On ESPNU tonight they had a high school game on. Bothell WA vs a team from CO. On Bothells first play, they ran a double reverse flea flicker and completed a pass for 30 yards. I liked the idea someone said about screen passes. I wish Coach Dennison would go back and study and implement some of those Chan Gailey screens.

Like tangoing, It takes 2 to complete a pass.

Thanks for the education. I always thought a buffalo looked like a bIson. If the logo was of an American Buffalo, it would be a funky logo that's for sure. If you do an internet search for Buffalo, you get pictures of both. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=buffalo&t=hd&iax=1&ia=images

This reminds me of something my brother a Cowboys fan once told me. Buffalo Bill WAS a Cowboy.

I think this keep it close and try to steal it in end Dick Jauron philosophy is especially dumb for a team like the Bills. Late in the game when we need to score or stop a score, some mysterious flag will appear. We've seen it many times. Happened Sunday with the Holmes alleged push off. We're not going to get the calls. Think of Sherman holding Woods or whoever it was in the EZ last year. The glamour teams like Patsies**, Hawks, Raiders etc. Will get them. Once we get to where we win consistent, we'll probably get them too.

Watching Sammy score 2 TDs and making great catches he should be making for us brought 2 words over and over to my mind. STUPID BILLS STUPID BILLS STUPID BILLS STUPID BILLS STUPID BILLS Sammy is an out and out stud. You have to have studs to win. Dumping him for a CB and 2nd round draft pick still amazes me to this day and probably always will. Sort of like the dump Flutie to keep RJ fiasco. Sure he would have been expensive. You get what you pay for. I give the Rams credit. You need to surround a young or average QB with good WRs that can catch the football. Woods, Kupp, and Sammy would at the very worst be #2 for us. Sammy obviously would be 1. IMHO WR is the second most important position after QB and should he treated as such as opposed to how we've dealt with it over the years.

I'm gonna be at that game and now am freakin' really looking forward to it even more now. I hope they do script Ohio. Terry dotting the I would be sweet. I played in the North Texas State University Fighting Mean Green Band and we were the BEST! But Ohio State will do. The band I play in now plays French National Defile which is the march they do script Ohio to. Thanks for posting this. Go BILLS !!

Why doesn't any Buffalo team just go with Buffalo Buffalos? They get close with Bills and Bisons and Bulls. Somebody is over thinking this.

It was and the whole team showed up! A: Just one, unless it's a blow out. Then the whole team shows up.

I know, but it's dumb. A better one after the 2nd and 3rd SB was: Q: How many Bills does it take to change a flat tire? A:

Who says? Do you think if they go deep in the playoffs this year that they'll want to dump their QB? The Ravens cut their QB after they won the SB so I suppose anything is possible.

So if we scored 10 points and won we could never score any more points in any more games? I think it would have been AWESOME if we won 10 points and all. The Bills need to learn how to win close games at the end. The NFL is all about close games. The defending champs had 5 games decided by TD or less and the won 4 of them. The Fish had 10 of which they won 8. Meanwhile, we had 7 of which we lost 5. That's the difference between a playoff and non layoff team. Winning the close games. We need to learn how to do that. Winning a close one like that would have instilled confidence for the next one. As it is now, it often feels like when it's close at the end we start looking for the next show to drop. It's in large part a confidence and belief thing. BILLIEVE for real.

Coach McDermott needs to improve on game management some still. At the end of the 1st half with around 1:00 to pay, the Panthers had 3rd and 11. Cam threw a pass to a RB and we stopped them short of the sticks. But, there was a penalty on the play. Instead of declining it and forcing a punt, he took the penalty. (They were not in FG range.) The Panthers ran another play and punted. THEN he calls a timeout with :12 to play and Hotrod takes a knee. Odd. Only his second game, but still not good. Seeing how well we did the 2:00 at the end of the game, who knows, we may have been able to get points.

SPeak for yourself pal. Go BILLS !!!

They did go to the AFC Championship in 2005 with Plummer as the man under.

I'm calling BS on this one. The Bills belonged in THE Bowl 4 times. Didn't win, but they certainly belonged.

If your offense sputters and your team losses a lot of games as a result like Sunday, there ain't gonna be no long term for him.

We got a first down on a pass into tight coverage over the middle. I didn't think Hotrod ever did that.

I wish on plays like this he would step up and keep looking and throw. Pass blocking looked to be decent on that play.

Agreed. It would be nice if we could find a QB that could put the football on the receivers hands. Yeah. Nice block by #79.

A lie travels all the way around the world before the truth even gets it's pants on.

I disagree. Most smart football coaches will roll with a really good QB for as long as they can. Only on TBD are fans clamoring to get the untested rook into real games. They make the playoffs every year and Alex is a big part of it. This would get a Billesque move (dumping Flutie to keep RJ) which probably means other teams are too smart to do that. But us getting Alex as our starting QB next year works for me!

I still like this one.

This has been my theory on the Russia "hacking" the election from the beginning. They didn't get us by hacking into emails or voting machines or whatever. They snookered us with our own invention, FakeBook. People were shocked on election day because Mark Zuckerberg had been feeding them feel good articles about how awesome Hillary is and how Trump is a racist/sexist/homophobe/xenphobe for a year and a half. So did their echo bubble "friends". Of course, they used this and some ingenuity to their advantage. It's not illegal or underhanded, it's just how FakeBook works. I don't do social media but I have a very smart friend who is a FakeBook addict. During the run up to the election I was told several times that there were users on FakeBook that had just joined and had no followers that were spreading fake stuff. My friend would call them out and they'd go away. It was obvious to some FakeBook users what was going on. But most FakeBook users are sheeple who believe what all their friends do. A major concern I have now is that Congress will pass laws on what is fake news. Or, that Mark Zuckerberg will be the proprieter of what is fit to post or not based on his politics.

Maybe it's my misunderstanding of the game, but I thought winners were determined by POINT SCORED. Not on yards or TOP etc. Catch the freakin' football when it hits your hands. It's not that complicated. Actually what we have seen many times before is the Bills being in position to win IF someone steps up and makes the play, but they don't. Sunday was a shining example. A win would have told me that Coach McDermott had indeed changed the "culture" and "love" was paying off. Instead we just got another Chan Gailey/Dick Jauron style loss. Blowing it at the end had been the constant in the drought and is what has kept us out of playoffs. Fix that, and everything else will look a lot better.
