Coach Tuesday

These coaches some days… sheesh.

Someone please hire away Dabs…

Plus he cut a bunch of team captains before this season to prove a point. Flores may get canned.

I think some of us thought (and still think) speed is a needed add to this offense. Tho I wasn’t advocating trading up for Ruggs.

Suspect he was impressed but thought they needed time to develop. Turns out Jefferson needed no time, he was pro ready.

Jerry Jeudy has been a real disappointment.

Officially a bust.

He has the face of a guy walking out of a bathroom holding a newspaper.

Gonna guess your pickup truck has a sticker of Calvin peeing.

Haven’t seen any media coverage about it so I thought I’d start a thread. Good possibility tomorrow is Jerry Hughes’ last regular season game as a member of the Bills. Since arriving in Buffalo in 2013 in a trade for crummy linebacker Kelvin Shephard, Hughes has been a mainstay of the Bills’ defense. He has 52.5 sacks in 143 games, tied with Cornelius Bennett for 4th in team history. Half a sack tomorrow will put him solely in possession of 4th place on the franchise list - seems doable with a rookie QB and shaky o-line. Though Jerry’s play has fallen off somewhat this year, he deserves to be recognized as one of the better defensive players of his era and certainly of the last 25 years of Bills football. He rarely missed a snap and brought energy on nearly every play, even though he still can be counted for around one boneheaded play (late hit, early jump) per game. He notoriously doesn’t draw flags and fought referees as often as he fought offensive tackles. He was a standout player during the back half of the Drought - one of the few guys who continued to fight when many of his teammates had given up on the season. And he was here to experience the Revival along with Kyle Williams (who sits at 5th on the franchise sack list). Jerry, if tomorrow is your last regular season home game, thanks for the memories - you were a pleasure to watch and your energy will be missed.

You are basically talking about making him the Deebo Samuel this offense badly needs - a YAC monster and matchup nightmare. Sign me up for that. Agree that slamming him into the defensive front seven 20 times a game is a recipe for disaster.

Or it suggests small sample size?

Most insufferable person in the NFL.

Agree with this. And no one would call me a "homer" around here - I don't think enough is said about how much Allen's teammates rally behind him. This is not lost on GMs around the league, they see it. Having a guy like Allen who works harder than anyone, is great to be around, inspires and engages with the community, is clean as a whistle off the field, is "all ball," and is, as one exec put it in an Athletic article I read the other day, "the most competitive player on that roster," is simply invaluable to have in addition to his outer-worldly athletic ability. Not to say that the other guys on that list aren't of a similar ilk - Mahomes probably is, Burrow might be getting there. Herbert is low-key, I don't know yet if guys are running through walls for him; Murray is hyper-competitive but also tends to sulk when things go poorly - his leadership skills have been openly questioned. My point is, Allen brings so much to the table, he's a unicorn, nearly any team in the league with kill to have a guy like him in the fold. It's inarguable at this point.

A random topic would be “what is the difference between a bistro and a cafe?”

There was ONE POSTER who complained about Phillips and he was the first one to show up this past week and own it. One.

Interesting. Oddly enough, I thought the week before, in New England, he showed a mastery of the touch pass all game - it was his best-ever game with those types of passes IMO. And it was plenty cold. Yet one week later he was back to throwing only fastballs.

Wow everyone is really on-brand in this sorry thread.

Like Trubisky?

Either way I don't think he'll be too expensive if they want to keep him on a team-friendly deal. His skills aren't too valuable on the open market - it's not like he came on late with a bevy of sacks or INTs, for example.

But those idiot fans with their premature declarations...

And yet in another way it's far too early to declare Phillips a "cornerstone" of anything. He's come on in the second half of this season. Before that he was in danger of losing his job. It's still far from clear he can sustain his current level of play nor is it a sure thing that he'll remain a starter even if they bring him back next year.

SMH...

Ok.

What kind of sh-- post is this? Oliver has played great this year. Phillips has played really well the last few games. Why you'd take all of that as an opportunity to chest-thump and berate fellow Bills fans is beyond me. You had nothing to do with either player's success and it's not as if you've been running around championing those two as hidden gems on this forum.
