My eyes tell me that our guys stopped playing disciplined ball at the bye. They got a lot of accolades as a top-3 defense. So they started playing hero-ball. You know, freelancing for the big highlight. The whole thing quickly came apart. That’s what happens when you forget what got you there. defensive “schemes” are not what makes a D good. NFL defenses are all the same anyhow. Only the disguises are different and they change week-to-week. That’s why you can’t blame coaching on the Bills or anyone else. At this level it’s all on the players and how they execute their assignments. Unfortunately, it takes a swift kick in the pants to get your guys back on track. I’m not sure we’re at that point yet in the Bills’ locker room.

Baron had his head in his ass on that play anyway.

I don’t think a coach, any coach, can make a player play smart. They can bark in their ear all day long. If the guys don’t play disciplined ball it’s on them and them alone.

Get a grip. How about realizing our front 7 couldn’t get a stop.

Maybe Santa will replace him in time for Christmas Eve.

Wow. What an a$$.

Great minds....

We did. Unfortunately it was our guy.

Whose got the best defense now baby?

The Bills were a few minutes late as well. ?

One of the things that I remember about this was, because of our outstanding defense many prognosticators believed that the Bills were the only team that could have had a chance against Lombardi's Packers. Of course there was no way to ever know for sure. So, in the very early days of computers, some group of students decided to run the '65 Packers vs the '65 Bills on one of the early mainframe computers. As I remember, it took a few weeks to compile the data and create the simulation but they did it. Something like 3 out of 4 times, the Bills beat the Packers. Unfortunately, the following year our untimely loss to the Chiefs in the 1966 AFL championship game ended up costing the world from ever knowing for sure. Of course, Saban left, Cookie was gone and the rest, as they say, is history.

Having sat through every one of those games, I can tell you that the things that made the 1964 Bills team great are the same things that make some of us excited to have Sean McDermott driving the future of the Bills today. They were a family and played for each other. Coach Saban was the right guy for that locker room, even when Cookie went rogue. When Glenn Bass went down, the next guy stepped up. Interestingly enough, half the fans wanted Saban fired like they want McDermott fired now. I sat through many refrains of "Goodbye Saban" during those years. Many fans were calling for Jackie Kemp to be benched in favor of Daryl Lamonica. Yet, we were winning championships. Same things as we are reading here today. I guess it's just the nature of Bills fans. Always whining, complaining and wanting this guy or the next guy fired. In retrospect, I would imagine that most fans would give their left nut to win another championship like we did in '64 and 65. From where I sit, I see the 2019 Bills in the same light as I saw the 1963 Bills. Close, but not there yet. A coach, staff and foundation of personnel ready to turn the corner and win a couple championships. Let's not lose sight of such great possibilities by calling for the QB to be benched and singing for the coach to be fired. In 1964 Kemp ended up being AFL MVP and Lou Saban was AFL coach of the year. This in spite of the fans calling for their demise throughout that time. Perhaps history can indeed repeat itself and 2020 will be 1964 for the Bills. It appears that way to me.

So why would WGR hire a guy like this to cover the Bills then? This game is supposed to be fun!

And I'll ask the same question here as I asked Leo Roth and Jerry Sullivan a few years back. Why in the world would you continue to bite the hand that feeds you? I get that these guys think that it's good radio to stir up the animals. I also get that you guys don't like Murph and Chris Brown because they frame commentary to be beneficial to the team. But why for Christ's sake do people feel the need to generate so much hate for the coaches, players and management of the team we all supposedly love? It makes no sense to me.

Teams will only utilize such a formation if they have a former Olympic long jumper that would rather be training for a track meet. So, no that's the last you'll see of it.

Too much money makes you do stupid things.

Whatever it ended up as, you’re wrong.

Allen moved the team down the field to a position where we could at least tie. What else do you have to disprove that?

You’re correct. Baker is an arrogant asshat while Josh is a hardworking guy who is trying to improve himself.

I try to be fair and balanced, although my wife disagrees. ?

Yes. How about you? We’ll be right over.

And yet KC still lost. This is a team game. The Bills are no different from the Chiefs in that regard.

Might it have something to do with Ken Dorsey? What are they teaching him to do? Josh doesn’t look anything like he did last year at this time. Some for the better and some for the worse.

I have a killer instinct. I feel like killing half the posters in the GDT.

It starts with F.
