just FYI, Robert Foster rarely saw the field at Alabama. That was purely a Dabol's Choice. Mark my words though, Levi Wallace will be a success here. He's been the underdog his whole life but works harder than anybody and has the desire to succeed that's so rare on the Bills roster

if only the bills had a bona fide NFL qb on their roster For Saban to have success he has to have near complete control. He didn't have anything like that in Miami.. He calls at the shots in Alabama though and is the best recruiter they've ever had

the funniest thing about your post is the bills scoring 30+ points. I'm not sure they could do that against an empty field

i also think there's something to be said for coaching and scheme. Alabama has Buffalo beat by a mile in those to categories, even if the adult NFL players outclass the young college players physically. The Bills appear to be so indifferent to the actual game of football that outside of some notion of pride, im not sure they even show up emotionally for the hypothetical game against Alabama, especially if it's played in T Town I agree that the Bills ultimately win the game, but let's not pretend that this group who are just mailing it in each week, led by a clapping halfwit, are some unassailable force against the best college team in the country

it'll be like the Buffalo-SF game from 92 where there were no punts, but in this case because it'll be a turnover every drive

if peterman keeps up his pattern, it'll be 14-3 jets without their O ever hitting the field.

see, you're halfway there

we could trade all of our receivers to them to play DB, they drop everything

lol, i am trading texts with a buddy of mine who is a huge jets fan, saying pretty much the same thing. Darnold has been getting killed and even the chance of him losing to the Bills (who may benefit from recent rule changes in the NFL allowing for the forward pass) would be too much to bear

make other, more interesting, plans for Sunday, like perhaps curling your hair or watching paint dry

since our D is on the field like 80% of any given game, so yeah, it makes complete sense to give it help since the offense barely even sees the field, why invest in it. Hello I am a big dumb idiot and I like to clap when my team gets penalties against them

it would be my first question in interviewing perspective coaches, "What week of the NFL season do you think it generally starts to snow in Buffalo?" and if they answer anything lower than 15, push the eject button under the desk. the second question would be "do you believe it's possible to throw a regulation football when it is below 32 degrees?"

yup, leadership hires people who have never actually been to Buffalo and can only muster images of the blizzard of 77, so they come in with an unshakable notion that the only way to win in Buffalo is with a Neanderthal offense centered around 1 yard and a cloud of dust

Nobody on the team is going to work harder than Wallace. This is a good move.

i said it in another thread but the sort of offensive innovation that I'd expect from McDermott is a multiple punter formation, that comes in on 3rd down

also, more controversy around why the Bills didn't sign Colin Kaepernick. The Bills front office is sure to handle this with grace and aplomb, leaving all feeling satisfied that the decision was reached in an organic fashion

more punting on 4th and inches at the other team's 40 yard line. no, scratch that, I want them to punt on 3rd down. maybe when bojorkez or whatever comes back they can employ multiple punter formations, it's the exact sort of offensive innovation that i'd expect by McMoron i also want to see more vigorous clapping after every penalty and negative play. I'm yearning for it in fact more street free agents. i mean they could do worse, like they are currently. don't tell me there aren't hundreds if not thousands of al bundys and uncle ricos in WNY that would give anything to have one more shot. maybe get that rudy guy from notre dame, that would be a great story

The turd is not a metaphor

Yeah, I mean, the Bills are the Graveyard of Quarterbacks. We could have the lovechild of Joe Montana and Tom Brady at QB and Coach Clappy McIdiot would get extra clever and put a bunch of high school players around him just to show the league how much smarter he is than everyone else. I know nobody wants to hear this but watch the draft next year, I will virtually guarantee that with our top pick we go either DL or a high motor project LB, or a CB. I just dont think this regime has the mindset to 'waste' high draft picks on O. also, in FA, we'll absolutely find another 3 or 4 trent murphys to keep the trainers busy to make sure we soak up the spare cap money, without actually making the team better

agreed! also, i am just generally sick and tired of the Bills having a terrible O. When is the last time the Bills O struck fear into anyone? What, Bledsoe's first 5 games? Kids born that year are getting their drivers licenses this year. Why can't the Bills field a competent O?

agreed on all counts. The pessimist in me looks at the remaining schedule and only sees more bad news. Next week will be a get-well game for the Jets, and on down the line. Sure, the Bills could show up to play on any given sunday, maybe forget all the culture/process nonsense that our big dumb idiot coach is forcing down their throats, get some lucky bounces and/or mercy from the refs and squeeze out a win, but the much more likely scenario is the one where the bills continue to spiral downward, perhaps to break all time futility records? it certainly seems within reach, and dovetails nicely with what we've seen of the process so far!

https://www.footballdb.com/stats/penalties.html yeah, another site that I just closed the tab for showed trending too, which the Bills, if they keep up the last 3 games performance, will be league leading in penalties in another game or two. The net is, they're undisciplined, and getting more undisciplined as the season goes on, which again, is indicative of coaching, and/or a team that has given up. Let me blow your mind here for a moment, what if the process, is in fact fundamentally flawed, and if followed close to plan, actually makes the Bills worse?

we're 3rd worst in the league for penalties, so i'm not sure the math works on that, but yeah, it's not as bad as under rex, in the same analogized fashion that technically hitler killed fewer people than stalin

I always enjoy reading your post mortem game analysis, but have to quibble with you here. This team has been sloppy as hell all season. The drive killing penalties are more reliable than completed forward passes at this point, all of which is 100% on coaching. Obviously The Clapping Idiot has not made discipline a priority, and I think now it's safe to assume that discipline isn't part of the "culture" he's trying to build at one bills drive, otherwise we'd see players getting benched for their junior league antics, but instead we get a big dumb idiot clapping on the sidelines when instead of a 1st down, we get 3rd and 20

Just the mere fact is probably enough to defeat the bills
