I’d like to see McKenzie Re-signed. I think he has a lot of potential as an offensive weapon

There was some of that, for sure. But I think his overall message that football or leadership is a “people business” made a lot of sense.

Ever since Josh appeared on the podcast last Spring I’ve been listening to 10 Questions with Kyle Brandt. He had on Dan Patrick in his recent episode who talked about breaking news. Patrick claimed that he had on good authority that Seattle tried to trade Russell Wilson to Chicago because they wanted to draft Josh Allen in the 2018 NFL draft. He said he didn’t break the news because he went with the info that Baker Mayfield was going to be the #1 pick. This is interesting and I trust DP but I don’t know…on one hand, Chicago had the #8 pick that year. The Bills did want to trade up for Allen, initially higher than 7, so there must have been some competition. There were also Russ to Chicago rumors this past Spring as well. On the other hand, Trubisky was coming off of his best season with Chicago. They surely couldn’t have invited turning the page already after trading up for him the season before? It’s an scenario that I’m not 100% sure if but it really would be interesting if too, and also show that there was more competition to trade up for Josh behind-the-scenes. The topic starts are 64:00

This is a great video from Falcons DC Dean Pees in regards to the recent movement of hiring the young analytics-based, fairly inexperienced HC’s in the NFL. Yes, there’s a bit of “back in my day” in this rant but the overall message is spot on…you need to your dues to be an effective leaders. It is funny because analytics Twitter has been up in arms trying to misrepresent what he said. Call me crazy - but I like this guy:

He was always a bad choice for GM. He proved that he couldn’t rebuild Carolina and has no business trying to rebuild NYG. I think he was hired because he’s a native NY’er.

I think this is completely true. The Bills best themselves (Pittsburgh, Jacksonville) and lost 3 games by 1 score (Tennessee, NE, and TB) They probably should have 13 to 14 wins. But they made it into the playoffs and given the weather at home, it makes you wonder if the Bills are better off playing in the road in the postseason

Miami tried pretty hard to give Marino good targets. He had everyone from Keith Byars, to Keith Jackson, Irving Fryar, OJ McDuffie, etc. He just could never get over the hump

Oh yeah…. can really from that practice footage that he’s back to 100%🙄

It was a good team from what I can remember, but wasn’t that the game where Bruce Smith sat out a playoff game in Pittsburgh with the flu? Bills didn’t play well but it’s a different game if he suits up

Sorry Message board monitor

I dream of having Tim Tindale as RB3

If you watched the first few series, they moved the ball really well until that INT. That kind of flipped the game. At worst Buffalo goes up 17-2. At best in 21-2. The second INT was just a miscommunication at an in opportune time. Also a great play by Terrell. The third was bad luck off a tipped pass. One thing Atlanta did well was take away Dawson Knox. It seemed to throw the offense off a little. I think if they needed to, the Bills could have passed the ball. They just saw an opportunity in the run game and took advantage. That’s why I don’t believe this was truly Josh’s worst outing despite his bad numbers

Building a stadium with a dome seems like a no-brainer. The only argument against is that return on the investment might be there. Although Buffalo *could* host more events during the winter months, in actuality it might only be a few more events each year. The income from those events would not significant pay off the cost of building the roof. I think it’s going to be a mistake to spend that much money without a retractable roof - or at least the option of adding one down the line

Thats why I think the idea of the retractable roof should have been entertained. Conditions in the winter games are miserable

Awful… the weather is so terrible. Time to build a dome

Pretty crazy, just checking out the prices for the game on Sunday. The tickets seem to be selling for super cheap. You can buy 300 level seats for $8. $8!!!!!! Everywhere else seems cheap as well. Endzone for $50? Am I missing something? I guess there are some reasons for this: Vaccination Mandate Bad weather Issues with Canadian border Lack of interest in Week 18? Any other thoughts why ticket prices would be so low? Its a bit surprising considering the Bills could win the AFC East Championship with a victory. Could this be a sign fans are sick of the crappy winter weather? https://www.ticketmaster.com/buffalo-bills-vs-new-york-jets-orchard-park-new-york-01-09-2022/event/00005A8799AF1DE4

That would be one helluva trio. If you’re Dungy though, why go back to grind when he has a cake job with NBC?

You have to be the most skeptical and negative Bills fan in this forum….and that’s saying a lot. Every one of your comments is trashing the team

While his ball placement and accuracy could have been better, I didn’t think it was THAT bad of a game. Not one of his best by any means but it wasn’t a disaster either and despite the stat line, it didn’t look like 2019 Josh Allen. The INT’s sucked but 2 out of the 3 came off tipped passes which involves some degree of bad luck. Even the throw to Beasley appeared to be a big miscommunication. I think Josh still could have passed the ball but the team had so much success running they stayed with it. So while the stats are terrible, I don’t think it was worst game.

This is where I am

Signing Allen to the deal this summer was a very smart move by Beane. Yes you can say his numbers are down a bit from last year, but they are in the ballpark. Also, the offensive line is markedly worse than last season and Josh has been able to overcome it more time that not. I think both teams end up giving Lamar and Baker their 5th year and wait to make a decision. Cleveland and Baltimore had a pretty bad season with injuries/COVID/OBJ so I think they may wait one more year

I don’t love this

Yeah I believe it does. It happened only once a few decades ago. After the Tampa Bay loss, I was thinking the Bills would be the team that missed out…phew

Terrible. Heavy.com just reports chatter on Twitter. There’s no reliable source behind this article. Might as well publish “Bills will fire Sean McDermott after NE according to TSW”

Hell no. Part of the reason why Spring leagues don’t work is that you need somewhat of a reprieve from sports. The off-season, gives fans a re-charge while anticipating builds for the start of a new year. How many failed leagues have to created and closed before people understand? If anything, I think a product like the Arena League had the right idea by offering a product that was a little different from traditional NFL/college football
