just brought on by Jeremy and Joe and he goes - "Listen you're not allowed to say anybody in the media asks a good question, it's not allowed around here"

 

My gosh, tell us all again how you pack your clothes for a road trip, or what Max thinks of Rob Ray. 

 

 

 

It's everyday with him.  He immediately goes into some confrontational attitude.

Sal is miserable. Constantly reminding guests and hosts that he "works for the Bills" and "I'm on the field for games"....cool, dude. I generally like the other WGR hosts but Sal is the worst. Can never be wrong either.

 

Miserable is a good description.  Miserable sports radio gets tiresome.  A reason why Pardon My Take has become the top sports audio out there.  People would rather listen to something easy going, vs some old man literally acting like miserable old man.

The minute he starts trashing Sean, he loses all access to the the team. It's self preservation. Same goes for Chris Brown and Tasker. Both Bills employees. Last week Tasker said the Bills would be "punting the season" if they fired Dorsey. Yesterday, he said something had to change.

 

It's not about trashing any part of the organization.  It's his tone and attitude that's the issue.  I don't really have an issue with anything he says about the Bills.

 

Today he was treating a caller like a child because the caller said the media needs to do a better job at following up on questions why McDermott doesn't answer the question that was asked.  Sal acted like he was talking to a 10 year old child who was about to get reprimanded.  It was an embarrassing look.

[Sal Capaccio - Why so angry?]

I don't seek out Sal, really don't have time to listen to lots of audio, but he is usually on the WGR 550 morning show for a half hour, and the guy is so angry and argumentative.  It's a tough listen.  What happened to this guy?  He was always the positive light in a dark cloud when the Bills weren't very good.  He was a guy that I would look for his stuff that he would post when he lived in Florida.  He seems to be getting more condescending and wanting to constantly pick fights with everyone.  Not just the callers, but also the other hosts. 

 

He needs a reset or something, but who would want to listen to someone that like constantly?

 

Is my opinion out of line?  The segment this morning and yesterday were embarrassing for him.

yet here we are, having this discussion.  Pegula's only positive decisions have been those 2 hirings---and now the water is circling the bowl.  And that's what you want to point out--the 2 architects of Bills ultimate futility over the past 3 or so years, as things are now falling apart??

 

You should see the things discussed on this message board.  Just because something is discussed here doesn't really mean anything.

 

Falling apart to who?  Maybe to you, but you're not the one making the decisions.  To the ones making the decisions, they could view this as part of being an NFL team.  Teams have ups and downs. EVERY TEAM.

He's fired everyone and took over the Bills and the Sabres.  He's not very good at either, it turns out.  But at least he got rid of those execs having a consensual relationship!!

 

At least he has those soothing billions....that where I would turn to about now

 

Beane and McDermott have been rated as a top 5 team through the last 3 or so years.  To say he wasn't good at bringing in them is so ridiculous.  It says more about you saying that than it does Pegula.

 

There is no such thing as a consensual relationship in the corporate world within different hierarchies.  Lawsuit waiting to happen.

How do you not have contingency plans? Top 5 isn’t good enough. This fanbase deserves a Super Bowl victory. If the Pegula’s think we are going to be happy with playoff appearances and losing them, they got another thing coming. 

 

Contingency plans for what?  One bad season in a 5 year stretch?  

 

Whatever man.  Lots of fanbases can't stand the Bills fanbase now, and I understand it.  A far cry from where the fan base was 10-15 years ago.

I mean if things are so bad, why not just sell the team? They would make a profit and could just enjoy each other’s company while they can. Or at the least pass it down to their kids now and stay away from the stress. I want owners who are as much or more than a rabid fan than this rabid fanbase. It doesn’t feel like they feel our pain as fans. 

 

Bro, this isn't a car or house.  Do you understand what it takes to sell an NFL team, or even pass it down to the kids?!  It's a multi year process.  Kim got ill over night.  

 

You really think the kids would be any better at running the team?  Terry has made the Bills a top 5 most relevant team in the entire NFL since his ownership took over.  I

Unfortunately for the Pegula, it hasn't been about just his teams winning.  Kim has been in really bad shape.  This is life and death, not some score in a game.

Then the Bills need coaches who can first help Josh mentally, then exaggerate his ceiling and reduce the 'floor' plays. Josh is a problem but the coaches are doing nothing to solve it; indeed I think they're making the issue worse.

 

The guy is 26 years old, a 45 million dollar a year QB.  You want to rely on a coach to fix that type of QB?!?  It's on Allen.  The plays are there and he has full authority to change the play at the line.

[Josh’s off seasons]

Do Nothing in Offseason

 

Quote

We’ve seen Allen taking part in plenty of golf during that time, but he does save room for… nothing.

To each their own the QB said. For him and his game, the best offseason activity is just to chill out.

Allen thinks the most important thing he can do when it’s not football season is to allow his body time to repair and get healthy, as he even goes as far as doing minimal working out until the start of spring practices.

 

With this quote in mind, everyone go watch Tom vs Time.

[Josh Allen 177 yards and 2 INTs]

One line I can't take anymore, "We are WASTING someone as talented as Josh Allen."  Allen has elite physical traits, but he does not think the game or have the preparation of an elite QB.  Allen's early success was much about the schedule we played and the league playing "prove it" with Allen.  Now teams know how to mentally confuse him, and he isn't capable of fixing that.  Allen is part of the problem, stop acting like he isn't.

[Do the Pegulas Have What It Takes?]

I feel bad for Terry.  The guy can't catch a break.  He gave complete control of organization to Beane and McDermott and they make mistake after mistake.  He is dealing with trying to keep his wife alive.  He hires qualified people to run PSE and stadium decisions, only for them completely disrespect him and start a relationship with each other.  

 

I don't even know where to turn anymore.  The guy has to feel like his world is crumbling around him.

First there's some people don't like anything

 

Second Steve McDuffie has a great reputation in Buffalo by people that know him... Has been nominated for national coach of the year

 

Has won State coach of the year..  keeps kids in School... Helps kids graduate .. helps keep kids off the street

 

Has sent plenty of kids to college for a further education and to play sports

 

The east side is some of the roughest areas in the country..  some of the lowest graduation rates in the country..  he keeps kids in school and graduating

 

Also if it was that easy then every Buffalo public School should be able to put together a super team... A city going from never having a state champion

 

To having a perennial powerhouse and the best double a football team in New York state is a tremendous achievement

 

It literally takes a lot to keep kids who are potentially going to go to gangs in school and off the street..  McDuffie has done a lot for the city of buffalo 

 

It's silly to come in here and bash what he has done for the program

 

When did I bash him?  He literally had wins taken away for cheating, and that was just the one time he was caught.

 

You never answered my question though.  Wasn't there a rule change that allowed all the top athletes to go to one school?  Isn't the pool not equal?  Like I feel like in Lancaster, OP, Jamestown, etc, they can only have kids that play in those districts.  I think for Bennett, they can get kids from any Buffalo school.  Like Hutch Tech now is terrible and I heard its because those kids play for Bennett now.

[Bennett HS (Buffalo)]

Wasn't there a rule changed that allowed Buffalo kids to play on whatever team they wanted?  Pretty sure that has been the reason why Bennett is good, not McDuffie.

 

Also, McDuffie does not have a good reputation within WNY HS football.

[[Name Only Title] Tyler Bass]

Drives me bonkers how high he kicks the ball.  He gets way too much height under the ball.  He needs to change the trajectory of his kicks.  The higher the ball, the more opportunity for the ball to move while in air.  Needs to put his pitching wedge away and pull out the driver.

[Twitter - Josh, Von called players only meeting (reporter also mentioned possibility at McD presser)]

I will never forget after the Giants game Josh told the defense, the offense let them down and it needed to change.

 

Josh comes out the next game and throws an INT on first play.

 

Josh is all talk, no action.  His mind has been elsewhere for about 2 years now.  The KC playoff game propelled him into a tier of celebrity status that he has fallen in love with more than the game.
