My point is, the question sucked when I asked it originally. We dont need duplicate dumb ideas! But no offense to the other OPs. It is a topic worth discussing.

This is pretty much a copy of this thread: Which was a copy of my thread:

Unfortunately, if you dont want to stand for most of (or the entire) game, your best bet is Club seats. Maybe the Family Section as well. Other than that, it seems the entire stadium stands for pretty much the entire game, except for long time outs.

It's a factor. But we saw the Patriots utilize a short, quick passing game in replacement of a running game for YEARS. It can be done. We aren't even trying it. Which is weird considering Daboll was with the Pats during that time.

I dont know how much I can agree with this. At least the 99% part. Bad protection and lack of run game are certainly big factors. But his insistence of playing hero ball and going deep is on him, and also contributes to the "bad protection" factor. Get the ball out quick. We are running the Patriots playbook. We KNOW those quick passes to Welker/Edelman/BEASLEY exist. They used them in lieu of a run game for years. Short pass, ball out QUICK. As the article shows, even when he makes short passes, he is holding it for 3 seconds and only making the short pass as a dump off. Usually after staring down the receiver as well.

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
