Dr. Who

And of course.

It was Dawkins, apparently.

I have yet to see Harty run fast, despite the FA expenditure to get him. But otherwise, I do think there is reason to hope, but very little runway, so no room for bad weeks.

Other than watching football for decades, I am hardly an expert. So, this is impressionistic, rather than numbers analysis like you hard core folks do. It seemed like Dorsey's use of the run game was random or sometimes apparently stubborn to the point of absurdity (Goal line shotgun runs or not using Josh Allen on fourth-and-one when the qb sneak appeared a no-brainer.) If Brady can truly integrate the run game into some tactically meaningful sequences, that would be a significant improvement. For whatever reason, the way Dorsey called a game was predictable. Apart from that, I still think our relative weakness at WR2 is a constant drag on the offense. Hopefully, Brady will find the right folks to emphasize, week-to-week.

Because they realize 3 points is an insurmountable lead.

I think Brady is going to have to legally change his name. I know I'm old and I still think San Diego when I see Chargers and the name that can't be mentioned when I see Washington, but honestly, every time someone mentions the offense and Brady, I have a momentary visceral feeling of nausea accompanied by a brief mental disconnect, before the meaning suddenly becomes clear.

Wonder if those Chiefs' fans that like to come to our board will show up to celebrate.

Stop channeling airseven.

I understand your predilections and your reasoning. It would be utterly out-of-character for you to come to a different conclusion. I'd prefer to roll the dice on Ben Johnson if they can get him. I wouldn't change the staff just to change, but I'd rather go with an offensive specialist as head coach. This era of football needs excellence and continuity on that side of the field. Defense is still important, but if you have to favor one side, I think it is not the one McDermott prizes.

I think the argument about the effect of McDermott's proclivities on Josh Allen is plausible. I also believe that folks have innate tendencies that don't change. McDermott would be happier with a Bob Griese at qb, given his psychology and preferred football strategies. The Bills need to draft more o-line and wr early. And they need a gifted offensive playcaller as HC. Go get Ben Johnson, Terry Pegula, and stop risking ruining the once-in-a-lifetime franchise qb you were fortunate enough to draft.

Terry better have Ben Johnson on speed dial.

Plausible. It's still a mess. Sure didn't expect to be focusing on the Sabres this early in the year.

He seems to consistently come up small in pressure situations.

Dak takes a sack, let's the clock run down, then throws short of the end zone.

I've never been tempted to go to another team's message board. It just seems like an invitation for ill-will. You seem to think you're the victim of injustice. I don't know you. I recollect finding you insincere and annoying last year, but my memory is hazy on that. There's no way to verify whether you are indeed a golden gloves pugilist and veteran. What I can verify is how you interact with folks I know for years as posters here. Some of them are consistently insightful, and generally quite decent to others. The fact that you have come here for several years and provoked them is not evidence in your favor. And really, what is the meaning of these tough guy poses? That by itself hardly radiates maturity.

Happy birthday, fella!

The only time I see what that fella posts is when someone quotes him. He's only here to troll and say nasty things about anything the Bills do.

Easy enough to do. And just for the record, my scarf is only moderately tight.

So sweet to see the Chiefs lose. And sweeter still to a crap team. Not too often you'll see a team beat the Chiefs with just 114 yards passing... So if we lose next week do they still remain a “crap” team? The bolded was the original statement that I did not make that you responded to. Your statement appeared a non-sequitur to me, because it was not evident how whether the Bills win or lose next week had any relevance as to whether the Broncos were a "crap" team. That was what my actual comment was about. Your further responses confirm what a fine fellow you are indeed.

I'm responding to your response. I didn't make the original statement.

Why even ask that question? And Denver is generally considered not good, so what's your point? Are Bills' fans not allowed to be happy when the competition loses? Maybe you're not annoyed by all the Mahomes commercials or the favorable calls that seem to help them out late in the game, but plenty of folks are.

The bad teams winning this week means fewer sellers. Still think Beane will try to make a small move to bolster the D.

Understood. I initially reacted to the same thing.

Fella, it's a joke. Someone upthread declared them unstoppable after the first touchdown. I responded by declaring it a bit premature for those sorts of announcements, with the further assertion that they were currently stoppable because SF had answered. The whole enterprise is dubious . . .

Never met a donut he didn't love. Bengals pretty close to going back to unstoppable, btw.
