Bob in STL

I was there in a Dallas at the game with 12 family members. Great game. Bills Mafia was loud and proud. I did not see too many over the top fans, just a great atmosphere and a well earned win. This team is really starting to gel. For the McDermott haters, several Cowboys fans in my section told me that McDermott is impressive and they wish they can lure him away from us.

Amazing on how this topic, and peoples take on it, mirrors the cultural and political divide of today. One thing that I have learned over the years is that perception is reality. No kidding.

It Is quite interesting reading the comments. Everything from not a problem/funny to immature/selfish. When I played any player that allowed himself to get this distracted during a game would have gotten in trouble with the coach. Especially the starting QB. Different times.

Beane did a good job on the OL so far. One of the biggest issues for the Offense to overcome was the lack of time together, especially the OL with only 1 of 5 starters returning. The entire offense has 9 new players in the starting 11. Not over spending is great. Now I think they need to draft more good players and WR, OT, and RB positions all need more help next year.

My wife and I will be going to Dallas to spend Thanksgiving with my sister and her family. We have tickets for the game. Friday will be our family Thanksgiving dinner. This will be fun. I would love to see them win. They are playing better the past few weeks, yes the competition has not been strong but the progress the Bills have made is undeniable. McD must get them ready. Play fearless and smart. Don’t let the bright lights distract. A win against Dallas will provide the Bills with credibility and confidence. I think they can do it.

He never was a bust. Who comes up with this crap?

I like McDermott. I think he has a hard job and he does it well. Not perfect but improving in many ways. I think he can get better and improve the team. I could not care less what the media thinks about him. He just needs to be decent and moral and win. Jerry on the other hand, well I do not think his job is nearly as hard, and it’s not even important. Jerry is not important and I do not value his opinion, so I don’t read his stuff or listen to him. My respect for the media is at an all time low. They are entertainment, they are not some special service of educated insiders looking out for our interests. No matter if it’s sports, world news, politics, even some local news, its pretty much a business - with sponsors - all bought and paid for.

I am going with wife and some kin. Gonna win in Jeruh’s house.

Buffalo is not the only city in the NFL that gets cold weather or snow, there are lots that do. But it gets the most publicity for it. I do gt tired of hearing about snow, or blue collar, or nothing to do in Buffalo - there is tons to do but Buffalo will it will never have the night club scene of Miami, NY, Chicago, LA, Atlanta, etc. So find the players that put less value on partying and more on other ways to spend time. I like what McD and Beane are building.

Allen showed great strides today. The Cleveland game was very disappointing. Maybe Daboll in the box helps? Maybe Miami being a very poor team helps too? Keep on progressing Josh!!

Nice run. Josh is making plays today

Nychefsky is hurtin

We gave him a yard terrible spot.

9 point lead going into 2 nd half on road. We we need to run the ball and keep playing good defense

I just hope McD’s “play with no fear” comments resonate with 5he players and the coaches. Play, coach, and game plan “with no fear”. Give the dam ball to Singletary, block and run hard, pass downfield without fear, play run defense, kill their QB, take the ball away from them, oh and do something good on special team too.

Kroft is decent when healthy, however, I think Knox is already better and had a much higher ceiling. Right now I would be dressing Knox, Kroft and Sweeney. Seen enough of Lee Smith, when we need a “big blocking set” put out Sweeney or another tackle or both. Next year I bring in another TE and move on from Kroft. Knox’s development and Kroft’s injuries make him way overpaid for his contribution.

True considering some of the backups are of very marginal NFL talent. Not true if if you want to avoid distractions, which every team in the league has the right to do. I have no no issue with any team signing him, except for Buffalo. I don’t think he would fit in. We are invested in Allen and Barkley is a decent backup. Now if Peterman were still around I would want to look at Kaepernick.

This is a game I should worry about. Dolphins playing inspired football and would love to win a division game. The game in Miami. Normally this would be major choke game number 1. So it probably won’t be. McD is telling them to put petal on metal so maybe this week the offense plays great and we win 31-13 like we should.

I would give Rudolf 1 game for his role. Pouncey gets 2. Chickengumbo gets 3. Garrett is out for one year - see you in week 10 of 2020. What I would like to see: None of these player get paid while out and the owners send their salaries to a foundation supporting victims of violence. In addition the owners play the same amounts for their team penalty.

He sounds fragile to be even talking about it.

I would like to see Joe B stay in that pocket. There were times that the left side leaked like a sieve. No wonder Allen missed open receivers on his left. Number 95 was in his face all game as was a blitzing LB or DB.

I collect everyone’s coins and offer to buy beer with them.

I think this game is a trap and the Dolphins could beat us with Fitz throwing 4 TDs. Which means we coast to a 31-10 win.

The media frenzy surrounding any team that signed him would be unbelievable. I just can’t see it.

I stopped reading right after the bold sentence. Should their coaches quit on Elway, Manning, Kelly, Farve, after 9 games? None of them looked very good at that point.
