Yea Denver! Tried to give it away and and couldn't do it...

Denver's coaching is so 1950s. They had ample chances to put this game away and totally froze up...

Weather should favor the offense. Advantage KC...

There are
alsomany times when he misses his block assignment.Edited. That's actually the biggest thing that stands out to me.
His blocking is incredibly inconsistant. He's outright whiffed or just run right by his man more times than I can count. Very hard to understand why, and it's blown up more than a few plays...

Then there's our #2. Kroft seems like a hella nice guy, but he's like a Beluga whale or something.
It would be great to have an Orca, but part of the reason for Kroft's Beluga-like behavior could be Daboll's individual game-planning for each opponent.
Some weeks, the TE match-up might be there to be exploited and other weeks it may be better to feature the WRs. So far, its been a heavy emphasis on the WRs, with less involvement of the TEs. That may be due to a lack of confidence in the group, but I think its game-planning and design as much as anything...

OK, I guess I disagree then. I don’t think it’s the top 2 problems, but I think it’s a real problem that cost us a lot in Tues game and has bitten us (but we overcame) in previous gamesA lot of things cost us the Titans game.

I am not a fan of the Bills Mafia moniker. And have always wondered how Mafia designates anything special about Buffalo.
Agreed.
I prefer Bills Yakuza myself...

The standing buffalo does not have a trademark.
“Bills Mafia is part of our family. It’s who we are,” said Ron Raccuia, executive vice president of Pegula Sports and Entertainment, which manages the Pegulas’ business interests, including the Bills. “I could see it as really part of our regular marks, the same way you see our charging Buffalo, the same way you see our standing Buffalo, our Bills word mark.”
Anyway, all the outrage is moot:
"Raccuia praised the work Reid and his co-founders have done over the years to build up the Bills Mafia identity. He said the Bills won’t stop 26 Shirts from selling its merchandise as a result of the team’s trademark application.
“It doesn’t change what they do at all,” Raccuia said. “They have their own version of the buffalo logo with 'Mafia.' We’ve told Del we want him to be a part of this. He’s integral to how this gets developed.
“Really, (Reid is) part of our Bills family,” he said. “We’re not leaving anyone behind. We’re actually trying to bring everyone together and bring it to a higher level.”

Just now, NoSaint said:
how would you feel if someone used a similar phrase derogatorily with the bills and/logo to sell Flags/towels to opposing fans at games?
if the bills don’t protect it legally here they could lose the right to stop it there.
Yep. I stand by my "very few business people on this board" comment. Which, frankly, I'm a bit surprised by...

The team owns the "Bills" word mark, so technically the use of "Bills Mafia" was a violation of that. They are just cleaning up that ommission by filing the new trademark application.

Steady on here, guys. As I understand, they're trademarking that particular logo.
But if they are trying to trademark the whole term and go after anyone else using it....it is a really poor look
They're also trademaking the term Bills Mafia in a separate application:

I dunno, it's a pretty cheap move by the Bills organization. Should Snyder have the right to trademark Football Team?
Bad analogy. "Washington Football Team" is a legal entity. "Football team" is not....

Amazing what one clunker of a game can do to the fan base...

Just like there are no Player brands without the Buffalo Bills. Should they start trademarking those?
Bills Never controlled Bills Mafia that was a grassroots fan thing. They didn’t have to protect anything. It wasn’t theirs
Lol. So if Pepsi Mafia or Bud Light Mafia catch on, those companies have no right to control their use either?
Not may business people on this board, I guess...

Gameday Thread 1st Half Week 6 Bills vs. Chiefs

Josh is throwing too much off his back foot--not stepping into the throws with a good, solid base. It's what helped improve his accuracy over the first four games, and is hurting it now.
And BTW, our defense sucks....
