    Do we get Jamison Crowder back this season?

    At this point, I don't know if Jamison Crowder even makes a difference.  Just another body that will get 1-2 targets if he's lucky.  This passing game just feels like it lacks focus and structure at the core, and probably needs to go back to the drawing board in the offseason.  

     

    We have talent at the position.  Not Cincinnati Bengals talent.  But enough that we shouldn't be shut-down so easily by defenses.  Week after week (for the past two months), we get short spurts of rhythm and success.  Maybe 1-2 quarters, and then it goes right back to being a grind.  Something has just felt off.

     

    All the hype about re-signing John Brown and Cole Beasley... I think we got one target for Brown down the sideline, and nothing since.  Beasley caught a couple passes and has been a ghost otherwise.  Meanwhile we had at least 2-3 times in the Bears game where Josh Allen was forcing the ball downfield into tight coverage to Isaiah McKenzie.  Is Khalil Shakir actually on this team?  And how many more games can Stefon Diggs be completely ignored before he starts getting frustrated?

     

     

    All fair points. What I've been wondering is if they're limiting the offense intentionally these last few games in order to keep some things in their back pocket for the playoffs. I wonder if that's why they have the inconsistency. Doesn't seem like they're doing anything super creative, not a lot of misdirection or pre-snap motion, but they're able to score enough to win despite stalling out on several drives. Just makes me wonder if they're like, hey that's fine, we still won and we didn't have to bust out our big money plays. 

     

    I could be totally wrong and they could be out there running their big time stuff and just not doing it well. But I feel like once the playoffs start we'll see the offense spark a little more.

    For sure. The real kicker is how one of those two schmuck teams is gonna stumble bass-ackwards into the playoffs with like a 8-9, 7-10 record. I know they wanna make division play important but I dunno, teams at 11-6 or whatever shouldn't have to sit home in lieu of a 8-9 team just because they won their poopy division. And if the Bucs get in the media will pee themselves over, "Tommy's in da playoffs where aNytHiNG cAn hApPeN!" It all comes back to the media for me and just how much I can't stand them turds. Ah well. Go Bills.

    Should we go after Josh Jacobs?

    More likely we re-sign Singletary to a team-friendly deal than we pursue Jacobs after the season he has had. Not to mention Cook looks better and better as the season progresses. 

     

    I like dis guys idea. Singletary and Cook have become a really good combo. I'd like to see it remain intact. I know salary cap and all that but yeah, Singletary and Edmunds are on my "please find a way to keep these guys" list.

    Nice throw, Tua. 

     

    I just don't see it with that kid. His mechanics look awkward, yeah he can be accurate but he's got next to zero zip on his throws. Lot of stuff looks schemed open for him and he still misfires. I dunno. Not to knock the guy or anything, just don't see it.

    Way back in the Flutie era I went to a Raiders game which the Bills won and boy there were some irritated Raiders fans exiting the stadium that day. 

     

    Went to the 2013 opener against New England and walking outside after the loss these college aged girls, probably six of them, just being loud and vulgar with kids near and everyone was just like, "Nice, real classy." Same game tho, two moron Bills fans in the row behind us got into a fight before the game even started. Had beer spilled on myself and fiancee at the time. I'll never understand the schmucks that get plastered that early in the day and then can't even watch the game because they're complete disasters. 

     

    Sat next to some Packers fans in 2014, the game where Jordy Nelson dropped a sure TD and Broccoli Rambo picked off Rodgers twice. The fans were cool. Afterwards I think I said something like, "We rarely get to enjoy a big win, at least you guys still have Rodgers!"

    Here is what he said.

     

     

     

    Wilson makes the game completely uncomfortable on every down. Wilson makes the easy hard. He makes everything look hard. He has no idea how to play the position. Zero. He has no pocket awareness.....”

     

    I'm so lost here. Who said this?

    Ike activated. Welcome back!

    Any update on Bates? If he can go at center in place of Morse and Ike can slot in on the right then that wouldn't be too shabby. Not ideal but not awful. 

     

    Nothing against the guy but all I know is when Greg Van Roten is in the game Josh has instant pressure on like every other drop back. 

    Interesting Diggs Split Stat from The Athletic

    in The Stadium Wall

    Yeah, I saw this. Kinda interesting.

     

    Diggs has 99 receptions this season. The receptions among the rest of the main skill players are really consistent. Knox has 43, Davis has 42, McKenzie has an even 40, and Singletary has 35. Next player with the most receptions is Cook with 18. It's like, obviously Diggs is the clear number one, but the number two on this team is a mix of four different players lol. 

     

    Before the season, I felt like they were pretty well set at WR. Davis had kind of a slow start but I think he's been picking it up these last few weeks. I want to be a McKenzie fan, but the dude is just so inconsistent. One week he'll go off for 10 catches, 135 yards and a TD, then follow it up with four drops, a fumble and a jet sweep that goes for -8 yards. Knox has had to play a lot more in-line than he usually does but they are getting him more involved late in the season here.

     

    Not gonna hold my breath for Beasley or Brown to pop up with a huge game anytime soon. Hopefully with Beasley back in the mix they can run more plays as Josh was saying they've been limited with some stuff because nobody could execute it like Beasley. 

     

    Diggs is the guy, though. Wonder if they're limiting him a bit just to keep him fresh for the post-season.

    Kirk Cousins is still the Vikings quarterback.

     

    I've always felt like he's an overrated bum. Sure, he piles up the stats but it don't mean much if you're not winning consistently. He almost reminds me of ol' Drew Bledsoe at times. Has like next to zero mobility in the pocket and hangs onto it too long at times. Friggin' schmuck. 

    Fish in Orchard Park - Snow Game ✅

    Snow had stopped by about 9a but as of now it's coming down again. Sideways, big fat flakes. I live just off Abbott about 3.5 miles from the stadium. 

     

    I don't think this kind of wet, heavy snow is a real benefit to anyone. If it keeps up it's likely gonna be a sloppy game where both teams are gonna have to try and run it when they're both offenses that love to air it out. Guess it depends on how clear they can keep the field. 

    At this point last season, Bills were 7-6

    Very true, but also very promising performances by Allen when it mattered. If he can match that this year, we will not be denied.

     

    As much as 13 seconds sucked, that was my takeaway from that game. I just remember thinking, "The dude is too good, he's just too good not to bring it home one of these years." I truly believe that. JA just has that "it" factor about him and he's a gamer. He's just gonna find a way.
