Yes, it was!

More like Texas

As if it makes a difference.

Yes, but they should not have been in that position. They became complacent and let time run off the clock, and handed the ball off to Gore for a minimal gain, then called time out. Nearly 30 seconds of time was lost during that sequence. The Texans defense was reeling, and the Bills gave them a break.

Yes, this was painful. However, the big difference in the game to me, and this falls on the coaching staff, was at the end of the first half when the Bills settled for a field goal instead of a touchdown. Remember that last drive in the first half? I believe we started that drive on our own 4 yard line. The offense was moving that ball at a good pace and the Texans defense was having a tough time stopping them. Then when the Bills get a first down with about 1:30 to go in the half, and with 2 timeouts, just outside the Texans 20, the Bills let the clock run. No urgency. I believe they called a running play with Gore gaining maybe 2 yards, letting over 20 seconds run off the clock, then the Bills call time out. Yes, this was the same drive that Duke Williams dropped the touchdown pass in the end zone, but the Bills had an opportunity to do more than try and score on a big play. They kick the field goal and go up 13-0, when they had a real chance of being up 17-0. The Bills had a chance to put the Texans in a big hole at halftime. Not to mention give the Texans defense a real demoralizer by going on a 96 yard touchdown drive before halftime. Whether it was Daboll or McDermott's decision to go with this approach, I see this as a big reason why the Bills lost the game.

It's great to see the Bills re-signing their own players at this time of year. Won't have to worry about it later in the year when it starts to become a distraction. Congratulations, Dion! GO BILLS!!!

The one thing that a lot of us are missing are the intangibles that players like Lee Smith brings to the team. Sean McDermott brings players in for specific reasons. He loves Lee Smith as a leader, moreso than as a player. If Smith makes the roster, don't be surprised if he becomes a team captain. The same can be said for players like Taiwan Jones, Patrick DiMarco & Tyler Matakevich. These players are primarily used on Special Teams, instead of their normal positions. I personally think that we could find better players than Lee Smith & Taiwan Jones, but I understand why McDermott has them on the roster.

Fair point.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'm looking forward to what Knox can do this season, and I think he is very capable of becoming a top notch TE in the league, but he needs to show that to us first.

Agreed. Not that Kittle hasn't earned it, but WOW! Is this going to be the norm for contracts on TE's going forward?

You want him to dress like Tom Landry?

Loving this! Still trusting the process, and glad to see McDermott being rewarded for what he has brought to the Bills!

I doubt any of the players are happy about this.

Alfred. Nothing more needs to be said.

So will they grant Seniors who are not guaranteed an NFL career another year of eligibility to play next year?

And how many games will they play? 3?

I agree. Just cancel the whole season. Playing in the spring is pointless.

How is that going to work? Will all Seniors and Juniors who want to enter the draft just skip the entire season? Are we looking at a bunch of Frosh/Soph squads?

This was why I was hoping that the Bills would draft two WR's this year. Some people thought it would be a waste of draft picks. Saying why would we want two rookie receivers who would be fighting for the #5 & 6 spots? Also, since we traded for Diggs we were already set at WR. Hearing Brown's comments is very encouraging. Big picture, people. GO BILLS!!!

Maybe not a tirade, more like a fit.

Sheesh, the guy was just expressing concern for him, no need to go on a sarcastic tirade. Be cool.

I meant the real creature. Draco Gaseous Nauseous Respiratorus.

Beware of the Green Dragon.
