Mister Defense

Poor guy, another tough break for him. Soo dedicated, soo talented, yet not appreciated. After all of his hard work, dedication, diligent prep during the week for the game, and great play calling, he was fired by the Bills. Now this same work ethic and high level skills mean nothing, again, for dorsey. Just like in Buffalo, a scapegoat once again, like many on this board recognized after he was fired. It was McClappy that was, and is, the problem. If Brady gets a head coaching job of course the Bills should consider hiring dorsey for another round, to work his magic here again.

Ray Davis runs like a madman, and shows what he could do as a receiver too. But the Bills don't beat them and let them get a King's bounty in next year's draft.

Funny how so many seemed to have gone with the conventional wisdom, often based on the wisdom of national analysts who don't know what they are talking about, who do not actually watch many of the games that we do, that we see every year, and don't understand how superb this head coach, GM, and players have been, consistently. Next--be great to see one of the predict the AFC East and AFC threads from before the season now. How many actually bought into the ludicrous theory, CW, that the rodgers led jets! would best the Bills?

Bills 30, rodgers' wreck 20 The Bills should do what they have been doing--run and throw to runners. No need to play our star running backs much, Cook and Johnson, so give us a slew of Davis. He comes through again. But they also have some fun with the passing game, getting Coleman and Cooper more involved so ready for the playoffs. (If Josh throws much which is a big if to me..) Defensive line looks good against a poor o line and this causes more turnovers.

Oh, maybe instead of that, just write what it is the anniversary of? Confusing to add that at the end. But great news! Good timing.

Great--the red from last week should never be used again. Auction those costumes off and give the money to charity. I kept thinking the Bills were the pats and visa versa. I think the Bills were themselves confused by the strange, other-team costumes through much of the first half.

What is a BTW?

But it looks like he is incapable of "cutting it loose" physically any more. He looks old and slow and almost all of the burst, quickness, and moves he had are gone. Hope you are right and I am wrong. He should take some kind of special energy supplement during the playoffs to end strong, as this is likely his last season.

They did not do this in the first half yesterday, got anxious when they fell behind and all but abandoned their best play--being a physical running team, and then the complimentary football improves dramatically from there. But they then returned to their base, the running game, and everything changed. And they threw the ball to their running backs, again, and more so. Keep doing that and this team is, like I have said, almost unbeatable. Great to see Brady is now doing what he has not done enough this year, and it is enabling the Bills to take that championship step forward.

The Bills continue to do what I have calling for them to do for the last few years, which I believe will make them a championship team--run the ball and use the backs more, all of them. Last week it was the run game that set up the pass game, as once they run very well, with one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game, they are unstoppable, even with defensive limitations. This week I want more of the same. Ray Davis takes the lead? They have the best running backs in the league, and the best groups of receiving backs. THAT, as yet somewhat untapped potential, continues to be the recipe for domination--and growth. Bills 31, Pats 17, with lotsa big defensive plays at home as well.

Stroud has seemed a little on the feminine side to me, so I was not surprised at how emotional he became. While it does show that the team is close, or some of the team, it also was not a great look for Stroud in this important game, at that vital time in the game. Since Stroud repeatedly pointed to how much happier Diggs was now that he was in Houston I have less respect for him. But I think he will become a great player if he loses the emotion to some degree, though I am rooting for him less.

This post will continue to be as sharp and legitimate in the coming weeks, and months, and years, as it was on the day he posted it. Soo uncanny how the Bills blow literally almost every "game of the year." Year after year after year after.... Who could ever argue against it, that the Bills, when playing in what the media calls a "game of the year", have almost no chance to win? (Maybe just cut out "almost"?) And his choices for games of the year, such as the Hail Murray game, and Bucs game, though the Bills were @500 at the time, show just how objective, and astute, the OP is. No filtering his logic through hate and animosity as some tend to do on this board. Pure objectivity, just pointing out the obvious facts, facts no one can argue against. I cannot think of one game in the last five years under McClappy when the Bills won a so called "game of the year" in this span, including this year. They cannot win a big game under this coach if their lives depended on it. Time to have serious discussions now on whether the clap master will EVER win a big, important, "game of the year".

The scary thing is the OP very likely thinks this is real..

Yuk, what an awful thought, the Bills without the natural elements. It is part of this town, part of this team. Sooo happy the Bills made the right decision and kept the lid off the new stadium.

Last week I said the Bills needed to get "hit in the mouth", as they have not been challenged enough this year and need to toughen up for the playoff run. Hopefully it would come in a win. Their defense did get smashed in the mouth and the Bills lost. This week they need to prove that they can beat a high level offense, and on the road, and maybe the best team in the league. After last week the Bills looked like they needed several weeks to prepare for this powerhouse offense--but instead they lost a vital practice day and vital players. But it is HUGE game for the Bills, a team that I think has a dramatically better opportunity with a bye and home field advantage. I believe with a win today the Bills will win out and get the #1 seed. If not, if their defense cannot hold up, again, then it may be a short playoff run. Then a laser like focus on the defensive line in the off season. More running, more of all of the running backs, some big plays on defense, a key turnover or three, and the passing game will look good with key players back. So, Bills 31, lions 24

The article is wrong if it states that. In fact, it would probably not be a great fact for Ward if that were true.

I believe you are wrong, and that Ward took 4 games or so off. He did not play the week after that tragedy.

The Bills wisen up and finally actually commit to the run, and getting the backs more involved, and in more creative ways. Cook and/or Davis, though Johnson seems to make a very positive play every time he touches the ball.

I'm confused--did he give that poor woman a buffalo?

Wow, that is awful, exceedingly embarrassing, to the point I am shocked you posted it. My own embarrassing mistaken name confusion is not nearly as bad. Up until yesterday, with the announcement on here that it was Hailey Steinfeld's birthday, I had thought Josh Allen's girlfriend/finance was Jerry Seinfeld's daughter, and not the actress. She is a real actress, talented too. True Grit, Edge of Seventeen etcetera. And at over 22 million net worth is likely not into Josh because of his mega money. Go Josh!

Unfortunately your post loses credibility when you say Nakua is "not that good", but offer no support for that contention, a key element in your reasoning. He played one full year in the NFL and had 105 catches, 1,486 yards, at 14.2 yards per catch. By any objective standard that indicates he is an excellent receiver, and definitely no one who knows about football would ever say he "is not that good". He made many excellent catches, some superlative, and sometimes with excellent defensive coverage. Yes, the Bills definitely need to figure some things out on defense, and quickly, to play better defense against the best offense in the league this coming Sunday. But the Rams likely HOF quarterback and kick a** receivers played their best game of the year. Hopefully you don't also consider Kupp "not that good"!

Consistently ignoring all of the good in something to "so you can hope or believe in something" so consistently irrationally negative, is much worse than what you accuse the poster of.

How dare you offer a more realistic, positive, optimistic outlook, like the one above, in the face of so much irrational negativity in the wake of one loss? Shame on you.

What a silly willfully ignorant OP He chooses losses and calls all of those the "games of the year" and ignores the many actual games of the year, such as the one just a few weeks ago against the Chiefs, just to make the nonsensical bash-the- Bills point. And the game of the week last year, for the division against the Dolphins? And Etcetera etcetera etcetera..... The Bills come through over and over and over again under McDermott. But in this OP the games of the year are the Bills' few losses, that is how he determines if they are games of the year. Willful and comical ignorance. "Uncanny" only if you cherry pick in an extremely negative, illogical way. How the heck was the game against the Cardinals, the hail Mary game, a game of the year? No one was saying that at the time--NO one. Chosen here just because it was a Bills' loss. And redefined now as a "game of the year". Since 2020 the Bills have a 14-3 record in December, coming through almost every time, in one big, vital game after another. That is uncanny, not this drivel pushed in the OP.

Not true, not a done deal, but the OP states it definitively. Seems unlikely just based on that short reading on it. Very misleading.
