Goin Breakdown

Yea

Odds are I'll be dead

My son always would say to me at half time " we'll bows this time Buffalo stops scoring and hopes the other teams stops too" It really was pretty predictable that third quarter would slump and you probably get some kind of score in the fourth.

I was at a concert at the SPAC and I could go 10 yards (see what I did there) without people talking to me. My buddy was like "what is it about you that strangers always talk to you?" I said "it's the Bills hat".

We don't get a ton of sack/pressure against the great QBs when it matters. I'm ok with who ever we can afford at this point. Put any money and draft capital into the offense.

After all the DHop hype last year, I just can't get my hopes up for any one player like that again.

Here's my stance because I never said it was smart or the right thing to do. Just because a coach makes an aggressive call doesn't mean it was the right one. My whole point in the first place was that Fans views (not all) on the play will waver based on if it was successful or not. There isn't a whole lot to argue there. I've heard people say McD should be fired because of it, BUT I'd the play was successful (and we won the game) would we be saying he would be fired? I didn't like the play, I was yelling at the tv at the time that they should have put it in joshs hand. Now after thinking more, I think punting would have been the choice. the problem here is you can't say anything objectively without others twisting your words or assuming your saying something you're not. Was the play stupid? Probably yeah but I still think fans would have a different tone had it worked. That's it period. (not saying you were doing any of these things, just trying to point it out since you were the last to respond to me. Go Bills!)

It sounds like you're saying that McD with Josh is the same as Reid without Mahomes. Wasn't Mahomes Reid's missing piece?

All that money invested in the defense just to crap out in the playoffs against good QBs. Dline ghosts us. That was pretty much the only hope on defense and they were nowhere.

That's fair. I didn't like it at the time but listening to a few people talk about it I can see the side that says when you play a great team you have to be aggressive. I personally would have punted

That's fine. It's totally cool to have different opinions and I respect what your saying. There is a lot about the play I don't like, but I am happy we have a coach that had the guts to do something aggressive. It's not the play that lost the game, that's for sure.

I was wondering why Hamlin. Sal brought up a good point. If they had switched players it would have given away what the Bills were about to do. I hate that it was Hamlin but I get what he's saying.

Did anyone say none yet?

Nothing hypothetical about it. Joe Marino said it the same way yesterday or today. He likes the call, it was gutsy and if it had worked we'd all be happy. I know my response was to your post but it was nothing personal towards you. I've been a fan for a long time and I know when plays like that work we don't view them in the same light as we do when they flip.

Unless it worked. then it would have been awesome to have an aggressive head coach who does what it takes to win. The outcome determines what we will say a lot of times.

I sat on the wrong side of the couch

I truly appreciate you all. Good, Bad and everything else, this has been a great place to talk with other fans. Even about my cat haha.

Because the rest of this is injured, old and rental players.

Go Ravens. Send a message to OBD that they are wasting their QBs prime by not supporting him with talent around him. Mahomes Lamar Burrow Allen is equally if not more talented all around than all of these guys and yet here we are building our Dline year after year.

There's got to be a way to drop him off at a friends house.

Because he is being graded for when he's on the field. McD only puts him on the field in situations that Dodson excels in. That's my guess.

I'm the big scope of things it's football and really doesn't matter. My son likes teams I don't but he does like the Bills, mainly because that what he grew up seeing me watch. If he grows up and chooses another team, ok. I told him when he was younger that no matter what team he cheers for, he is going to experience ups and downs. Much like any relationship I guess lol. side note. When he turned 13 I took him to his first game for his birthday. They lost bad to the jets. He wrote them a letter and told them how they ruined his birthday. Haha. Therapy

I think this loss was going to happen given the injuries, drops and special team blunders that have been happening all year. I just didn't want it to be this game. Ok or any game.

For sure. We just don't have empathy like we did. I feel for Bass in regard to how it must feel to miss that kick. Would want to crawl under a rock and hide. Do you remember, was it leodis mckelvin that had his yard vandalized when he fumbled that return. I was trying to remember who it was that got similar treatment. I see your point but not everyone is Jerry Sullivan. Thankfully

I have no faith that we'll know next year either. It would be great to find out though. Training camp?
