Yes, lambs are usually juicy enough to not need basting... but every once in awhile...

So you sat there drinking in the air conditioning while watching others suffer? Do I have that right? 😜 You... eat cigars? 😊 I knew there had to be a logical explanation... 86°Hi RealFeel® 93° RealFeel Shade™ 91° Warm and humid with times of clouds and sun; a thunderstorm in spots late this afternoon Max UV Index3.0 (Moderate) AccuLumen Brightness Index™5 (Medium) WindSSE 8 mph Wind Gusts 15 mph Probability of Precipitation 55% Probability of Thunderstorms 33% Precipitation 0.04 in Rain 0.04 in Hours of Precipitation 0.5 Hours of Rain 0.5 Cloud Cover 64%

Even though the original post includes playoff wins, it got me to thinking which NFL HC got to 100 wins in the fewest regular season games: Don Shula 137 Colts/Dolphins George Seifert 141 49ers Joe Gibbs 146 Redskins Tony Dungy 148 Buccaneers/Colts John Madden 150 Raiders Vince Lombardi 151 Packers Mike Holmgren 154 Packers/Seahawks Mike Tomlin 157 Steelers Bill Cowher 158 Steelers Paul Brown 160 Browns If McDermott wins tomorrow he'll have 93 wins in 140 games. Unless the Bills run the table he won't reach 100 wins this season. At his current regular season winning percentage (.661) he'll need 10 or 11 more games to reach 100 which would put him at 150-151 games. If McDermott doesn't win the 2026 Super Bowl he'll be the only one in the top 10 without a Super Bowl win as a head coach. Finally, Andy Reid is the only HC with over 100 wins with 2 different teams... and Reid finally won a Super Bowl in his 21st season as a head coach.

That was your first mistake... 😆 If you want people to actually read your posts, never put 'em in the game day thread!

True, though Hyde rejoined the Bills in December so his time with Bishop was fairly short.

Great post and yes, whatever field you're talking about, progression is not always linear. It can happen suddenly, thus the light switch analogy. And there can be regressions mixed in as well. It was sadly unforgettable. I will say that every highly drafted player that isn't instantly successful gets lambasted by a large percentage of posters here. TJ Sanders and Landon Jackson are getting roasted unfairly at this very moment. Until this year Bishop's mentors were Rapp and Hamlin. Having Poyer and Tre White in the backfield with him has been very beneficial to Bishop. That's a pretty huge infusion in credentials and knowledge of the system. I didn't know if Bishop was a sure thing but I certainly wasn't writing him off either. You never know if a player can meet expectations until they consistently do. On that deep incompletion to Worthy (which was almost DPI) it was great watching Hairston essentially toying with him... displaying for all the world to see that he's just as fast as Worthy but bigger and stronger. Yes, but people on this board complain about everything. Take me for instance, I complain about people complaining!

It'll be interesting to see to what degree if any, his career mortality causes him to try to be a better teammate... or if he'll fail miserably. As was just mentioned, there's probably some element of mental illness at work here too. Well, that's what parents are for.

Thanks for posting this. I'd be curious to know what Spags did in the 2nd Half to reduce the effectiveness of our running game. That's a good question and I'd generally be curious to know about the few times other teams have been able to limit our run game effectiveness. Also it'll be interesting to see if the tight ends become more prevalent in the downfield passing game as the video illustrated. Like almost everyone else here, I feel like the Bills O seems like it's only missing one piece and that piece would work off play action very nicely.

I don't watch the Cover 1 stuff. I saw Solomon lined up inside but don't recall it happening before. The times I've noticed him lined up at edge it seems he's still prone to being enveloped. Yes, Spector's problem was never that he sucked so much as it was he could never stay healthy. So you admit to having macro-dosed today!

I'm sorry to hear that and it reminds me that Joe Erhmann played at Riverside HS and then for the Baltimore Colts. Sorry. Ray Hall... McKinley HS, Canisius College and a few NBA training camps. Cliff was an excellent player. He played 18 seasons in the NBA and is credited with helping create the "Stretch 4" position, a power forward who can shoot from beyond the arc. At the time of his retirement he was the tallest NBA player (6'10") to shoot over 1000 career threes.

Yes, I mentioned the late Mike Williams... he of Riverside HS, Syracuse University, and the Bills.

I can only estimate the number of times I watched this before I finally moved on... Hopefully it'll be cathartic because it's amazing what he did simply because he couldn't get laid... It does beg the question exactly how much a Super Bowl victory from 56 years ago is worth. Yes, Sanchez was the ass-ailant. You're kidding right? Link? I guess that would make Brandon Moore a real hardass.

Do we know any more about this kid? Where he grew up, etc? "Alright Fogerty... it's garbage time... get in there for Paderewski..." Rob Gronkowski Ron Jaworski Don Majkowski Shane Conlan Bill Bergey Jim Dombrowski Darryl Johnston Jim Burt Phil McConkey Ron Wolfley Craig Wolfley Vaughn Parker James Starks Joe Andreesen Chuck Crist Eugene Goodlow Mike Williams Who are we missing? Bob Lanier Ray Allen Lester Rowe Calling @boyst. I repeat, calling @boyst... More than players, haven't they actually turned out several NFL coaches/front office guys? That's right... Will Smith was murdered in a road rage confrontation... sad story. He had a reputation as a really good guy if I recall correctly.

That's an ambiguous statement. What kind of ass are we talking about? Not only did both teams have more penalties than first downs... they had more penalties than points. Not to mention the dropped passes, gift-wrapped INTs, and missed field goals. Unfortunately for the Raiders, as bad as he is Geno's the least of their problems. Did you have nightmares?

Okay but just so I can sleep tonight, who's the other guy? 😜

Hmmm... how did I completely miss that. The only times I've noticed Solomon, he was ineffectually playing on the edge. Thank you. "You phaquing guys both live down here and neither of you broke dyks had a freaking game plan?????!!!!!?!??!?!?" I would love to see Davis, Johnson, Hawes and Moore lead this team to a resounding victory. This is why it's ridiculous to talk about who plays and who doesn't on a Tuesday. Now that we have more solid info, I would say: Start Benford and play him as little as possible/pull him as soon as possible. Hold Taron out to let him recover more/see how Lewis does. Hold out DaQuan and Palmer and trust that we can win without them. They're more important down the road than they are this weekend... assuming a win. I don't disagree with you but isn't it someone else here who carries the "there's no such a thing as a trap game" torch? Agreed though I'd like to see them play as few snaps as possible. The feeling's mutual and I'm sorry to the many people here that I've offended. It's our passion for the team that causes us to behave poorly at times. Of course, because the Dolphins "Wish it were colder."

I don't think so... red checkered table cloths weren't introduced into the US until the 20th century...

It's crazy that the President of the United States who was assassinated in Buffalo, is buried in the home city of the Pro Football Hall of Fame... which is almost as crazy as the owner of Buffalo's football team naming said team after the historical figure who was famous for killing the animal which symbolizes the city.

I think it was the same deal with William McKinley... the surgeons botched the retrieval of the bullet so badly that they did much greater damage than "the assassin."

Yeah the Raiders looked a gift bronco in the mouth.

Denver has to be nervous that it's still only a 3 point game... Raiders just hanging around...

Reminds me of the ballyhooed heave from Tua to Waddle in that Miami X post...

They're not allowed to dispense smelling salts anymore so maybe syringes of Toredol?

AB's an easy target but it really is kind of sad.

The highest expression of the art of football... BTW, condolences on your death.
