  1. That’s one opinion. I - like many here - would rather have the information. Often times it’s not too difficult to figure out what is happening. A couple very well informed posters here seem to have done that. But I don’t believe a lack of full picture is what is really bothering some people. I think their issue is that a Bills beat writer said that there is a problem with the team. True or not, they don’t want to hear that.
  2. Respecting the people you are connected with keeps you well connected. He probably said all he could at this time without damaging some of those relationships. He gave us what he could when he could.
  3. Agree on all points. Nice list. If this is a bad weather game the good news is that Cleveland is the right team to find your running game against. The bad news is that they’re the wrong team against whom to defend the run. The Bills should win, but they need to take care of the ball.
  4. I think a LB was in the throwing lane.
  5. Agree on both. Peterson had position even if Davis would have flattened the route or tried to come back. The throw had to be high and left so only Davis had a chance. No reason to place it where he did. The correct read was Morris who was wide open. @Reed83HOF mentioned Josh focusing on the two receivers he trusts in crunch time. It makes sense that he only looked for Diggs and Davis and tried to force it to one of them.
  6. Last I heard the police were still dragging their feet and the girl’s lawyer was suing to get their findings released to the public.
  7. Allow me to piggyback some additional unconfirmed speculation onto that. There was a complaint by an unnamed player shortly after the KC playoff loss. He said that McD preaches accountability and demands it from the players, but does not walk the talk himself. McD dodging accountability for what happened at the end of that game seemed to be what brought up the statement. I don’t know how much truth there is to it in general, but it certainly seemed true in that instance. I don’t really watch many pressers. How has McDermott been as far as taking responsibility for the recent losses?
  8. Not the best game to have this happen. Cleveland can run the ball.
  9. Instead of pretending to take the high road and acting like you’re better than a bunch of posters you won’t even name, why not simply respond to their comments if what they’re typing is so bad? Why grandstand with a new thread and the holier-(fan-)than-thou BS? And, sure, a handful of posters went off the rails - some of whom are surely trolls. But I’ve seen a lot more people giving their thoughts on how to fix things than saying Allen sucks. I’ve also seen some of the blame put on other people who should share it too - OL, coaches, FO, etc. Allen chose to be an NFL QB and reap the rewards of that. He also signed up for the criticism and scrutiny that goes along with it.
  10. My daughter did not wear her Diggs socks. She didn’t wear them for Miami either. Can’t blame me - I kept the Bills dog bandannas away from my dogs.
  11. That’s a smart place for that line to be set. I’d stay away and bet the money line instead.
  12. Confident in a win. I don’t even know what the spread is, but you can count in the Browns to lose a close one so I will keep my money in my pocket ATS. Biggest worry is Garrett blasting Allen.
  13. The offense gave up one of the TDs.
  14. Shanny is the best offensive mind in the NFL. Allen would be a dream come true for him. Daboll should have been on the list.
  15. When we went up 27-10 with less than 2 min left in the 3rd I said “That’s game. We’re up 3 scores so all we have to do is take care of the ball and hope nothing crazy happens.” After the 81 yard TD run I said “Well, that sucks, but we still win if we take care of the ball and play decent football.” We turned the ball over 3 times after that, including the fumble in our own EZ. The long TD run wasn't great, but turnovers are the biggest reason we lost. Incidentally, the Bills are one turnover away from having the most in the NFL. Our defense is also one away from having the most takeaways. LINK The defense is doing its job very well in this regard, the offense is not. You just can’t expect to win a championship turning the ball over like that.
  16. I made a size mistake on a cashmere sweater once. It was over 15 years ago. Never gonna do that again.
  17. I think you’re trying to get @TheBeaneBanditmurdered
  18. So your strategy would be to try to outscore the Vikings? Interesting….. (Sorry, I’m just kidding around. I know what you mean.)
  19. A Josh Allen thread about his favorite color could go 110+ pages on this board. And, no, even if the team was 100% sure he wasn’t playing he wouldn’t be ruled out publicly. I don’t know if he’s playing or not, but why would they give the Vikings a heads up on that?
  20. I never said it was. The AG is bringing their suit based on their consumer protection laws, which they claim were violated. That is definitely right in line with an AG’s job.
  21. My feelings about Snyder are not important. His actions and the impact of those actions on the people in DC and in the football team he owns are what’s important. I understand that. Do you understand that the AG for DC only works for the residents of DC, not the residents of the entire US?
  22. Sure, but the AG for DC only represents the people of that district, not the whole US. There is a US AG that does that.
  23. Chub and Hunt are a worry. Cook has not been his usual self this season. He has been very pedestrian. His yards after contact/carry are right on league average. I’m hopeful we can limit him this Sunday.
  24. In dark times it often helps to find a silver lining in tragedy. But sometimes there isn’t one.
