  1. That's being kind. Chaos has not actual cited any examples of McD's, or Beane's "offseason whining."
  2. 13 seconds and the Cincy game has to be weighed against a slew of odd adversities (including Hamlin, Knox’s brother) numerous key injuries (including Allen’s elbow), a first-year OC, and still a 14-4 record. And you also can’t just discount the post Rex Ryan/Doug Whaley rebuild, which has become a league blueprint for how to build a winning culture. The Bills would have to experience an actual step backwards to put McDermott (or Beane, for that matter) in the hot seat, in my opinion.
  3. They blew it with “The Commanders.” Washington Americans. Perfect team name for the nation’s capital. Bring back the Native American insignia. Everyone’s happy.
  4. I just did it for the Bills. It had us going 9-8, and losing twice to the Pats*. Dang...
  5. This is a disturbing little stat, but there does seem to be some context missing. The Bills have a much better three-year record than the other three. Does this stat include playoff games? And how many of these games were wins, or losses?
  6. It's Mitch Morse's fault. Dion asked him if those shorts made his ass look fat, and Mitch deflected.
  7. Youth flag football (pre-high school) has actually exploded in the last couple years. The NFL (along with their Play 60 program) has actually been doing a great job with this. Hopefully it translated to high school football programs.
  8. I think you're right.
  9. On a game by game basis, sure, it's maybe not such a huge deal-- especially early in the season. But, the real question is (and I'm not saying I know the answer): Does Aaron Rodgers' 12 additional days of rest over the league average (and Josh Allen) have a cumulative effect as the season wears on? Do those 12 additional days, sporadic though they may be, make for a healthier Aaron Rodger come week 18? And, if so, at what point does that cumulative effect become significant? EDIT: As I think about this, I would also think that if there is a cumulative effect of rest days for an aging QB, it would likely be more advantageous for Rodgers, as they have an early, week seven bye. It would be less of an issue for Allen, and the Bills having a much later, week 13 bye, which would, at least to some degree, negate the necessity for additional rest days going into the end of the regular season. Or something...
  10. I'm going to agree with @RiotAct and predict that there will be a lot of Bills fans at SoFi, just like there was last year for the Rams season opener. GO BILLS!
  11. I couldn't believe how fast the available tickets for the Dec. 23 Bills at Chargers were getting snatched up here in LA.
  12. Seems a little odd to me that the Bills will be "hosting" the Jags in London on 10/8, when the Jags will have already been there for over a week, and have already played the week prior in London. Seems like they should be the home team at that point.
  13. A week 13 bye...! I'm not even sure how I feel about that. I guess it's a good thing... until it isn't...
  14. For anyone in a mood to be horrified: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=125824877154560
  15. I've always admired his attitude. From the time we brought him in as a UDFA, he fought endlessly for his position on the team, and really made the most of his opportunities. But, it's all going to depend on what color shorts he's wearing.
  16. I'm all for kicking the tires, absolutely.
  17. Maybe ask Josh first? Just because he knows him doesn't mean he likes him...
  18. From what Beane has said in interviews (for as much as that's worth), I think they'd love to have Dorian Williams end up as Mike, but it seems unlikely until later in the season (if at all). If this poll is for week one, I guess I'd have to go with Klein.
  19. I live and work on Los Angeles in the motion picture industry (currently shut down for the writer's strike), and there's a lot of concern for how AI is going to affect the industry, and how many jobs it's going to swallow up. Someone had an AI program come up with a beer commercial, (link below). For context, this commercial is 100% AI produced-- no director, no writers, no editors, no actors, no locations, no camera, and no other guidance other than "make a beer commercial." It's horrifying. Even without any context at all it's horrifying. But the really scary thing is that this is the technology moving forward. As bad, and bizarre as this thing is, the tech only gets better from here, and it's not going away. I may need to retire. https://www.facebook.com/ssavaart/videos/a-beer-ad-made-100-with-ai/125824877154560/
  20. We'll be the first team in history to run 40, or 41 personnel.
  21. I think this is all basically correct, but I disagree with the idea that the WR room is "settled." I think those six candidates are the likely outcome, but... I have to wonder if Davis' designation as a "lock" hasn't slipped? Certainly, all the recent acquisitions will be given a chance to compete, and if Davis has a weak TC, could he find himself battling for his position with the likes of Sherfield, or Shorter. Even Tyrell Shavers, to some degree, could put some pressure on Davis roster spot. If Shavers makes the 53 on his ST acumen, that starts to make for a crowded WR room. Also, the Bills have often gone with five WRs. With two TEs, and two RBs who are legit receiving threats, I could see the pressure really ramping up on Davis.
  22. The idea of Diggs being "double teamed all the time" is hyperbolic. But that stat-line above is anecdotal, and ignores a lot of context. If it's a run play, or RPO with a handoff, and Diggs is on the field, he won't be double-covered. If it's a 4 WR set, he probably won't be double-covered. If the opposing defense is blitzing, he probably won't be double-covered. If the opposing D has an elite corner, he probably won't be double-covered. But the fact that Diggs (according to that stat line) is the third most double-covered WR in the league perfectly exemplifies why we need a far better #2 than we currently appear to have.
  23. I was going to follow this thread, and I never got around to until now. Could someone please give me a synopsis of the last (--checks the page index--) 225 pages?
  24. I've convinced myself that Beane is going to go for BPVA, the pick will most likely not have been on anyone's radar, and the complaint rate on here will be anywhere from 20% to 80%. Also, there will be some very dishonest posters who will claim to have been following "the kid," and know everything about him, even though they secretly only know what they've read, and seen on the highlight reel.
