I run a charity for Vets/1st Responders and you really want to find one that’s in the 80-85% range. That’s really the sweet spot that good charities aim for. Enough admin to sustain the effort but the vast majority going to whatever cause it supports.

Seemed like the best WR on the field yesterday. Drop your petty hate.

I mean. If we’re not getting a dome, we need a team that can take advantage of the special conditions of our stadium. Today I learned that our Zone D scheme doesn’t cope well with poor footing conditions. We already know our O is much better in a dome/warm weather. So we either need fundamental scheme changes or a willingness to reconsider the dome (dead horse I know). Otherwise it feels like we’ll be trying to ice skate up hill every year. Perhaps a hybrid initially, but I don’t want bend/don’t break/zone when it turns into bend/give out. I’d rather high risk/hi reward/man type D. Jam-at-the-line type. The kind that can provide short fields due to strip/sacks/ints. Sometimes gives up chunks (ours seems to give those away anyway) but is very physical. On O, instead of building from the out/in build from in/out. No more toys until there is a mountain of young talented, physical O-linemen. I mean Dallas type O-line investment even if it means Jax/Jags type receivers. I always imagine an offense like a Racecar and the OC as the engineer/mechanic. The QB is like the driver of that Racecar. When OC/QB are together a long time, the car gets super customized to the driver’s strengths/preferences. I think JA can do more with a big beefy 4x4 type O than he can with a precision, highly tuned sports car type O. I also think our stadium decisions favor this type as well. ..or maybe I’m just super salty. Dorsey seemed out of his depth…

I don’t disagree, but I think where the ints are occurring (RZ) that’s making them more impactful/noticeable.

We got your back!

Thank you so much for sharing brother. There is a good bit of similarity in the way things played out. We were all able to be there with her in the end. Tough tough tough, but I wouldn’t have been able to forgiven myself if I wasn’t there.

She helped push DS for the final 1st down. God she hated the Fish!! LFG BUFFALO!!!

Badass man! Thank you for your Service as well brother. SQUISH THE FISH!!

Finally figured out how to add a pic. She lived DEEP in Pats** country and represented throughout the entire drought era behind enemy lines. That’s my Sis! LFG BUFFALO!! Squish the Fish!!!

No, it’s perfectly appropriate and I’m very grateful for each

Yes it does and same same. 97-08

Absolutely!!!! I appreciate that my friend. All of your responses have just been incredible. Thank you my board brothers and sisters

Thank you all so very much. It really means the world to me. I’ve been here since the BBMB closed. It’s the 1st site I visit in the morning and last at night. You guys are awesome. Thank you 😥 It’s ok. In this instance, accident led to a severe infection that she never was able to fight off. No one was expecting it. Just 42….

I’ve been dreading this Look At My Sister Please LA(MS)P post for a couple days but I feel I must. We lost a HUGE Bills fan last week, my little Sister, unexpectedly, right before the game last week. Her Kids, Her Family and the Buffalo Bills (in that order) were her life. As a proud member of the Bills Mafia, she made sure my kids were fully dressed in Bills gear from their 1st B-Day until their most recent one. She was the glue that kept our family together and now she’s up there watching us. While most fans associated the opening Hines KO return for a TD with Hamlin, for us we were all screaming her name (Rachel) with bittersweet tears in our eyes. The 2nd TD return was no less emotional. Love you Rachel and LFG BUFFALO 🖤 Just Added link to small fam fundraiser: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-rachels-family-after-a-tragic-loss?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet

Literally my 1st thought when I read that 😁

You have a lot of free time to worry about the nuances of moves at the bottom of the roster.

Isn’t this the way all controversies concerning people with power are handled? Mind your place serf

As every GDT can confirm, in every single game, there’s a portion of time where it looks like one side is literally unstoppable. Then they are stopped. Sometimes it takes them a quarter to get back in rhythm. They were at home against the golden boys, ready for playoff football and they were FIRED UP. They even wanted the ball 1st! We were in the middle of taking their best punch when DH went down. While of course it’s possible, I doubt the entire game would’ve had the same energy and 1-sided momentum as the 1st 1/2 of the 1st 1/4 (1st 1/8?? 😅)

The way my layman’s understanding goes, is that if it was a 1:1,000,000 bad luck hit, then the heart essentially stalled. Meaning it was good to go, freak accident, restart the “engine” and go along on your merry way. If there were multiple resuscitations, then that takes the freak hit off the list of probable causes. We need to look at his heart and see what kind of shape it’s in, if there is any scarring/swelling/etc and what may have caused it to understand WTF happened Monday. God unlimited prayers for Damar 🙏🙏🙏

Oh I completely agree and hope you’re 100% correct. I’ll just say as a combat vet, losing a loved one is absolutely devastating. Watching a friend/teammate go down in the “field of battle” and seeing them getting “worked on” is a completely different trauma. I know it’s different for everyone, but that’s my experience.

I say forfeit this game AND next week, giving us our bye (technically two as we didn’t play an entire game last night) and take the long road to the SB. F seeding. F 1st round bye. But in reality, it may take that long just for the team to grieve and recover enough to want to play the game again.

Is this real?? Please let this be real

We can make our own bye. Forfeit this week AND next. Grieve. Rest. Maybe they’ll be ready to play again for the 1st round. Wouldn’t blame them.

It’s taken me a few years to get here but I’m on the “Sign TE” side now. My eyeball tells me that the Bills don’t GAF if you can run on them, because our O can outscore any run game. We schematically seem to sell out on the pass and essentially hope they “waste a down” by running. We get gashed by the run occasionally but we rarely get gashed through the air and TE is the key to that. I’ll admit, I don’t like the approach. VERY frustrating to watch us stay in Nickel as the opponent methodically marches down the field. The thing is, the opponent drive often stalls as it’s difficult to string that many positive plays in a row. I don’t think there are many (any?) other LBs in the NFL that ALLOWS us to run the D we currently run successfully. Like I said, this is all eyeball, but the games w/out TE really helped me see this perspective.
