It's time to try anything and everything. Isn't COVID lovely.

Another anti COVID vaxer so he will miss next week too.  Unless he changed his mind.  

Yup, saw this coming before the beginning of the season. Unvaccinated players getting COVID. Just GREAT.

[Not everyone thinks the Bills will lose Sunday]

I guess anything is possible but I'm not holding my breath.

[Showdown with Pats is a judgment day for Sean McDermott, Bills]

Yeah, I'd say that's correct. Win and we're their peers, lose and we're their play thing. Something to toy with.

Why should we care?

[Joe Burrow…”Nothing to do in Cincinnati”]

He better get used to it. I think he's stuck in Cincy for a while.

It better be Diggs!

Bingo! It's clear that the vaccinated spread it much more. Now the NFL won't even test these guys so now all eyes on the unvaxed. Really unfair imo. Can someone explain to me how unvaxed put others in danger that vaxed dont?

 Most of our COVID positives are the unvaxxed, Star, Beasley, etc. Not sure I trust the NFL vaccinated #'s. You have liars and cheaters out there like Rodgers and AB; most likely many more liars and cheaters too.

[The Bills have been multiple teams' "Superbowl"]

I'd prefer they lost to us, instead of the following week.

[Rushing yards per attempt leaders - Allen and Singletary in top 10]

Let's see how those two do in N.E. Can they run it effectively when it really matters? Can the OL block well enough for them? 

[Games that were rescheduled were almost canceled...NFLPA stepped in to push NFL to reschedule]

Yup, cancelled games mean that player's won't get their game checks. That's when the unvaccinated will hear it from the vaccinated. Major dissention in the locker room, just what every team needs come playoff time.

[Covid may decide who wins the AFC east]

I just wrote on this point in a different thread.  

It's going to get worse and I will GUARANTEE you that the SB winner will be directly impacted by great luck with COVID.

 

Having the right COVID luck is going to be as important as having the best QB, or coach, or getting on a winning streak at the right time, or luck with injuries, etc.

 

It's going to decide the champion this year.

 

 

M.I. was right. Those that did not get the shot(s), didn't want to win bad enough. They let their team down.

well *****.  here we go.

Yup, the unvaxed players are going to miss more time than the vaxxed players. Just in time for the playoffs. If we make?

[NBC Boston: Bills are done, Pats make them lick dog *****]

Not sure if anyone saw NBC Boston's commentary after the Monday night loss to the Patriots. 

 

They seem pretty confident the Pats ended the Bills season and made them eat *****... 

 

 

If we want to shut them up we need to beat them... repeatedly, for years. Not just once in a while. Players come and go but fans last forever. I don't think the players care as much as fans do.

[Off-season trade idea]

I think the G-men would like this trade since Barkley is always injured. What makes you think he won't always be injured playing for us?

[Any way to watch NE-Colts without NFLN?]

Is it shown on overtheair Network TV in the NE or Indy areas?

I watch ALL of the games, every week, year after year, on the internet from the comfort of my home. I once posted that website here but Hapless Bills Fan sent me an email reprimanding me saying, "Don't post websites on this forum, etc., etc." So I guess you'll have to go watch it at a bar. 

[Excluding JA, predict which player will have the biggest impact - Panthers at Bills]

Whoever is subbing for Dawkins.

[Where Josh Allen ranks among QBs with regard to benefitting from defensive pass coverage penalties]

I don't trust these numbers. I went to this website and you can't breakdown the defensive holding penalties by pass play or running play. They're just by total or averaged per game. I can't figure out how they calculated these number. Go to the website yourself, see if you can do it.

[On Further Review, Buffalo Bills Have Legitimate Beef With NFL Officials]

Stop whining about officiating. This team is not good enough to win regardless of officiating.

[If anyone wants to say the NFL isn't rigged, please re-watch that game]

Sour grapes. Get over it. This team needs to fix some major issues in the offseason.

[Star is out - toe injury]

The guy opts out last year due to Covid. Then this year does not get vaccinated and misses multiple games  Now he's injured. Clearly he's a guy who wishes to get paid but not play. He's a parasite.

[A Little Perspective: Why we shouldn't be down on the McBeane Regime]

BB turned a 7-9 team into a division winner and a SB favorite in one offseason. McBeane can't compete with that. They're not that good. The last 3 drafts their top picks were all D linemen. To the detriment of other positions like OL and RB. McBeane can't tie BB shoes.  

[The Bills as a franchise under McDermott historically, relatively speaking - everything is OK]

"A statement up front: the Patriots should not be the benchmark by which to measure the Bills relative to other successful NFL teams."

I disagree. The Pats are in our div, we play them twice a year... minimum. We need to beat them so they are our benchmark. Period.

 

Last year the Pats had cap space problems and went 7-9 after picking up Cam Newton off the scrapheap to play QB.

This past offseason with plenty of cap space BB went about fixing his team. He signing a ton of players in free agency that fit his football schemes.

Then BB drafted well as usual. Picking players that fit his schemes. He now has a franchise QB from Bama that fits his scheme on offense.

 

BB fixed this team in one offseason because he knows what he needs and goes and gets it. We need to do the same. But what has McBean done the last 3 drafts?

You know, spent most of their draft capital on the D line:

2019 - E. Oliver

2020 - A. Epenesa

2021 - G .Rousseau

2021 - C. Basham

And we still can't stop teams from running on us.

 

That's way, way, way, too much draft capital focused on the D line, at the expensive of other positions, like OL and RB.

You want to beat the Pats? Find players that fit your schemes and can play.

 

The problem is that McBean can't identify these players. If they could they wouldn't have spent 3 years of draft capital on the DL.

If you can't identify what you need you can't go get it.

We're in trouble because McBean can't do what BB does. Period.
