JV defense

My parents used to have one of those really big thermos type things. They used to put the cans of beer and flasks of booze in there during the first several years at Rich Stadium. I remember the crowd was always pretty hammered. One year we played the Colts with QB Bert Jones. A guy near us seemed to only be able to say "Hurt Bert" every few minutes. Childhood memories to be savored.

I was at that game. My first game, I was 6. I was in a full "snowmobile suit" as we called them back then. Serious pia to take a leak while wearing one of those. I don't remember any guns. I do remember it was a tie however.

Bills 33 Pats 17

A couple more thoughts. I think given his long career and tremendous production, Bruce is a proven all time great player. Allen doesn't have the longevity or records yet, but he is very much the MVP to his team and probably the whole NFL this year. I don't know that any defensive player could be MVP in the modern NFL. Bruce was one of the best ever at his position. Allen may end up there. P.S. I will gladly contribute to a statue fund if they win the SB with him at QB. I also remember the whole stadium yelling "Juice, Juice, Juice!!". Pretty exciting stuff for a 3rd or 4th grader who got to go to one game a year...

Meh, the Vikings netted a few yards via that interception. But when you are 4-9, I'd intercept it too. Pad them stats.

Tremaine Edmunds has such an athletic profile. Sure am glad we let him walk. He is truly great at making tackles from behind and watching the safeties make tackles.

Got to maintain the focus. Can't come in flat. End it early.

Josh might be eventually, but if you saw the 90's Bills you know we are getting a bit ahead of ourselves here. This season I think Allen deserves the MVP. I'm not even saying it was Bruce. But the man was like a great white shark on the field. The opposing offense had to know where he was on every play. One of the best difference makers of all time.

Its awesome when the Bills win. Makes for a good week of checking websites and listening to podcasts. But everyone should realize no team has ever won the Superbowl with a defense that gives up this many points. I'm not trying to be a downer here, I'm just pointing out the concern is real. There is time to "fix" it. But the problem is McDermott is iron clad wedded to the scheme, and IMO we just don't have the players this year to consistently properly execute the scheme or rise above it. We have to pressure the passer and play really disciplined zone. Because even when healthy we can't get away with playing man very often. It's all about the pass rush and getting decent LB and DB play. We've had trouble the last two weeks getting those at the same time. So as I see it, if we don't tighten up somewhat on defense, Josh has to go historic super human mode 3 or 4 games in a row to get to the promised land. It's possible, but not likely.

This was a helluva win. I really didn't expect the Bills to win prior to the game, but as soon as it got started you could tell we had a chance. The Lions are a very legit team, though Goff did not play perfectly (unlike Stafford last week). I hope we can get our defense playing consistently at all three levels in the near future. With JA now in his ultra prime years, I think the offense can score enough. Keep the turnover differential in positive territory and anything is possible.

Funky not good. He is a tough mf but we need an easy game week here.

I'm a big Milano fan. I'm ok with him trying to get back into the flow of the games. He is a gamer for sure. But right now we are better off with Williams IMO.

Oliver needs to play this hard every week

40 points for both teams two weeks in a row is not conducive to a healthy hypertension level. I'll take it. Defense played ok for a while. But sheesh. Offense not bad. 😁

I loves me a defensive timeout. They always work. OR NOT

Andreesen might be better than Spector

We are one step away from Buffalo Joe

You might get it

This is mildly ridiculous

Yikes

Only 3 active safeties today I believe

Safeties need to get back here

That's why they are backups...
