    The place I have a genuine concern about, and I think this will go a long way in determining the game's outcome, is our cornerbacks. The Chiefs' receiving core puts pressure on the best D-backs. Our guys have played well since Tre's injury, but they have not played anything close to the quality of what they will be up against on Sunday; this will be the first real test. Will they hold up? The one thing they do have is two of the best Safeties in the league to help cover up for other deficiencies. Hyde and Poyer will need to be at their best.

    This is my biggest concern as well. But often what happens is these games is not at all what we expect. It could turn on the defense's ability to handle the running game, for all I know.

  2. My most immediate question is how Dane Jackson will hold up against those KC perimeter receivers. He's been vulnerable to double moves among other things.

     

    If you compare the Bills D now to the Bills D in the game earlier this season, we were without Matt Milano then but had Tre'davious White. Now we're without White but have Milano back. If I had to choose, I'd rather have White than Milano.

     

    On the other hand, the Bills D in general has been playing well lately. It's going to be a toss-up, I think, with the weight on the offense to score whenever they have the ball, TDs instead of field goals, and not turn the ball over.

  3. . . . for release from Sean McDermott's head.

     

    The long-time New England Patriots coach seeks refugee status in some more favorable state, citing cruel and inhumane treatment by the Buffalo Bills' headman. 

     

    "I can't take it anymore," Belichick was quoted as saying. "I mean, it's too cold in there. We're down 40-10 in the fourth and the SOB fakes a run and throws for the end zone. I need to get out of here."

     

    Queried about where he might like to relocate to, Belichick suggested he might be more at home in the heads of Adam Gase or Jennifer Lawrence.

    Doesn’t seem to ever have to throw with much anticipation so he is impossible to evaluate…he is almost always hitting a receiver on a wide open drag or some other route 5-10 yards downfield.  ‘ He’s doing a good job with what he is asked to do ‘ was just about the most positive thing you could say about him up until some critical afc tilts late in the season where he couldn’t even play at that level.  

     

    not sure what the pats saw in him…I mean maybe I’m wrong belichick’s football knowledge far surpasses mine 😂 but it kind of felt like they threw an early pick away just to be kinda sorta competitive in the short term.  They may beat us I mean anything can happen in a single game playoff setup…but there’s almost no chance they string together 4 wins in a row against these playoff caliber teams.  I feel like a qb drafted in the mid to late rounds would be perfectly capable of what mac has been asked to do this season so it is a bit of a head scratcher.  Josh was a huge risk sure…but the upside/potential was clear. 
     

     

    I am in n o way shape or form a Pats sympathizer but from what I've seen he makes some pretty good throws, with anticipation and accuracy. His arm is nothing special but he seems pretty smart and relatively composed for a rookie.

     

    I know they are giving him game plans with training wheels on them, but I would not say that this point he can't become a good quarterback.

  5. I am not so on board with what seems to be his resentment of younger people becoming coaches--at least I don't in principle think just because a person is young they can't be or don't deserve to be a head coach.

     

    On the other hand, I very much agree with what he says about successful coaching requiring skill at interpersonal interactions with the players. If you ignore the human interactions that are part of coaching, you can be brilliant at the theoretical aspects and still fail.  To some degree a good coach must be a teacher, and teachers who completely disregard the interpersonal side of teaching are not likely to succeed long term.

    I have been watching NFLN all morning/all week, and I am curious, do the Bills have a game this weekend?  I know that the Falcons are not exactly a stout opponent, but damn, we are close to winning the division for the second year in a row and getting no love.

    I prefer it if they don't talk about the Bills at all. Let them spend their time puffing up the Chiefs and whoever else is the Flavor of the Month.

    Not if we want the division. Have to beat the Falcons and Jets. Unless their is a major upset the Pats are beating the Jags. The Dolphins game is a toss up but why take a chance. The Bills control their own destiny so they need to get two wins and win the division in B2B years.

    Yes, of course. I want the Bills to win out and take the division, have at least one home playoff game. 

     

    What surprised me was that, even if the Bills beat the Falcons, they could still completely miss the playoffs if those rather simple conditions I outlined came to pass.

    Wait, you said we are 100% out if we lose, but all kinds of other things have to happen. That does not sound like 100% to me. 

    Here's another way to say it:

     

    IF...

     

    1) the Chargers and the Ravens win out

    2) the Patriots beat the Dolphins 

    3) the Colts and Bengals win at least one of their last two games.

     

    THEN:

     

    The Bills losing to the Jets puts them out of the playoffs 100% of the time, no matter if they beat the Falcons and no matter what else happens to any other teams in any other games.

     

    I hope that makes it clear.

    So what you meant to say was if the Bills beat the Falcons and lose to the Jets, there's a 100% chance that there's at most a 3% chance of the Bills missing the playoffs?

    I'm sure that's exactly what I should have meant to say if I had meant to say what you think I should have said. How could I have been so purblind?

    I am not trying to be difficult, but you challenged the reading skills of people on this board, and all I am pointing out is that your writing is not clear.  I understand what you are trying to say, but given your prose and the title of the topic, I am merely suggesting you were less than clear.  No big deal.  Sorry if I was being a jerk.

    Apology accepted. Peace.

    Perhaps because you wrote if the Bills beat Atlanta but lose to the Jets, "they are 100% going to miss the playoffs."  But, of course, that original declaratory sentence is completely wrong.  If they beat Atlanta and lose to the Jets, there is only about a 10% chance they will not make the playoffs because of the conditions precedent you explain after the initial 100% declaration.  Not the clearest prose. 

    The phrase you quote is preceded by "there are several scenarios where ...", which makes the phrase you quote conditional.

     

    It's really classic for you to misquote me and then tell me I'm completely wrong. Don't be an ass.

    I was just going to post that if the Bills beat Falcons and Rams beat Ravens and Bills are in.

    For pity's sake, the first condition I name is, "The Ravens and Chargers have to win both of their remaining games."

     

    Nobody can read anymore. I taught English for more than forty years. Why did I bother?
