True if you always go the exact same way pretty easy to figure out I mean play off of that go right, have josh step in then pitch out or something but that is like giving the other team your play book if you ALWAYS run to the left just saying ...

Yep not sure where or who makes the decision of where it is places and would think that the booth should be able to correct something like that because those calls could change the out come of a game for sure and they did that last season against the Chiefs . They need a chip in the ball and when the ball hits the sensor light up the poles on the side line that the chain gang holds then there is no doubt and can look at replay to determine where the spot is not a yard away from the actual spot .

Wait no more opening day is here ! Would some one at the game drink a beer on the hallowed ground of the Ralph's final opening day for all the fans that can't be there to celebrate it with you ?? I will of course be having a beer with you all. form my lounge chair but it's just not the same . One would think that the opening ceremony at the stadium should have everyone raise a beer on this special last day for all the great memories this building has given us all over the years !! GO BILLS !!!

This coming from someone that believed when his guy was in office & was told that there is no border problem all while a historic record of illegals were coming into the country then believed that his guy Mayorkas said he was doing everything he could at the border and there was no problem , then was told the only way to keep from getting the covid virus was to get the jab on national TV, then was told I didn't take any money from his sons business dealings and knew nothing about any of it, and this could all be corroborated by facts that this was nothing but lies and you still believed it yet all the others that didn't;t believe it are the cult members . Oh and when he left office for no apparent reason he gave preemptive pardons to all concerned in his inner circle just because, No reason because all concerned were completely innocent he just wanted to do it ... Preach on brother the truth will float to the top and the BS will be as plain as the nose on your face even though you will always deny it to your dying day because the basis for all your arguments is TDS !!! Truth and facts be damned !!!

Just do what Joe did sit back & continue to give money to Ukraine so they can fight against Putin and don't try to talk with him to make any head way if there is a chance at all in the peace process .

He told him he should have never got married to a women with a very high labido because this is what comes of it when you are a NFL kicker it shortens your career by years !!! But dam if it wasn't fun while it lasted ...

I can not wait for the Bills to win a SB so I can tell all those haters that seem to know SOOOO much about football that want to fire Beane and McD to say take that and every chance I get tell them I TOLD YOU SO !! While they all still sit miserable even after winning one sit and complain because they will never be happy even after bringing a Lombardi to Buffalo ...

OMG Beane was such a jerk to pass on this guy what the heck was he thinking ?? I'm being a wise ass of course ...

I don't know what it is but a lot of the QB's that were very successful at USC that have made it to the NFL fall on their face which in a lot of ways doesn't really surprise me . There has really only been a couple that have had good to decent careers but most are no better than a back up QB or practice squad . Carson Palmer is probably the best to come out of there in the last 20 years unless you can tell me any others . I know we had Matt Barkley for a while which was decent but wound up as most being a good back up but the liftoff those that were a bust coming out of USC is much longer than those that have had success in the NFL .

I'M RUNNING OUT AND BUYING ONE !!! IF IT CAN MAKE ME DO ALL THAT STUFF I'M IN ... P.S. Did Jim ever do any commercials ? I can't remember any off the top of my head .

Good riddance to bad rubbish this guy is a total turd with no common sense ... And it's probably because he can see those in NYC putting a complete idiot in the mayors office and he doesn't even agree with his absolute communist views and realizes those voting don't have the brains the good lord gave a piss ant to make a decent decision ...

This is going to be a tough game and given all of the injuries plus the loss of a couple of players that the Bills were depending on like their 1st round pick out, Tre being dinged & not practicing, Benford dinged, Dewayne being a loss for the season I see this as a VERY hard game for the Bills to win . I hate to say it but I see the Ravens winning this one and am glad that it is the opener and the Bills can & will get healthier & better as the year progresses . I'm rooting for our team but they have a lot to overcome GO BILLS !!!

Bellicek kept 5 previous people when hired in NE from Pete Carrols staff, although very rare as you have pointed out, McD did keep Crossman when he was hired I would believe because he did decent job . IMHO which I could be very wrong, I feel that if McD would have had the same defensive coordinator in Schwartz with the same results that Schwartz defense was putting out when Ryan was hired he "MAY HAVE" taken a longer look at it and possibly given Schwartz more rope than Rex did due to the successes that Schwartz had . But Schwartz could see that Rex and his ego was something he couldn't work with and decided to leave which I wish Schwartz would have been given a chance to be HC for a bit of continuity but wasn't given the chance .

Rex's win loss record in 2 seasons was 15 - 16 in a then 8-8 the first season 7-8 the second season which he was fired before the end of that season because of his screw ups if he only needed a bounce here or there I'm sure he wouldn't have been fired before the end of the season but was . Doug Marone coached the Bills to a 9-7 season for goodness sake which was their first winning season in a while but decided to leave of his own decision but Rex with all of his experience couldn't take that team and continue to be better from there .

In your theory this is all well and good but I am willing to bet that if you talk to the players in most instances they will tell you that they didn't make the plays when needed and the coach can only call the plays and then sit and watch and is all on the players from that point forward ... So in your thinking it was Marv's fault that Norwood missed the field goal and should have called a different play given the situation ? And the missed tackles by the players that allowed the Giants to stay on the field was also Marv's fault or that the oppositions coach made his player play better at that point and time in the game ? And to your point if the defensive players don't miss tackles and stop the other team or allow the opposition to stay on the field by doing their job then they are not as gassed and could afford their teams offense to be on the field to score more points and have a better chance at winning the game ?

We will have to disagree because Rex's ego totally out weighed the team he had been given . He had a defense that was basically lights out and a D coordinator that could have if left alone taught Rex a bit about defense but Rex's ego once again tried to take that historically good defenses & change it . Did & screwed the pooch all the way around ! If he would have came in and been a HC and didn't;t think he and his schemes/experience was better than those around him he would have done better for the team because he took a 4/3 defense with those types of players and tried to change it to a 3/4 and we see how that worked . I believe given the same scenario McD would have saw what he had and left it alone allowing Schwartz the freedom to do what he had been because McD's ego wouldn't have gotten in the way and could plainly see success for what it was & left things alone but Rex not so much . And McD took the players that Rex had and in 1 season took them to the play offs when Rex had a 15-16 record in 2 seasons with basically the same players and never sniffed the play offs so the players were there but the coaching was totally different and if I remember the Bills fans were ecstatic that Ryan was hired .

So when does any of this fall on the players ??? Given your reply it's all on the coaches and NONE of it falls on the players yet you said your self in this reply "Kelly kept calling his own number" . Apparently you & I watched the same game but have a difference of opinion on it too because I distinctly remember the Bills D missing tackles that could have allowed the Bills Offense to be back on the field which is on the players not the coach because as you said Thurmon was killing them but didn't have the chance to more often because the offense wasn't on the field ... Well at least you think McD is a good coach .

Sean McDermott record with the Bills (which I know you don't care or respect) 86-45 in the regular season 7-7 in the post season for a combined 93-52 and is 1 of only 2 coaches in the league that has taken his team to the play offs in the last 7 STRAIGHT seasons . I think ya'll have to much Ralph in you !! By chance do you remember how many times it took MJ to get beat by the Pistons until they finally got the rest of the team & mental make up they needed around him to win ? 3 times they lost the division but numerous games and the NFL is 1 & done a little different but as I have said I'm sticking with a winner . The only way I would jump ship is if Josh himself says he's got to go because of some internal loss of confidence in his leadership but Josh is no where near what you all feel and has confidence in his coaches .

How do you figure ? The Bills had 1 point less than the Giants in that game . The Bills D was the reason why the Bills lost that first SB !! The Bills D continually allowed the Giants to stay on the field by missing tackles and not stopping the Giants offense in key situations . The Bills offense scored 1 point less than the Giants and were only on the field if I remember correctly 19 minutes 27 seconds the giants had the ball for a record 40 minutes 33 seconds because the Bills D couldn't stop the Giants hapless offense when needed . Alls the Bills needed was 3 minutes or less more on the field and Knorwwod.s name would have never been mentioned, I remember their RB braking through tackles keeping drives alive that the Bills should have stopped & that was their game to win and gave it away ...

Did McD take this team to their first play offs in 17 yrs with Tyrod Taylor at QB and a bunch of misfit players ? There was no JA 17 one the team that year ... Yes there was a little luck involved which is what this team has had absolutely none of, then having to win games with the refs against you quite possibly the NFL so the Chiefs could make a 3rd SB , certain coordinators making bad calls in the 13 second game, and such . It all starts with the a good leader that has changed the culture and 1 that is in lock step with the GM to bring in players and other coaches to help lead the team to stay winners every season & IMHO that's McD & will be until he decides to leave on his terms not a bunch of arm chair week end warriors that think they know more than a man that has lived every ounce of his life for football . Let's just hire Rex back how bout it ??

No I can't but I unlike most of you haters I will ride with the guy that gives me the best chance year after year instead of gambling on a different HC that will put us in the drink again like Jacksonville has done . As far as McD being a D coach yes but he allows those he has put in those positions to coach those players the freedom to do their job and he himself will take the blunt of it for their failures . I just get sick and tired of all the whining and crying a lot of Bills fans are like the wife that you can never please no matter what you buy her she always wants more . It's like for christ sake enjoy what we got quit your complaining, every year it's the same thing every body else in the NFL notices that McD is one of the best HC's in the league but our fans alls they want to do is criticize no matter how good the team does . Maybe it will sink in a bit more next year when some of ya'll walk into the Brand New Stadium that Mcd& Company helped the Bills get ... But I doubt it .

No but I bet if it would have been with the Bills he would have stayed . After being in the Bills locker room for a half a season all others can't compare and once he got a taste of the vibe in Vegas he was like I'm out this aint gonna work , I'd almost bet on it ...

Then WHO ???????? Name me one, And I want a guarantee that the next guys record would be better and that we would go to a SB !! Do you. remember who else was a defensive coach that whipped our ass every year for 20 yrs ? Can you say Bellicek ?? Oh and the coach that beat us in the first Bills SB against the Giants was a defensive coach so that doesn't hold any water sorry ...

Yes he has and they have been the best years since the 90's but the thing you all seem to forget and want to go back to is what was . Changing a HC, his staff, schemes every 3 yrs to see IF that is the answer you have learned little or nothing at all from the past ...

Can't tell what group you come from I suggest you go root for the Browns for a while then come back and see exactly how good we have it . Yah it sucks that we haven't been to the SB as of yet but the HC can only do so much and the biggest share is on the players . I suppose you are also a Knorwood hater blaming the SB against the giants on his miss instead of seeing the entire picture of how the D let the team down time and time again . I would rather be a part of a winning team every year than what transpired before McD got here . Prior to his arrival as you have apparently forgotten every 3 + years there was a HC ing change, scheme changes, player changes and NO PLAY OFFS AT ALL because there was no stability . I guess as they say you can't make every body happy and as I said you will probably still complain about something if and when they do make it to the big game . Oh and how many teams recently that change coaching staffs go from the bottom to the top and sustain it ?
