It was not even forecasted tho...when I looked then, temps were supposed to be in the low 20s

Well, this month it does...the other months we were well above normal. In fact, 2024 shattered the record for warmest year in Buffalo history at 53.0 degrees almost a full degree above 2012's previous record of 52.1. There is only one other year on record at 52 or higher besides those two and it was 52.0 To break an average temperature record over the course of a year by that much is almost unheard of and is absurd. But this month it looks like the party is coming to an end...had 13 months straight of above normal temps(many of them multiple degrees above normal) but it looks like this one will not be joining them unless we have a major warm up the last 10 days or so...

OP has had between 7-10 feet of snow already this year, what are you talking about? Brutal cold has nothing to do with the lake being open or not...is this even a serious post? It makes no sense.

McCarthy cannot get fired, he is not under contract for next year. If he doesn't reach an agreement with the Cowboys, he will be free to sign with another team. Word around the league is that McCarthy is the one who might be looking to leave while Jones wants him back. Ross just released a statement last night that both he and Grier, the GM will be back next year. So your crazy feeling is not going to come to fruition. Very poor at getting them prepared and ready to p[lay at the start of the season. Burrow is the worst week 1 QB in the history of the NFL, he has been absolutely abysmal many of those games. Team is constantly staring at a 1-3 or 0-4 hole after the first month. That falls on coaching.

Yeah, seasonably cold weather for this time of year although much of the last few years has seen winter not really exist much of the time with temps in the 40s and 50s. Basically, a typical January day.

Same...remember it was quiet as a pindrop when Kelly had to leave the game...nobody said it but I think most of us were thinking that might be the last time we ever saw him play and we were right.

I think it will be easier than we think.

58% completion rate, 14 TDs, 19 INTs. The team averaged under 20 points a game. They were on their last legs.

No...that was at the end of the line for aging vets. Allen is in his prime.

Last game against the Ravens

Someone also needs to point out that his stats are essentially an AVERAGE JA season over the last 4 years of 5,022 yards and 44 TDs.

Steelers secondary was really banged up the second meeting...3/4 of them were out. If they are missing Flowers and they have a healthy secondary, they can likely shut down Henry running and force Lamar into a dropback game against them.

Now the question is...is the Steelers secondary healthy enough that they can trust it to play man coverage to take Henry out of the mix? Last game 3/4 of the secondary was out and it showed.

Literally any sports bar or inside the airport which will likely have plenty of establishments there showing it? Then again...at 10am, not sure how many would be open 😂

The fact McD would sit down with a person who effectively tried to do a character assassination piece on him a year or two ago speaks volumes to who he is, IMO. More than anything, I think it shows that McD, much like many of these players want to win for us and this city so badly that it honestly might be putting too much pressure on themselves because they may care too much...I know it sounds weird, but that is a real thing. This coach didn’t grow up in Buffalo but knows he’s become a Buffalonian to his core. He takes it one step further. McDermott, a devout Christian, believes he was placed in this position as the team’s head coach for a “greater purpose.” Imagining what a championship could do — for everyone — he pauses. He gets emotional. “I bleed for that. I bleed for that win,” says McDermott, pointing to his chest. “And that’s real. What I want for people, for these fans, is for the true light to be shown on what this place really is.” https://www.golongtd.com/p/i-bleed-for-that-win-our-1-on-1-with

At his healthy best all season, he is no real threat to the Bills. Typically, he will be injured for half the season and they will go of the rails.

I would take the interview for experience even if he has no intention of going there. Experience for what is going to happen in situations where you WANT the job is invaluable and allows you to prepare better.

He is too busy with the Chiefs.

My biggest fear is they would hire Brady since he has a great relationship with Burrow and Chase already.

Should have kept their money and stayed at home.

Hamlin might be the safe choice, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Bishop if we play Baltimore...he allows the Bills to do more exotic stuff and play Cover 3, Cover 6 more and play down in the box more as another LB but still get deep when they want to disguise coverages from that position, something Hamlin simply doesn't have the foot speed to do. Last Jets game was a great example of how they can play different coverages with him in the game than they can with Hamlin in there.

That's more on Taylor, Burrow and the offense...they are typically brutal starting the year. Burrow might be the worst week 1 QB in NFL history. They are typically trying to dig themselves out of a hole every year from the first month. Just becomes too much when injuries hit and you have other teams in the conference playing well.

No idea how Pedersen lasted til the end of the year

Maybe McD should hire him? His defenses got better in the postseason, not worse.

God help them if they plan man coverage against us. Allen will eat them alive with his legs.
