Jimmy Harris 69

Schnooplow……I saw a shirt at Wegmans with that name and a reference to Dawkins….so it’s game over.

I don’t care what they wear, as long as they win.

Snow Angel Sean will come out swinging. Play action early, will lead to successful pass plays and an early score. Defensively they will crash the line, spy Lamar. Hold Baltimore to field goals, while Buffalo gets touchdowns. Lamar will have to pass and they will give him a taste of 15 degrees in the Queen City. At the end of the day Buffalo’s Greasy Neal Award winning coach will have led this team to another improbable victory.

Buffalo’s offense was out of rhythm in 2022, a trend that carried through to Ken Dorsey’s sacking in 2023. This Buffalo offense would have been fine in the snow. That loss is responsible in large part for where we ended up in 2023 and 24. Our offensive line has gotten bigger, we run the ball much more effectively. The passing game is more strategic. We aren’t taking those big shots down the field with the same regularity. The defense is younger, retooled. I like where we are as a team. Josh had his best year as a pro, McDermott has grown as a coach. The sports establishment has under-valued and under estimated the Bills all year. It continues this week with Lamar getting all the touches. That’s perfect for this team. Sunday cant come too soon.

The 2024-2025 Bills run more than the 23 Bills as they were 53.1/ 46.9 pass. Even more startling is the change from the 2020 Bills who passed 61.7% of the time. Control the line of scrimmage, run the ball, get the lead, frustrate Lamar.

McDermott has rebuilt this team to be a big run first offense. That will be one of the huge keys to the game for the Bills. Eating up yards and clock on offense keeps those goons off the field and out of the end zone. The Steelers loaded the box in the second half when they stopped the Ravens on the ground. The Bills must stop the king and thereby force Lamar to beat them. If they can do that and get a lead, Baltimore takes Henry out of the game themselves.

McDermott is an excellent coach——top five in the league. The Bills won’t lose today. This team is locked in. The real test of McDermott’s skills is against Baltimore next week. Though, as fearsome as king Henry may be, Buffalo beat a Ravens team once before 17-3 that led the NFL in rushing during the 2020 season. It is clear to me, seeing the KC win, that Coach has learned some hard lessons. He’s having some fun this year and is even willing to show fans a little of himself. That takes courage because face it, we are an awful bunch of butt holes.

Hey superstar, you dropped a touchdown against the chiefs in a playoff game. When you could have backed up all that talk —— you failed the team. Thats your Buffalo legacy.

I’m disappointed he never got a shot at safety. Physically he has better tools than Hamlin for one. Cine had a very good college career at Georgia and it was injuries which derailed his time with the Vikes. Hamlin looked mediocre against the crappy Pats, giving up big plays and missing tackles. (A pattern) But Cine isn’t one of McDermott’s “guys” and Hamlin is. And of course you can’t expect an outside guy to break into our dominant pass defense. 😏

I don’t have any regret over the Bills’ decision. Coleman has had a decent rookie year given the offensive system the team runs. No receiver on the team has stacked up fabulous numbers. It would have been the same with Worthy. The extra pick allowed them to get Carter at a position of need. The Bills are leading the AFC in points per game and second in the NFL in this category. Allen is having an MVP season. We don’t need Worthy. What you may like about his production versus Coleman comes down to Andy Reid. It seems like you have a solution in search of a problem.

The Chiefs former practice squad kicker Mathew K. Wright, waived a couple days ago, is life time 51-59 or 86.4%. 11 of 11 from 20-29yds 19-20 from 30-39yds 14-17 from 40-49yds 7-11 from 50-59yds This is a guy we ought to take a look at if he gets through waivers.

Number one, this defense is not better with Matt Milano in the line up. It’s been worse since he has been in the line up. The snow was the 12 and 13th man against the niners. It was the difference maker in that game. Williams is the better player. As for last week, the entire defensive game plan was ill advised, poorly executed and lacked timely adjustments. Stafford comes in with the most hits of any qb and we don’t lay a finger on him. Yet we come within a minute of victory only to have bad strategy wipe out our last chance. I’ve hoped for more plays for Lewis Cine all year but he only had 9 last week. It seems likely that Bishop and Ingram will get snaps. The missing millionaires up front will hopefully find their arses, if not Detroit will score a bunch of points.

I’ve followed the bills since 1969, yea I’m praying for a championship too. But ive seen enough bad coaches and teams in Buffalo to appreciate the turnaround since 2017. So I have to disagree with that sentiment. This does matter. I really like this team and this quarterback. When I look around the NFL and see the massive sucking in places like carolina, Chicago, New York, Jacksonville and Miami, I am grateful for these Bills. I will not hold the failures of the past against this team.

We Bills fans can be a tough room. Coach hit all the right notes in his post game. Honored the past, reminded them, and us all about the temporal nature of life. That’s where his wisdom lives. On the field, his team has run the table with a decimated receiving corp and team that was rebuilding (remember). I have been very critical of this coach and joined many who doubted his ability to get a ring. He has shown us something this year. It turns out his push to improve the run game is a league wide trend. He has learned from his losses to KC. Instead of looking tight, he’s making snow angels. Yes, we celebrate on victory Monday then move on. This team has the talent, the intangibles, the experience and the Quarterback to climb the mountain. Sean McDermott is Buffalo’s Coach. Five straight division titles show he should stay Buffalo’s Coach for a long time.

So in each case the lousy team played true to form. Not really a surprise. What’s more disappointing is the slate of crummy games on Thursday and Friday. Talk about full blown stink. It was tv dinner for the thankgiving meal.

Once a dynasty is established, either people love them or hate them. At this point is a bit funny that folks get caught up in the Chiefs not winning well enough. But like them or not, the Chiefs find a way to beat lesser teams. Their fortunes changed here. That tells me we can do it again in the playoffs. Their close games also make the case that if a team plays the perfect game, the Chiefs will fall again.

I just hope to hell we get a new kicker next year. No kicker deserves this many threads.

This is tv, they are probably sober. What???

Thanks for the research Mike. For the record, Green Bay won the NFL Championship in 1965 before the Super Bowl began so they did in fact have a three peat; winning in 66 and 67. I see Buffalo winning this game. It remains to be seen whether they face KC in the playoffs. I remember the 1969 LA Rams went 11-0. They lost their last three and lost in the playoffs to Joe Kapp and the Vikings. The point being, they seemed invincible until they weren’t. The Chiefs might run into the same bout of mortality. Maybe some other poor sob will face them in the playoffs first and do the job for us.

Oh man a pro Edmunds take. Not too many of those here. It was one of his abilities (availability). I hope Cine gets his shot at backer. Buffalo Joe must be in blue heaven. Go Bills !

McD is going to stick with his low risk, low reward safety line up. It’s what he does…it’s all he does. Only something on the practice field in combination with failures(leading to loses) in games will give him the nudge to shuffle safeties after the kerfuffles in Baltimore and Houston.

It would be more likely in January or February than in the regular season. As others have noted any such appearance would be driven by another significant injury to our safety room in the playoffs. Similarly, the Rams brought back Eric Weddle for SB LVI as an insurance policy. Hyde, whose career I greatly admire simply had too many physical problems to continue playing. A Modern Roman gladiator, wounded from too many battles.

It seems clear the coaching staff doesn’t believe in Edwards so it would be in the best interest of the team to trade him for some asset(s). He would have been on the field by now if it was going to happen. Damar is a middling talent and Bishop is a rook, prone to giving McD agita. Yet Edwards is the forgotten man on Sunday. Cine has much to offer and he too can sit on the bench on Sunday. 🫤Time to cut bait.

I’m surprised Evans got a thread, in what scenario was a kid ever going to get a snap? There’s some kind of Tyrel shavers vibe going on here..

From the first Samuel has been miscast as a gadget player. The injuries set him back but the game usage is baffling. We see Mack Hollins running fly routes against Houston instead of Samuel. I know Mack is a super guy and a good blocker, special teamer, etc, etc….but he doesn’t have 9.3 speed, their 24 million dollar guy has that. Something doesn’t fit. It would be nice if this signing doesn’t go down as total shite.
