    When’s the Last Time We Ran a “Real” Screen Pass?

    One more rant.  Just like Fran Stalinovskovichdavidovitshky is the deadliest woman in the world with a dodgeball, Josh Allen is the deadliest QB in the NFL rolling to his right.  Why not have a couple of designed rollouts?  Worst that happens is a throw OB if nobody’s open.

    I can see it now:

    1st and 10, Shnowman reports as tackle eligible. Josh rolls right, ignores a wide open Davis, sees Diggs triple teamed.

    Throws across his body to a wide open Dawkins!

     

    2nd down and 7, because Shnowman is built like a snowman.

    The refs were on the Bills’ side so let’s all have a big laugh about it.  No favoritism on this site.. none at all.  There are multiple pics of players lining up offside this past week and there was no flag.  This was a tainted win.  It’s all laughs until the Bills are on the other side of this sort of thing.  Then all the crying starts.  You guys cry and cry about rigged this, rigged that yet you’ll take every bad call and laugh about it as long as it’s in your favor.  What a shock!  Lol

    Lighten up, Frances. 

    Opponents are 3-15 the next game after beating us for the last 3 years.

    They're called counterperspectives and unless they're way off base, why the ad hominem at large?  

     

    This should be a place for discussion and exchange of ideas.  If we were all that, then we'd all be talking about how we'd only need to go 2-2 to clinch the 1st Seed, which frankly, given the talent that we have, contrasted with every other team in the AFC this season, is where we should be.  

     

    I'm still chuckling at MLB's (OP) "... wail and moan ..." comment, in good nature, truly, imagining some Bills fans at home actually wailing and moaning.  LOL  

     

    But leaning a little more seriously, talk about "wailing and moaning," we wail and moan, and I'm not talking about those that you label as "negative types," largely talking about the others, but we "wail and moan" over our "inadequate" receiving corps of Diggs, Davis, Shakir, and Kincaid, but imagine if we had a 34-year old Kelce, Rashee Rice, Justin Watson, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling for a moment.  Imagine the complaints coming in then.  We have better WRs than any other AFC team besides possibly Cincy and that's even debatable.  

     

    At the end of the day we're a 7-6 team currently "seeded" 11th and incontention for the 6th and 7th seeds with 6 total teams, none of which we have the tiebreaker over.  There isn't a team behind us that has a realistic shot if even a mathematical one at making the playoffs.  Much like 2017, we need help from other teams, or at least a slump by most of them.  Unlike 2017 when we were the worst team of any in playoff contention, we're arguably the best team in the AFC this season on paper.  

     

    Do we have more talent than all of them?  Absolutely, and with Burrow being out for the Bengals.  So why are we 7-6 along with the other five then?  It's a fair question.  To label everyone that sees that and acknowledges it as some sort of negative type is simply not fair to them, do as one may there.  

     

    Every single one of the teams that we're in contention with also has the ability to go between 3-1 and 1-3, Denver and Houston in particular on the high side and possibly 4-0 with Denver being the one of the hottest teams in the league right now at what, 5-1 their last 6 I think.  

     

    We play Dallas next, which is arguably the most balanced team in the league from O to D and pass-to-run alongside San Fran. 

    Then we're @ the Chargers where we haven't won since the '70s under Knox, and where we'll be playing a game starting at 11 p.m. our time.  The last time we had time-zone or jetlag issues we didn't fare so well. 

    Then vs. New England, but most of us will be on pins and needles going into that game, don't you think, considering the way that they played us in the first game and given Belichick v. McChoke-in-Big-Moments?  

    Then @ Miami to finish the season, which will be like a playoff game.  Need we be reminded of last season where they nearly beat us with Skylar Thompson who hasn't taken a snap this season, or them nearly beating us at the end of the season, both games in Buffalo, with Tua.  

     

    Nothing is a given at this point.  Everyone's stunned the Miami lost to Tennessee.  If they manage to lose to the Jets while we beat the Cowboys, incredibly and against all odds the division is back in play, particularly with them hosting Dallas and @ Baltimore after that before they play us.  Our game could very well decide the division, which many thought to not even be possible if that happens.  

     

    Your association between contrarian comments and people being negative is misplaced imo.  

     

    This team is far from having an identity of stepping up in the biggest of games.  Factor in that our point-differential over our last 9 games is a mere +26, and -6 if we do not include the Jets game at home.  The combined record of teams that we've faced is 59-58.  On paper we're not all that different than the teams that we're competing with for those last 6th and 7th seeds.  

     

    There's nothing wrong with being critical of your team, particularly when it's 7-6 but should have been 11-2, or at least 10-3 and in the driver's seat, and we haven't even mentioned having Allen yet.  Anyone being critical and concerned about playing a team that's playing better than us, a team that already beat us, a team that we have never beaten on their turf in over 40 years and in a 3-hour different time zone with a game starting at 11 p.m. our time, and @ Miami is hardly being negative.  

     

    And lest we forget, absolutely nothing that anyone here says or does makes one iota of a difference in how our team plays.  

     

    I guess I don't understand the hostilities towards fellow Bills fans in simply discussing varying aspects of our team.  

     

     

    That's a lot of words in response to a 2 sentence post that wasn't even directed at you. Feeling guilty?

    The facts are also this:

     

    1.  Over 60% winning percentage.

    2. Took a joke of a franchise and culture and turned it into a perennial contender.

    3. Wins at least 1 playoff game the last 3 seasons in a row.

    4. Drafted Josh Allen instead of Josh Rosen and was in charge while he went from raw, Wyoming Josh, to a top 5 QB in the league (top 2 IMO).

    5. Developed Hyde and Poyer into All-Pro Safeties.

    6. Drafted and Developed White and Milano into All-Pros.

    7. Drafted and developed one of the best nickle CBs in the game, Johnson.

    8. Attracted high value FA including Miller, Floyd, Jones.

    9. Has improved in analytical usage, most notably, going for it on 4th downs.

    10. We are in every single game are rarely are beat by more than one score. 

    11. Took the Bills to the Playoffs with Tyrod freaking Taylor as our QB.

     

    Dude needs to learn how to better utilize his challenges and timeouts, no doubt, but he sure has hell has way more positives than the few negatives you babies always cry about.  I could not care less what Trent Murphy and Quinton Spain type scrubs have to say about a former employer who fired their worthless butts.  Especially when they are too chicken to even put their names to it.

     

    If McD relinquishes the ability to:

     

     *Throw the challenge flag without someone's else's approval

     *Call defensive time outs 

     *Make any defensive calls after the 2 minute warning 

     

     I'd extend him for 5 years.

    A couple of guys THUMBS DOWN on my comment. 

    It wasn't meant for any disrespect for Frank Wycheck. But the Home run throw back play flashed in front of my eyes. 

    May Frank Wycheck Rest in Peace 🙏 

    You talkin' bout the Music City Forward Lateral?

    Go Woke. Go Broke.

    Companies continue to "go woke and go broke." So then why do they continue on that path and not adjust like any company would do under capitalism? If it's hurting your bottom line then you would change it to maximize profits right?

     

    The fact that they continue to have worse and worse profits and this is seemingly ok for them should make you all very nervous. That points to market manipulation, corporate monopolies, and the end of a free market. Someone has way too much control over this woke agenda and this would not be the case if we were truly living in a free society.

    Go woke go broke is a bit of a misnomer. I think its really "Too woke, go broke."

    This and your other posts are the same mealy-mouthed drivel of the kind that leftists use to prop open the doors to everyone permanently. As long as you operate in the leftist frame the leftists will always win.

     

    A horde of "professionals" does not a nation make.

    Dear lord, did you just call me a leftist? That's a first for me.  You must have me confused with someone else. 

     

    If you reread my original post in this thread, it says that we should shut down the porous southern border.  That doesn't really jibe with leaving the door open, does it?

     

    As for the rest, America is a nation of immigrants.   Why on gods green earth wouldn't you want the best candidates to immigrate?  Too often we allow international students to attend US colleges over us citizens, (only to see them take that training back to their home country). If we are going to allow it, we should retain that talent and exploit it.  Is that right-wing enough to pass your purity test?

    I guess it’s just time to have fun with this crap

     

    id say something like this

     

    beat KC and/or dallas

    (GREAT WE NEEDED THAT!!!  Here we come !!!!

     

    then drop a stupid one to Pats at home or Chargers

     

     

    another would be to lose two heart breakers a in a row - well would be three

     

    to KC and then to Dallas losing all three games by final drives down the field (seems to be the 2023 theme)

    You seem like the kind of kid who sticks his tongue in the fan.

    Von Miller faces arrest in domestic violence case in Dallas

    As the usual TBD suspects get their pitchforks and torches ready to go after yet another woman, I'll quote another reply I saw elsewhere that best articulates a good perspective to keep here...

     

    "Its worth putting aside some disbelief for a moment to also think about how abusive relationships work. As a woman, particularly a pregnant one who is probably feeling extra vulnerable, there is always a lot of pressure to comply, or not report, or to smooth things over to avoid futher conflict and violence.

     

    Imagine you have just seen a man the size of Von Miller angry enough to strike you, he is thousands of times richer and more powerful than you, more or less your entire well being relies on him at this point, and he or his lawyers just told you in very unpleasant terms your call to the police may have just cost him tens of millions of dollars in guaranteed money. Money that would have gone to you and your child, but maybe more scary money that the father of your child who already assaulted you now feels like you cost him.

     

    Is this a highly toxic relationship? Probably. But please don't underestimate the pressure to capitulate in a situation like this, and try and have a little grace in your heart for this likely very scared and confused woman."

    Who has their pitchforks out for her?
