This really makes you wonder who Lombardi’s source is. Flores had a reputation as being tough but not abusive toward his players. If he said that I’d like to know the context. He could have said it as a joke and patted him on the back. Still probably not the best think to joke about… but I can’t see him saying this seriously

Grill hot dogs over a garbage car fire…perfect

Back in the day it was the go to spot after last call at 4AM. Nothing was better than a foot long chicken finger sub at 4:30 AM!

Wow really….

One of my favorite late nights places is Jim’s Steakout. Awesome. Awesome subs. It’s open all night but the closest location might be Amherst. But you could always get it delivered to the stadium via GrubHub and then eat on the way home. If you want, you can get Jim Streakout delivered through GrubHub.

He lives for football and is rare breed. I can see him coaching into his 70’s but yeah at some point he will need to slow down

No he is… literally. They owe him $17M over the final 3 years of his deal. A nice little nest egg for him and his family. It has to be killing him though. He waited his whole career for this and ended up getting screwed

Yeah it’s a bad situation all around. Houston wasn’t the Trainwreck everyone expected them to be

I feel bad for him but he knew exactly what he getting into. There’s a reason Brian Daboll refused to interview in Houston. It was Caserio’s plan from the start to hire a coach short term considering the roster was the weakest in the NFL and would not be desirable to big name. Someone like Daboll who has 20 some years of coaching ahead of him can afford to be selective. Older coaches like Culley or Frazier do not. As soon as they hired Culley everyone suggested he was set up to fail. They picked him as he had lots of coaching experience that would be agreeable and would help with the locker room culture and team PR. He was not really qualified to be a head coach, having never worked above a position level coach for 30 years. I’ll say he made the most of a bad situation and fated a lot better than most expected. It is pretty ***** how they treated him but then again, we are talking about Houston Texans. At the end of the day, this was what he signed up for.

His knowledge is outstanding but he’ll need a speech coach if he wants to get into broadcasting. Also needs a very charismatic play-by-play man. It’s amazing how much clear he talks here versus his press conference where he simply mumbles. On a side note, listen to him talk about Josh. I read that after Josh beat them in NE last year, BB spent a few extra moments talking on the field to Josh which was unusual for a younger QB. I thibk he has a lot of respect for him as a QB.

I’m not saying they should be sued or arrested…just called out for going on social media and posting information that wasn’t accurate. While the subject matter wasn’t terribly important, they did spread misinformation which is very annoying. I think people should ever consider Trainwreck Sports to be about as reputable as the “insiders” we’ve had on this message board. There was no truth with what they reported

He hasn’t played well in the cold that’s for sure

Trainwreck Sports are getting a massive pass on this. They should be taken to task for putting out incorrect news. I know that no one cares since they are just a blog site, but that was very irresponsible. They reported that an agreement had been reached…this simply is not the case. It’s ridiculously annoying that people trusted Kevin Massare who clearly has no real sources

Maybe on a couple throws but on the ones the he highlighted wind wasn’t a factor. It was Josh throwing the ball in one spot on the receivers anticipating he’d be throwing it in another.

https://theathletic.com/3067182/2022/01/12/the-bills-win-could-have-been-even-bigger-and-harrison-phillips-steals-the-show-all-22-film-review/?source=user_shared_article According to his breakdown, the passing inefficiency was likely due to Josh and the receivers not being on the same page. Josh saw big plays to be had by Davis and Knox but they just read the routes differently. Had they don’t this, there could have been some big plays. A few other interesting notes to watch for next week: Harrison Phillips was excellent both as a run defense and pass rusher and scored an “A” grade. Ed Oliver had a ridiculous pressure rate of 27% and even lined up at DE for 2 plays and had a sack on 1. This could be a sign of what’s to come. Daboll used Tommy Doyle as a 6th blocker to good success. He’s been a mauler and the offense averaged 6.7 on plays when he essentially lined up at TE. So while they won by 17, it seems like the score could have even been more lopsided if it weren’t for the breakdowns in the passing game. Highest grades Bills: 1. Phillips (A) 2. Diggs (A-) 3. Hughes (A-) 4. Oliver (A-) 5. Allen (A-) Lowest graded Bills: 27. Bates C+ 28. Brown C+ 29. Rosseau C+ 30. Davis C+ 31. Williams C+

Don’t trust Rockpile Report. They often are incorrect. Sal on WGR said he was NOT signed and that the report not accurate.

I’ve sent the fundraiser get a lot of criticism online. I don’t have a problem with it but just hope people don’t take advantage of the Bills fan community. He was asking for $3k and got $9K

Ahhhh….The weekly Jim Kubiak recap. The 3rd down conversions were bad but given then distance, first and second down were problems as well. All in all, that 3rd quarter was just plain ugly. Allen played terrible

I find that reporters who had advocated strongly for better use of analytics on 4th down are the ones firmly supporting Staley and making excuses for him. To me, he’s right on a lot of his decisions but he’s also cost his team a few games this season including Week 18. To make matters worse, he’s been bailed out by Justin Herbert’s incredible play. If he didn’t have that, it would be way worse but…perhaps that’s why he takes the risks he does

Its going to be really hard because of their limitations on offense. They can’t really run the ball and Ben pushing the ball downfield looks downright painful. Plus their WR’s are talented but seem to drop a lot of passes. If they are able to play the way they played the Bills in Week 1 then they have a chance. They’ll need to force 3 turnovers and convert into touchdowns. But I don’t see them belong able to keep KC around 20 points. I also think it’s a challenge for Pittsburgh to score 20 points. Either Najee Harris has a career game or Ben just have to heave up passes and hope that his WR’s can make the circus catches they did in Buffalo.

So can we talk how this blog basically posted speculation as fact? For some reason, no one wants to call out Train Wreck Sports but they have disputed the signing report in a nice way. I was suspicious from the start. Check out how they qualify their claim: “Barring a physical/Covid snag, Lawson will rejoining the Bills at some point in the future.” You don’t see journalists report vague information like this if they have legit sources. My guess is that whoever wrote this article made the jump from discussion between the Bills and Shaq. It still might happen, but again, I think this is simply speculation that they jumped the gun to be the first to “break” news. Here’s how the Buffalo media (who acknowledges bloggers) reacted. They have basically refuted their report in a nice way:

I know what you mean but there was no guarantee that Mitch would see action.The Bills wanted to sign him as an insurance policy and still might need him if worst comes to worst. Also not sure how much he anticipated playing. There have been many dominate offenses and we’ve rarely seen the backup QB get substantive reps.

A lot of great WR talent. The class lived up to its hype. Before the horrific accident Ruggs has having a pretty good year. I don’t think we’ve heard the last of Jeudy either. I’m really high on CeeDee Lamb as well. Gave stacks up well to them and I’m expecting big things from him next year as he should be the unchallenged WR2

Thanks for clarifying. Probably thinking about the recent trade rumors

You might be right. Ironically last year Tim Graham interviewed Buddy Nix who told him “we were THIS close to drafting Russell Wilson,” even though he doesn’t seem like the traditional type of QB Buddy coveted.
