Bills Penguins Duke bball Red Sox Liverpool PSU football Celtics All of them have explanations from when I was pre-10 except Duke and Liverpool. Dad is a UNC fan so no clue how Duke happened. First Devils I remember are Tommy Amaker and Danny Ferry. Liverpool came when Red Sox ownership bought them and I decided to follow EPL.

3rd…right before Russell Wilson who I was hoping for.

Shane Conlan is the reason I'm a Bills fan from central PA. First memory as a kid is the 1987 Fiesta Bowl when PSU shocked Jimmy Johnson's Canes. Damn him, he's caused me a lot of heartbreak.

Fun Fact: Scheelhaase was Illinios' QB in 2011 and played in a 10-7 loss at PSU in horrible conditions and snow. That game ended up being the last game Paterno coached as the Sandusky scandal broke after that game and Paterno was fired.

If you can't tell how badly he wants to win from the pain on his face and the punishment he plays through continually, I don't know what to tell you. He doesn't want a "yes" man, he wants the coach to get this franchise to the promised land more than any of us.

Was Cam Lewis injured (limited) or was this strictly a belief that Hancock is more capable now? The timing of his insertion over Cam makes no sense to me unless Lewis is nursing something and deemed less effective than usual.

Not very impressive when looking at their schedule/scores for all 17 weeks...but they found ways to win.

Probably over, but why not 2 pt attempt? Silly decision this late as 12 vs 13 doesn’t really matter.

McD is winning me over with what he’s done with this mediocre roster. I’m done with Beane and Brady. However, his in game time management is atrocious. No way with all that time to contemplate, you call the last TO immediately. That tush push by Josh has to be the last play of regulation. He was right in the 2-point play mainly because Beane kept the sucky fg kicker again that barely cleared the LOS in his 1st attempt that was blocked and missed last week.

Because dumbass Beane kept the sucky kicker again this week.

By far my biggest complaint is the lack of play-action especially early in games. We know our WRs suck. We also know our TEs are great, our RBs are receiving threats, and our running game is legit and is the focal point for opposing defenses. We should be leaning on PA early especially on 1st Down and get the balls to the TEs across the middle. This has the added benefit of loosening up the LBs against the run. We came out throwing against Miami and TB, but it was traditional drop back stuff on early downs as opposed to PA. Yesterday was the perfect example but Cooks dropped the ball. Big plays in the passing game have to come on early downs off PA, our receivers aren't good enough to get them in conventional passing downs/routes. Second main complaint is to know you have 17 for important series during the game. It is crazy that at 35-31 yesterday and the D getting a big stop, we went 3 and out with 2 Cook runs and a screen pass to Ty. There is no excuse for not giving Josh a run/pass option on that series and letting him do what he does.

The height of his arrogance was when he marked off the spot where the Bills’ 1st half punt went OOB at the Pats’ 15 yard line. He’s tough to take.

Looks like Bernard will be out again this week, but potentially on track to return next week. It will be very interesting to see how they handle his return. He is the 2nd Captain with a long-term extension that hasn't kicked in yet. By any objective measure, Shaq and the D have performed much better in his absences. Will be something to monitor down the stretch for sure.

As a PSU fan, Mike Gesicki is the most unlikable player in the history of that school…and I thought that when he was at PSU.

By far my biggest complaint with Brady is his refusal this year to open up the game play-action heavy. This naturally softens the run defense. His plan in Seattle last season is the blueprint, but we refuse to try it this season. Hell the first play of the game was shotgun and all spread, screaming pass. Why not play-action instead of giving your intent away with formation. The Dolphins were ripe to roll over and our poor 1st drive and their subsequent 95-yard drive killed that idea.
