If so fine by me. Jackson will gag like he always does in the playoffs

Got to come into town and see what was most likely my last game at Rich. Lot of nostalgia for me yesterday! The big takeaway for me was we finally used the RBs in the passing game.

Just go out there and take care of business.

Not only can they miss, they will miss the playoffs. And on NFL.com their arrows up/down column lists Worthy as a down.

Sober up then try this one again

I was at the first ever game at the Rich in ‘73 and had to come back for one more today before they close it down. And my younger daughter and older daughter’s husband have never seen a game in Buffalo. So the three of us, my wife and older daughter, and two of my nieces are going! Hoping for some snow to make it a true Bills game experience. Go Bills!

Ok boys let’s matriculate the ball down the field!

You can say the same thing for any team with an All Pro type QB. It’s a weird year. Parity has never been more apparent than this year.

Time to replace guys. Milano, Taron, Poyer, Bernard, all have had other guys replacing them that play better. Hancock, Lewis and Hairston should be starting along with Williams and Thompson once he’s off the injury list. You may even want to start Buffalo Joe over Bernard at this point. On offense it might be getting near the time to replace Dawkins.

I presume Kubiak knows a lot more than I do, but seeing his comments as well as others in the thread I’d say the answer is all of the above. I’d make these points: 1. Our O line stunk, and even those with a modicum of understanding of the nuances of football could see that. Terrible run blocking and we cannot adjust the blitzes a lot of times (might also be on Josh). 2. WRs. Our WRs do struggle to get separation, and we really miss Palmer in that regard. Plus when Josh was rushed they did a terrible job adjusting routes or working their way to an open spot on the field. It is not the group per se; the only major difference from last year is Hollins and that can’t be why this group is so non-effective. 3. Josh. It seems to me he is hesitant at the line and not sure what he sees in the defense. As a result he is hesitant about where to go with the ball, and as such is not seeing guys that are more open where he can make easy completions. I don’t place any stock in the marriage affecting him stuff, but he does look like he is getting confused and frustrated out there, which leads his to try and play hero ball too much such as with the sneak and fumble that essentially ended the game. 4. Brady. This to me is the biggest problem last week, and in the other losses. He does not adapt well at all within games and he gets away too quickly from stuff that works. I keep talking about two things from last year: the 4+1 alignment and using Ty Johnson as a receiver. Both highly successful last year, neither used much this year. When we pulled that dumb 4th down play I knew it would be a long day. Just an overall horse hockey performance by everyone associated with the offensive side on the football.

I don’t know how many times this needs to be said but the Jets were not going to trade within the division. Diana Russini reported on this.

MCL and PCL? Yeah.

I don’t think they use Coleman effectively. They should put him in motion, run slants and different stuff other than sideline back shoulder all the time. But he has to also grow up. He sounds very immature.

In the past 24 hours we have seen posts claiming that Beane deliberately screwed up getting WRs this season out of spite towards fans, that the coaching staff does not take things seriously, and now this. Trade Josh Allen. Trade the current MVP. Trade the heart and soul of the team. And all this based on one game. A game in which they sucked to be sure. But one game. I have asked this before and will ask again: what the hell is wrong with some folks around here?

Gotta lick their wounds and come out focused. It will be my last game ever at Rich stadium!
