Freddie's Dead

That is *****in' ice cold.

Wow, that's some absolutely unwearable merch.

Buy: Sell: McDummy, time to get out with some value, this one's going to the basement. Hold: JP Allen. Still solid value. Stock will rocket back if Bills install a real coaching staff.

What can this thing be that I've found (a running game)?

Congratulations again to last week's winner @BuffaloBillyG! This week, the Bills come back home to host Russ Wilson and the Denver Broncos on MNF. The Bills are 2-2 in prime time games and 4-0 at home (don't give me any ***** about London). While I've lost all faith in our coaching staff, I'm still squarely in the "In Josh We Trust" camp. I think we come out strong, and the defense gonna chase Russ around a bit as he "rides". A rowdy home game on MNF gets us right, and Rockin' Randall Hank gives us the boost we need.

Burrow was singin' soprano for about 10 minutes after that.

Billy Batts.

Just say no to cheats.

I'm on board with this. When Martin isn't dropping it inside the 20, he's kicking right down the middle and opening us up to big returns. Let's bring back Punt God. He was unfairly accused, and the Bills should make it right.

WILLLSONNNNN!!!!! Man, that thread title....

Peter Pocklington says hi.

These guys combined don't equal McKittrick, and he would have only cost 25% of what we're paying these wastes.

McDummy needs to be gone. If it takes missing the playoffs to do that, then I'm for it, because this team is going nowhere as long as this idiot remains in charge. His in-game decisions against the Bengals were so bad that I would have fired him when the clock hit :00 at the end of the 4th QTR. He should have been fired for 13 seconds. Sacking him at this point would simply be correcting that mistake.

Too many options. Dosey sucks would have sufficed.

Can't wait for another "We screwed up Buffalo, sorry" letter from the NFL.

I'm rooting for the Jest. The only way we move forward is getting rid of McDummy. Finishing 3rd in the AFC East and missing the playoffs just may be the way to do it.

Dane Jackson was the best defensive player for the Bills yesterday, and it wasn't close for second place. 3 PDs that I counted.

I'm like Randy Quaid in the middle of Major League 2....

No, refs would have continued to screw us using extra crunchy peanut butter with glass shards for lube.

A thoughtful post. Who are you, and what have you done with @corta765?

That was Dick Jauron.

Translation: Don't blame me for my idiot coach calling the plays.

This^^^^. The Bills went toe-to-toe with the best team in the AFC and came up just short because they couldn't overcome incompetent reffing and coaching. This was not the 2022 playoff game. They came in ready, answered the initial Bengals TD with one of their own, and generally hung tough as the defensive injuries continued to mount.

Agree with all the above, but would make some changes/adds: The Ugly: Some of the worst officiating I've ever seen in an NFL game, and all the missed/bad calls went one way. On the first Bengals drive, the refs ignored two blatant DOG penalties. The tripping tackle which injured Kincaid, 15 yards missed, followed by the IG on Josh, WHEN HE WAS NOT UNDER PRESSURE (read the rules refs, it's your *****in' job; never saw that call made on any other QB). Those last two calls kept at least 3, likely 7 points off the board for the Bills. The RTP on Tim Settle was ridiculous, he turned Burrow over when he tackled him, did not land on him at all. Huge call that helped the Bengals score their second TD. Next missed call was the facemask on Gabe Davis, which took 4 points off the board for the Bills. They missed the call on the Sherfield catch (the challenge we'll get to in a bit), and finally, the piece de resistance, ignoring Higgins holding Josh Norman at the point of attack for Mixon's first down run that iced the game. McDummy was in fine form last night. The total capitulation at the end of the first half, when there was time for Josh to make at least two Hail Mary heaves into the EZ was a fireable offense all by itself. If I'm a player on the team, I know at that point that my coach does not fight and claw for every single point, having no faith in his players to come through under pressure. It was a complete puss move. 3rd and 10, offensive holding, McDummy declines the penalty and allows the Bengals to attempt a 55 yard FG. I got really upset because McDummy lost us a game a few years ago when he declined a 3rd down penalty and allowed an opposing FG attempt, which was made. When questioned after the game, he said he ***** up and would make a different decision, in hindsight. Unfortunately, he seems to have forgotten this incident, because he's done it twice this season. The Bengals kicker made the kick, but McDummy was bailed out by a FS penalty. He's simply unable to learn from his mistakes, because he makes the same ones over and over again. For those who were so scared of the Bengals converting a 3rd and 20, look up the percentages for a 55 yard FG vs. a 3rd and 20 conversion. 55 yard FG's are not the coin flip they used to be. And at last, we come to the challenge. 90% of this board thinks that the challenge was bad because it was unlikely to be overturned. That's correct, but misses the point entirely. Winning the challenge is not the criterion for a proper challenge. Challenges must be used strategically, on critical plays that turn the outcome. When you need two scores to tie/win, and you have less than 5:00 on the clock, you need to realize that the TO you have to spend on the challenge is worth 40 seconds, at least. You can't spend that on a 9-yard gain on first down! You win, it's 2nd and 1, big whoop. If you lose, you just gave away 40 seconds of clock. By any measure, this challenge was a colossally boneheaded move. I will disagree with others that have posted that you never use a challenge on a 9-yard gain. On first down, no. On second, third, or fourth down, you use it ONLY if the 9-yard gain would result in a first down. What amazes me week in week out is how the members of this board display more clearheaded and strategic in-game decision making than a guy who has played/coached professionally for most of his life and gets paid millions per year to do it. McDummy must go, because under pressure, he constantly McChokes by making bad decisions.

FTFY.
