Thank god I stopped in this morning; now I know exactly what's going on with this team.

There’s something different about McD this season…
eball replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall
Ok, perhaps I phrased the premise poorly…there’s something different in the way he is publicly speaking about the team. I think, in general, it also goes to show that fan comments are almost always completely off the mark because fans have no idea what is going on behind the scenes. They make knee-jerk reactions and dumb (IMO) statements like “the Bills win in spite of him.” He’s not perfect but what coach is? Do folks love Sirianni in Philly? They look awful. How about Reid in KC right now, or Harbaugh in Baltimore? Those guys have excuses made for them constantly, and McD never gets the benefit of the doubt from our own fans. I’m always torn about even coming here because the Bills are absolutely part of my identity but I can’t stand so many of their fans. -
…and I don’t mean the eyeglasses. I know he has always talked about the Bills being a “tough” football team, but he has really ramped up the toughness aspect in nearly every locker room speech or interview I’ve seen. It’s almost as if he has single-handedly willed this team to be mentally and physically tough. He knows he already had that guy in 17, but the entire team has now taken on the mentality of overcoming adversity through toughness. I view it as yet another progression in Sean’s growth as a leader and head coach.

How do we feel about Higgins playing most of the game concussed?
eball replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
Players need to be protected from themselves. This is on the NFL and the Bengals' medical staff, because it was obvious Higgins smacked his head hard on the turf at least twice, and the fact he was "evaluated" and allowed to return is a complete joke. -
Ok, appreciate the breakdown. I got my info from an ESPN article by Graziano this morning, so he has it wrong as well.

I think this is wrong. If the Pats*** beat Baltimore they would still own the tiebreaker over the Bills even if they lose to the Jets or Fish. Edit: here are the tiebreakers, with my comments should the Pats*** and Bills both finish 13-4 and the Pats*** lose to either NYJ or MIA: To Break A Tie Within A Division If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined. Two Clubs Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs) -- this would be even Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. -- this would be even Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. -- Pats*** win this tiebreaker, 10-2 vs. 11-3 Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. Strength of victory in all games. Strength of schedule in all games Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best net points in common games. Best net points in all games. Best net touchdowns in all games. Coin toss

For the Bills to win the East they must win out and the Pats*** must lose two of their other three games. The tiebreakers are not in our favor so we need a better record straight up. It’s doable though…after us they face a desperate Ravens team, followed by Jets and Miami (who might still be in the hunt for a WC). NE has faced essentially no adversity this season, but the pressure level is about to ratchet up to 11 real quick.

If New England wins (Next Week), they officially win the East.

They won't win. -
Has to move to 4:00 window or prime time…

Cleveland screwed me. Should’ve taken Miami. Was totally right not taking Bucs.

Game week thread - Bengals at Bills (flexed to 1pm ET)
eball replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
With Hendrickson still out, there’s no excuse for the Bills not putting up 30+ in this one. The game result all depends on which Buffalo defense shows up and the offense not turning it over. -

Doubt it will be an issue since the international sites want these games... -
