However, because it’s so much money the players get criticized any time they talk about money, as if it’s supposed to be this taboo thing now that they have it I think it's more about the timing. If Buffalo was sitting at 7-2 and Ed's talking about hitting incentives everything is cool. Sitting at 5-4, underachieving what a lot though they would be and general uncertainty heading into the rest of the year...yeah don't really want to hear about how much more money he stands to gain with a few more sacks. Especially coming off a losing effort a couple days before he made the statement. Credit for the openness and honesty answering...but Ed needs to read the room. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills offense is similar to the Bucs with Brady, there should be no excuse why he doesn't play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warriorspikes51 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Broncos coming off a win vs KC and a Bye.....there's no pressure on them. I think they'll torture us tonight Hope I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) 40 minutes ago, NewEra said: I don’t think there is a switch. I think that insinuates that we’ve already figured it out, we just have to apply it I don’t think that they have figured it out. There is no switch to flip. Just put in the hard work and hope to find gold. They better find it soon I am not disagreeing with you at all, but quite simply that's the ballad of the loser. The simplest clichés hold true...good teams win games. If they are not winning, they are not good. The "hard work" is easily equitable to Connery's ('The Rock") line of, "Your "best"?! Losers whine about doing their best. Winners go home and **** the prom queen." They can do a ton of hard work and it may yield the exact same result: 4 whole games, even wins, of meh. Let's hope something goes off with them or they find their way to the holy grail soon because we need Mr. Momentum to pop in and stay through Christmas. GO Bills!

Fournette said that the Bills passing scheme is the most complicated he has ever seen. All those choice routes require the pass catcher to read the defense, not just run a precise route. Also, contrary to popular belief in TBD, Hines was traded to the Bills on a Tuesday and played that Sunday against the Jets. Josh attempted a long pass to him on a wheel route that was incomplete.

I've never paid a lot of attention to the terminology, but the question is, is he likely to play tonight? Can't believe it's not worth putting him out there to take carries inside the 5 yard line.

Geez, try a little kindness to someone or something today. Not really. Just expressing an opinion and calling it like I saw it. Now, Let's Effing Go Bills! I would LOVE to see JA have a great game and the Bills blow the Broncos out of the building. Btw, for those who don't know, Sirius now has FOUR channels up playing Xmas music! 😉 You're welcome. 🎅🤶 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruffalo Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) My game prediction: Bills will win something like 24-17, and statistically it's going to look like a great game for the offense but it won't pass the eye test. Then the chronically positive Bills fans and radio/podcast personalities will point to the stats and say "LOOK GUYS EVERYTHING IS FINE. CHECK OUT THE EPA, THE PASS OFFENSE IS ACTUALLY COMPLEX, NOT NEEDLESSLY CONFUSING TO THE PLAYERS". A lot of the criticism will calm down (undeservingly). The over/under on showing Josh Allen on the bench staring into the void is 3.5. I would take the over. (I really hope I'm wrong, and that the Bills wow everyone and this is the mid season turning point that we all want. I'm just pessimistic about this coaching staff.)

I think “not passing the eye test” means a very wide array of possibilities. Are we talking an offense that has some punts, maybe even some 3-and-outs but we are still overall productive? Or 3.9 YPC, a few turnovers, and presnap penalties while still speaking out a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, it would not insignificant amount of the game where the offense just goes dormant again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
