I am an avid listener. Most of my meetings are late afternoon to early evening, as such I am able to listen to the earlier shows while I work. I listen to some of the post games as well. There is a caller named Stephen who may be one of the most irritating humans I've ever heard call into these shows. He calls every day. Not only does he call every day, but he calls each show every day. He literally says the same thing almost verbatim to each host, two to three times a day. It's the weirdest thing I've ever heard. Last night my wife and kids fell asleep early, so I listened to the early and late post-game shows while I took care of some housework. The dude called in and said the same thing on different shows maybe a half hour apart.

God is good!

Josh is having the best season of any Bills player ever. He is well on his way to being the best Bill of all time. Right now its still Bruce. That said, an MVP and a Championship should pretty much seal it for Josh.

No its an extension of his current persona Joe Cocky as Hell.

I like the 4:30 games. Out of church by 12:30, plenty of time to do things at home, and a nice dinner with football. Not a bad little Sunday.

If you have your starting safeties in the game, you probably play less. I am sure the coaching staff was extremely worried about Bishop and Lewis.

A few things on this: 225 of those yards went to backs and tight ends. The Bills were giving the Lions the underneath routes to attempt and not get beat over the top. This works extremely well to the Lions advantage when the Bills pass rush doesnt get home. The Lions were down the entire game. 494 yards isn't exactly earth shattering when you throw the ball 59 times. The Bills held two backs who are on pace for 1,000 yards a piece to 2.8 yards a carry. The Bills are absolutely beat to hell on defense. Down to their 5th safety. So beat up at OLB they had to have an injured player come back into a game (kudos to you Dorian Williams, a lot of heart there). Down to their backup cornerback etc. The Bills had plenty of defense until the end of the 3rd quarter of the game. The Lions are good, get over it. I have no clue why posters on this board would rather focus on the negative parts of a win, rather than the things the Bills actually did well. Like I said yesterday, I think many of you think its still 1995 NFL. This is the game the NFL wants. Offensive holding was called at a minimum. There were 3 quarterback sacks on 93 pass drop backs yesterday. Think about how insane that is.

He is out there because McDermott is a loyal coach, which I dont hate. The only thing Milano is doing even remotely well is helping the pass rush. He isnt dropping into coverage well and is a major liability in the run game. It was embarrassing to watch him shoot the wrong gap yesterday. To your point, he cant shed well because the arm is holding him back. But, the hardest part for me to watch is seeing his play speed and diagnosis leaving him. He is late consistently. The diagnosis can return. If the play speed is physical and not mental, it will be the thing that gets his contract tore up in the offseason.

I'd say it all worked out for the best.

In 2017 McDermott drafted the players. Since then its been up to Beane to make the choices, but if you think Mcdermott and his scheme doesnt have huge insight into who the Bills are bringing into their locker-room you're insane.

Again. Who hired Kromer? I am not sure people understand what an NFL head coach does.

I agree with you 100%. I have to imagine the people harping on McDermott have never coached football before. To coach defensive football, you need to know a thing or two about offensive football.

Oddly enough I think his journey to the NFL actually helped him become exactly what you're talking about. Had he gone to the biggest high school, and followed it up with a legit college program, the things he does week in and week out would have coached out of him to death. To watch a Quarterback take the snap, stand in the pocket, go through his reads, drift right, drift further right, drift even further until his feet are almost out of bounds, and then throw an absolute rope without resetting his feet is against everything logical. Kudos to the Bills organization for just letting him be Josh.

Who hired Joe Brady and Aaron Kromer?

A member of the Bills front office has a kid who goes to the same football camp as my son, same position. I talked to him a great deal during the camp. I told him I always thought Brady made Belichick. He disagreed a great deal. His exact words were, winning football is an ecosystem, it takes the perfect scheme, the perfect players for the scheme, and the perfect organization of everything around that. I doubt Allen becomes Allen if he goes to Cleveland, the Giants, the Jets or the Broncos at that time. McDermott does play into that. I dont know what this board has against McDermott, but its not just on a football level, its personal for many of you. Just like Allen, you will miss McDermott when he is finally gone.

The bottom row of his teeth say he also can drive the hell outta a dirt road.

There have been weird calls and non calls all games.

Yes. Hurt earlier.

It was a text book block. Hands inside the frame of the body. He kicked the guys azz but embarrassment isn't holding

Yeah like not being down to third string players

And he still isn't a bad coach

Let me see how this works. Campbell is as dumb as a soup can now right? He's horrible. Get him outta here. Did I do that right guys?

Where is Milano?

And are the only team to beat them. Anomalies happen. Wake me up when the Bucs are as good as the Bills.

Will you guys wakeup and realize defenses no matter how good stop great offenses in the NFL anymore. Does the Detroit defense suck all the sudden because they are playing Josh Allen? It's not 1995 anymore. This is the NFL.
