  1. Does he think that every team that plays the Bills doesn’t try to “bring down the player”? More than one defender has concluded, that’s easier said than done And yes, he’s correct, Allen does hang the ball out there like a loaf of bread. It’s not recent, s n a t c h has been part of the naughty words filter here for like a decade
  2. Especially when he was "full" yesterday and "limited" today - wrong direction!
  3. Right. And there's the important point that it's not just "practice makes perfect" it's "correct practice makes perfect". One question is: who is taking the leadership role in getting the DBs on point and in their correct role for each play? We know that Hyde held that leadership role. When Hyde went out, Poyer took it on with Hamlin. When Poyer moved into the box to replace Dodson and Rapp came in on passing downs last year, it was Hyde. So this season, is it Rapp, or is it Hamlin? My gut says, it's Hamlin, and McDermott doesn't trust Rapp in that role yet, let alone rookie Bishop. There's a "mic'd up" segment with Hamlin where it's pretty clear Hamlin is taking a bit of a leadership role pep-talking the DBs, which supports that. I think folks have a skewed view because Williams and Bernard were both 3rd round picks so folks expected them to take a bit longer to come up to speed vs. a 2nd round pick like Bishop (though there were those who felt they were wasted picks because they didn't contribute much their 1st year).
  4. That's one of the contradictions/inconsistencies.
  5. Supposedly Josh was cheating on his then-girlfriend with either a bartender, a UB soccer player, or someone else, and Brittney picked up Josh's phone at the Halloween party and found messages between the love-birds and had a fit. She then stuck around for 3 months until the bartender/soccer player/someone else made it through Josh's gated driveway and left a sonogram of a pregnancy on the porch, upon seeing which Britt had a fit and started smashing and destroying property until the neighbors called police (keep in mind it's a large property without close neighbors), thus ruining Josh's Mojo the night before the Bengals game. Supposedly the "police report is private but the insurance report of the extensive damage is public record", which is kind of the opposite of how I think it works. I think I've captured it all. Basically there are a bunch of inconsistencies and contradictions in all this. Like what hostess of a party decides to grab her SO's phone and go through it, during a party? And teams typically put their players up in a hotel the night before home games, where they have meetings, dinner, usually walk-through practice, meetings, chapel, then curfew. There might be some truth in there somewhere, just like there's yeast in bread, but just like bread, this stuff is stale.
  6. Now you're just speakin' Trollish
  7. This is baloney. Is Hamlin a top safety in the league? No, no he is not. Would I like to see the Bills have better? Yes, yes I would. Is he the fastest guy? No, he is not, though his 4.6 second combine time isn't slug-like. But to say he's "scared to make big tackles" is "what game are you watching?" level. He is a sure tackler and not afraid at all to lay out there. Factually, he's 2nd on the Bills in tackles (to Dorian Williams) and is leading the Bills in charged missed tackles with only 1 (2.1%) Those aren't the numbers of a guy who plays scared. if you're talking Joe Buscaglia, yes, Hamlin has cost yardage. But that's in part the style he is coached to play. Coming out, part of the weaknesses cited were that he came downhill way too hot (thus would let plays by him). This is his first year coming in as a starter and without the safety net (ha! see what I did?) of playing with Johnson and Po. Give him some time to adjust.
  8. Did Tua really say that? That's such lame-ass *****. Suppose Tua's mom had surgery and the surgeon, who spent years training and is highly paid to perform mistake-free surgery, botched the operation then told Tua "I'd like to see a lot of other people scrub up and go in the ER and try to perform that surgery...it's not as easy as it looks sitting in the waiting room eating chips." Tua would be piping mad, I'd bet. Tua is paid literally millions of dollars, $9.5M this season to be exact, to play QB at a high, professional level. Over an 18 week season, that's $528k per game. With an average of 62 snaps per game, that's $8,512.50 per snap. Joe Sofa Spud may go out on the weekend to play rugby, or football, or soccer - as an amateur. No one reasonable expects an amateur to perform at the level of one of the 32 best players in the world, who is getting paid $8,512.50 to handle every one of those 62 snaps flawlessly. It's not that Tua can't and won't make mistakes, it's that part of being a professional is taking accountability. "We can't have problems with the QB-C exchange, we'll be working on that". Period. All he needs to say.
  9. Oh, that makes a lot of sense, I was wondering who he was supposed to be, but he was dressed like a tennis player
  10. That's commercial. My guess is that he flew private jet from B'lo to (probably) Teterboro. 20 minutes drive from the stadium to Teterboro. No hassles with security - just walk through onto the plane, which was likely alerted when he left the stadium and did their preflight so they were ready to go once he got on board. Have a nice nap in a huge reclining seat for the 1 hr flight. 20 minutes drive home. Probably home more like 1:30 am at the latest.
  11. He's supposed to live monastically for 6 months? From Monday afternoon through Wednesday am is NFL players weekly time off, minus time spent in the training room getting treatment and often a light recovery workout on Tues. Most of us enjoy our time off and find it makes us better employees when we return to work.
  12. According to rumor, but said rumor never did make a lot of sense. Barker. It's his costume.
  13. What ARE you talking about?
  14. The Bills can return up to 7 players from IR. They get a 21 day evaluation window where a player on IR can practice with the team, if they decide to not to activate a guy from IR during or after that window, I don't believe it uses up one of their 7 slots.
  15. Was pretty emphatic about it too. Argued at length with a bunch of us.
  16. This is the legit Tom Pelissero account as far as I can tell
  17. I'm tellin' youz guyz, it's his spleen
  18. Have you ever watched the take-down of Supersize Me, "Fat Head Movie"? It's flawed, but pretty funny (and thought provoking) The scene where he invites his wife to talk about their sex life on film cracks me up https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1333994/
  19. That's SOP, including here. Win big and everyone thinks you're fantastic, Em Vee Pee Em Vee Pee. Lose a few games and you should trade all the players and fire all the coaches and the FO.
  20. Be Confident, Bills But not Overconfident Squish the ****ing Phish Josh enjoys Sushi What better way to get fresh Than Fillet o' Phin?
  21. He played 50% (38) of the offensive snaps. Up from 35% (19) vs Tenn.
  22. Ya hate to see it
  23. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/202410270sea.htm Cooper 50% of the snaps (38) Played 35% of the snaps (19) vs. Tenn So, factually, he was on the field exactly twice as many snaps vs. Seattle Against Tenn, we rushed 20 snaps and had 33 pass attempts Against Sea, we had 34 rushes and 34 pass attempts (so same number of pass attempts)
