If we manage to pull it off, it would be quite the 30 For 30 story. Going back to getting screwed by McKissic and WFT which made us lose out on both McKissic and Wallace, the Araiza debacle, Saffold's car accident, Knox's brother passing, each and every injury on what has been the previously healthiest team, the illnesses, moving a home game to Detroit... Let alone all the stuff that has happened in-game like fumbling the snap to give the Vikings the go ahead TD. It's just ridiculous. And we still have 1/3 of the season left!

Sounds about right to what we've been seeing on the field. Which is a big concern and bummer as far as our Super Bowl aspirations go, because one thing that every SB champion has in common is a good amount of luck breaking their way through the season. As the old saying goes "it's better to be lucky than to be good"

Not only did we make Wallace an offer, but we would have made a competing/winning offer had we not gotten dicked around by McKissic in Washington. Beane was very upfront and transparent (read:pissed off) that had they known McKissic was going to stay in Washington, and had they known Washington was going to make a matching offer, he wouldve spent those resources on bringing back Wallace.

He also had a huge fumble against the Lions in the 4th quarter, down 12, as Giants were mounting a comeback. Hodgins turned the ball over to the Lions at the Giants' own 30 yard line, and instead of a comeback, prompted the Lions to score again quickly and put the nail in the coffin.

Yeah, his low numbers keep him out of the Sort, but if you drill down you can find him. 8 Tackles, 2 Misses. 20% miss rate. Not sure where the 66% is coming from at all. Unless they are counting QB Pressures against him as missed tackles, because he has 8 pressures. That would be 8/18, or 10 misses for 66%. So maybe. But that would be doing AJ dirty.

I wonder where Cover1 is pulling that from, because while tackling has been bad, things dont look so dire when sorting by Missed Tackle % here: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2022/defense_advanced.htm

It's always only "Win the Super Bowl"

Yeah I dont get it. Agreed on the 2nd Bye week that was mentioned tho.

Romo and Nantz are entertaining enough. The Thanksgiving broadcast mucks things up as well. So much time talking about fluff, or playing puff pieces, instead of showing TD replays or game highlights/analysis. Whatever. Taking the win, and we're on to New England.

One of the group texts had everyone SCREAMING for just one quick slant. We finally got one, I believe to Diggs in like the 4th quarter. Maybe it is not having the slot expert/vet available. I'd hope Hines could make that up with Crowder out. No reason to be throwing 20 yard crossers when we need 2-3 yards. Use the quick slant if we MUST pass.

We dont know that.

Happy Birthday, dude!

I've done enough McKenzie bashing for this year. So I'll just say I've been happy to see his role reduced, and he shouldnt have been given the ball on the 2pt conversion either.

Lots of good points, but I want to focus on this one. It's a much bigger problem than 3rd and 2. In the Vikings game we had 3 2nd half possessions in a row stall on 2nd and 2 because we couldnt pick up 6 effing feet on 2 tries. We get into short yardage situations and Dorsey calls plays that sends everyone 10-20 yards downfield. This continued all through the Browns game too. For as complicated as modern NFL Xs and Os can be, football is still a simple game. Line up and move the frickin ball. It blows my mind

Hines on returns was our best Offensive weapon and he didnt even have an Offensive touch at that point. The field position he was giving us was crucial. Get this dude in the game plan already!

Gives me a little solace to see that the rich are getting scammed in crypto too 🤣

I get the math behind the decision. Coaches have cards that have all the formulas of exactly when they should and shouldnt go for 2. So if it is one of those scenarios, I can justify listening to the formula. However, if you need 2 TOUGH yards, then McKenzie is the last player who should be getting the ball. He doesnt have the mass or power to fight for extra inches. He has already illustrated this numerous times. He reminds me of Roscoe Parrish. Fast, agile, athletic, but doesnt have the mass to absorb hits in the NFL. Not blaming it on McKenzie, he can't help his size. If we were going to run, it should be a power run with the snap taken under Center to give the RB a chance to get a head of steam before hitting the line. Or if we are going to run McKenzie outside, get him in motion so he already has momentum going. I'm frustrated with once again leaving easy points on the field, and wish we would've just taken the 1. But I can justify that decision. The playcall and personnel is my issue on this play. If we ran that with Hines, I'd bet he gets in simply due to having 30lbs and more power than McK.

So I'm nuts to think that the folks with the high-ranking connections and unlimited resources should have a better plan than "I hope the neighbors dig us out"? If anything, the Bills should be digging their neighbors out. Mario Williams did this with his Bobcat. Got Jim Kelly and a few other people cleared, delivered them all groceries. THAT is how it should be done.

I mean, sure. This is the same list of convenient excuses folks have been making for the past month, and I guess will continue to make as this goes into the last quarter of the season. I understand my place as a fan, meaning, nothing I say or ask really affects anything in the Bills' lives, so I dont think it's unreasonable to be wondering what is going on and when he'll be coming back. Especially when it is our Defensive Secondary unit that has been demolished by injuries and we are desperate for serviceable players. I'm curious at what point you would start asking? You waiting until the playoffs to question it? The Pats game? I'll be waiting to see, just like you. But damn, already...

Sure, just like his Yachts when he isnt in Florida and Jets when he isnt traveling.

I feel like an over the top demand would have been expecting him back to start the season, or maybe even at the Bye. It's week 11, going on week 12. It's over a year since the injury. Guys who have had the same injury after Tre are already back playing. His coach and loyal team analysts have made comments that he needs to come back. You could take some of Josh's comments last week regarding his injury to be directed at getting Tre back. This is on Tre right now, and it's not unreasonable for fans to be questioning wtf is going on with him.

Well, it's easier to blitz when you run man instead of a soft zone. And our LBs do get pretty deep at times. I'm with Frazier and keeping things the same. Rush 4, Drop 7. Not much more we can do. It will help to get Groot back.

I love Tre, but dude needs to get back on the field, or let us find someone who actually wants to play football.

I get your thinking, but the problem with blitzing when we are down guys in the Secondary, is you end up having to take even more guys out of coverage in order to blitz which only serves to further weaken your secondary and coverage. If we're blitzing, that means we are taking Milano, Edmunds, or Taron out of coverage and putting more pressure on the backups filling in at DB.

Then some other big, kickass all terrain vehicle. Heck, make it a fleet of backhoes and bulldozers. Terry can afford it.
