From the Athletic: https://theathletic.com/3002629/2021/12/07/a-disconnect-brewing-between-sean-mcdermott-and-brian-daboll-7-observations-from-the-bills-loss-to-the-patriots/ When asked if he felt offensive coordinator Brian Daboll was doing a good enough job, McDermott didn’t give his usual line of “We all need to be better and that starts with me.” Instead, his message was clear and his comments were subtly the biggest indicator to this point of his frustration with the offensive game plan, and by proxy, Daboll. “Well I didn’t think, honestly, we took advantage of opportunities tonight. I really didn’t. The ball is at the 40-yard line. We’re 1-for-4 in the red zone. We’ve got to figure that part of it out.” That was the most direct answer about Daboll, but McDermott provided subtle hints before that point. McDermott pushed back when asked if he wondered about his team’s lack of physicality not being a fit for how to win games this time of year. “That has not been my message from day one, I can promise you that. If you were in the team meetings in training camp, you would know what style of offense I want,” he said. “That identity needs to embody toughness.” About the red zone woes, McDermott said, “Just no rhythm. No rhythm, really, down there.” And then simplifying it all, with an allusion to the last time there was some frustration with the offensive game plan years ago, the coach said, “You’ve got to score more points. That’s the name of the game. Score more points.”

If we play the Colts, they will destroy us again.

I think as long as Fournette has a pulse, the Bucs' home ass-kicking trend will continue for them.

We've seen exactly one fumble by McKenzie this season. And he was in the top 3 for returns in the NFL when he got benched. I'll concede that the conditions may have justified using Poyer over McKenzie. But cite the reasons/logic behind the move in a professional manner. For example: "In the xxxxx game earlier in the season, we saw McKenzie struggle a bit with unpredictable kicks. We just felt like Poyer is better suited to receive kicks in these particular conditions." Instead of - "I wanted to put a guy back there that I trusted and was gonna make good decisions with the ball.” It's not like there has ever been a trend of McKenzie muffing or fumbling returns. It's never been close to a trend. He's one of the best returners in the NFL and it is utterly asinine to bench him, then publicly disrespect him. Total Bush League move on McDermott's part.

There's calling out problem areas and then there's throwing players under a bus. His wording and delivery were terrible.

They are going to kick our asses .... badly. Child's play for them.

I've always been a Beane fan, but he absolutely deserves criticism for not addressing the trenches properly.

https://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/2021/12/bills-isaiah-mckenzie-has-one-word-response-to-sean-mcdermotts-lack-of-trust-in-returners.html McDermott was asked why he kept both of them (McKittrick and Stevenson) down for this game and he referred to the play in the game where the Patriots muffed a punt and it lead to the Bills touchdown. “The same reason they turned it over on their punt return team - I didn’t want to do that,” McDermott said. “I wanted to put a guy back there that I trusted and was gonna make good decisions with the ball.” McDermott is an idiot. McKenzie was among the league's best returners prior to being benched. This is a really dumb way to "make a statement," and it's hurting the team.

Isn't it time for you to go away?

Is 2004 when you married into money?

Buffalo's weather being the worst in the NFL is a proven myth.

Yeah, going to that AFC Championship game with all of those crappy players really sucked last year.

Yeah, that Tre White pick really sucked. Not nearly as bad as your troll game, though.

I absolutely wear gloves! Even with jalapenos. This chili was inedible and I'm not exaggerating. I LOVE heat and even I couldn't handle it. It was crazy. The good news was that the mild chili turned out just fine and there was a TON of food, so the absence of the fire chili meant nothing.

I expect Barkley to get 30 carries, minimum. But then again, it's the Giants, so ...

I used three tiny habaneros that @Beerballgrew in a chili for the TBDAHOT. I made one hot batch and one mild batch. I have never had such hot habaneros in my life. I brought the chili, but when I tasted it, I "took it off the menu," immediately. It was too hot and would have made unsuspecting tasters miserable. Seriously as hot as any jolokia (ghost pepper) I've ever had.

I want to do the chip challenge. I flirted with the idea of buying one and putting it in a bowl of regular chips just to see the reaction of the person who unknowingly grabbed it. I discussed doing it at the TBDAHOT in the shoutbox and decided not to do it, as someone could potentially die and I could be charged with manslaughter. But goddamn ... that would be funny.

Yeah, I've been on missions before during which I punished myself by eating wings that were too hot. Those days are over. I like heat and probably more than most people. I don't mind a tear in my eye whilst enjoying a nice, hot wing. But I've had wings that just plain hurt to eat and those days are over for me.

If your beef on weck was bland, then someone didn't make it right. I'm not sure how salt, caraway seeds, horseradish and au jus could possibly be bland.

If I were a season ticket holder and some Pats* fan wanted to give me a ridiculous amount of money for my tickets .... you bet your sweet ass I'd do it.

How many times are you going to post the same crap written in a slightly different way? Why aren't you on a Pats* fan site?

Yours was first.

Why the need for any adult to start a thread asking how to dress for a cold, rainy day. It's wet. It's cold. Figure it out.

Mac Jones has been more accurate and has led his team to the top of the division. Not sure if Josh deserves it, but maybe be can back in as an alternate.
