    I don't get it. The facility is already unable to handle the current number of people who want to go and there is no parking. Most of the fan base is 70 miles away. It doesn't draw any more fans from Rochester since attendance is lottery dependent. I can't believe they haven't been able to find a better venue.

  2. On Get Up yesterday, Jeff Saturday was asked about the parallels of Bills/Chiefs with Colts/Pats- Manning/Brady,  specific to what the regular season games mean prior to playoff games.  He said it's still important because you're trying glean information and find weak spots to exploit in the playoffs - you're actually seeing/creating matchups and getting an understanding from actually playing that you can't get from film.

     

    One other thing he said was that when the Colts were on the Bills side (losing in playoffs), they realized that physicality and the run game (what Buffalo has done) were the way they would open up the pass game which was being keyed on. 

     

    Foxworth also made the point when asked about the psychological aspect of constantly winning in the regular season then losing in playoffs is that winning consistently in the reg season is better than the alternative of losing consistently.  He reiterated the points the reg season still has importance in seeing where they think they can attack you etc.  More importantly, that the playoff games were so close, play here or there, it's not like the Chiefs were definitively better than them each time (didn't also mention injuries) and part of the competitiveness and belief that comes in the playoffs is being able to show yourself, and them, that we can beat you based on what happened in the regular season

    Cue the Keon truthers to tell you that the data is bad/irrelevant or he needs more time to develop because he’s young or it’s Brady’s fault or whatever other excuse they can come up with. The guys stinks. He can’t get open. It’s not complicated. 
     

    Here’s another chart showing his ineptness:

     

     

    Charts are obviously broken - shouldn't Worthy be off the chart top right into the margin

    I obviously grew up in luxurious privilege because my mother never allowed bologna in the house, only top end coldcuts from Federal on NFB

     

    I thought it was a treat when i'd have it at friends' houses lol

    For me it was whatever the cheapest pressed ham was on sale that week between Super Duper and Topps at D&L plaza (each week my parents would go to both and buy whatever was on sale at each that week) - you know the fine grade ham that you had to occasionally remove the chunks of ligament from your mouth as you chewed

    I agree with you here on all of this.


    I do want to add Albert Breer today mentioned that a lot of teams seem to be more careful right now with QBs in a load mgmt type of way with their usage and what is being shown in the first half. I absolutely believe that the Bills have been doing that with Josh and he has been told to keep it in check until later in the year. That still does not excuse the issues in the passing game that are so prevalent at this time, but it has made me wonder if the game plan has been so intentional at times with runs partly for later in the year. Breer acknowledging as much and other analysts saying the Bills are make Josh be a game manager really makes me think there is credence to some of lack of passing being shown. I don't agree with it, but with the injuries this year and longer season I can see more teams doing that.

    This is an interesting take - and also could help explain some of Josh's 'low-positive' demeanor lately

  6. The biggest takeaway I had from last night's game is the most dangerous thing from the KC offense is off-script plays with Mahomes prance-scrambling to run for 1sts or find wide open guys at will once the play breaks down.  Need to bring a rush with 4 while still containing him.

     

    I also hope the Bills O is practicing over and over what to do when a 0 blitz is brought at a crucial 3rd or 4th and short

    I'm ALREADY annoyed about the "Bills always beat them in the regular & lose to them in the playoffs" narrative.

     

    Like Manning never eventually got past the Pats, or Jordan never ended up getting past the Pistons, or basically an endless list of sports narratives being true until they weren't.

     

    I also hate this.  The fact that the Bills have beat them so many times in the regular season and then lost close games to them in the playoffs just means the teams have been really really close all these years and those playoff games could have gone either way.  Sometimes close games are decided by a single play, luck, injuries to starters, once in a century miracles that occur within 13 secs etc

    Why does there need to be a challenge?? That's an obvious replay assist overturn.

     

    Give me a break with these refs 

    It is so unbelievably ridiculous that millions of people on their couch can see immediate proof of a call - and there is supposed to be a replay official doing the same - and all you get is a bunch of idiot refs huddling around and making the wrong call

    I would like to understand this virtual technology some more. In some sports like tennis, it is easy to understand. In football, how does this technology identify the location of the nose when the knee touches the ground. Something looked fishy on that spot. 

    The current technology showing the line does nothing regarding the spotting of the ball - just where the first down line is
