    That Cooper TD catch is something I see other offenses get on a weekly basis but never us. Allen finally has a WR he can rely on downfield. Hopefully we can re-sign him to a mid-tier deal.


    How Cooper tracked it in the air.
     

    There was a pass to Shakir w/in the last few games that… he tried to look back and over his head to follow the ball but completely lost where he was and where he needed to be. 
     

    We haven’t had a pass completion like that in forever, it seems.

    I've mentioned this a few times, but I fully believe Terry and the Marketing department are waiting until after we win a Super Bowl with Josh. Then they'll break out the 90s throwbacks the next season.

     

    Imagine the home opener after winning a SB, and Josh and the boys come out in the 90s uniforms for the banner ceremony, and all the old 90s Bills are on the field with them. Highmark would be nuts.


    I expect them to debut in April or so and to be worn twice in the final season at Rich / Ralph / Highmark Stadium to pay homage / tribute to the stadium.

     

    If they don’t this, they are absolutely insane and completely tactless.

  3. With all the stuff happening with technology, all I want is an option to silence commentators and just hear the sounds of the field and stadium that they get from the small parabola dishes you sometimes see pointed at the field. They already to it for SAP Spanish; make an audio channel without voices. I hate having to listen to jabbering fools to tell me what I just saw and the information that is right there on the graphics.

    yup, schoen and daboll deserve to be fired. They hitched their wagon to Daniel jones, despite everyone knowing who he was. Very bizarre move.


    To be fair, I would bet that an ownership directive hitched their wagon to DJ. Which is why the owner said Shoen/Daboll will be back next year.


    Starting DeVitto means the tank is on for better draft position to take the next QB.

    Anyone have Benford's stats from this past game?  It seemed liked AD Mitchell was cooking him.

     

    I think people need to be careful with DBs in a Mcdermott Defense.  He can get production out of most.  Lots of zone play.  I wouldn't overpay any DB as long as we have Mcdermott.  It's the one advantage we get with a defensive coach.  Spend the money on offense.


    Somewhat agree.

     

    If refs are going to allow OLs to hold with impunity, why invest heavily on the DL as we have? We can’t get near the opposing QB even *blitzing* when playing actually good teams. But for CB/S that’s an area where you need to put your defensive resources for a couple-few talented guys.
     

    McD can seemingly make chicken salad out of chicken 💩 in the secondary, which is where he started coaching in the league. But it would be nice to have some resources allocated there, which they have been doing.

  6. I saved this a couple of days ago and darned if it isn’t absolutely applicable to this place and its forerunners (I’ve been on since the early days when it was linked with the Rochester D&C, iirc).


    RIP John. And take care, everyone who makes this community what it is.

    Not seeing anything about Billy Shaw's passing on the NFL.com site.  Don't they usually post an article when a HOFer passes?

     

    But, he was a guard, possibly the least well-known position.  But, he never played a down in the NFL.  But, it's the Bills.  But, he was a great guy, not lawbreaking scum.  But, it was Larry Felser who lobbied for years to get Shaw inducted, and he's not around anymore.  

     

    So I'm not holding my breath.


    Also pretty weird that I haven’t seen anything about the Bills doing a memorial “66” helmet decal or patch somewhere on the uniforms. 
     

    Especially for a HOF player, most teams do that.
