  1. This team is poorly coached. Poor strategy, tactics, everything. I'd start there.
  2. I'd agree. Not sure what happened between the Raiders/Jets game, but something certainly has happened with this team.
  3. Perhaps a hot take but StubHub is the wave of the NFL's future. Half empty 65,000 seat stadium vs. filled 30,000 stadium. Presentation is 90% of the sale.
  4. I think Tyrod gets the first half of the SD game. There's no excuses there. Full arsenal of weapons. If it's a tire fire yet again, I think there's a chance he's benched and Peterman gets a half to show what he can do. Buffalo has to be desperate to make the playoffs and willing to make bold moves to do it. It's going to crush the McDermott/Beane era starting off with so much promise and falling flat on your face in Year One.
  5. Remember, the same coach likes the "run Mike Tolbert up the middle for a cloud of dust" play that makes even less sense.
  6. I think he's doing what he's told 8 out of the 10 times. The other two times he deviates out of necessity. TT hasn't struck me as a freelancer. Ever. There's next to no audibles at the line, and unless he's flushed from the pocket, he follows the script. Remember, you've got guys preaching "process" and conformity all over the place under McDermott.
  7. I'll support the trade no matter what MD does for the remainder of his career. His motivation to work is temporary.
  8. Once again, the Bills coaching staff has no idea how to adjust to an opponent who has game film on them. How many times have we said this over the years about the Bills approach to games by their coordinators? Taylor deserves blame but I put the majority of it on McDermott and Dennison for not being aware that teams were going to catch up to the tactics sooner rather than later. It’s like they don’t start out with the premise “Ok, Tyrod has to be in the pocket. What can we do to make him successful?” as the Monday Morning question on the whiteboard. Frazier's should be "why can't we sack anybody?"
  9. I think the offense has lost faith in Dennison and his reluctance to deviate from the "his" blocking scheme no matter how ineffective it is. Same old, same old.
  10. Dennison and Frazier have been found out. Can't keep doing the same thing week in and week out. The reason the first drive sorta went well was because it wasn't part of the script every teams had a chance to watch tape on. It's lazy and stubborn. A bad combo.
  11. There's too much of it on TV and its had a decline in quality. There are many parallels between the fate of the Simpsons TV show and the NFL when you think about it. The longer it's around the less people care about it, and ultimately it becomes a shadow of its former self, just hanging on for hanging on's sake.
  12. I surmise that BB will retire because he no longer has control over his roster post Brady power play. Who knows - maybe he doesn't think a 41 year old QB in 2018 is a great idea either.
  13. IMO there was no quit. However, that team looked tired and out of rhythm from snap one. I'm sure a lot of us have played sports at some point in our lives. You know you have games where you and half the team isn't feeling it.
  14. We will know more in the first half of the Saints game. In years past, a beat down in one game had a hangover that spanned several. If this year is THE year, the New Orleans game is going to tell you a whole lot.
  15. That's surprising considering some of the All-Time threads. I'm surprised the month Mario Williams signed wouldn't beat out September 2017.
  16. Another vote for Vance Joseph. Elway isn't going to tolerate shellackings like that, even if he's a rookie head coach. I actually think Hue Jackson will stay in Cleveland. It's the FO that will be fired. My dark horse candidate for firing/resignation etc. is Jack Del Rio.
  17. Coaching is a young man's game today. There's little reason to hire a retread who's been fired from two head coaching jobs. Hell, the Rams have a head coach barely in his 30s.
  18. We are all going to see what McDermott is made of as a coach, that's for sure.
  19. It was an egg. Entire team from coach down to the random people on the sidelines all looked tired and disinterested.
  20. Tyrod Taylor is the 2018 Quarterback if the Bills get over the hump this year, a historically significant event in itself. One, he's earned it. Two, that'd be seriously chancing the karma/mojo/cosmic gods by jettisoning him for a rookie.
  21. He will take the Bills to the AFC Championship simply because the Bills deliberately stockpiled picks to take a QB in 2018. The decision can't be easy you know.
  22. I agree somewhat with the OP that the Panthers are done with Newton for whatever reason. I think he'll be on another team next year. However, I don't think it'll be the Bills.
  23. Thursday feels like a trap game to me. It's the biggest worry I've got on the remaining schedule because we've been here before and it's gone poorly. Have to beat the Patriots once. My prognostication that the Bills and Pats will have identical records at their first meeting is so far holding up.
  24. He's there, It's mid-season, he's in game shape, he's staying in the same time zone and there's no real advantage to not letting him play.
  25. Hollywood is going to burn like the state it is located in. Perhaps Corey Feldman was right all along.
