What an absolute Billsy way to lose a game. PR, and Late hit out of bounds?!

Wish we could have taken care of business last week. This chiefs team is on life support.

That throw to Chase was like a Hail Mary. Underthrow into double coverage. Wow.

Great hire. Should have never been fired in Denver. That said, that two-high safety defense is a lot easier to play against now, IMO.

I hear ya. my son’s 8th birthday party is today. I told him how after my 9th birthday party, we all watched the Bills lose to the Browns on the Ronnie Harmon drop, and someone threw something at the wall, putting a hole in it. So, they won’t have that same post-birthday party experience tonight.

It really is bizarre how Moss sort of fell off. If you look at the early part of last season, he was our best back. He was huge in the regular season win over the chiefs, including catching balls out of the backfield. No idea what happened.

People can bellyache about Beane. But nothing beats the stupidity of the Bills desperately needing a DT, having Ngata fall into their laps, and passing on him for a terrible safety in Donte Whitner. Glad we aren’t back in that era!

What a mess of a game against Va Tech.

It was a smart pick. He fits the profile of what they look for at LB. I suspect he just ended up rawer than anticipated, and has a steeper learning curve.

Heard this the other day, and thought it was great. Ann Landers said it! "At age 20, we worry about what others think of us. At age 40, we don’t care what they think. At age 60, we discover that they have not been thinking of us at all."

I may give it a chance with my kids now on the Switch. I never could play it back in the day— would always make me dizzy, and I was more of a Madden guy.

I was clamoring for it on the day they drafted him! On draft day, Beane said it would be easier to start him at CB and move him to safety. They needed to do this in camp, IMO.

you can’t beat that, especially if it is $50 after taxes and fees. I am going to call to cancel for real here soon, and if they offer me that, I probably will stay for a bit.

“Excuses are the nails that build the house of failure.”

I will say that if I had to guess, in the end, the decision maybe had little to do with what you or I are saying. It could be the case that the bills really wanted Hodgins and banked on hodgins not getting poached when they tried to PS him again, but miscalculated. I do think though that in the end, the roster decision-making reflects overemphasizing ST.

I give the Bills a pass on a lot of stuff, but this one sticks in my craw. You could clearly see flashes from Hodgins. Conversely, Kumerow has been in the league 5 years and has caught like 20 passes. He is nothing more than a ST guy. The team had no depth on the outside receiver position, especially at the time they released Hodgins after the packers game. And they decided to go ST over offense, leaving themselves thin at receiver. And then Kumerow gets injured anyway. Plus, he is a free agent and Hodgins is on a rookie deal for two more years. Just not a good decision at all.

It was a total blunder both then and after the fact. Kumerow offered nothing on offense. They prioritized ST over offense, and it was a foolish decision. It’s also not even like they didn’t know what they had in Hodgins— when he played the few times, he looked good. I love McBeane, but they make mistakes (as everyone does). This was a mistake.

I am sure the Bills are kicking themselves for letting Hodgins walk and instead keeping Kumerow, esp since he ended up with this injury and not playing.

I love this thread because it allows Me to tell my one Urlacher story. I was on a flight from Philly to Chicago, and slept the whole time. Woke up and realized that the guy sitting next to me/across the aisle was Urlacher. I only figured it out when the young female flight attendant started hitting on him and gave him her phone number. It was a really awkward and embarrassing interaction for him too.

Is this just based on his own pure speculation?

I came in here to post this meme, but you have admirably taken care of it for me.

I was clamoring since the day he was drafted to move Benford to safety. I actually thought they drafted him for that reason. On the coaches for not trying him there earlier. He could have been used a lot late down the stretch.

They played like people that have dealt with snow for the last few months and know how to walk gingerly on the sidewalk so as not to slip.
