  1. I agree with all of this. I'd just add that these turnovers will kill us in the playoffs. And our "skill" positions need to step up (apart from Diggs and Allen).
  2. I don't understand why it's so controversial to critique the team. Yes, the Bills are a really good team. They're still atop the standings. But there are serious issues that need correcting. And they've been present for several weeks now. It's possible to point out flaws without being a sky-is-falling type of fan. Our skill positions on offense are missing apart from Allen and Diggs. Is that lack of skill? Dorsey failing?Josh forcing it to Diggs? I fit one was expecting a lap from Knox this season. Especially after that big contract. And don't get me started on the abysmal turnover rate...
  3. Truly, a classic. And a masterpiece. The juxtaposition of Cory's privilege, and Shawn's self destructive pride gave off Scorsese vibes. If someone is going to rip off a plot, this is the one to plagiarize.
  4. When I throw, I have to keep my index finger on the point of the football. Otherwise, no spiral. But I have wonky wrist mechanics that I just couldn't fix.
  5. Past performance and attitude aside, I remember him saying that the Bills were his favorite team growing up. Maybe that was just draft puff-piece material.
  6. Agreed. This is almost Ricky Williams, Herschel Walker level. An oft-injured RB in a league where RB is no longer a premium position.
  7. The qualities that make a good head coach, aren't the qualities that make a good coordinator. NFL history if littered with great coordinators who made terrible head coaches. And you have great head coaches like Andy Reid who was never even a coordinator before becoming the head guy. It is still very early, but Daboll may be a guy who is a better HC than he was OC.
  8. Reminds me of that Bills/Browns game. But that one was in bad weather.
  9. I seem to remember reading a lot of stories about JP being a good dude and really wanting to embrace the city of Buffalo.
  10. I don't understand how so many can be quick to hubris and respond negatively to comments like this. As though the Jaguars game is ancient history or something. I hope no one on the roster or staff have this mentality. Every team has world class athletes, the Steelers included. Upsets happen every week. And we have injuries all over the place. Look, I believe the Bills are going to win this game. But I don't view any game as a gimmie. Because any given sunday...
  11. They, seeningly, had a great draft and are putting together a nice roster. If Saleh and Wilson pan out, the Jets may have something moving forward.
  12. From Baltimore, but quoting Dickins? Surely, you could've found an appropriate Edgar Allen Poe line to quote.
  13. 20 points left on the field by my count. Clock management left 2 field goals out there. Gabe Davis dropping the TD. Settled for FG. Missed Bass FG. Turnover on downs on the goalline.
  14. Can't explain it, but the Steelers D looked like they were playing in mud. Just uninspired, with a lot of sloppy tackling, and a step too slow. Which is weird for a Tomlin coached team.
  15. I just watched the highlights. But what was the Ravens' secondary doing? Waddle and Hill were just wide open on all these deep balls. Seems like they went from cocky to frantic in the 4th and just lost discipline.
  16. Titans have had the Bills number the last 2 seasons. I'm betting the team will be hungry for some payback.
  17. They tried to make him into a run stuffing DT which he hasn't done well despite his size. He's a penetration style DT. And he's great at that.
  18. He certainly seems like an outlier in what is otherwise a very athletic Bills o-line.
  19. Didn't Kujo have the knees of a 70 year old, retired powerlifter?
  20. I've been most impressed with his willingness to self-evaluate, and evolve. A lot of head guys (I'm looking at you Rex) are far too stubborn and/or egotistical to change. It seems like McDermott really looks at himself critically and makes adjustments to his game.
  21. Not sure if I'd call it a weakness, but certainly a big question mark is the ability for the coordinators to show flexibility/creativity. This defense now has a few pieces that don't necessarily fall into the normal Frazier/McDermott style defense that we've seen so far in Buffalo. Miller, Bernard, Elam, Settle. These are different types of guys that would allow a DC to get creative. Is Frazier willing to do that, or is he a conservative guy who is set in his ways? The offense now has personnel to run 2 tight end sets, empty backfield with Cook motioning out wide, etc. Will Dorsey be creative, or will he feel the need to be Daboll 2.0 since they had success in the past? McDermott, to me, has shown a growth mindset (willingness to self-evaluate and change) so I'm not so worried about him. I don't know if Dorsey and Frazier have the same mentality.
