Nothing changes until the ownership changes

True. Presently we don't have anyone on our roster that can do that.

How so? I said a good QB will keep putting good passes out there. A bad QB won't. Doesn't have to do with anything evening out.

This is all true, but every QB has drops. I remember Mrs. Brady getting into a snit with a fan after a SB over dropped passes. Do we give Fitz credit for a TD pass and comeback win vs Stealers? Do we give Roger Staubach an extra completion and TD credit for hitting Jackie Smith in the numbers in the EZ vs Stealers? Good QBs can recover from drops by throwing more good passes. We haven't had anyone that can do that in a very long time. Nasty Nate is more like Fitz. He'll put a good one in there from time to time, but you better catch it. It may be a while before the next one.

I think he meant Bad Bad Levi Brown.

In His senior year he was 71%. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/andrew-luck-1.html

Excuses Excuses Excuses. If you take away the drops and the bad blocking and penalties in the Eagles game Hotrod probably turns in a much better performance as well. As far as his accuracy goes, I haven't seen anything to convince me "he's accurate enough". As a senior at Pitt he threw for 60.46% including all the shovel passes. For college that's not very good. EJ threw for 67.96% his Senior year at Florida St. Although he does make some really nice passes sometimes, his accuracy overall is meager IMHO and not ready to start in the NFL (yet). He misses way too many easy drive killing passes. His footwork needs work too. When he steps in and delivers he does much better, but often throws unnecessarily off his back foot or. He's got a lot of work to do.

Hotrod made Sammy and Harvin look pretty darn good with the passes he delivered to them. He also hit Woods in the hands on quite a few passes some of which he dropped. Nasty Nate is just not accurate or consistent enough yet. Half of his passes look Canton worthy while other half look bust worthy. He's gonna get somebody killed out here. Against the Ravens I counted 3 EJ to JJ Watt passes the defender luckily didn't catch. Not to mention ducking and chucking into a crowd and just out and out dropping the football. He's got a lot of work to do.

I'm gonna disagree on this. The Beast was abysmal at short yardage (3rd or 4th down with 2 yards or less to get) that year. the problem was not the play call, but the execution. Russell Wilson tipped off Buttler. Buttler says they came out of the huddle and Wilson was signaling something to Baldwin (or whoever it was). And looked over again before the snap. he wouldn't be doing that if it was a run up the gut so he was looking for it. It was also horrible execution on the WRs. Hawks lost that one due to poor execution. Russell Wilson was like the dog that's bad at poker. Every time he gets a good hand, he wags his tail.

I agree. We have adequate talent on the field. We need leadership.

PLAYOFFS

Good call Kelly. This is the Crux of the biscuit and has been throughout the drought. Chris Brown had a good article about it when we hired Coach Gailey. Nothing has changed. Last year the difference between us and playoffs was Hotrod hitting Goodwin in EZ the play before the missed FG and getting into ez vs Hawks with 1st and Goal. Meanwhile Fish get in because they beat us and Clowns in OT. Maybe it's the coaching, the QB, not sure. Is it talent or a mental thing? Hopefully Coach McDermott has the answer. Gase didn't have to do that. He took a dumpster fire and turned them into a playoff team in 1 year. Wade Phillips has done it. Marty Schottehiemer did it several times. Bill Cowher was able to keep his job with the likes of Niel O'Donnell and Kordell Stewart.

EXACTLY. No way I'm giving up the division before we play our first game. We got plenty of other people around here to do that.

I missed it. I was working at McDonald's. I wasn't a Bills fan yet but had friends that were.

Quinn Early Quinn Early and Quinn often as I used to say. I have a Jersey. Wore it to a game thinking no one else will have a Quinn Early jersey on. A guy in the next section over had one on. Gotta love the Ralph.

We are a bit light in the waterbug department.

Can a WCO coach figure out how to throw in a few long ones to the fast guy if his QB is good at throwing said pass?

Maybe they decided to tank too?

Funny he would say that. After he left here he got 2 more HC gigs including a very good run with the Hawks where he is on thier ring of honor. If I look around the NFL now I see 3 HCs we once had. Lynn, Mularkey, and Marrone. Wade was able to get HC gigs after getting canned. Some graveyard . Sounds more like a boot camp to me.

Antowain Smith George Wilson Flutie - on most teams he wouldn't count, but around here he does.

Like most cities, Buffalo loves a winner more than they hate bozos for silly Star Spangled Banana shenanigans. If the wins were to start piling up, all is forgiven.

It's been a long time since we've had a NBA Champion in Western NY. http://www.nba.com/history/playoffs/19501951.html On second thought, maybe he should move them to Rochester.

Sorry Gug, still don't see it. If you want to tank, do you really keep the QB that led the 10th highest scoring offense last year? And pay him a lot money when could have easily let him walk? If you're tanking you start some schlub like Curtis Painter or Nasty Nate. Sure we traded Sammy and Darby. And while I hate the Sammy trade, we did get another good WR and good CB in return + picks. If we were tanking wouldn't have just traded them for picks? Why get talented players in return? We're trying to lose on purpose, right? If the "tank is on" why is McCoy still around? Jerry Hughes? Marcel Dareus? Micah Hyde? Charles Clay? Come on Gug, this doesn't even pass the sniff test.

Yeah, a 7th, WOW. Like i said, a give away. Other teams keep 4 QBs just in case. No one could predict one QB slipping on a mat and another bung up his knee in PS either. Who would ever think anyone could get injured playing football?
