All_Pro_Bills

Two straight agonizing losses. Monday night I felt they just got physically beat so while I didn't care for the result the way it all played out was pretty much fair and square. The ref's called a straight and fair game and more or less went unnoticed most of the night. Today is different. The refs just wouldn't take the flag out of their pockets when the Bucs defensive backs were all over the Bills receivers. Let go a couple critical calls late but have no problem throwing the overtime flag when the contact was consistent with what they were letting go against the Bills. And Brady just seems to lead a charmed life as a constant beneficiary of being on the "right" side of all the inconsistent and questionable help from the officials. Allen played his guts out tonight and both the offense and defense rallied around his effort and will. What hurts is the ref's took it all away because they just wouldn't call it fair. I think the team takes on a don't get mad get even approach over the rest of the season and plays their best ball of the year down the stretch to a play off spot. Frankly, I won't mind if they have to play on the road because for some reason they seem to play better away.

Ref's ignore the PI on Diggs in end zone with seconds to go in regulation and Davis hold and grab in overtime then throw the flag against the Bills. Soon after TD and another BS loss. They just didn't have the stones to throw the flag against Brady and the Bucs but had no problem screwing the Bills once more. Sick and tired of it all.

I say burn the scumbag "producer" and all his enablers at the stake in the public square.

So now we've gone from consequences to serious consequences to massive consequences. What's next? Double secret probation!

Vaccinated too until they officially change the definition to require boosters in that determination and make it time bound and no longer a yes or no question. When we had the mask mandates I cooperated but unlike you I caught a cold 3 or 4 times. And my activities were limited to just going out to public places for what's necessary. It led me to conclude masks not meeting or exceeding surgical standards, the type almost everyone is wearing, provide limited to zero protection against viruses and the amount of COVID virus floating around out there is much less than the common cold and therefore much less than the experts are suggesting.

Hope you feel better as the day goes on. Maybe watching the Bills game and a win tomorrow will provide some additional relief? The majority of people I know that got the booster and have talked about it have said the adverse side effects were a lot worse than when they got the original two shot COVID vaccine. It makes me wonder if a 4th would be worse and so on. And at what point it might lay you up for a while? Is there some accumulative effect equivalent to toxicity going on here? When I got the two shots the first didn't cause anything but with the second I got a slight fever after about 24 hours and at the same time some "mental fog" which lasted about an hour. I'm on the fence about the booster and with what I've heard about the Omicron being mild and apparently able to circumvent the vaccines I'm waiting for more info.

1 year probation, some nominal fine, and 60 days of community service. That's my betting line here. Take the over or the under? And the left will be unhappy because that will leave the crybabies with nothing to beech about.

An intellectual bullsheet attempt at explaining away the administrations self-inflicted failures to date. I hate the comparisons to Carter. Jimmy Carter was a sincere and honorable man faced with difficult circumstances but perhaps a little incompetent. I'd be hard pressed to attach those virtues to our current President who I believe is screwing up everything with purpose and malice.

Have you noticed how authoritarian, pro-big government, anti-freedom, pro-war, left leaning media outlets, MSNBC & CNN in particular, have rendered comedy specialty channels like Comedy Central redundant? Put on either for about 20 minutes and you'll laugh so hard its a relief that frequent commercial breaks are available for you to catch your breath. The programming is hysterical. I understand with 2022 they're starting a spin off called "The Racism Channel".

Handing out trillions in "free" money to spend does not result in an economic boom or an increase in productive activity. Or maybe you think it is? Perhaps proverty could be completely eliminated by giving every person living under the poverty level $10 million dollars each? Why.....its brilliant!! And what could go wrong?

Well, if there actually was a hearing I'd expect everybody there would remember it.

Maybe we should see the cell phone records of Schiff and Pelosi from 1/6 to understand who they were talking to that day?

Along with all the support personnel and equipment. And then what? Start WW3 over Ukraine? Who do you think you are, Victoria Nuland? Even Biden's gang that couldn't shoot straight are smarter than that.

Everyone I know that has gotten the 3rd shot, the booster, has experienced adverse reactions much worse than what they experienced from the original two-shot dose.

Where is Biden leading? He threatens Russia with sanctions. Serious sanctions. Anyone think this threat is keeping the Kremlin leadership up at night? So what will Russia do? They will respond by harming our "allies" in Europe. So what's the incentive over time for western European countries to line up in support of the program when they're consistently being negatively impacted and being told to subjugate their national interests in order to support US policy objectives? Putin's end game here isn't to invade Ukraine. The country is a liability and not a prized asset. His immediate concern is keeping NATO forces off his border. Biden has stated he won't commit US forces to the defense of Ukraine. He's already tipped his hand. Putin's ultimate game is to drive a wedge between the US and Western European countries by creating a divergences of interests between the parties. And over time creating the environment where Europeans see their interests more closely aligned with Russia than the U.S. Which will result in driving the U.S. out of Europe and uniting Western Europe and Russia into an economic alliance. And in the process marginalizing U.S. interests and power. That's the objective. Its the same game he's playing in the Middle East with the Saudi's and Iranians. Isolate and marginalize U.S. interests around the globe without firing a shot.

I did think of Brady but didn't list him because I could not think of a RB he teamed with over time in the manner of the other examples. That's not to say Brady wasn't aided by a good complimentary running game. Of all the seasons they won the Super Bowl the team ranked in the lower half in rushing in just the 2014 season (18th) where Belichik's Jedi mind trick at the end of the game convinced Carrol's offensive minds to call a quick one-yard slant pass into heavy traffic at the goal line which was intercepted to seal the win for NE instead of handing the ball off to Lynch who was unstoppable on that drive. Of all his SB appearances Brady's best performance was against the Eagles where they lost. I could argue their running game and defense were as important to those wins as the QB.

Also Allen should stop snapping the ball on the 3rd hut every time he goes hard count. it can't help that defensive lines around the league have figured out our snap count.

The Bills are built around an offense designed to score a lot of points through the passing game and a defense that feeds off QB pressure and turnovers when all that works and the opponent is forced to play it the same way on offense. Most teams don't have the personnel to keep up. When it doesn't work they get into trouble. And this season it hasn't worked too well against better teams that have the personnel and the coaches that can adapt to different game plans an schemes. Flexibility. There's a clear deficiency on the offensive and defensive lines. We all see it and I'm sure Bills management sees it. They rolled the dice and assumed the risk it will work and it hasn't. They need to fix it but its too late for this season. its not so much what you want to do its what you can do that matters. Lots of teams have had great passing attacks they relied on but they've also had a ground game when needed. Jim Kelly had Thurman Thomas and a complementary running game Steve Young had Roger Craig and a complementary running game Kurt Warner had Marshall Faulk and a complementary running game Payton Manning had Edgerin James and a complementary running game Josh Allen has what? A running game with an offensive line and a running back group that's good for about 60 yards a week.

That's something rich and powerful people like to say to distract from the fact they're screwing everybody else while they're alive. The message is the poor will get their reward when they die. But while you're here, just obey us.

All while Bill DiBlasio is issuing mandates sending living people other places to live and work.

NBC and ABC report a spontaneous tree fire broke out as a transsexual re-settled migrant leaving a diversity celebration was forced to climb the tree in order to escape one of the dozens of angry mobs of right wing militia members that have been plaguing the city and are suspected of triggering a crime wave they have been erroneously blaming on gangs of oppressed minority youths.

Good point. Zelinsky should unleash the administrative super-weapon and proclaim a vaccine mandate that requires anyone entering Ukraine must provide proof of vaccination. That should keep those Russians forces out. It might take Putin several weeks to produce enough fake vaccine passports. I suggest we send soon to be former NYC Mayor Bill DiBlasio over there to act as an experienced adviser on how to get people to leave a political jurisdiction. Who needs troops, tanks, and assault weapons when you have mandates?

Having a great passing offense and as a result an unbalanced offense is not a problem until you face a defense that stops your primary offensive weapons. At that point unless you have some proficiency at running the ball you're in trouble. That's what happens to the Bills. Maybe Daboll and the coaching staff don't want to focus on running the ball but when you need to you better be able at least show average ability to move the ball on the ground or you're in trouble. That's how it is with the Bills. Not that they don't want to run, that they can't and they're just not good at it.

Lack of a single dominant defensive line player, little depth at LB, bad interior offensive line play, deficiencies at RB. How did the GM address them? By ignoring the problem in 3 areas and going all in on the other with the rotation strategy at the defensive line. Management addressed the defensive line by committing the 1st and 2nd round choices in the draft to the group. The defensive line rotation was a good idea in theory but not in practice. You've got 8 or 9 guys without any one dominant player. What good is that? Substituting players to keep them fresh and playing at an unproductive level. The fix right now is to identify your 4 best players and increase their snaps to about 75%. And on top of that committing a large portion of the cap to this under-performing group. Find a couple star players for this group and drop the rotation approach. Drafted two OT's. A position where the team has two established starters already. The problem is the interior of the line and other than a late round pick they did nothing. This was a gamble that failed miserably. Get some guards and think about moving on from Morse next season. Playing the nickel package they rely on Milano and Edmunds so this area was also ignored. They resigned Milano which was smart. Edmunds has all the measurable's and by all accounts should be an excellent LB but it just hasn't translated to consistent performance on the field. My prediction is he eventually goes to a 3-4 team and becomes a better player in that scheme. At running back the big move was to add Matt Breida. A move that looked good on paper. But he's rarely seen the field until recently and his fumbles have been costly. I don't see him or Moss on the roster next year. Singletary has value as a role player but the team needs a workhorse number one back. The other thing is game plan. I'd simply argue the Bills have almost the exact same game plan on offense and defense no matter who they're playing. And the same plays. It seemed like they spent the entire off season planning and preparing to beat the Chiefs and forgot about the other 30 teams. And once they beat the Chiefs it was mission accomplished and they seemed to sit back and declare victory. But their whole approach has become so predictable it doesn't take a top NFL coaching staff to figure out what is coming. They could play a team with the worst run defense in the league or the best run defense in the league. Doesn't matter. Run the ball 12 to 15 times and throw 40 to 45 passes. On defense the same thing. Play the base 4-2-5 and if it doesn't work wait until the 4th quarter to make any adjustments. Execution by the players is always the problem when the Bills play NE. Belichik played it ultra-conservative last night because as he always does he was counting on the Bills committing their typical dozen or so accumulated blunders. And as usual the Bills didn't disappoint.

This team's entire philosophy is based on scoring a lot of points thru the passing game, playing with the lead, and taking the opponents run game out of their playbook. Forcing them into mistakes when attempting to match score-for-score. And using the 8 man defensive line to keep fresh pressure on the QB. When that doesn't work they're in trouble. Even following that blueprint you need to be able to slug it out and win a street fight every once in a while and this team just isn't built on either side of the ball to fight that fight.
