I like things that are nice. This is definitely good news. He's a solid player, but what I really like about him is he can get the team hyped up. He's vocal, he's loud, he's provocative, gets the people going.

He did. Stidham went in. I wasn't paying real close attention but I think it went something like: handoff, handoff, handoff, incomplete, handoff, interception.

95 yards and 3 interceptions, he's really on 🔥

The Peterman Pickapalooza was against the Chargers in 2017 in a 54-24 heiney-whoopin'. Bills played the Chargers at home in Week Two of 2018 and while they lost 31-20, they had a much stronger second half, limiting the Chargers to 7 points. However, there were a few more rough games in 2018, especially a three-game stretch where they were outscored 103-20. They were 2-7 at that point but to their credit they went 4-3 to finish the season.

Really good game for Beasley. I liked his post game comments too. He said that when the deeper stuff gets taken away, he knows he has to do everything he can to be real "QB friendly" and make it as easy as he can for Josh. Can't wait to see JB15 and DK88 get back out there.

It's probably just habit at this point. They say he's the same dude day in and day out, win or lose, he's always a real steady Eddie. He has a naturally positive disposition. He works to keep the players in a positive mindset in the face of pressure and especially when things aren't going well. It can be easy for a player to get in their own head if they screw up. McDermott is the type of coach to say, "Hey, you're better than that, chin up, get 'em next time" as opposed to an old school, hard-@$$ type of coach who might just yell at the dude and bench him. He has a lot of good qualities not just as a coach but as a leader.

Sheesh, some of y'all "fans" that really "love" this team sure have a lot of disparaging things to say about other human beings that are infinitely more athletically gifted than anyone posting here. I see crap like "worthless" or "waste of space/money" or "absolutely awful" or "putrid" or whatever other colorful terms you Rhodes scholars can come up with. It's one thing to criticize a guy and just say, "Yeah, he hasn't been playing very well" but the insults are just bullcrap, grow up.

Chiefs 6794 Bills 4 At least that's what the commentary will sound like given that Mahomes will be on the field. "Patrick Mahomes has just delivered the most beautiful, mystical, and majestic sneeze I have ever witnessed. It's like being sneezed on by God himself! Just look at that Kermit-voiced angel." I hope Buffalo is just p*ssed off a out the Titans game and comes out and slaps KC in the nuggets. Bills 31, Chiefs 30

The only INT that's 100% on Josh is the second one that Butler picked off. Don't think Josh ever saw him. It happens. While Josh has dramatically improved, he still has that "area code accuracy" at times. Meaning, the ball is in the receivers area but might not be placed where they prefer. There have been times where he's robbed a receiver of some YAC because the ball is a bit behind them or whatever. Just like he has his entire career so far, I expect he'll work on it and continue to improve. But yeah, I'm sure the receivers are aware that they might need to make some adjustments at times in order to make the catch. Off topic but I just wanna punch Mike Vrabel in his stupid fat head. What a frickin' mongoloid.

He's very good when healthy. He's consistently underrated, he pops up in almost every game with a sack or a TFL, batted down pass, etc. Very good player. That said, I don't think he's in play. He's a leader on Washington and the type of veteran Ron Rivera holds onto.

They voted Poyer captain so I'd assume he's an emotional leader out there. Harrison Phillips is a guy with a lot of heart and he likes to get the guys riled up. They obviously believe in Edmunds, he's still playing hurt and I think he hesitates when he doesn't have Milano next to him. Hughes is a fiery guy. They have some personalities on that side of the ball but yeah I'm sure they miss a guy like Lorenzo. They probably miss Shaq Lawson and Jordan Phillips as well. Both guys were always trying to get things fired up. I'll tell you what they miss the most: us, the crowd. They've said as much several times now, when the chips are down late in the game and they're dragging ass, they feed off that energy from the fans in those situations. I do think it's a tad unfair that some stadiums can have fans while others can't. McDermott agrees, he was none too pleased about that. The league tries to pride itself on its parity and keeping the playing field level so we can get "any given Sunday" situations but they missed on the fans. If all of them couldn't have fans then they should've waited until all teams can, but whatever. Trust the process. It's one ugly game, but looking back on it I don't think they played that bad. The turnovers and uncharacteristic mistakes did them in. That first INT that deflected off Roberts snatched the wind right outta their sails. Josh pressed a little bit to make a play. I don't think he saw Butler on that second INT until about .02 seconds after the ball left his hand. Butler was somewhat hidden behind another DB so there's a chance Josh thought there was only that one DB there so he chucked it and just never saw Butler. Sh*t happens. Too many mistakes and turnovers and most every team is gonna struggle when their opponent starts every drive inside your territory. Regroup, refocus and show everyone that game is NOT who you are. Show up for the Chiefs cause you can bet they're ready after they got shelled by Vegas. Sometimes this sport, man....yeesh. Just...go Bills....please?

If this is true I'm sure Beane will do his homework and at least inquire but the odds of him coming here are slim and none and slim just left town.

I knew he'd go with Miami. The whole "I wanna win is just lip service BS. Miami is throwing stupid money at him and that's where he'll go and that's where he'll continue his tour of suck.

Yeah, same. I avoid Twitter in general but I do like to check in during the games just to see what the talking heads think on close calls or whatever. The board can get pretty doom and gloom during and after a loss so I'll steer clear for a couple of days. It was a rough game but they've had those each year McDermott has been here. I dunno if they just went thru the motions or if the rescheduling threw them off or if the lot of them are all playing really banged up right now. It would've been a much closer game without the turnovers and having to defend drives that started at the 16 and crap. Andre Roberts also had a downright awful game, caused two turnovers on his own. And the officials seemed to have moved on from "It's a strange season, ease up on the flags, let 'em play" to "Don't let 'em play or the world will forget about the absolute most important part of any game in history, us, the officials! Call flags for all bull####, take TDs off the board on non-existent procedural penalties! Be seen and be heard my little striped zebra men!" Fudge. Sometimes I really hate this GD game.

Thread closing in 5...4....

The foundation of his system is adaptation. He wants to be able to run whatever type of offense they need based on their opponent. That's doesn't seem real easy to do and a lot to ask of your players. They gotta know all sorts of concepts and formations and the audibles and adjustments, etc. Players have said it's the most complex offense they've seen. Having the consistency they've had in terms of personnel on the offense over the last three seasons and the advancement of Allen seems like it's finally unlocked all of Daboll's playbook. And seeing them execute it pretty cleanly has been awesome to see as a fan, man. Most years of the drought were filled with rather abysmal offenses without a solid QB so it was always a run-focused offense to hide the QB flaws. Fitz and the Island of Misfit Toys had some fun games as an offense. But again guys like Manuel and Taylor were in offenses that relied mainly on the run. So we haven't seen some of these laser shots Allen has thrown. Not in a while anyway. And not nearly as often. The last QB consistently making throws like he has was Bledsoe throughout 2002 and a little bit of 2003 before he began staring down Moulds and apparently Moulds is a descendant of Medusa because the more he stared him down the more of the sack statue he became. As fun as it has been so far, I always feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Nearly two decades of futility will really train your brain to expect failure. You expect it so much you don't know how to react when they're super successful and should be the expected team to win in most games. It's definitely an interesting season and I really think this team can hang with anyone in the league.

I love Tre and hope that he's just off to a bit of a rocky start for 2020 but I can't help but wonder if his heart is in it this year. He went down to the wire on opting out and has a young family, I'm sure that weighs on him. But, I could be way off and it's just taking some time for him to find his groove.

There was no way Lynn could've gone back to Taylor after how Herbert has played. I'd rather deal with Herbert throwing a pick here and there but still pushing it down the field than Taylor who sees the big throw but pulls it down and dumps it off. Sucks for Tyrod, eff that doctor, man. I wonder if he'll be pursuing some sort of compensation or something for that.

Daboll: OK, on this play here if you can't get Stefon on the out route I want you to dump it to Devin in the flat. Josh: No coach, Brett Favre says touchdowns first. *Daboll grabs a coffee can from under his desk marked "Brett Favre Jar" and Josh drops a $5 in it.* Daboll: *sigh* As I was saying....

I think Diggs would get frustrated in Minnesota because he knew he could help his team win and it seemed like there were weeks where he just wasn't involved in the offense. Whether that's the patented "let's draft a WR 4th overall and then use him as a decoy!" method created by Doug Whaley and Rex Ryan or they just didn't know how to get him in the mix then yeah, I'd see why he's frustrated. I also think he felt like certain teammates didn't match his passion for winning and the game in general. I'd also probably have a difficult time getting along with Kirk Cousins. Guy is a friggin' toolbag.

Weenies. Every gotd@mn one of them.

Joe B gotta be basking in the wake of own stank because he has not let go the "Cody Ford to guard" argument since before the kid was drafted.

If they have to forfeit then they have to forfeit. The Titans were given the same information and protocols as every other team. They have also already been warned several times and have already had to have a game rescheduled because they're violating league-wide protocol. If the NFL wants to show that they're serious about this stuff then a forfeit might be the way to go. They did it to themselves.

Don't know what he has left in the tank but even if he still had half a tank, dude is in his 10th NFL season with a ton of wear and tear. If McBeane is gonna pull a trade, it's gonna be a guy that meets their criteria: up and comer at the end of their first contract, entering the prime of their career at 25, 26, 27, etc. Gonna be a bit longer before the teams that are rebuilding/preparing to rebuild start their fire-sales.

Whoever put together those highlights is a real schmuck. Didn't include Buffalo's first touchdown yet we got a nice look at every single Raiders field goal. Weenies.
