What do you mean by hot seat then? Do coaches receive criticism when things go wrong? Yes. In fact you are already ready to, no matter what happens on Sunday. Which is wild in and of itself. The 4th down call, a coaching blunder? what are you talking about? Disagree with the decision, fine. I won't argue the call one way or the other. Unorganized? They came out of a timeout, lined up just fine. We failed to execute. Tennessee did a better job, it is what it is. And to bring that up in the same scenario of the total systemic and organizational failure of what happened in that Dallas game, is absolutely wild.

That run with 14 seconds was absurd. Didn't they confirm that was the call and McCarthy confirmed/OK'd the call on the headset. And they they even practice this play call....without a ref....where the center just spots the ball himself and somebody taps it...Not to mention that the self spotted ball on game day was nearly 2 full yards off the mark..... It is wild that there is a thread about our coaches maybe being on the hot seat with a bad performance, while also comparing it to the biggest coaching blunder of the playoffs so far this year. When Allen throws 3 interceptions in a game, there can be a lot of reasons for it. But I put most of it on the QB...on any team. We have a strong HC who has some leash, who also provides his staff with some leash. Nobody is on the hot seat from a coordinator perspective.

So things are lucky. I firmly believe that. What is up for debate is whether it is some ethereal intervention or just I feel better if I wear, touch, do, some special thing before I do a thing. “if men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences” - Or as Deion says, "look good, feel good. Feel good, play good". Doesn't matter to my why things are lucky, but they are. I also remember going into the AFCCG last year being really upset the Bills wore white on blue pants. Every loss came with blue pants last year, including that game....

I agree. But I didn’t bye them because I am counting my chickens. I bought them because I couldn’t afford to go if I didn’t. Hopefully the universe will notice the difference.

First of all, the only condiment on a standard burger should be mayo. Also mayo is the preferable dipping sauce for fries. I like ketchup. But amazing on burger and fries?

Slightly worried about a TItans win and a Bills loss. Titans v Bengals tickets are 30% cheaper than what I paid. But hoping the mark up for an AFCCG is big. Rooting pretty hard against Tennessee.

I bought both already from Vivid. I figure I will either resell or cancel. But I have tickets for both venues.

That’s my gut feeling. It’s why I have not touched the OU.

This is bull shirt. I just bought a pair of tickets for the AFCCG in Buffalo and Nashville. I have the Titans tickets in my Apple wallet already. I’m actually waiting for my tickets to the Ralph still. I figure I can just resell or cancel without much issue.

With Tre out, I guess we have answered the "who should cover Kelce?" question....probably bracket Hill with Poyer/Hyde.

I mentioned this in the "Make McKenzie a CB" thread. But McKenzie is super valuable to us this week. We should use him like Tyreek at practice and on game day.

I am curious what they mean by "no ticket transfers". Like I can go on StubHub right now and grab a pair of tickets to that game. Does that just mean I won't physically receive them until Friday but can purchase now?

As much as I want this to be about Buffalo..... Cincinnati is only 4 hours from Nashville. That would be like the Bills playing in Albany this week. I am sure Bengals fans are going nuts to get to this game. Imagine the Bills in 2017, they break the drought, beat Jacksonville, then their next game is in Pittsburgh. We would have gone nuts!

Not to sound condescending, but… This is how the entire season has gone. We lead the league in point differential and are also 0-5 in single possession games (with one big loss to Indy). The 2021-22 Bills haven’t won a single close game.

You are right, I pulled this from the other thread. 4-2: White jersey - White pants - Losses to Pittsburgh and Tampa - Notable wins over NE 2.0 and KC 0-2: White jersey - Blue pants - Loses to Tennessee and Jacksonville - No wins 1-0: Blue jersey - Blue pants - No loses - Win over New Orleans 6-2: Blue jersey - White pants - Loses to Indy and New England - Blow outs over NYJ, Houston, and Miami 1.0 1-0: Red jersey - Red pants - No loses - Win over Carolina Bills are 4-4 in white jerseys and 8-2 in Blue/Red.

Just to complete 2021: 4-2: White jersey - White pants - Losses to Pittsburgh and Tampa - Notable wins over NE 2.0 and KC 0-2: White jersey - Blue pants - Loses to Tennessee and Jacksonville - No wins 1-0: Blue jersey - Blue pants - No loses - Win over New Orleans 6-2: Blue jersey - White pants - Loses to Indy and New England - Blow outs over NYJ, Houston, and Miami 1.0 1-0: Red jersey - Red pants - No loses - Win over Carolina EDIT: Sorry for anybody reading this on mobile. I definitely posted this on my computer and formatted it cleanly from there. Just saw my own post on mobile and it is a mess.

Our winningest jersey combo, I will take it! I mean, I think we all know the blue pants should never be worn again, but I am not aware of the jersey data.

That is the biggest concern for sure.

There is a third, or a 2b. This will be his first position where he absolutely is the back up. Is Fitz done trying to compete for a starting role? TEN - Lockers last year. HOU - Keenum and Mallet NYJ - Geno Smith insurance TB - Jameis Winston insurance MIA - Starter out of camp WAS - Starter until injured.

Like a fist fight? No, what am I, 13 years old? I haven't gotten in a fist fight since college. Have I ever had very heated debates? Of course. (Ironically that fist fight was with the UB Football team. At the time they were trash, and historically been trash. All pre-Turner GIll. Anyways it was 5am good decision making by college kids. Some guys were hanging outside the dorm and asked if we wanted to play football while we were getting home from the bars. We were casually like "Sure why not, we have some big dudes with us". One kid piped up, "We are gonna kick your ass, we are on the football team"....Drunk 18 year old Mango responded with "Who cares, you guys won 2 games last year, you suck".....They ended up following us up to our dorm room, getting more guys, and literally kicking in the door. One kid was knocked unconscious. There were holes in the wall and broken bottles. It was a mess. We got community service and the football team got.....nothing. Decades later that still leaves a bad taste in my mouth with UB)

I came to say this, bone bruises are no joke, like at all. I rowed, raced team Canada, and went through selection camp for the world rowing championships on a broken rib. That was super painful, but pain management was possible. A few years later I got a bone bruise on my foot playing soccer...Jesus, I could not walk right for months, it was brutal. I can't imagine trying to make cuts like Lamar.

I think Mitch was supposed be what Allen eventually became. Trubisky is the poor mans Allen. DJ is the poor mans MT. Which given the poor draft coming up, makes all of this much more interesting. Schoen to NYG< bringing Daboll and Mitch.... What about moving Barkley to SS?

We just need to get through this offseason and keep our own at the moment. 2023 is a big FA year for us. Notable are Knox, Singletary, Morse, Ed Oliver (5th year), Poyer, and Edmunds. Plus a looming expensive extension for Diggs. Special mention for Dane Jackson, his contract will be dependent on what we do with Wallace after this season. Spotrac is estimating we have $70M free including $10M from this years roll over. I would be shocked if they let Poyer walk, he will command $15M, Edmunds hopefully gets something done in the $12-13M range, Oliver will take $10, if we are lucky we get Knox in the $8-10M range. That leave us ~$25M to make some other moves and extend Diggs. Getting more production from the DE's we drafted will be important going forward. Long and short, if we can hit this draft and nail this years roster changes, I think we can solidify a window of another 3-5 years.

Just wait until Hughes lines up at RB. Suddenly that Chandler Jones match up isn’t so crazy.

Ok so hear me out further. This game is basically first team to 100. Defense doesn’t matter. With Josh switching to TE, Poyer was a HS QB. Do we think we will win by 50 or 60 if we put Poyer behind center? I think the Bills are 0-2 or 0-3 when Allen catches the ball. Hard pass.
