Talk about being a sissy

 

That dude is an example of what is wrong with today's generation

 

If things are tough...or if it hurts your feelings...the solution is to cancel it altogether. 

This causes one to pose a rhetorical question..

Can a snowflake complain about the concept of snowy weather and its implications on an NFL game?

 

My guess is Mr Wittyngham, a Miami native and grad of THE U, has never scraped a windshield or bought "Blue Windshield Washer" for his car.  Hope he comes to the game tomorrow - he will be easily spotted in the lots scraping his windshield with his credit card with no gloves while sporting a Dolphins Coral and Aqua hoodie.

I'm not sure where I have gone wrong as a father...my 11 year old daughter just told me that her biggest Christmas wish is that the Bills lose to the Patriots Week 17 and they miss the playoffs.  Do I have the right to disown her?? 😂

 

Yes, you do. :)

A precedent was certainly set…the question is whether it will apply only when there is six feet of snow, or whether it might be applied in lesser cases, as well.  

2 times in 60 years is hardly a precedent 

 

if this happened by yearly maybe it’s a thing

Are you kidding me man? It was a huge advantage not having to play that Browns team in the snow. That's why the Bills org was practically begging the NFL to move the game

The bills didn’t beg anybody

I'm in Rochester, so I'm only seeing what's online, but arnt they saying 24 inches? If it's only a foot, I'd agree they won't change it 

From what I see they are saying 24" between Friday night and Monday morning. Not all at once.

I'm pretty sure you can leave children at the fire station. No questions asked.

While I would understand the disappointment, they have to take fan safety into account also. I can't even imagine trying to leave the stadium Saturday night if it's as bas as they're saying. 

 

Step, as memorable and as fun it would be, yeah, I would not want to be there.  Those days are so behind me, and that is not only a physical safety issue, but man, anxiety inducing, too.

there’s no way it’s getting postponed.  None.

 

 

RA, regardless of anything that might outwardly say the NFL wants this snow game, in primetime, between these two teams to happen so. badly.  

 

Yeah, I hear ya.

The Chargers have been without Keenan Allen for 7.5 games, Mike Williams for 4 games and . 

 

You do see a lot of check downs in their games, they lean on Ekeler a lot to run after catch. 

 

But Palmer and Carter have stepped up at times. 

 

Their bar is right around 23 points a game, regardless if Herbert goes above 300-yards. 

 

I will be watching to see if they can crank it up to 30 these last four games. 

 

 

I agree with a lot of things in this post regarding the Bills offense. 

 

1. The RT is bad. And because he gets beat almost immediately every other play, Josh is on the move constantly. 

 

2. The sporadic run game. Agree, and we don't have an OC who sticks with it in any manner for 4-quarters. Dorsey abandons the run. Cook's carries/touches go up and down every game. You'll have a 16-yard Singletary run, and then he'll get the ball 4 times the rest of the game as well. He's passing when he should be draining the clock. His answers about balance make no sense. Of course when he is talking about balance, it's not 50/50. But there is no commitment to run the ball. He, at least, recognizes the value of Josh Allen designed runs, and has not take them out of the offense. 

 

3. In terms of the pass catchers:  

Gabe Davis - It looks like he runs two routes - the go, and the deep comeback along the sideline. Before Patrick Peterson said anything, that's what I was noticing as well. That said, I thought he was going to translate this year. Unless we're always going to get Playoff Gabe when it counts, you're getting 3 catches for 35 yards otherwise. 

 

Dawson Knox - I wonder if he should be the 2nd option in the pass offense. How long can you wait for Gabe? Despite the screen shots showing him open, he doesn't get the ball.

 

Isaiah McKenzie - I was wrong on him. Thought he could bring more speed to the offense. He's shown that he is a role player. There are games where he shines, Detroit, for one. But he's the opposite of a consistent player. 

 

4. I listen to Dorsey and I'm not sure if any consistency will be developed. There are 4-games left. So establishing new rhythms and norms now? I don't see it. 

a. I don't think Gabe is suddenly going to run new patterns. 

b. I don't expect any Hines package at this point. He's a punt/kick returner and that's it now. 

c. The ship has sailed on Shakir this season. 

d. Cook is going to have 14 carries one game, 2 the next game, regardless of production. 

e. The expectation is that Beasley slides back in and starts touching the ball. I think he'll play, I just don't expect Dorsey to consistently feature him. 

 

F. And finally, another poster said it best. The Bills are in the conversation with the best AFC offenses because of Allen's greatness. It's the only trait of the Bills that matches Patrick Mahomes talent and Andy Reid's play design, or the weapons around Joe Burrow. We don't get that level outside of Allen and Diggs. 

 

 

Great post-  I agree I every bit of it.
