  1. They are also going to fine teams via monetary measures or loss of draft picks if they conduct unprofessional interviews with prospects.  That should be interesting...some of the questions teams have asked the prospects during interviews have just been outrageous.  Surprised someone hasn't gotten punched in the face over it.  They would have deserved it.

    When they win the Super Bowl, I presume you already have your criticism ready to go?

     

    I don't think that is happening this year. Kinda expecting them to lose in the divisional round...and follow the same pattern the 88-89-90 Bills followed...

     

    AFCG loss -> Divisional Round Loss -> Super Bowl(Hopefully they break the trend there and win)

  3. They have not been mentally prepared to take every teams best shot each week and ramp up the intensity. Kelly talked about how that was an issue with the Bills in 1989 after getting to the AFC Championship in 1988. They went from 12-4 to 9-7 and that was a big reason why he said...

     

    This Bills team seems to be following suit.

  4. Based on the Expected win/loss totals, the Bills should be 12.2-3.8...obviously can't have a fraction of a win or loss so 12-4 would the rounding points...

     

    Which would be good for first overall seed right now...frustrating to be in this position when they had so many winnable games they should have taken care of business in.

    I disagree. Everyone who has played for Belichick, for example, talks about how he teaches defense. Yes, some of that is scheme, but getting the players to understand who goes where and why is crucial. You're either learning or you're forgetting when it comes to the NFL. 

     

    Rex Ryan is a defensive genius, but his defenses are so complicated that without veterans it doesn't work because he isn't good at teaching the scheme.

     

    The best coaches in the NFL are teachers. It's said so often it's a cliche at this point. 

     

    Nobody is better at taking low drafted or undrafted players on defense and turning them into stars. JC Jackson is going to be set for life in large part thanks to Belichick

    Lol. Sunday’s game was certainly cold but “heavy” snow? No. It was snowing steadily during the morning yes (but still wasn’t accumulating much at all. By game time it was pretty light. 
     

    If Sunday’s snow was “heavy,” what was the Bills-Colts game in 2017? Ultra heavy? Super duper heavy? Come on man.

     

    My thoughts exactly...for someone who has lived here their while life, I find it crazy he would consider that heavy snow. Maybe he lives in the north towns where they are typically spared the brunt of most of the snowfall.

    No.  The weather this season has sucked.  


    Cardinals game?  Epically bad.   Jets/Raiders in 92/93?  Effing COLD.   Bills falcons 92? Downpour. 

     

    Cardinals game was when the punter was hitting 10 and 12 yard punts into the wind that either went directly out of bounds or got caught up in the wind and went backwards

    Just talked to a guy i know who is pretty looped in with Chicago sports and has a few connections) and he believes from recent reports/discussions that dungy is going to be hired as Director of Football Ops, Louis Riddick as GM, and Leslie Frazier as HC. He isn’t 100% convinced they get rid of Ryan pace but that he may get put in a different role. I could see this happening and frazier could hire an OC (Jim Caldwell, who he worked with in Indy?) to take care of that side. I like the fit for him and I think the bears fan base would love it. 

     

    Frazier is about to do the SoFi money dance.

    This is not a post to complain about our weather as much as just the fact I can't remember a season with so many games regularly played in legitimately crappy conditions. Figure:

     

    Steelers: Fine day 

    Washington: Beautiful Day

    Texas: Downpour

    Dolphins: Overcast some rain

    Colts: Cold downpour

    Patriots: Gale force winds with snow 

    Panthers: Snow

    Falcons: Heavy Snow & Cold

    Jets: Snow possible Sleet/Rain

     

    Does anyone remember a season that had as many bad weather weeks?

     

    Bro...if you thought the Falcons game was heavy snow, I'm not sure what to tell you.

     

    Those were flurries.

     

    If you want to see heavy snow, be in Buffalo Wednesday night into Thursday when we get 12-18 inches.

    I feel much better about McDermott than I did a few weeks ago but the question remains whether or not he's truly a great coach or just a solid one.

     

    In a few weeks both McDermott and Allen have a chance to change narratives and write the next chapter of their respective legacies.

     

     

    Solid coaches win Super Bowls with great QBs

    I can't imagine they'll slot Buffalo in a Monday night slot in the middle of January. The temp that night is supposed to be 17 degrees and moderately windy. That's just cruel to everyone involved.

     

    But they would in Green Bay where it's much colder on average?

     

    GB likely is the one seed and won't play but that likely is not a consideration....it's not like most of these other places are warm.

    We never worried about weather in the Kelly/Marv era.  We actually welcomed bad weather.  

     

    It just shows how much the game has changed, and how differently the two Bills teams are built.    The "If its too tough for them its just right for us" mentality is gone.  

     

    Daboll better have a run game, with a run package, in the game plan.  Not only for this week but for next week as well.  We need to 

    have a more diverse attack and not depend on Allen passes and Allen runs for 90 % of our yards. 

     

     

     

     

    Daboll just needs to do the Money Dance in the booth

  13. Neither QB was good but at least Ben has an excuse of being ancient

    Yeah, let's demonize him for the rest of his life because of one mistake.

    Harris isn't good. He's incredibly slow. He's not what the Bills need at all. Watching him try to gain the edge and make it to the endzone on that final play was painful.

     

    Dude runs a 4.45 40...that's not slow

    On side kick did not make sense with two time outs.  Kick it deep.  Get the stops and use the time outs.   Force a punt and get one try for a throw to the end zone.  

     

    And if they did that and kicked it deep and the Steelers get a first down, you'd have said why didn't they onside kick.

    No denying that the OL has opened more holes for the running game since Bates stepped in.   Keep playing him if he is healthy to go.  

     

    Still trying to figure out why McD refused to allow him to play for so long.
