Sierra Foothills

If this were a poll, I'm voting Rex.

That's assuming that he has... you know... a brain.

A virgin? Summon all the women from the outlying villages!!! If we're opening it up to those that are disliked, should we add Tim Graham and John Warrow? I'm confused by the criteria... What's the over/under on the number of fools/fans who attempt The Pit? There's the Al Davis torch altar at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas... why not Buffalo? Which makes me think, the Meadowlands has Jimmy Hoffa... maybe we should "contact" Joe Todaro? Especially if we commemorate the ceremony with condiments... lots of condiments. I think you can only call Cellino now. Double checking with the FAA... Remember, you grow where you're planted... or something like that. Oh... I guess that's not Fitzmagic after all...

Offside but not out of bounds...

There are 25 former Chiefs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame... and arguably more that are deserving based on their careers mostly in the AFL. There are 12 former Bills in the Hall of Fame. Also the Chiefs won 3 AFL Championships, the most of any team. And they've won the most Super Bowls of the teams that were in the AFL... tied with the Raiders and Broncos with 3. The Hall of Honor at Arrowhead Stadium is virtually the American Football League Hall of Fame. Like it or not, the Chiefs are the standard bearer for the teams which came out of the American Football League. Hate and respect. Also that 1st Round running back who had the Merton Hanks neck... Harvey Williams? Neil Smith used to do a home run swing sack celebration. During one Bills-Chiefs game, Bruce Smith decided to return the favor. I remember DeBerg broke his pinkie one year and played with a comically oversized cast on it. The cast was so disproportionately large that you couldn't help but think his chiropractor was seeing dollar signs watching him play. As some here know, Joe Delaney died trying to save others. He didn't know how to swim but he saw three young boys drowning in a lake and tried to save them. Of the 4 individuals, one boy survived. Delaney was also known for other acts of charity and kindness. And by virtue of that win represented the AFL in the first Super Bowl where they lost to Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers.

Ralph is cheap? The Rooney Rule?

As long as you don't have posters of Jack Tatum on your wall... not sure when/how it happened but Donte Whitner is a media personality out here and he's known by the moniker "Donte Hitner." I don't remember us calling him Hitner when he was with the Bills but it's possible I've forgotten.

I'm not sure where Moorman lives but my old boss who owns 57 acres on Ellicott Rd near the Orchard Park-West Falls border once ran into Moorman hunting on his property and had to tell him to punt. Remember the year we were so bad that the Bills Media team decided that a photo of Moorman punting out of his own end zone would be a good way to entice season ticket holders to renew?

Toney ran a 4.37 at the combine but is averaging 6.6 ypc this season. How is that even possible? I seem to recall that the Giants wanted Devonta Smith in the first round and the Eagles traded ahead of them to take Smith. The Giants then traded down and selected Toney. It was a Dave Gettelman pick.

I see Fitzmagic has joined him too. LMAO!

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/chiefs-rule-out-kadarius-toney-list-charles-omenihu-and-willie-gay-as-questionable "Willie Gay is questionable with a neck injury. The neck injury is a lingering one for Gay, and the fact that the Chiefs now list him as questionable after saying yesterday that he would play suggests that he may have suffered a setback."

Here you go at @Rico!

Great coverage by Neal on that play btw.

Maybe I'm basing my opinion on his special teams play but I'm pretty sure he can bring it as a DB.

I recall that too. Between the uncertainty with Taron and at boundary corner, and the Rapp injury it wouldn't surprise me to see Neal get some defensive snaps. Also I wonder if there's a plan B that doesn't include Cam Lewis if Taron is unable to go... Dane seems to be a good candidate to play slot. Or could they try Elam at slot? McDermott has some chess pieces to play with. Neal has some deficiencies in his game but being physical is not one of them. Let me know which ones you're wearing so we can color coordinate. You're making an assumption that might not be true. The Bills barely made the playoffs and had zero margin for error over the last 6 weeks of the season. It was absolutely the right move to play Dod(b)son and it would be wrong to assume that Williams didn't progress as a player simply because he didn't get every snap. I would trust McDermott to know how to develop the younger defensive players.

Brady loosened the reigns on Allen with regards to running the ball. As far as passing, he's tightened the reigns. Josh has been more disciplined as a thrower since Brady took over. It hasn't helped that they added another game to the schedule. I remember when the Super Bowl was played in mid-late January. This year's game is on 2/11. Screw you. Just shut up!!! The interesting part of the Falcons/Belichick interview is that it didn't include Rick McKay who has been GM, President, and then CEO for Arthur Blank for 20 years. I wonder how McKay feels about being asked not to be in the room. That's really weird! Ferris is the last name of that Chiefs fan/shopping cart guy in the video @rusty shackleford posted! What's going on here?

I think 2 things: 1) Bills fans are spoiled. By objective measures this has been and continues to be an elite offense. 2) That said the offense is a work in process due to the change in coordinators. I expect the offense to look more coherent next year after Brady has the offseason to make it his own. Yes. The passing game is improving. It's trending in the right direction. Brady is incrementally adjusting things and Kincaid and Shakir are becoming bigger factors. IMO the thing that will make the passing game perform and look efficient is for Josh to continue to take the open layups. He's been getting better in this area since the Dorsey firing. Josh is a very underrated short thrower. He can throw wrist flick darts all day long if he stays disciplined. He can manage the short horizontal passing game very well and now that we've sufficiently replaced Beasley I expect to see higher completion percentages and fewer interceptions as we did in 2020 when Josh completed 69.2% of his passes and had an interception percentage of 1.7% (this year it's 3.1%, the highest since he was a rookie). The Bills offense is trending up and just in the nick of time because it looks like we'll need to win in a shootout to advance past KC. We have a winner. People get confused by the phrase "Let Josh be Josh." If it means running the ball... yes. If it means spraying low-percentage throws downfield... no. As a passer, Josh is most effective when he's disciplined and works short to long.

To the bolded... if that has to be explained to people they most likely won't understand the explanation.

Yes player evaluation is highly subjective... even for NFL coaches. Subjective even for NFLscouts and GMs. Pro scouts who work for NFL teams and scouting syndicates also don't usually know the play call. Dude is a meathead and he spurned the Bills so strikes 2 and 3. 1) One can't assume the competency of PFF evaluators. Some have worked at high levels in the NFL as coaches and players. 2) Your argument dictates that only the handful of people who know the play call are justified in judging the results. This argument then disqualifies NFL coaches and scouts who usually don't know the play call. Exactly. Correct. JJ Watt is Gronk without the rings. Andre Whitworth, Paul Alexander and Bobby Slowik? Not bad. Critics of PFF are assuming the caliber of the evaluators without actually knowing who they are. So PFF is the only entity capable of this type of error? How about QC coaches and advance scouts? Most scouting evaluations, including those done by NFL scouts are done without knowing for sure each players assignment. The same goes for esteemed and highly-credible evaluators like Greg Cosell. Critics of PFF seem like they don't understand the intrinsic nature of player evaluation... or maybe they just want to complain about something.

The Bills finished the last game playing their 5th and 6th linebackers and their 4th and 5th cornerbacks. That's not even including the Taron Johnson injury. The Chiefs have had 2 more days to recover and prepare than the Bills. The Bills, not the Chiefs are the vulnerable team. Victim much? You made a ridiculous statement and then you doubled down on it. The 90's Dolphins with Dan Marino at QB were coached by 2 Hall of Famers... Don Shula and Jimmy johnson.. Dude! I saw RR and started having Rex Ryan flashbacks. Be careful, please.

Khalil Shakir reminds me quite a bit of former Bills WR Robert Woods. They're very similar physically, both have that hunched over running style and are excellent after the catch. Both really good all-around receivers.

I love Nance and Romo for a few reasons. 1) They're good. 2) They seem like good people. 3) They're unabashed Bills fans... they don't even try to hide it. Because of the above I'm deaf to any criticism of them.

A few months before this revived topic I posted the above about AJ Klein. Yes, this is a look at me, I was right post. Sue me. I loved that tackle on Najee Harris... the one that looked like he was steer wrestling. I'm glad McDermott understands how to play to the strengths of his players and doesn't simply discard them as unfit for his scheme.

I expected Josh to play a virtually mistake-free game today. This belief was based partly on Josh's past playoff record as you guys point out. It was also based on the fact that he seems to be taking the layups much more than he was earlier in the season. I've said before that Dorsey's biggest failure as OC was his inability to reign in Josh's worst impulses. Joe Brady has Josh playing much more like he did under Daboll... maybe even more disciplined than that. Josh could do a Tom Brady impersonation all game long if he wanted to. He's deadly accurate in the short, horizontal passing game. On top of the fact that he was never a front runner for MVP. How many NFL GMs would take Lamar Jackson over Josh Allen? The answer is zero.
