Jets may just sit Rodgers next week. lol.

Sorry about typo, done on iPad which I swear makes more errors with correction on. I did it when tired and just missed it. Edited and corrected misspelling. Sorry , even I’m not an angel , Maybe more of a square now with all 90 degree angles at my age! 😊. Seriously tho , I have to use an iPad because of little feeling in my hands after failed cervical surgery for 5 collapsed discs trapping and damaging my cervical cord. I have to triple read everything or it changes words after I typed them in , and in this case, it chose the wrong spelling. I just installed the latest iOS for iPad Pro and even now with its new “ Siri AI”, it still does this type of crap. Again, apologize for missing that. 😊

Guy can play football, well. Everybody makes mistakes and deserves a second chance. If Antonio brown , true sociopath, can get three chances, someone will give him a chance. Not making any judgement , just stating how the nfl works Not all are angels. Will see.

Plus they are still the top scoring offense in the nfl with largest point differential Bills are #2 . Heck , he might be a bettered coordinator than McD after watching the last two games ! lol, JK, but I wouldn’t say he’s a scrub. How would you feel if McD drops one of the last three games or gets knocked. Out again before the superbowl, ? Keep doin the same crazy d , as Allen becomes Kelly and Marino version 2.0 ? Or roll the dice and maybe become KC ? Just a thought. Lists see how season actually ends. If he brings in a Lombardi , he virtually owns the town and coaches as long as Belicheck!

Go to YouTube and watch videos of Bills mafia at that last sniwbiwl game ! They all raved how great the experience was, many saying it was the best game they ever attended. The tailgating and whole experience looked amazing. All those on YouTube were adamant it would be terrible to have a dome and not experience American Football in a great snow environment as a tradition. They came , they shoveled, they stayed, and the Bills won. It was an obvious advantage against San Fran. peguka did the right thing. His franchise qb plays like he was born to play in the snow and he had 6 tds that game! That lake effect game was absolutely a classic that will be watched over and over again . It’s part of what makes Buffalo so unique. It’s not about career stats etc, after all the SB”s are played in warm climates so weather doesn’t matter. You don’t destroy iconic scenes and games like the LA snow bowl ; The Bills will be around even after Josh retires , and who knows , the Bills may need snow to equalize the field when he’s gone. Smart owner, no dome!

So true. He is very private , soft spoken off the field , loves to read , very frugal , intelligent and kind person. This came from his fiancé I met in 2021 at a target in Florida as she was traveling to meet him.

Now getting a groin injury can really be a lingering issue so much for working the rust off. He probably is out 1-3 weeks just based on how they handle these soft tissue injuries. Not as bad as hamstring injury usually , but he was just coming back. I bet he sits till playoffs unless it was very precautionary pulling him. Don’t know his contract status , really like him and his wife is really a good person as well, but this is prob his lat run with the bills. He is just no longer durable. He can be replaced pretty easily now by Beane with this injury issue being recurrent. Feel bad for him, really classy guy. When healthy , he was fantastic.

Says he is playing the same , but qbs getting ball out too quick so nothing he can do. Well how bout putting your arms up , jumping, getting some tipped balls? You, Ed , are doing nothing and just giving up. Doesn’t explain other teams also running at will at crucial times snd their best games seem to always be about facing this d. It’s just no accountability and with the money , he now faces no benching , and he just plays with no urgency or like he wants to keep proving he could keep improving. The whole d line plays that way outside of epenesa who has some days where he does well despite his limited talents. This is Beanes biggest failure every year , failed fas, failed at the draft This is why it’s hard to maintain faith Mcd will bring a Lombardi home , as you combine this d line with terrible decision making under pressure and his scheme of 2 small lbs with always playing scared , soft zone allowing WRs to come of line untouched. It’s hasn’t worked in 7 years. Josh with his best and another anazing year , but I suspect it will be waisted. Come on, 9 guys on the field with no returner , and a blocked punt in the same game with yet another botched time out use. It’s now an anomaly, it’s a pattern. Detroit game will be a clue , not optimistic as this team is used to choking at end games , ot. But even a win can’t prevent another playoff debacle. Hope I’m wrong , but it feels like mcds penchant for errors in close games , feels like we will waste what appeared to be a magical season. Prove me wrong Mcd ,or we can just repeat this until Josh has gotten well past his prime.

Not so fast my friend. Lions are hurt but they still get pressure on the qb and Campbell sends them from everywhere. This is their chance at the #1 seed. They are also more rested. Unless the qb throws 5 picks again , I don’t see this d under these Mcd soft zone rules stopping them at all and our o will not face a bad d like the rams have. I would like to be wrong , but they pretty much have Been looking at this as their loss yet still be in the chase for the 1 seed. That disappeared yesterday. Josh will keep it within two scores , but I see this as our second 2 game losing streak. Then we finish off with the trashy afc east. But Los ing that one seed allows KC or Pittsburgh to rest and it’s a huge advantage. Just ask Thurman Thomas. lions come in very confident with only one loss and a huge point differential. They are not worried about an o that required two huge penalties to keep scoring drives alive. I’m sorry , against quality teams , Mcd has lost my trust ; it’s show me time. I we win only if we win the turnover battle by 2 or more imo. Again I want to be wrong , but I’ve watched the lions dismantle almost everyone. We lack a d line who can finish and you can’t fix that now without blitzing and Mcd is just never going to chance that. He prefers slow deaths by a million cuts.

No he is supposed to hire and lead teachers and competent coordinators. Thats his job , and every year someone in his chain of command grossly fails. He’s the CEO on the field , and he is known more for spectacular failures than spectacular wins. 9 men on the fiekd the last play is a complete failure from him to the. Players not paying attention. It’s not an isolated event. Yep , I expect him to coordinate that last play and last offensive strategy. He gets paid several mil to do just that.

He reinjured his left hand early in the game and was in obvious pain. They have never disclosed his actual initial injury. I suspect he had / has and healing from a non displaced fracture of one of his metacarpals. That’s the top , dorsum of the mid hand and nit the wrist. I suspect this as it’s taken many weeks to heal , the glove protects his hand not wrist , and it coukd easily be reinjured. They immediately changed play calling away from sneaks and qb runs. He even went to hand offs and a couple pitches to avoid holding the Ball. , getting hit and hurt worse ir fumbling. He felt better in the second half. , got it rewrapoed or even injected or took something like toradol by mouth or shot to be able to play more.freely like himself in the second half. Plus he is an animal , plays thru pain and adrenaline.kicked in as they saw a chance to pull it out. So I think the glove stays on and that explains the two Halves. They never tell the truth , so I can only speculate based on seeing similar cases. Time will tell. Just my opinion seeing him in pain and the protection he is wearing.

Just proves how that award process is a joke , just like pro bowl voting. The only award with something is the Lombardi , because it’s not subjective , you actually earn it on the field doing the things required to allow you to separate yourself from others , and actually accomplish the lifelong goal you chose to persue . People don’t really care about or focus on mvp awards in terms of ultimate career success. It’s about the Lombardi and the rings. Cities and franchises don’t do parades for mvp awards , it about the Lombardi!

Mcd has proven he is perfect for this team , and he brought Allen here with Beane when few teams , maybe no other teams believed he woukd become great. Great post game speech , levy like ( whom he quoted , so it ties this team to those great years) This is another legacy era in Bills football. This year it’s finally coming together and you can feel it. For the first time since those SB years , I actually expect the Bills to win now , it doesn’t feel like it’s unpredictable this year. That’s what it felt like during the 90’s and has never been replicated. This is a team in every sense and filled with likeable guys who get it , the big picture , and have bought into the PRocess ! I give credit to McD , he has had a mission and vision regarding his process and he is finally enjoying the season and he deserves tons of credit. I was beginning to doubt if he was actually THE GUY for the Bills , but this year he has proven to be a great leader and he will be a great part of Bills history similar to Marv. 5 consecutive arc east titles is an amazing accomplishment and he is our Tomlin in that he is the guy who brought his vision of culture to life for this organization. Great game tonight that will always be a part of special Bills memories. I really think they are peaking perfectly this year and I believe they can get it done,,,,in fact ,, they gotta get it done! lol! Go BILLS , ENJOY THIS ALONG WITH YOUR FAMILY / loved ones , and also have a great Christmas season! GO BILLS!

Enjoy every minute Been around as a fan since ‘63. So have seen ups and downs. Loved the SB YEARS. Never thought I would see a qb actually match or surpass Kelly as a real leader. Those teams were filled with leaders and HOF guys. This era is basically based on Josh and his talent. He is truly generational. Inspiring guy on / off the field. Also levy was and will always be my fav coach as a gentleman and true scholar. Perfect for that area , which was before free agency. I mention that as guys usually stuck with a team throughout their careers , so chemistry carried over. Josh has improved and thrived despite changing talent around him. But Mcd and Beane I think have proven to be perfect for this era of Bills football Mcd is actually thriving and enjoying , and doing his best coaching this year. This really feels like a special year. It really feels like those SB teams because now we actually feel confident they can win and play with the best teams. Turnovers are down, and we lead the league at plus 17 I believe. We are winning with complimentary football as Mcd has preached as his process. And this team has chemistry and talent. Two biggest changes have been getting Diggs released and getting a true playmaker at Lb replacing the largely ineffective Edmund’s who never met the expectations Mcd had for him. ( watch the bears , he is still avoiding contact , rarely makes plays , and sorry , he is a soft player Tarzan off the bus, Jane on the field type. This d is for real and they are hitters out there now). We now have True building blocks at both critical positions on o and D. ). Just saying , enjoy and take in this feeling of success and truly a generational qb. I can speak from experience , this feels like the Kelly years plus . The team isn’t full of HOF players like Bruce, thurm, reed, marv , polian, tasker , bisquit, conlsn , odomes, Christy etc, but it’s loaded with even better chemistry and I really believe Mcd with Allen is our best chance to finally get that Lombardi. This is special , even those great sb teams had letdowns and so far , Mcd has guided a great season. This is the best group to finally create their own legacy outside of the SB TEAM YEARS. 5 afc east titles is great ; we just have to get past KC with Reid/ mahomes , and we might get that Lombardi finally. The other playoff teams that could be a threat are the physical Steelers and power running ravens. I think this team has the mental resilience to do it. Enjoy, it’s real , and go BILLS!

Yep. Just north of Jax they have warnings for possible freezing temps tonight below 32. It does get chilly here for a couple days then warms back up. Funny, tonight they had the boats / sailboats all decorated and going thru. Downtown Jax on the St. John’s river. They also will be having the life guard chair decorating contest at the beach here ! Looks nice , but if you grew up in the north , nothing compares to Christmas lights glistening off pristine snow ! My father always decorated the house for Christmas and put out seed for birds and salt for deer to come up into our back yard. We have a large property , 72 acres, in Ohio , 30 min from Pittsburgh, With woods surrounding the house. It was the.best. I came to Florida because that area was coal / steel dependent and sadly , it’s like a ghost town as 50% or more have left since the 70’s. But Christmas lights don’t look great on palm trees , boats , lifeguard chairs compared to reflecting off the snow! Snow was great as a kid , but.working and shoveling it around Easter took all the enjoyment away ! lol ! Best wishes , go bills !

Oh no. Feel bad for you. Try putting it in a splint , like a towel around your neck and then resting your arm in it. You can ice it from outside the splint to protect your skin. If you have no allergies Tylenol or advil might help ( avoid Advil if you have hypertension or gi issues ). Watch for swelling Around the elbow , if it’s prominent , it can mean you need to get it x rayed to look for fractures. If you have persistent pain with extending your elbow or rotating your hand or you keep feeling or hearing that funny sound which is called crepitus and can be a sign of fracture , get checked when you can with all the snow there. Rest it on a pillow tonight to keep it above the level of your heart while lying down and that may help w pain / swelling. just some ideas to get you thru till you can see someone. Hopefully it’s a bad bruise only. Best wishes. Hope you are ok to watch the game Sunday night. Go bills !

Watching a storm chaser on YouTube now on an iPad while watching football on tv. He just passed Highmark stadium at 10:12 pm. It is really coming down , snow looks heavy and it’s blowing horizontally as he was passing the stadium. It really looks bad. He did pass a snow plow on the other side of the road ( streamers name is Logan eschrich on YouTube streaming live ) but if this doesn’t pass quickly , I know at least as it is blizzard like now , there would be no way to play imo. Thankfully it’s early ( 10 pm ) , but there is quite a bit of accumulation already outside the stadium. If this doesn’t stop almost completely by early morning , I wonder if they even allow travel. Again , been watching off and on all day in YouTube ( gosh the snow just looks so pretty coming from a.guy born on the Ohio/ Pennsylvania border , but living in Jax fl since ‘85. We got snow here once in my 40 plus years in Jax , for a day , and it seemed more like frost with spitting flakes than real snow, and it closed all roads and bridges. lol) , and Orchard Park is really getting hit. I would bet now looking at how heavy it’s snowing as that storm chaser is driving around the OP THAT the game gets delayed/ moved. Really feel for those of you getting slammed like this. Stay safe ; sure is awesome to watch on YouTube , but I’m. beginning to have doubts about the game being played. These conditions also make it anyone’s game as there prob will be very little ability to run regular offenses in that blizzard like snow. Go bills.!

Yep , no one broke ankles like sanders. But as a kid I grew up watching OJ AND THE ELECTRIC co go for 2 k yards in a 14 game season. Still remember the snowy day he went over 2 k and was hoisted by the o line. Man , he was so smooth, and he just glided. He and Barry were like aliens from another world. I won a silent auction at SB 27 put on by the NFL in Pasadena and won a signed oj jersey , a football signed by the Bills, and a Bills helmet signed by the team. A few months later I had them displayed in my office , and one night I was having dinner zand there was the white bronco being chased live on network tv. To make matters worse, someone got into the office a month later , and stole all my memorabilia. Only thing I have left is two numbered uncut sheets of skybox cards that were printed at the SB NFL EXPERIENCE. They are in pristine shape , about 3 x 4 foot , and they have all the bills and cowboy rosters and other pro bowl players. They printed 20 k of the sheets and they are seamed and numbered. Had to ship them back to Florida from Pasadena and luckily , I had not displayed they in my office. FINA’s rookie card is part of the set. I wanted to see if he might like the set ( he displays memorabilia behind him on his podcast w Joe miller. I’ m having some serious heath issues and just want the set to go to a bills fan who woukd appreciate them and keep them. If anybody talks to fina or miller or interested , maybe pass it on or contact me , I bet fina would love to pass those on to his kids / family, esp now that he is back fully with the Bills organization. BUT, watching Barry., and Oj as just a football player ,was amazing , and imo, no other backs really came close as pure speed and change of direction instantly as those two could running backs could do. Henry reminds me somewhat of Earl Campbell power wise, but he runs upright like George more than brutal bowling people over like Earl did. If the ravens keep running like this in the playoffs , and don’t turn it over , I’m not sure how a smallish team like the Bills can match up. I like the Bills against everyone else , but if the ravens run and don’t turn it over , we coukd beat them only if our o plays a perfect game. Without turnovers , they just wear everybody down.

I’m just an Old school guy, old Rick guy here, too. What song woukd better fit the Buffalo area, the working class ethic , the northern area and bordering canada, , than the classic Rush tune , WORKING MAN ? It never gets old , instantly recognizable, perfect lyrics, is a tune from A Rock and roll HOF BAND, HAS LYRICS that anyone can sing along with , builds up and rocks out and nothing beats those opening chords / lyrics. You could cut the solo a little and change one word if you wanted too. I get up at 7 yeah and go to work by 9. I got no time for the ( put team name in ) Chiefs , yeah , cuz I’m working all the time ! It seems to me I could live my live a lot better than I think I am, It seems to me I could live my life a lot better than any CHIEFS fan, I guess that’s why they call me , they call me the working man , I guess that’s what I am , I guess that what they call , they call me the BILLS MAFIA , MAN ! cuz that’s what I am , the BILLS MAFIA , MAN ! I get hone at 5 o clock , and I take myself out a nice cold beer , seems I’m always wonderin why there’s nothing going down here ! it seems to me I could live my live a lot better than any Chiefs fan , I guess that’s why they call me , they call me BILLS MAFIA , MAN ! Thats why they call me ,,, BILLS MAFIA, MAN! CUE A SHORTENED VERSION OF THE GREAT GUITAR SOLO , then to the lyric one more time with Bills Mafia Pics or shots of live fans in the stands enjoying their “ soft drinks” ! just a thought , but who works harder than the BILLS OR THE MAFIA ? And it would fit with a football game background I just don’t get the alt Rick Mr brightside to get players ready to hit etc, but if it’s working , then yeah , I’m superstitious enough to not mess w it ! Just don’t get the choice to start with ! lol! Go bills!

My point is it’s some of game playing that gets him nothing. He gets no advantage as the guys he remains vague about get declared out early anyhow so no team is wasting time preparing for a certain player to play. It is just contrary to the nfl requiring accurate injury disclosure. I don’t care. I just find it odd to do press conferences that are meaningless , do you still watch anything he puts out , I don’t. It’s just football , yet he acts like his being vague , which takes a certain effort ,will somehow add to his chance of success, while it is just the type of overthinking that has gone into many of his failed , late game coaching collapses. It’s a pattern of obsessive behavior and thinking , which if too pervasive can interfere with your goals , like winning a Super Bowl , and become counterproductive. All really successful people have some obsessive traits, or they would never persist to beat obstacles and achieve. Yet , it can go too far. So you might think it’s nonsense , but you are missing bigger patterns. I could go on , but sorry , I answered your questions in the original post but it was too many words for you. Perhaps consider some reading on ocd behavior. Coaching is not done in a bubble , they are humans and behaviors carry over in all aspects of life. Best wishes , go Bills! ( hey it is Just my opinion, I only ask for being open to different thoughts , not to be attacked. Your offer of its “ nonsense” offers no explanations or original thought. It’s name calling basically. Why not offer how being vague is so advantageous or productive. And until he proves he can win a sb , which is his reason to be a HC , he should remain open for fair , positive criticism )

Thanks for really narrowing that down! lol, JK! You can work for Mcd anytime! Best wishes , but this is about the best example of how vague mcd handles things. I don’t see the value in not being at least willing to tell the actual injury. I mean telling the actual injury changes nothing but speculation. It doesn’t affect treatment , time to return to play , prognosis , etc. I don’t care , tbh, I just find it as odd behavior and frankly it takes more effort to keep things locked up and really borders on paranoid type behavior. People will just keep asking ,keeping it an issue. If that is what you think you need to win a game it is almost obsessive energy devoted down a rabbit hole , rather than just saying , hey he has a non displaced fracture and as soon as it’s healing well and we feel good about him not injuring it further , he will play. Then it’s over , no more questions every week , he is being announced as out early both weeks so far so the other team knows he’s out and it’s no competitive advantage , and he returns when he does. At this point , who knows , he could still end up missing 3-4 weeks ; it’s just at some point he plays or he doesn’t. It’s either wrist or forearm , teams will still target hitting him the same way. Let the big cover up continue. Maybe focus on fixing your slow start issues would be more productive. Love Mcd as a coach , but have always found his evasive injury discussion as someone missing the forest for the trees.

True , but with this staff you never , I mean never really know the exact actual extent of the original injury. Nothing is ever discussed or handled in a transparent manner. I don’t understand the competitive impact Mcd thinks this gains. With 0 SB appearances , hard to say his way of handling medical injury information makes any logical sense. Unless you have talked with Milano or family or seen the actual injury data / diagnostic tests , how can you ever make any prognostic statements. Never seen anything like this by a staff. I would agree with you totally , it’s just with this paranoid type behavior , who can really say anything? I mean , for example, it’s already one game later and what is Coleman’s actual injury or prognosis? No one knows outside of the Bills med staff. So that makes it harder for the Chiefs this week ?. They still prepare for him and if he doesn’t play , it’s likely his snaps / targets go elsewhere or to a less talented person. The bills only have so many talented receiving options, and by now they are well known on film. How does being vague help ; if he plays the other team knows which wrist was injured , it will likely be wrapped if he can play at all, and they will still target hitting that area. Any thoughts on how this is productive? 😊✌️

I understand your point and agree , yet I can’t understand bringing up even less talented-guys who are never even going to get a target. The uses of certain players by this staff at times is just hard to grasp. Why bring mvs in at the original price , then cut him when you are making a playoff run for players with less talent and NO POST SEASON SUCCESS. At least he had a history of some legit playoff success. They have a history of under utilizing players at times , keeping them off the field for unknown reasons. They did it with the safety again this year as well. Cutting two FA ‘s signed who were expected to make impacts seems illogical to me. It’s a mistake by either signing them or cutting them , you can’t have it both ways and your process is flawed. You are signing guys who then never have enough talent to even touch the field? Just the fact mvs was capable to have a two td game is proof he can compete , yet he had zero productivity here despite being here all preseason / offseason. The stiffs they brought up did nothing but run motion. That’s not going to get you thru injury depleted times. The offense was really limited yesterday. I mean they won by 10 , after giving up a 10 point lead thanks to the d scoring , went down 13-10 at one point , done while getting 4 turnovers and a pick six! Hey A win is a win, but is the process a sustainable one that would work against good teams? Colts are something like the 31 st ranked team against the pass , yet Josh threw two ints against their substandard talent. Seems like there are times that players are held off the field for mystery or not well communicated reasons. Players who failed here are doing well after leaving like Poona ford / Tim settle. Add Diggs , mvs, edwards all to the list. It just seems like chaotic roster management rather than a logical strategy. If it happens once , understandable. Happening several times seems like an issue, and until they prove this process can win a SB, it’s fair to question Beanes moves.

I think you and a couple other posters are spot on! . There are just certain things that can’t be ignored. The chiefs are arguably better than us at every key area ; 1 ) Reid has proven at this point to be a better HC than Sean in the playoffs and also is probably a better oc NOW than Brady. 2) spags is an innovative dc , and they have a superstar de / closer / playmaker in Chris jones compared to any player on the bills d. Our closer , Von , is way past his prime w injuries taking their toll. Jones has a history of dominating the bills come playoff time. Our one great chance was the 13 sec game to overcome that d and well, we will never forget how that ended. 3 ). I hate this but mahomes so far has proven to be the best qb related to Super Bowl results . I like Allen better as a Buffalo guy, character guy , and so far he has played really well in the playoffs , but he hasn’t had the playmaker support or the coaching staff has made just enough errors to neutralize his talent in the playoffs. He has left the field leading , only to end up going home with defensive collapses. Other than that run ending in 13 sec , he has not lead the Bills to dominant leads( two scores or more) , and the o tends to go thru periods of hurting and stopping themselves with penalties etc or he is prone to ill timed turnovers ( like the Houston game) keeping games within reach , and that sets them up for the d to fail late. Say what you will , mahomes so far just has been a better closer of games in the playoffs. 4 ) They have a player in kelce who has been there and elevates his game come playoff time , creating mismatches with linebackers. We just have not yet had anything comparable outside of Josh. 5) they have had dominant special teams play. Last year bass was a liability down the stretch. He is looking good so far , but let’s see in the playoffs. I don’t think any of the above is hyperbole; home field advantage is huge for making a SB run, and so far the Chiefs have proven that. So , while some argue the chiefs have been lucky or gotten sloppy wins , you can’t argue with being undefeated , and they have achieved home field advantage almost every year. I think we could beat them and get to the SB THIS YEAR , but we have a more realistic chance if healthy for once , and can get that afc championship at home. Chiefs have the experience , history of success that breeds confidence , and they are so far just better come playoff time. The Bills have enough talent , and Mcd has kept improving , so we should have a realistic chance to make a run. . We have a really tough schedule , but based on past results , you would have to prove to me they could actually remain healthy enough to get past that rough schedule to make a playoff run. Imo, Mcd is a perfect fit for the bills and he is the best chance regarding the HC POSITION to get a SB one time. I don’t see him being dominant like Reid has been, but he has the leadership qualities to get them there one time. He does have to overcome his losing playoff record, esp on the road and his teams seem to collapse under pressure as noted by his zero wins in overtime, yet the players respect him and the chemistry is real. They definitely could do it this year as they are winning even ugly type games. They just have a narrower margin of error than the chiefs. Both teams are what their records show they are. If they get and stay healthy , Allen can take over any game and if he gets hot, this could be the year. Many “ ifs “ as you stated, but it’s possible as they gain confidence with each win. They have to be healthy tho , as they lack time together and need their best quality guys actually playing for a realistic shot. Go Bills!

😳. Thank you for sharing. Maybe too much info ?! lol ,,,,,please don’t share how you react should the Bills ever win a superbowl ! lol. Practice those boundaries! Not every feeling / reaction needs to be documented! lol. 😂 Maybe your avatar name should have been a little insight into your personal boundaries !! Again,,,maybe too much info?
