Podcasts have certainly changed the game because you now have a menu of options and you can kind of go after whatever you want to consume. Joe Marino is best on class when it comes to a concise, informed, intelligent podcast. He knows football, he watches film, he comes to his own conclusions....and he communicates it all on a high level. I live in South Jersey and I like to tune into Schoop and Bulldog in the afternoons here and there. I know Schoop is a polarizing figure in Buffalo, but I'm a big fan of his. Like Joe Marino I think he's pretty informed and he has his own thoughts..like it hate some of those opinions he's at least authentic and he's a good communicator. Bulldog paired with Mike is good too. Bulldog on his own, when Mike is out is a trainwreck. He's nervous and the show is a tough listen. It's weird when I tune in to the afternoon show I can almost immediately tell if Mike is out because Bulldog just has a much more nervous style when he's out .

I've got a pair in section 232 if you're interested. I'll beat the prices and insane fees you'll have to pay through stubhub. Send me a message or respond in this thread of interested. They are row 3, seats 1 and 2 on the aisle

The New McDermott - Great Buscaglia Article

I'll believe it when I see it with him. I've seen the aggression, esp. against inferior opponents in the reg. Season and I do respect it ....... But the playoffs have been a different animal. 8 need to see it in the highest of leverage situations, with the season on the line to really believe the conservative Sean is finally gone -
I'd give 2 1sts in a heart beat. I'd probably give 2 1sts and a 2nd. 3 1sts is where I start to back off....thinking it's. A bit too steep of a price

This game was particularly rough for me because it wasn't super cold that day so I wasn't dressed as warm as I should've been. As I recall the weather was maybe low 40s, but when the wind and rain kicked it it felt much colder than that. I remember my college buddy bought one of those cheap ponchos on the walk into the stadium, which are basically a trash bag. He was absolutely soaked and freezing by halftime. In order to warm up during halftime I followed a caterer into a climate controlled area at halftime, only to get booted out when they saw me hanging in the corner, shivering, clearly not belonging in such a warm, pristine environment, lol. Stayed to the end, but that was the last time I came to a game so I'll prepared for the elements. The Bills actually got out to a lead that game and the Giants kicked the Bills doors in and won that game to go to 8-7 and needed a win the following week just to get into the playoffs. 4 wins later and they were holding up the Lombardi.

I liked him a lot. Good size, fairly accurate and good escapability and ability to throw from different platforms. I think he's going to be a guy. Showed some serious toughness too
-
If he could learn to snap his head around and locate the football he'd be alright. He's a frenetic CB, who seems to panic instead of just remaining calm and trusting his technique. You can see the raw talent, but his chaotic play at the mesh point explains why he plays so little

You're probabaly right, I don't disagree. COTY generally goes to a newer coach that has way over exceeded the win total expectation, which is why Kevin O'Connell is the current favorite. That said Andy Reid is now the 4th betting fav. at +750. Selfishly, I have a nice lil bet on him at 66/1, so one can wish!
-
I think after Andy Reid wins this week with Carson Wentz @ QB his candidacy for COTY will be in overdrive, and deservedly so.

Bills open up as 6.5 point favorites vs. 49ers. This line indicates Purdy isn't playing. After the news of Purdy missing the Packers game broke the 49ers went from a small underdog to 5.5 point underdogs. I don't think the Bills would be 6.5 point favs with Purdy playing, likely would be in the -3 or 4 range

Spot on. Allen is so quick to want to move off his spot to any pressure or even perceived pressure...... That it seems to make the screen game very difficult. Like you said you need to invite the rush toward you, accept the rush patiently then deliver the throw. Too often Allen rushes off his spot which creates a very disjointed, difficult pass to get the screen started. I've heard Greg Cosell talking a lot about the Bills disjointed passing game and Allen's too often abandoning clean pockets......and I thought today was a glaring example of both. The wins are all that matters, but there's a slice of me that is growing concerned with this passing offense. Can you win 3-4 straight in the playoffs with this offense? Not sure
-
Profootball doc is saying on X that next week is very much in doubt for Kincaid. Not a long-term injury, but seems likely he'll miss next week, which would give him 3 weeks rest going into 49ers game. Going to be a tough ask for the offense with no Kincaid, no Coleman and Cooper iffy....I happen to think they'll have Cooper based on Allen's comments this past week, but it's shaky
-
Psl's are such a bad buy for consumers. Wait until 40 mins before kickoff and get a really good seat for $250-350. Do that a few times a year and you're in for 1000ish a season..beats the hell out of clunking down 5-10k on a useless PSL thats worth absolutely nothing. If you have the money fine, but if you're on the fence at all it's a hard pass IMO

They should've taken a timeout. They had 3 Chances to score a TD and take a 4 point lead. They squandered 1 of those 3 plays on an obvious run with Tribusky on the field for no gain. That to me was asinine. And I believe they called a timeout on the next play when they broke the huddle late with Allen rushed back on the field. We needed a TD there bad and to waste a play with Tribusky under center was insanely stupid
