Bob in STL

I think so. We shall see.

Sweeney is out, Koft must be active.

Not crazy about the red jumpers. I like Blue shirts as white pants for home games in football weather.

Hank Stram. Super Bowl IV.

Well stated. I still think Thurman is worthy and I would take him over several RB already on the list, including Sanders. Gasp, yes I said it.

Correct. Just another sensitive ‘offended person” spouting off while being insensitive.

Buffalo Fans Loyalty Tradition Honor We owed them a 45-7 ass whipping Miami Dolphins no fan base

Seems like Allen is held to a different standard than those in his draft class and even the QBs in the years prior. I think he will answer his critics by winning.

Great photos by the OP. Yes, I grew up in the 60s-70’s. Loved the AFL and still have the AFL football cards and a few old team photos from the time. I really think part of the charm of the AFL and NFL pre merger was the scarcity of the product. Sunday games, fewer teams, the switch from 12 to 14 games, you got your info from newspapers ( Buffalo had two), radio, magazines. A Bills highlight show once a week on local TV. Of course the players were different too, many of them worked another job in the offseason, few were training year round. The players as a whole were definitely more reserved/modest, one only need watch the old films to see that. I definitely like the stripped down coverage and there seemed to be more clarity on the rules and calls ... today everything is over blown, over-analyzed, and almost every call on the field open for debate. In comparison, Less is more. The AFL was a catalyst for Pro football’s growth. Once the leagues started stealing players that really led to the fast merger. Monday Night Football was probably the thing that took the NFL popularity to the next level. As for all this stuff about older fans knowing more about football and rebuilds than younger fans I think that is total BS. Todays fans know a ton of information, stats, fantasy leagues, social media, endless talk shows and highlights, streaming and restreaming, blogs, tweets, forums, etc, etc. etc.

Just another NFL "judgement call" that went against us. Some do, some don't. You can probably call something on every play. So many rules are subject to interpretation by the ref, this is one of them. Baby Huey was certainly over officious that day.

Then why has no one picked him up? His terrible blocking, less than mediocre receiving skills, and below average running ability just might have something to do with it.

Let’s not forget he spent the week in concussion protocol with limited snaps. The Titans defense is very good. The pick looks more like the receiver giving up on the play than anything else. Pass protection today was again spotty. Oh, and he won again. B+.

The table jumpers are either usually high, drunk, stupid, or maybe all of the above. I have a problem with the supporters in the crowd that record it and cheer them on. Nothing you can do usually but I taught my kids about accountability by association. The people watching are standing around recording it and cracking jokes while this poor dumb guy is planted into the ground. One girl runs up to him, not to help, but to record it on her phone. Just wrong behavior on so many levels.

Yes. In an emergency he could move to RT. The Bills have had several TE's that had to spend some time playing tackle. Paul Costa in the 60's and Paul Seymour in the 70's come to mind.

tough road game … our QB did not even get a full week of practice. Defense was great again. Special teams cleaned up their act. Offense did just enough. The bye is at the right time, we need to get healthy and get ready for the tough stretch ahead.

he is improving. Sure the Pats* game was a step back for him but overall he is getting better. He has a strong arm, he is extremely athletic and can run, he has strong leadership skills … he just needs to clean up the turnovers and not try to do it all.

Yes, that is a simple way to look at it. I am sure "the creator" was very busy fixing football games that day.

It’s high time for a turnover free game by the Bills. We need to run more and control the clock and the line of scrimmage. Better specials teams play is a must. This is is a very big game and the result could strongly influence the wild card picture by the end of the season.

If it makes you feel better so be it. No doubt the relationship between Ralph, Wade, and Butler had crumbled but you completely dismiss that a beat up veteran Bills team, playing in hostile road environment, against a team on the rise was winning the game with just seconds left. Wade choked and left time on the clock. Players on the Kickoff Team blew their assignments. The lateral was an illegal forward pass. The best Evidence is the thrower was behind the line, the receiver was over it. No amount of review can change the optics. No way the ref should have ruled it any other. The ref blew the call and that’s all there is.

I was a great football player. A monster. Knee injuries shortened by career or I may have gone even further. https://www.buffalobills.com/video/afl-focus-tom-sestak-435218

I lived in St Louis when Bill Bidwell was the owner. He was quite possibly the worst owner in NFL history. Anything good that ever happened to the Cardinal franchise in Arizona (because nothing good ever did on St Louis) happened after he stepped down. Out of respect to him I wont get into the many issues, none of that matters. Ralph is a Hall of Fame member. He did things in the early AFL days that kept the league viable or there would be no AFL survival and merger. He kept the Bills in Buffalo when he could have made TONS of money elsewhere. He supported small markets and voted NO on every single relocation. He cared about FANS. Even today Buffalo benefits from his philanthropy. These things are well documented.

Belichick has been there for 20 years. Most of his staff has been there a long time. His details and discipline are entrenched. Because of longevity and consistency his teams practice fine details and situations that other coaches don’t have time to do. The Pats* even practice their rule stretching pick plays, their holding without getting called, and how to draw holding. He saw we have a rookie ST coach and he went after him. He will probably do it again.

Sick of Allen? No way. I think we have a great prospect here. Let’s get him help and coach him up.

He speed is average and his hands are bad. He runs lazy routes and is rarely open. Watch him live in the stadium and you see he really sucks away from the ball. He has no compete, he is not smart, and he does not work hard. He can’t play special teams either. This is his third season and he still has no football sense. On the 3rd interception he really needed to play DB and knock the ball down. In a post game interview he said something like this “I knew I could not catch it, I thought it might be for someone behind me so I let it go”. We have Foster and Duke Williams, let’s try one of them.

No bad list can be complete without Zay Jones and Lee Smith. Zay is not good. He needs to go get the ball but he waits for it to come to him. Three year vet and he still did not know to turn into a DB on the poorly throw ball that picked. All around bad player.
