Thanks... couldnt remember kicker Bennet stopped 2 swing passes one one for losses to force the kick.
Weird commonality between two of the worst weather games is that Johnny Johnson was the opposing running back for two different teams.
That horrid Phoenix game in 1990 and then the cold Jets game in 1993.

Wasnt that the game where temp dropped to -16 with -36 wind chill... Pat Leahy went to kick 35 yarder but gust of wind took the ball sideways and it hit the wall just below the stands?
93 and it wasn't Leahy. It was Cary Blanchard. He missed 3 FGs that day including a 42 yarder with under a minute to play that hooked really badly.

Re cold weather games in general. My season tickets used to intentionally be on the sunny side. Even in the coldest days it was pretty toasty over there, so long as it was dry. Heat management was actually a bigger problem most of the time, had to unzip from time to time to vent out the excess warmth. Rain games are 100 percent the worst and rain in the high 30s or low 40s is the worst of the worst. It's better 15 degrees colder than 40 and raining.

Didn’t it seem a lot colder than 40 degrees?It's because we were all soaking wet and I think it was one of those 40 at kickoff 35 by games end sorts of things.
The common thread for the things people are calling the worst are the ones where you get wet and stay wet. Dry cold is easy to deal with. Snow isn't a problem, you brush it off. Rain sucks a lot. Rain gear makes you sweat so you're wet from the inside. If you don't wear it you just get wet from the outside. Once you're wet there's no way to get dry. It's just miserable.

Poor Rich Camarillo, I remember that game clearly. Of course, the wind giveth and taketh away in Buffalo. The following year in 1991 Shawn McCarthy of the Patriots had a 93 yard punt that I don't think will ever be replicated. It was the longest kick since the NFL-AFL merger lol
That game was the worst I was ever at. Getting hit in the face with wind driven ice pellets for a very long time. I had to cover my face with my hand. And because I got wet, and my hands got wet (through my gloves), I got very cold and stayed very cold. It was painful to be there by the end. I was also at the Jets and Raiders super cold games a couple years later and those were actually fine. Sunny day, dry. Very tolerable. That Arizona game? Awful.

That's all well and good but somebody's Nonna in North Buffalo or the K of C or the SOI needs to step up and get Josh one of these.
IYKYK.

Cut the season in half so guys might care at least a little bit. Too many games means they don’t matter very much.
This. "Load management" should never be a thing. If that is the priority your season is too long. Baseball would benefit from this also. Chop 20 games off the season at least. Baseball should start at least two weeks later and end on Labor Day with the playoffs starting in September and finishing in October.

I think there will be a new high bust rate among NAI era dudes. They are not going to have the same drive.
IDK, the NIL thing allows more movement and gets more people to play that wouldn't have otherwise so it's likely broadening the QB pool in general.

Principle's office may have been the most central location for that 1 school's AED. Plus, people have been stealing these machines so maybe they had to keep it locked up.
It's usually the former, not the latter.

Referencing Real Sports (HBO) again, a HS kid went into cardiac arrest and a couple of students were sent to the Principle's office to retrieve the AED (it should have been within reach at the event). Neither knew where it was and by the time they ran there, searched for it and ran back it was too late.
Hopefully all of this is being taken into account along with these new resources.
I've asked either for one of our AEDs to be relocated to our gym or to get an additional one three times a year for the last 6 years.
As it stands it's on me to get it and bring it to the event, usually a basketball game. It ISN'T there during gym class all day. It lives in the lobby which is a good hike from the gym and the second one lives on the complete opposite side of the school.
Outdoor events are bad. Our district does not pay for athletic trainers so, again, it's on us to grab it and haul it outside which is fine, unless it's raining. Of course, once we've removed it from its base station it's also not where it belongs for anyone else still in the building who might need it.
Away games are worse because I have no idea if the host team has anything at all.

When we drafted him I would have been happy if he gave us 80% of prime Dalvin. 100% and counting so far …
Yeah, no. He's got a ways to go to match his brothers production.

I would never give a RB a 2nd contract personally but I could see Beane and Brady wanting to keep Cook. Beane was in Carolina when they drafted McCaffrey. Brady was in New Orleans when they drafted Kamara. Both dual threats that received second contracts. They could always point to his low volume of carries in college to justify extending him. It really depends on the agent's demands both in terms of dollar amount and length. They didn't extend Singletary though so who knows.
I can see both scenarios and I really think it comes down to the bolded. Singletary wasn't nearly as productive as Cook has been so there was a strong argument to let him walk, but then Beane's protege also let Barkley walk in NY.
It basically comes down to asset allocation. If you pay Cook which position are you going cheaper on and which other player(s) do you let walk because you can't pay them all? This is the reality of the cap era. Once you have a QB that doesn't change but all the pieces around it do. If you have a QB who is willing to not rake you over the coals for every dollar so you have more money for other players that helps too and there have been some high profile guys to do that. Allen's NEXT contract is another huge moment. Does he help the team keep a squad around him or does he need every dollar he can get? Brady took well under market value for a very long time and it made a huge difference.

So you're willing to gut this offense to save a few dollars? Cook is special, one of the few backs worth that second contract. The only reason he doesn't put up Saquon numbers is because Josh Allen is way better than Jalen Hurts as a passer. Right now the offense runs through Cook, and I don't see that changing next year.
How much and how long are you willing to go?
I didn't say I was willing to gut the offense, I'm just acknowledging the reality of the RB situation in the world.
and FWIW, people in Minnesota would have been down for giving his brother big money too. He was amazing for a couple years there.

I expect them to debut in April or so and to be worn twice in the final season at Rich / Ralph / Highmark Stadium to pay homage / tribute to the stadium.If they don’t this, they are absolutely insane and completely tactless.
IDK how many variants they are allowed to wear in a year, but it would be cool to wear each primary jersey/helmet combo they wore in that stadium at least once next year. It's really only 2 different helmets so it shouldn't be an issue that way. They'd need 4 different tops which could be a problem. Go forward through time, start with the throwbacks/standing buffalo blue over white, move to the white helmet streaking buffalo blue over white, then the red helmet blue over white, the red helmet white over white (Jim Kelly's first game was that combo), then the dark blue with red helmet and blue pants, then back to the white helmet with blue on blue (I hate it but they did it a lot), then the throwbacks white over white (they didn't really do that in that stadium until this time), then finish up with the red on red (I hate this too but it lines up with their marketing of wearing those near Christmas.) That's 8 home games. If we have a 9th, run out the modern blue over white with a red helmet for the last regular season game in the old stadium. Skip the white clown uniforms, those were horrid and should never be spoken of again. IDK if they ever wore those at home and i dont care.

As long as Buffalo wins just 1 of their next 2 games, it's ok if Pittsburgh wins out. We'll still have a 1 game lead over them.
These Wednesday games are a blessing. We will know exactly what needs to happen on Sunday several days in advance. If KC and Houston win? Shut it down and get healthy. If Pittsburgh and/or Baltimore win? We ride at dawn.

STFU.
He's not wrong. It's not smart business to give RBs big second contracts. Just look at his brother for an example why not. 4 years of heavy use, 1 superlative year in there, then he fell off a cliff and was done at age 28. Do we expect James' physiology to be vastly different than his brother's? This is a very tricky contract for the Bills to navigate. Certainly you want to keep him, but the reality of running backs is what it is.
If you're spending money at RB you're not spending it somewhere else. For it to make sense at that position it needs to be a shorter term deal which then basically forces the actual dollars to be higher because SOMEONE will make him a ridiculous offer. Do you tag him and deal with the animosity that comes with that?
Saquon's current deal is actually relatively affordable and it's structed in a very team friendly way with and out AND voidable years at the end along with manageable cap hits. If James is up for something like that (3 yrs/37M/26M guaranteed) it might be doable.
24 minutes ago, GunnerBill said:The people who hate on Cook do so because they still prefer bigger, more physical backs who can do the 3 yards and a cloud of dust stuff.
Cook is not that kind of player but he is a top 10 back. His vision and short area acceleration are elite.
He's the most consistently explosive back we've had in a long time. Maybe Shady for a little while? Then I'm not sure who it would be before that. We've always had pretty good RBs, they're just usually a bit different style, more power, fewer long plays.

Am I wrong to think that this is the first time we've seen the Bills run pistol?
Nah, they do that sometimes.
The wildcat snap to Cook(?) with handoff option to Josh has a little play tree that goes with it too I'm sure. They showed that just enough to make people worry about it

Interesting discussion. Obviously the one seed is the priority. But if it’s out of reach, give the starters two bye weeks and go into the wild card fresh.
As far as being rusty, that’s a risk you’ve gotta run. But it seems unlikely. McDermott is undefeated coming off a BYE.
Exactly. If KC and Houston both win Wednesday health has to become the priority. Everybody wants the 1 seed to get the bye, well if they get the 2 seed and can give themselves 2 weeks off I don't see the issue. Two weeks of 17 not getting hit or having to jump over or run through anyone is huge.
2 minutes ago, Dan Darragh said:I'm guessing the Bills didn't want to open the playbook too much given that we need to play these guys again in two weeks in the Trubisky Bowl.
Only new thing I saw today was Anderson coming in motion before kicking out the DE. They did it a couple times and I'm guessing they showed that because they have something else they want to run off of it. If I had to guess it would be a PA pass to Anderson, after showing that motion, inside the 5 yard line for a cheap TD.

If you're referring to the BS DPI calls, both the WR and DB were engaged within 5 yards of the LOS. The correct call in both cases was no call.
I'm referring to basically every play where he is pulling and tugging on the receiver. It happens very very frequently, usually when the receiver is coming out of their break or when the ball is coming, and if he could stop doing that it would be preferred.

I do. He had tight coverage and made good tackles. This kid will make plays given a chance. He's basically sat all year, so I don't get the negativity. Let him audition in these last games and maybe we can get a draft pick out of it if we decide to cut bait.
Is it legal to play in oven mitts? If so he might have to.
