Bob in STL

John Rauch liked to use OJ as a decoy.

I watched it in a very loud Bills Backer Sports Bar. It was confusing to say the least. I had to text friends to decipher why the Cook’s run, which was called a TD on the field but wasn't, was called back and ended up 1st and 16 - apparently we had a penalty but no flag was indicated. Next, We thought Knox had a TD catch, it was called a TD on the field, and then was taken off the board. Then there were penalties on the Bills with no replays. We delayed playing the Shout! song because we started to expect any big play to be erased. Part of being a Bills fan I guess.

I suspect he played concussed, but we don't know that for sure do we? He had a big game and is a very good player.

Stop what? Expressing my opinion on a message board? Of course the fans thought it was over, AND they wanted to get home because it was late game. Today was a 1:00pm and no one left. I would coach Allen to not make his first comments after a huge win about the fans past attendance practices. The comment was did not have a thing to do with the question.

I don't think he called them out, but he jabbed the fans a little. Allen needs to be careful, fans are just fans. Week 1 was a late game and regular people have jobs and their kids have school. That would not happen at a 1:00pm game in the snow as we just saw.

Bedford? You mean Bedford Falls?

They really are the Buffalo Allen's. Can Beane find a way to get a legitimate #1 WR on this team?

It’s worse. We lost Ja’Marcus Ingram because this.

Good guy to have around. Edit. just read he is not reporting. Oh, well. Carry on

???

Big Win and it is all about the W. Defense cane up big. Bills dominated the second half on the road, with a banged up offensive line, and in high -wind wintry conditions. Was that a record for rushing yards given up by Pittsburgh? Well done. Get ready for Cinci.

Every thread here turns into fire Beane. Fire McDermott. Like a goof ball such as Terry Pegula will make magical moves to improve the team? Not gonna happen. Terry is too busy watching the stadium cost overruns and worried about opening day of NEXT year. His wife is not well. His hockey team is run by two guys on expiring contracts after THIS season. Terry is not firing either of them. He likes them.

Ok. The NFL is a bigger deal than the NHL. Just say it that way. Still, more than a few people notice how bad the Sabres are run. But every NFL team runs it course, and every QB MVP fades away, and every good coach gets fired or moves on. What Terry does after this Bills team fades away might be much more Sabre-like than you care to believe, and there is evidence of not only of bad decisions but outright neglect that are in play here.

You should take absolutely take everything from how he runs the Sabres. Everything about Terry’s sports management incompetence is wrapped up in the Sabres. Under his leadership they lost games on purpose in a sleazy attempt to get better draft choices. Those drafted players are all gone and most have won Cups on other teams. Terry is the reason that team is dead. Pray that he never gets too involved in football. BTW, Jack Eichel won a Stanley Cup, and is now a front runner for league MVP. Terry insisted that Eichel be traded and he used his injury as a reason. NHL veterans can have no trade clauses in their contracts, none of the best players will go to Buffalo.

Warning from a huge Sabres fan. The less Terry Pegula does to the Buffalo Bills front office the better the Bills will be. Terry thinks he knows hockey, and that is the big reason he hires poorly qualified GMs for the Sabres. He thinks of himself as the President of Hockey Operations. The result is the complete destruction of the Buffalo Sabres. No unrestricted free agents will go there, and the top players in hockey all have no trade clauses in their contracts with Buffalo always on that list. That team will never win with Terry involved like he is. Fear the day he becomes comfortable enough to fire McBeane. Once he does he will destroy this team with bad hires and poor decisions.

You attend the kids game because he is a priority. You give your wife a B-Day card and a gift or flowers, and tell her that her B-Day date night is Saturday. You ignore social media. You watch the rest of the game when your sons game is over, you can rewatch it all on the Amazon stream later.

Coleman should not never be considered to play ST if he is truly saying he doesn't want to do it. Good Lord a special teamer is a guy who will do anything to play. A poor ST player can cost you a KO return for a touchdown. Lou Piccone and Steve Tasker were much better WRs than Coleman, and they had no trouble being ST studs. ST players are selfless team players.

This will be another tough game. There are no easy ones. A short week should mean a simple gameplan. More Allen please.

Imagine being "young and new on the job" and earning a reputation as lazy, and putting yourself in the Coaches dog house 3 times in less than 2 seasons? Calling Dawkins fat and sloppy says something about how you think, and it is not how men that play professional football think. That "fat, sloppy veteran" did the young and new guy a big favor. Coleman should listen to this helpful message. Dawkins has been with the Bills a long time, he is a pro bowler and a core veteran on this team. His comments were warranted and appropriate. If Coleman finds them "ineffective and not helpful" then his football career with this team might be a short one.

Time to end that

True. So you take the better football player, the one with the best chance of helping, that was/is McConkey.

But, but, but, contested catches. They wasted a premium pick on a guy who's forte is a low probability play that you don't want to rely on. Who picks a player for contested catch skills when you need to replace Diggs? I am sure the excuse could be they have a slot guy in Shakir. McConky can be used multiple ways and so can Shakir. McConky is faster, quicker, better feet, better hands, smarter, better routes, a dedicated football player, and he gets open all the time ...

He has twice as much experience now.

dont forget the secondary

I was a complete nervous reck during the game. Beating KC has become an obsession. This time we played really good defense for most of the game, sometimes even great defense. Mahommes had one of his worst passing days ever, in no small part due to our defense today. Hairston has guys covered like glue. Bishop was amazing. Losing Hoecht is a major loss. Allen, Cook 3, and Kincaid were all very good. Play calling not great at times. I am taking the DUB.
