The Bucs are 100% vaccinated behind VERY outspoken, public, and clear-cut direction from Arians. The Patriots are also one of the top vaccinated teams behind Belichick's approach. None of that "respecting decision" garbage. Take the politics and fear-mongering propaganda out of it, it's about availability and winning. A completely opposite approach from what our coach and players took. Team-first vs Player-first. It's hardly the only, or even main, issue. But there is no way it hasn't contributed to at least a minor rift in the locker room, regardless of what players say in press conferences. And rift or not, has now hampered our team in at least 2 games, which greatly contributed to losing. Starts at the top with leadership. Edit: A preemptive "save your puke faces". Facts dont care about how you feel about the vaccines. Like it or not, this is about availability and being committed to winning, and it is what it is.

Happy Birthday NG!!

Yeah, that about sums it up perfectly.

Like I said, I hate the idea as well. But there are certain things that need to be discussed. At least among us fans whose opinions dont mean anything.

As much as I hate to contribute to the over-reactionary, dramatic posts made after a loss, I feel this at least needs to be discussed. First, I HATE the idea of changing coaches again. Good organizations do not do this. They simply make the adjustments where needed, and keep the ship sailing. So I do not suggest this lightly. That said, while McD has been EXACTLY what the Bills needed as a culture-changing rebuilder, I am not sure he is the type of cut-throat destroyer needed to take our talent to the next level, keep the team playing tough, and lead us to the promise land for a Championship. Reid, Arians, Belichick, Carroll... None of these guys are exactly "kumbaya culture" guys. I dont know what else it will take to get this group pissed off and fired up to win. We are soft and finesse-y on both sides of the ball... And this isnt even getting into how woefully unprepared we have been for most games this season, and how poor our players are at even the basics (tackling, catching, protecting the ball, etc). Dude needs to show us something, fast.

The team we saw on the field today is not a playoff team.

And there is no reason to play the anthem before a sporting event. It is neither the time nor the place for it. It makes no sense to do so. There. Problem solved.

The process is a joke, they barely check anything, dont worry about it.

You say collapse like we walk in every week Kings of the Castle and easily crush every team. We've done it a couple times, but we also just lost to the Jags. Who kows which Bills team shows up week to week. It's any given Sunday in this league, and having your starting RT out hurts any team.

Just some typical memes. Nothing too Qrazy, but obvious enough where he stood.

Not sure if you are upset over the Brown news, or because someone beat you to a scoop

Ah, looks like he's cleaned it up since becoming pro. When he was drafted, there was some talk about some of the things he had posted previously. Maybe he's changed his tune. Hopefully he's vaxxed for employment reasons, if nothing else.

If he's vaxxed, he might be able to play Sunday, and will almost definitely be able to play against the Saints. If he isnt vaxxed, he can not play either game. HUGE difference, and plenty to do with being vaxxed.

If he is vaxxed he could play Sunday with negative tests tomorrow, Saturday, and/or Sunday. I believe.

Unless he's vaxxed. Which looking at his instagram is unlikely, but maybe...

I'd hope a rookie trying to make a team would be vaccinated, but I guess we'll find out soon enough.

This was an absolute snooze-fest. Even worse than the Training Camp version. Amazon did it way better, as they focused less on the personal/family stories and kept it more about what goes on in the building and during games (at least, IIRC). I dont care about Wentz's family and kids, nor any of the players' families. Show me what goes on with day to day activities as a football player/coach.

Jones does not concern me. He is performing well as an efficient game manager, but that is it. Their coaching, run game, and defense however, do concern me. Judon is performing better than even expected, and they got some players back from COVID opt-out last year. Going to be a tough day for both of our Lines. Thankfully, the Dolphins somehow pulled one off on Opening Day and handed them an additional Division loss. I'm hoping that we can at least split with the Pats, and keep a leg up on division record. Definitely cheering for Tennessee next week as well.

Well this pisses me right off

They should call the certificate an NFT and charge $30,000 instead of $300

I'm very concerned about a guy his size already having back problems. Makes me think he's already on the downside of his career, and we'll need to be replacing him in 2-3 years.

I can tell you I am 100% sure I am NOT $18M/year happy with him. $18M/year?!?! That's more than we are paying Tre White! If Edmunds wants to stay, he needs to be happy with about $10M/year. I miiiiiiight be able to go to $12M. Maybe. But he needs to show out the rest of this season.

Yep, ran right into his face and never saw him coming.

True. They didn't help the rookie any with that play call, but we needed 13 yards so it was going to take some time no matter what. Even with that, I still expect Josh to assume he'll have to be on the move or get rid of it quickly. Anything but standing back there like The Return of Bledsoe.

Frankly, I put that on Josh to see that and adjust properly. Something he failed to do there, and on more than a few other plays. Josh's lack of presnap reads and lack of situational awareness has been a problem all season, and especially in our losses. Same thing for when Dawkins went out and it was 3rd and 13. You have a rookie, backup LT in the game on 3rd and Long. Josh MUST know that pressure will be coming and either step up/move around early, and/or get rid of the ball. ANYTHING but standing there, holding onto the ball, and taking a sack there which pushed us out of FG range. I love the dude, but he needs to start channeling way more Brady and get the ball out immediately or make the smart play and throw it away.
