    Sleep Apnea

    in Off the Wall

    Posted

    Yep. I stopped using my Cpap though. I just can't get over the claustrophobic feeling I get with the mask on. Even after months. I'd wake up every night after sleeping for 1 hour and 35 mins on the dot and take it off while half asleep and wake up like "ohh I took it off again". If I snore I just leave the room and sleep someplace else. Problem solved. Sort of   

    Dalton Kincaid- why so underwhelming this season?

    I wonder if part of it is how close Knox and Allen are, with Kincaid coming in as the guy who is going to take Knox's place when he and Allen are best buddies. 

     

    Should that be it? Of course not and it probably isn't, but part of me wonders if there is a difficult dynamic there. Teams rarely have 2 top TEs at once, so this new guy is going to come in and push one of the QBs best buddies out of town. 

     

    All I know is I was so excited on draft night to hear about how "whoever lets Allen get Kincaid deserves what they get..." and it's been basically a total dud 

    I remember that too and thought "ok we have a legit pass catcher. He's had a couple good catches but, recency bias not as factor here, I think he's dropped a lot of passes for what was supposed to be his strength. I have hope for next season though.

    This is exactly what I want to hear, a well thought out response defending your position.

     

    The crux of the matter is that the Bills have in essence only had one side of the ball play at or above expectations over the course of the last 5 post season runs. They've been close enough to sniff the big game but there's very few players making a true impact in the biggest moments. 

     

    The reason Brady has so many rings is that he would stop at nothing to go out and win games.

     

    It's not just guys not giving it there all out there. It's guys getting punched in the face and just taking it. It's about guys clawing and fighting every single play on the other side even if it borders on dirty play.Nobody is going to care how you get there only that you do.

     

    I think it stems from McDermott overarching philosophy of being the upstanding team in most instances. He doesn't preach by any means necessary, which is exactly what it takes on any given play and every Sunday.

     

    The Bills need everyone in the building to be a killer. Someone who's going to go out and win their rep no matter what.  Someone who's going to put it all on the line when the chips are down, as it stands there's only a small handful of those guys playing for the Bills.

     

    Sure the Eagles have a great roster and tons of talent, but at the end of the day that talent stepped up and played even better than they had before. The had guys who were rookies or overlooked by other teams come in and make plays. They made it easy for Hurts to be MVP, he didn't have to be superman.

     

    The Bills need to dig deep and find that dog in them or they'll forever be know as the team who couldn't close the deal.

    I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying here. This is where I get torn in regards to how I feel, or perhaps indecisive (so I'm glad it's not my choice)- Coaching

     

    I believe McD develops players very well, but I feel like for the most part he hasn't wanted to deviate from his philosophy. His defense struggles against good QBs and in the playoffs. This is something we all know and have seen so I'll just leave it at that. It does seem that perhaps there is a shift in scene coming in the form of a little more man vs man, so we'll see. 
     

    You mentioned about being upstanding. That got me thinking about Bill Belicheck and then got me thinking about 13 seconds. Bills was/ is a master at finding loopholes. I so wished that McD would have told one of our DBs to get physical or hold (at the LOS) on one of the first plays with 13 seconds left. Run a little clock and see what KC was doing. Idk maybe that's not a great plan but neither was lining up giving 10 yard cushions all the time. 
     

    basically I'm just glad it's not up to me but I do think most of the issues Buffalo has have to do with philosophy and in game decisions. And then sprinkle in some bad contracts (Von) and draft misses (Elam, and I really think Coleman is going to end up in the same category. Hope I'm wrong though).

    Don't worry.  I'll wait

    Ohh gotcha. Sorry I don't live on this thing. He's your answer from me at least. It's not my job to evaluate players based on their pay scale and performance. I don't set those bars and if you ask me most of these dudes get paid way too much. And the original point was not pay and performance it was "who wanted it more". I'm not going to apologies for thinking our Bills want it just as much. Perhaps it's just a raw talent issue and not heart. Perhaps Bean and McD can't evaluate talent as well as other teams idk. But to your point. 
    Allen plays his heart out in the playoffs. Cook played his part. Shakir played great. We really don't have a ton of elite guys. Beane bargain shops. Coaches coach them up pretty well I might say. They made it to the afc championship game after all. So maybe a good half the team played above their contracts. Idk none of this is probably what you want to read. I'm going to guess, my response is going to be met with more arguing tone and "I'm waiting" bravado so really does it matter what I think?
