  1. You just can't have a ST'er making that much $ knowing that they offer nothing in terms of depth to the team.  

     

    Yes, it's nice to have those guys but they become a luxury when you have to start paying your star QB

     

    Tyler Matakevich can wave goodbye too

  2. Can you imagine if the Coach had still been doing radio during the Jauron or Marrone eras?

     

    On the plus side, if Ralph actually was listening to WGR, he might have fired Jauron "it's hard to win in the NFL" much earlier

     

    Marrone might have actually tried to instigate a fistfight with the Coach

     

    And Rex would have just hung out with him at the Old Country Buffet

  3. I've kept the ticket stub in my wallet for most of the past 30 years.  It's in significantly less than pristine condition...

     

    It is a great conversation piece though and I love to have it handy when I meet folks in bars or tailgating.

     

    And to this day, it's still the loudest, craziest crowd I've ever been a part of

  4. The goal of this game is to outscore your opponents.  

     

    With an elite level QB like Allen, I want elite level skill players surrounding him

     

    Until we get a defensive coaching staff that can actually scheme like Spagnuolo, it's not the right use of resources to surround them with top draft picks.  Let them make do with what we have and it might just be good enough

     

    But we can't keep scoring 10, 20 points in these clutch playoff games against top QB's and expect to ever get a ring

     

  5. People can talk all they want about injuries, coaching, depth, etc

     

    If you've been watching the WWNFL the past few years, it basically comes down to this:

     

    If the league wants your team to win, if it boosts ratings, and makes them $$, then your team will win

     

    I've resigned myself to this fact, and it makes the inevitable failures and screw jobs from the league that much easier to handle personally.

    Mayfield has proven he's a pretty good QB. Why the Browns got rid of him remains a mystery to me. He was playing with a significant injury his final year there and gutted it out. The year before, he was good. And he was good this year. Almost rallied to beat the Bills after being down by a lot.

     

    It shouldn't be a mystery - he behaved like an arrogant punk and not worthy of a second contract.

     

    Would you want the Bills to pay that guy if we had drafted him?

  7. This is freaking hilarious and only the Cowboys would even consider a sloppy, disorganized, lazy coach like Rex

     

    Like a guy who's been mailing it in on TV for the last 7 seasons, at 61 years of age, is all of a sudden gonna start putting in 18 hour days to run a defense?

     

    Let's go get a f***ing snack!

  8. 37-15 since my first game in 1991 (playoff victory vs KC)

     

    6-0 this year, with the oddity of Kyle Allen making an appearance in each game

     

    Even though I live in Harrisburg PA, now that my kids are grown, I try to get up to Orchard Park as much as I can, plus hit road games in my geographic area (Baltimore, DC, etc)

    Rapp is a very underrated injury, especially with Benford out.  May need to use Neal again for that big nickel.

     

    Neal got zero snaps on defense the last game. 

    We've seen him try and guard Kelce in the past... lot's of holding calls is about it

  10. I don't think that anybody in Miami's front office, including the owner, has the stones to make the difficult and painful decision here

     

    Tua is never going to be more than he is right now.  He doesn't have the physical tools or leadership abilities to be what Josh Allen & Patrick Mahomes are today

     

    He's just good enough to keep winning in September & October and in warm weather - when conditions are right and he can play in rhythm with talented teammates

     

    But even though this franchise is probably scared to death of not having a high performing QB, the right move is to trade him now, rip off the band-aid of other high $ contracts and start over

     

    But they'll never do it, and I for one am thrilled...

  11. I almost don't ever want to see another snap out of shotgun the rest of the year

     

    Yes - I get that situations sometimes warrant that formation.  

     

    But we are so much more unpredictable and explosive on offense when we can run from traditional formations and hit play-action

     

    Let's see if Brady agrees

    So historically under McD/Frazier the pass rush has been... anemic. 

     

    Between 2017 and 2022 our sack totals finished as: 27 (yikes!), 36, 44, 38, 42, 40

     

    We now sit currently at 39, good for second in the league behind only the Ravens, with still six games to go. 

     

    Individually, Leonard Floyd has been a phenom. One of my fave off-season moves of the McBeane regime, he's sitting with 9.5 on the season after last night's sack banquet. 

     

    Fun fact: no Bills player has recorded 10 or more sacks since this regime took over. Closest was Jordan Philips in 2018 who finished with, coincidentally, 9.5

     

    Of all the criticisms McD might face lately, there's no doubt he has definitely elevated the pass rush since taking over coordinator duties from Frazier. Might we finally have a double-digit sack artist under this regime? No matter how you slice it, the defense is getting to the QB better than they have in over half a decade. It's great to see! 

     

    I'm fascinated - averaging 40 sacks per year for the previous 5 seasons is "anemic"???

     

    IIRC we have also trended near the top of the league in pressures and/or pass rush win rate as well

     

    McDermott's defenses certainly have had their share of challenges, especially in big spots.  

    But I wouldn't necessarily characterize getting sacks as one of them
