  1. As a Crimson Tide Fan, I am not upset at the decision, although I don't necessarily agree with it. SMU looked pretty decent, but they play in a candy ass  conference. Notre Dame cannot even boast of doing that. That said, Alabama was shaky due to having Milroe at quarterback. They lost three games so I don't blame the committee for making jealous haters around the country happy.

     

    While I will miss Alabama not competing in the playoffs, I'll be OK. I guess I will have to think back on Coach Saban winning SIX national titles at Alabama. Or the time Tua came in and sent the Bulldogs home weeping with the greatest play in the history of college football. Georgia Fans will never get over this and my heart bleeds for them. 😔Or does it? 😂

    SMU - F Bama!

     

    If Bama and the SEC want to blame the CFP for IU and SMU making the playoff, then they only have to look internally.  The SEC gave GA, BAMA, Old Miss brutal schedules.  GA played Texas, Bama, Ole Miss on the road, played Tenn at home and also Clemson on a neutral site.  Brutal.  Those schedules made ESPN happy, but ultimately hurt the SEC's chances of getting 4 teams in.   

     

    These 16 team and 18 team conferences need to do a better job of balancing schedules.  Unfortunately, you don't know that teams like Fla St, Wash, and Mich are going to crap the bed after big years. To start the year in ESPN's preseason rankings Mich was 9th, Fla St 10th, Mizz 11th, Utah 12, Oklahoma 17th, OKST 18th.  What happened to those teams? 

     

    Ironically Michigan beat OSU and Oklahoma killed Bama, which is why Bama is home crying right now.  GA came through their gauntlet to with only 2 losses on the road to highly ranked teams, while Bama lost 3 including a home loss to Oklahoma and Vanderbilt.  Tough luck fellas.  Good to see some new teams for a change.

    I don't blame you for your vitriolic comments about Alabama because as bad as you claim they were this season, they did manage to defeat Georgia yet again. 

  2. I am not young and have seen my share of football, but; I have never seen better QB play than what I saw from Josh Allen last night. Never mind the great runs, some of those passes between the defenders looked impossible to complete. The three TD passes and runs were a milestone, but they don't even begin to tell the whole story of the game that he played. Josh Allen makes his receivers look like Jerry Rice. The loss sucked but we were lucky to be in the game after giving up 44 points on the road. I have total confidence in this team for as long as Josh stays healthy.

     

     Bills fans really do deserve to have a great QB like Josh, this after decades of various degrees of suffering.

    I feel like prior to the season starting the general vibe around here could fit into four categories 

     

    1. Some posters discussed the risk of changing a HC

    2. Some felt he would ultimately figure out his postseason issues

    3. Some felt his regular season success was enough so far and if nothing else that should buy him more time 

    4. Some felt he never would figure it out in the postseason and it was a lost cause

     

    I was a #4 (go figure) and still remain in the last group. While thrilled at what we have done this year as I have hope I didn't expect to arrive at this season, nothing we did in the regular season would be able to change where I land in that grouping. We have just been too good in the regular season and that isn't where my concern is.  With all that said, I get a sense that I'm a minority at this point. That based on this years performance McD has largely quieted group #4 and most posters have now shifted into 1, 2, or 3 or at least a combination of them.

     

    So I guess it's a two part question here...

     

    1. Has the season so far resulted in you shifting from one of the groupings to another?

    2. If we lose in the divisional round or earlier will that dramatically impact your perception of Sean and how this season has gone?

     

     

     

    The title of this thread is a vey fair question.

     

    I am going to answer yes. I was one of his biggest critics. I am not going to list them, but I will not back down on my criticism of some of his moves, (especially in his first season), but; he deserves a lot of praise for moves like getting rid of Diggs and bringing in Cooper. Josh sure looked happy enough while wallowing around in the snow, and keeping him happy is HUGE! 👍:)

     

    I am a big enough person to look at the facts and state that I underestimated McDermott. That said, I am a greedy Bills fan and I want more. He needs to lead this team to a finish that they are capable of.  The way Josh is playing I am not afraid of any team. I think we can get there this year but we need Coach McDermott to keep things moving in the right direction, and I'm now thinking that there is a real possibility that he can.

     

    GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    He is a great college coach. He was a bad OC in Atlanta. Went from 1st in points the year before under Shanahan to 15th with Sark and the same players. 

    Maybe. Remember, Sark went through some serious personal problems. When he came to Alabama his salary was $35,000 per year. At Alabama, he needed to make 50K  to have medical benefits for his family. Saban went in an got him the raise. 

    As I'm sure you remember, when Kiffen was the OC at Bama, he accepted a head coaching job shortly before the championship game. Surprisingly, Saban told Kiffen to just get out and replaced him with Sark, who won a title the following season.

     

    Sark's play calling against an excellent Ohio State team was the best I ever saw in a college football game. He lost Davonta Smith (who had 212 yards in the first half iirc) and he didn't miss a beat. He was sending Najee Harris in motion every different way and nobody knew how to stop the Tide that night.

     

    Tbh, I am unsure how much harder it is to coach in the NFL than on a top college program, especially when you are facing another premier college program. People can point to Saban failing at Miami all they want, but; Saban wanted Drew Brees and was given Dante Culpepper.

     

    In any event, I of course don't know for sure what Sarkisian would do now in the NFL. What I do know that if I owned a team I would offer him a job (which he would surely turn down because I think that he makes more than 10 mil per season). 

     

     

  6. I ain't got time to think about money
    Or what it can buy 
    And I ain't got time to sit down and wonder
    What makes a birdie fly 
    And I don't have the time to think about
    What makes a flower grow
    And I've never given a second thought
    To where the rivers flow

    (Too busy thinking about my baby) Oh, yeah
    And I ain't got time for nothing else

    So with Bowling Green beating Ball State Saturday, the only way Buffalo has a shot of making the MAC Championship is if Ball State beats Ohio in Athens. Not very likely. Still a great year and a chance to go 8-4 with a win over Kent State Tuesday, with a bowl to follow.

    Maybe they will play for the national title.

  8. You make me feel mighty real
    You make me feel mighty real
    Oh you make me feel mighty real
    You make me feel mighty real

     

    I feel real when you touch me
    I feel real when you kiss me
    I feel real when you touch me
    I feel real when you want me

  9. All I know is something like a bird within her sang 
    All I know she sang a little while and then flew on
    Tell me all that you know
    I'll show you
    Snow and rain

     

    If you hear that same sweet song again, will you know why?
    Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passing by
    Laugh in the sunshine
    Sing, cry in the dark
    Fly through the night

  10. Full steam ahead, Mister Boatswain, full steam ahead
    Full steam ahead it is, Sergeant
    (Cut the cable, drop the cable)
    Aye-aye, sir, aye-aye
    Captain, captain

     

    As we live a life of ease (a life of ease)
    Every one of us (every one of us)
    Has all we need (has all we need)
    Sky of blue (sky of blue)
    And sea of green (sea of green)
    In our yellow (in our yellow)

    As of now, Shedeur Sanders & Cam Ward are the top-2 QB prospects, and they'd both be well behind the first 3 QBs drafted in 24'. I don't see a true frachise-changer in this draft.

     

    Sanders is supposedly already tweeting Raiders hype, which is not the greatest thing character-wise, since it seems really just based on him wanting to get into the Vegas scene. His college team has a chance to make the playoff if they keep winning, and he's already thinking draft.

    I think that Jackson Dart from Ole Miss is good enough to be a successful NFL QB. I think that he has the potential to be as good as Brock Purdy, however I would like to know how @GunnerBill and @BADOLBILZ and others view this kid.

  12. I just can't help believing
    When she smiles up soft and gentle
    With a trace of misty morning
    And a promise of tomorrow in her eyes...

    And I just can't help believing
    When she's lying close beside me
    And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sigh...

    This time the girl is gonna stay
    This time the girl is gonna stay...
    For more than just a day
     

  13. Do you remember
    The 21st night of September?
    Love was changin' the minds of pretenders
    While chasin' the clouds away

    Our hearts were ringin'
    In the key that our souls were singin'
    As we danced in the night, remember
    How the stars stole the night away

  14. You know more about the team than I do, but their schedule was absolutely brutal. I have a feeling that they really might not be as bad as you think. Please, name me a team that could stand up to that schedule.

     

    They play Alabama next week and I don't know what the point spread will be, but I have a feeling it will be approx. 17 and I think this is far too high. Milroe ranges from great to frustratingly mediocre and I would not lay big points to Oklahoma.

     

    Jmo.

  15. My choice is Orlando Pace in his prime. He was big, as strong as an ox, brutal, and very agile. He would open holes for Marshall Faulk that trucks could drive through.

    Reggie had guys he couldn't beat too.   And they were RT's not the stud LT's of the day.   The great Erik Williams used to beat Reggie like a rented mule.  He pitched a full shutout.....zero tackles even........against Reggie in a playoff game once.   

    Erik Williams was the most dominant RT I ever saw. Bob Brown was also scary good but Williams was flat out great. Nobody was going to out muscle him, and he was also very agile for a RT. If he was on the Bills they are a different team, and there are not that many RTs who could make that much of a difference.

     

    And while we are talking about Tackles, when Leon Lett was healthy, he might have been the best DT I for one ever saw.

  16. Goin' down the road feeling bad

    Goin' down the road feeling bad, yeah, yeah
