Billsfan1972

The Ringer is great and the fact that many of their writers are now doing a 180 and acknowledging Allen will make for the fun reading. Joking about the punter was hilarious. But I know you guys have a real issue about the National media and how they respond to the Bills.

How quickly things change with Josh. I remember early in his career week 1 vs. the Jets he throws a perfect pass to Beasley (about 5 yards) who can't hold it, pops up and is returned for a TD and pages of posts as to whether it was a good throw or if this was a symptom of Allen not being accurate and no finesse as it was thrown too hard. Fast forward to last night and Mackenzie not holding a similar pass and it popping out and the defender getting an int. Now (and rightly so) it was 100% Mackenzie's fault. Time have certainly changed.....😉

Tampa wants to win the Super Bowl I think they don't care who they have a quarterback. In actuality I don't think Brady fans are too worried about it.

And when both QBs pass for 300 yards one wins one loses so I guess that's a .500 winning percentage?

Guys over for the first time since 13 seconds. Starting up the Traeger and a beautiful triple a brisket. Figuring out the sides and drinks.

Can I ask who really cares????

Probably the only starting position player that could be cut. If you was the starting middle linebacker bet you dollars to Donuts that he would not be cut yet.

Good thing he's a punter and not a starter at any other position or this would have gone on and on. Bills did absolutely the right thing in ensuring this was not going to be a distraction. Apologies if answered elsewhere, but I wonder why they didn't just suspend him (and bar him from the facilities) or put him on an inactive list, until this plays out. Unless of course the information they now have is so damning they had to cut/release him.

If McD made the right call to begin with there would not have been any confusion. By the way I saw a directional kick to the five was the right call.

The fact (if true) that McD called a tb originally, he has no feel for the game in the big moment. Us rubes all knew the right call on the kick and the next two plays.

I imagine the response will be "No Comment" or more likely "I did what I was told". But yes beating a dead horse.....

Yep nothing new, but a very good assessment of the last 13 seconds nonetheless.....

Yep..... New article, new thread.....😛

Ha ha ha..... It was a good article and I posted it. I get the Toronto Sunday Sun and it was there 2 weeks after the Superbowl, thus 5 weeks after the the massive screw-up, so they felt it newsworthy to do a 2 page spread and I only read it yesterday. I didn't need to go back pages to append it to another thread. If the Mods want to, go ahead. Yep not over it.

https://www.pressreader.com/canada/national-post-latest-edition/20220226/282338273323081 Appeared February 26th, and just saw it. Still bothered by the meltdown and usually disappear from the site until September, but do peak in to see if anything of interest here. The first half talks a lot again about just what JA did in those two playoff games. The second half eviscerates the coaching & defense.

What I read is McDemott got his way and it was kicked through the endzone. The wrong call.

Do you not huddle before the kick? Did 10 players know the call & Bass did not? Wouldn't that have come out? Shaw I don't care about the other 59:47. It was a well played & coached game, but there were bad (or wrong) calls throughout the game, like there are every game. Get the last 13 seconds right (heck just one play) and the Bills win. The Coaching decisions & calls were screwed up three straight plays. Mahomes, Kelce and Hill did not make plays, the Bills coaches handed them 43 yards. Stop defending McD!!!!! He blew it.

And again watching the replay of the last 13 seconds yesterday, there was Romo saying something along the line "oh no they kicked it long". So can hardly wait another year of McD excuses......😜

Again don't excuse McD. Coaching decisions, begin and end with him. I always love how his "fans" turn these things into positives. Yes according to some he is not a micro-manager (though from what I see from McD, I expect that is not the case), but with 13 seconds left in the game, you have to be.

Of course at the most crucial juncture it is his responsibility (i.e. The Buck Stops Here). BTW again never answered, but don't special teams huddle before the kickoff. Again I just don't it that if the play was called, Bass the most important person didn't know.

No it is at the spot of the catch. It is brought to the 25 yard line in College Football. While I do believe they were gassed, the defense was so bad, it had nothing to do with Patrick Mahomes driving them 43 yards. Buffalo gifted them those yards.

A great 59:47, no need to warch more. There were mistakes on both sides, but a very cleanly played game.

I just rewatched the 13 second nightmare. Simple routes, simple passes and no defense. Shaw66, please stop with the Belichek comparisons. McD is a good to very good coach, but to me the last two years has been more about talent then coaching. I know it may be unfair but show me a game in 2020 or 2021 where it was all about the coaching that won it.

No I can't.... Expected that comment eventually. I too explained in a thread after the game that all year there were 4 Kick return TDs (out of almost 1300). These were all line drive kicks returned 98-100 yards (no 90 yard TD returns, which is what the directional kick would have required). Longest return Buffalo allowed all year was 31 yards. Again that wouldn't have been a coaching blunder, it would have been a breakdown on the return team. The odds and based on there being only 13 seconds & vs. Mahomes, forcing a return was the correct call. Then add a complete meltdown on the final two plays (i.e. no defence whatsoever) and simple, easy passes that even a below average NFL QB could have made all falls at the feet of McD.

th So were the other 6 times in 2021 and let's not forget the Houston WC game. He's cashed in a # imo. And please no more references to "the process"😜 .
