Blank Stare

We beat the hell out of each other last week. They’re hoping to coast this week.

Game over.

And yet...9-4. Toolbags.

Lamar has been great this year, but the ballwashing by the media is insufferable. I’d love to get another crack at these guys.

I was thinking you were referring to the Bills. Unless we win the division (not likely), only way we’d get a home game is if we are the 5 seed and things fall our way. Obviously, 6 seed is weakest seed and won’t get a home game under any circumstances. It definitely could if the Ravens need the game to stay ahead of the Cheats for the #1 seed. But I’m not sure that happens. They are in a great spot because they beat the Cheats and us head to head. They did lose to the Chiefs, but they are 2 games back in the standings. Things could get interesting if they drop the game tonight.

Interesting tidbit, but am I missing something here? Only thing the results of this game could impact is seeding. We just need to win 1 more game and we are in. Yes, if we lose this game, we are likely the 6 seed, but all that matters is winning one more game.

I posted a message about this yesterday. It’s crazy. Murph’s position on certain issues is truly perplexing sometimes.

I guess we’ll see. You bring up good points, and I don’t disagree that on paper it seems like those picks and punishment are severe. To most teams it would be catastrophic. But with the Cheats, it’s usually 30-32 in each round. Yes, still a pick, but contrary to popular belief, Belichick is not a great drafter. Belichick is better on the pro-personnel evaluations in my opinion. That’s where he nabs guys like Welker, Van Noy, Amendola, and on and on. Unspectacular players that come alive under his tutelage. Plus, if they really are cheating and pushing the envelope as much as alleged, that minimizes the impact of any forfeited draft picks or other personnel mistakes.

The funnest.

Been a while since Poyer or Hyde have come up with interceptions. Used to be fairly common, but teams are wisely avoiding and not testing them. Busted coverage last week excluded.

And similar to the NCAA with the UNC situation, the NFL won’t have the balls to throw the book at them and instead will hide in the corner and sweep it under the rug. Cheaters prosper under Goodell.

With this track record of success, Whaley must be turning down more NFL gigs than Greg Williams. I’ll give you the guy was a decent evaluator of talent, who never really got the opportunity to run his own show. However, in the end, he just wasn’t good enough and was shown the door. It’s not personal for me. He seemed like a good enough guy, but just wasn’t good enough.

Here we go. Simple google search tells a different story. While there are a bunch of things you can do to free up money, some of their decisions were certainly dubious. And there are several more articles out there that speak to mismanagement and bad contracts (*ahem* Charles Clay albatross *ahem*). https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2016/01/22/bills-gm-whaley-recognizes-difficult-cap-situation/79162088/ https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2016/02/cordy_glenn_contract_offer_doug_whaley_buffalo_bills.html https://sports.yahoo.com/bills-coach-criticizes-past-regime-irresponsible-moves-172305978--nfl.html https://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/31007/brandon-beane-puts-bills-in-better-position-under-salary-cap-in-2018

You must be new to this. ? I kid. But in all seriousness, all of this fan hand-wringing, one way or the other won’t have one bit of difference on the outcome. There’s absolutely no reason we can’t win this game. Will it be easy? Probably not. Wouldn’t be unheard of to lose the game either. Stay positive and expect to win. Raise the standard. Just have to believe the Bills have finally turned the corner like most of us think (hope ?) they have. They are also likely to get Juju and Connor back. That will only help take pressure off Hodges with the better personnel they’ll have available.

Yes, I remember the Whaley era well. ?

Haha. Yeah, my bad on that one.

Was a joke man. I think you’ve made your position clear over several posts/threads. ?

We’re all fear bunkering it right now, praying the Bills don’t Billsy away the end of the season.

? Not surprised. The Cheats treat this like they treat holding or PI. They’ll do it every time, knowing they won’t be caught and call it every time. It’s just what they do.

Personally, I’m rooting for an immoral loss this week with the Bengals over the Cheats. Or is that a moral victory ?? Cheaters continue to prosper under Goodell.

John Murphy is a naive patriots apologist on OB Live right now. The guy has some really odd takes sometimes. He’s delusional if he thinks this is a big nothing burger. Tasker having to convince him.

Thank you for looking this up. I mentioned the wind, but my comments were strictly based on the eyeball test. I know New Era gets some pretty crazy conditions, but it just seems like several home games this year we’ve had to wrestle with the winds to the detriment of the passing game. More so than usual. Yes, Josh has proven he can cut through the winds at times and yes it impacts both QBs, but it’s just an oddity of our home games this year. One that I think has fairly neutralized our home field advantage. Interesting to see how the stats prove that out, albeit in a limited sample.

We’ve also had really unfortunate winds at home games this year. Worse than I can recall in the past. Seems like most of our home games this year have had difficult winds. Josh has certainly struggled this year with the deep ball, but even a little wind can compound the problem.

Yep, I could definitely see that too. Made a lot of dough and had all the glory. You look at him sometimes over the past couple years and he hasn’t looked like it’s been much fun for him. Can’t say I blame him. Shurmur has been a disaster.

Does anyone want to win this division? Crazy how terrible it is. Pathetic we lost to the eagles with the one bad game our defense had this year. I don’t see why not. There’s just not 32 guys in the world that can play the position effectively. They’d be someone interested I’d bet. Maybe the Cheats if they move on from Brady.
