Bill from NYC

I am NOT defending talking heads, but the truth is that if Josh had better receivers, the Bills would have had increased TOP, thus keeping the Chiefs off of the field and decreasing their offensive numbers. Perhaps it even would have prevented McDermott from calling stupid plays like that fake punt.

Yes and I would like to have a word with dopey ass Whaley. He gave away the store for Watkins. The only problems were that our QB and OL sucked at the time. You know.....little things. I hated that trade the day it was made and was right here bitching about it. If we had stayed at 9 we could have drafted Aaron Donald or Odell Beckham Jr. (if they really wanted a receiver). Whaley was a horror show. He gave away the store. https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2014/story/_/id/10903086/2014-nfl-draft-buffalo-bills-trade-pick-sammy-watkins-no-4

No doubt!

Brady will have little to no say. McDermott is calling the shots.

Maybe they should trade up for another corner, right? I mean it worked so well with Elam. And who needs Mahomes when one can draft Tre White to play in a zone? This applies to some beleagured Bills fans..... https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/what-is-stockholm-syndrome

Something that utterly stupid would not surprise me for one second.

I haven't seen much of him but he sounds good. That said, I am not so sure about McDermott being willing to draft a WR in round one, need withstanding. I mean after all, the safeties are getting a bit long in the tooth, no? 😒

McDermott was given far too much power upon his arrival, power he didn't deserve nor was he ready for. He proved this by trading away the Mahomes pick (#10). He traded all the way back to 27, was undercompensated, and drafted a cornerback. This, on a team in desperate need of a QB and OL. Even after Beane came in the drafts emphasized defense, and I make the case that McDermott is in charge. I have said before that I believe that McDermott has the power to fire Beane. Tell me, who do you think fired our OC and Frazier? Beane? McDermott would more than likely make a good head coach on a team that did not give him full control. He has come a long way since he was fired by the Eagles in 2011, but; he started out on the wrong foot with the Bills and is not what this team needs to go too the next level. As always, jmo.

Thanks for a well presented, sensible, and very funny post. Bravo!!!

You make good and valid points but you gotta admit, that was a pretty expensive one sack in terms of Miller and Oliver alone, no?

Not even a little weird. It is a 100% legit question imo. I am not as furious as I might have been had I not known the problems that the Bills were facing before the game. I was already disillusioned with McDermott in terms of the power he has and his horrible philosophy of team building. Many (if not most of us) will never in our lifetime see a QB as talented as Josh Allen on the Bills. It might never even happen. Last night was a fine example of what will occur when a team uses their best resources on defense, instead of giving Josh the tools that he needs and deserves. That said, McDermott isn't going anywhere and it will be interesting to see which way he goes in the future. I for one hope that he goes to another team but this is jmo.

You will be back. Just try to relax and let your blood alcohol level decrease.

Wrong. Thanks to McDermott. I pray that all goes well and you have a full and speedy recovery.

My take on the game, and the state of the team: 1) Seeing the Bills Fans crying on TV was a semi-traumatic experience for me. It was just so sad. Bills Fans are clearly the most loyal fans of any team in any sport. It really hurt to see these wonderful, loyal folks this upset. 2) Josh is GREAT!!! He is more talented than John Elway. They should extend him today with a HUGE raise, and I don't care how many years are left on his contract. 3) I think that most of us long time fans knew that there was every chance that he would miss that FG. 4) Without Josh, the Bills are just a pretty good team with a fairly decent coach (who has far too much power). 5) I strongly doubt that McDermott will be fired. Pegula appears to be spellbound by him. 6) The upcoming draft will be pivotal. The team desperately needs wide receivers and must continue to bolster the offensive line. Josh HAS to be protected. Will McDermott focus on these issues? It's really hard to say. Am I super confident that he will? No. 7) GO BILLS TODAY, TOMORROW, and FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You better think twice About leavin' me behind Make up your mind About what you're gonna do You take my advice Oh, woman, you've got to choose Take a little time You've got nothing more to lose

He is GREAT at every phase of his position. Best freshman DB I ever watched. He led Alabama in tackles. He is also great on the run, picks off passes and blitzes well. He even has great hands when returning punts. This kid is going to rip the Big 10 apart.

The Bills are going to win this game. Like the OP, I was not even a little surprised at the 13 second debacle. This time it's different. Much different. Josh is playing GREAT at this point. He looks virtually unstoppable. It is nothing short of a pleasure to watch him play. He is doing all this without a great receiving corps but he is just so good it hardly seems to matter. The Chiefs? I can't turn on my TV without Mahomes being in a commercial, and Kelce would appear to be busy trying to calculate how much money he can get from Taylor Swift. Just how hungry can they be? Motivated enough to face us in fridgid conditions in front of thousands of screaming maniacs? I hardly think so. Oh.....and screw the Chiefs! Buffalo Bills 37 - State Farm Swifts 14 GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gideon come in with his eyes on the floor Says: "y'ain't got a hinge, you can't close the door" Moses stood up a full six foot ten Says: "you can't close the door when the wall's caved in"

Of course.

Good luck but he was no great shakes at Alabama.

We will also see what happens in Michigan if Harbaugh goes to the NFL. It will probably pay a bit less but it is a much easier job, and there are already lots of openings. He can probably pick and choose an NFL team.

We don't make no party out of lovin' We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy Like the hippies out in San Francisco do And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee A place where even squares can have a ball We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all

You tell me you're lonely, I know how you feel Leaning up at the bars, rocking back on my heels She's a wild bird that wanders, too easy to stray I knew she had to lose me to find her own way Oh, Corey, I'll be coming soon Through the Louisiana pines to the Mississippi moon Through the Louisiana pines to the Mississippi moon

When I think about those nights in Montreal I get the sweetest thoughts of you and me Memories of love above the city lights Oooo, I've tried so hard to take it But alone my heart won't make it I just wanna stop And tell you what I feel about you, babe I just wanna stop I never wanna live without you, babe I just gotta stop For your love...

I got troubles, whoa-oh I got worries, whoa-oh I came home again But I woke up this morning You were on my mind... And You were on my mind Yeah, I got troubles, whoa-oh I got worries, whoa-oh I got wounds, to bind
