  1. Except that isnt the case here either. Russ aint no CEO. He's middle management, with little to no influence on hiring and firing, and throwing an after-work event that cuts into personal time. Half is decent. I dont think Wilson is very loved there right now, but I'd think this is better than expected given all the recent stories.
  2. At 34 and just starting this contract, I dont think his brand matters much anymore. This will likely be his last contract even if he was playing well. And with $161M guaranteed, I'd play for any coach.
  3. Oh hell yes. 3 day VIP pass heading my way! Tenacious D and Mars Volta on same stage?!?
  4. Yes. Both are absolutely horrible. About half is a pretty good turn out. There's been a lot of debate online about what this Tweet is trying to say. I'm in the camp that thinks it shows more support for Wilson. Getting half the company to an event would be considered successful for one of our events.
  5. lol, 1:30 in, Bentley jawing into the RBs ear after a tackle and shoving him down. Could never get away with that today.
  6. If we manage to pull it off, it would be quite the 30 For 30 story. Going back to getting screwed by McKissic and WFT which made us lose out on both McKissic and Wallace, the Araiza debacle, Saffold's car accident, Knox's brother passing, each and every injury on what has been the previously healthiest team, the illnesses, moving a home game to Detroit... Let alone all the stuff that has happened in-game like fumbling the snap to give the Vikings the go ahead TD. It's just ridiculous. And we still have 1/3 of the season left!
  7. Sounds about right to what we've been seeing on the field. Which is a big concern and bummer as far as our Super Bowl aspirations go, because one thing that every SB champion has in common is a good amount of luck breaking their way through the season. As the old saying goes "it's better to be lucky than to be good"
  8. Not only did we make Wallace an offer, but we would have made a competing/winning offer had we not gotten dicked around by McKissic in Washington. Beane was very upfront and transparent (read:pissed off) that had they known McKissic was going to stay in Washington, and had they known Washington was going to make a matching offer, he wouldve spent those resources on bringing back Wallace.
  9. He also had a huge fumble against the Lions in the 4th quarter, down 12, as Giants were mounting a comeback. Hodgins turned the ball over to the Lions at the Giants' own 30 yard line, and instead of a comeback, prompted the Lions to score again quickly and put the nail in the coffin.
  10. Yeah, his low numbers keep him out of the Sort, but if you drill down you can find him. 8 Tackles, 2 Misses. 20% miss rate. Not sure where the 66% is coming from at all. Unless they are counting QB Pressures against him as missed tackles, because he has 8 pressures. That would be 8/18, or 10 misses for 66%. So maybe. But that would be doing AJ dirty.
  11. I wonder where Cover1 is pulling that from, because while tackling has been bad, things dont look so dire when sorting by Missed Tackle % here: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2022/defense_advanced.htm
  12. It's always only "Win the Super Bowl"
  13. Yeah I dont get it. Agreed on the 2nd Bye week that was mentioned tho.
  14. Romo and Nantz are entertaining enough. The Thanksgiving broadcast mucks things up as well. So much time talking about fluff, or playing puff pieces, instead of showing TD replays or game highlights/analysis. Whatever. Taking the win, and we're on to New England.
  15. One of the group texts had everyone SCREAMING for just one quick slant. We finally got one, I believe to Diggs in like the 4th quarter. Maybe it is not having the slot expert/vet available. I'd hope Hines could make that up with Crowder out. No reason to be throwing 20 yard crossers when we need 2-3 yards. Use the quick slant if we MUST pass.
  16. Happy Birthday, dude!
  17. I've done enough McKenzie bashing for this year. So I'll just say I've been happy to see his role reduced, and he shouldnt have been given the ball on the 2pt conversion either.
  18. Lots of good points, but I want to focus on this one. It's a much bigger problem than 3rd and 2. In the Vikings game we had 3 2nd half possessions in a row stall on 2nd and 2 because we couldnt pick up 6 effing feet on 2 tries. We get into short yardage situations and Dorsey calls plays that sends everyone 10-20 yards downfield. This continued all through the Browns game too. For as complicated as modern NFL Xs and Os can be, football is still a simple game. Line up and move the frickin ball. It blows my mind
  19. Hines on returns was our best Offensive weapon and he didnt even have an Offensive touch at that point. The field position he was giving us was crucial. Get this dude in the game plan already!
  20. Gives me a little solace to see that the rich are getting scammed in crypto too 🤣
  21. I get the math behind the decision. Coaches have cards that have all the formulas of exactly when they should and shouldnt go for 2. So if it is one of those scenarios, I can justify listening to the formula. However, if you need 2 TOUGH yards, then McKenzie is the last player who should be getting the ball. He doesnt have the mass or power to fight for extra inches. He has already illustrated this numerous times. He reminds me of Roscoe Parrish. Fast, agile, athletic, but doesnt have the mass to absorb hits in the NFL. Not blaming it on McKenzie, he can't help his size. If we were going to run, it should be a power run with the snap taken under Center to give the RB a chance to get a head of steam before hitting the line. Or if we are going to run McKenzie outside, get him in motion so he already has momentum going. I'm frustrated with once again leaving easy points on the field, and wish we would've just taken the 1. But I can justify that decision. The playcall and personnel is my issue on this play. If we ran that with Hines, I'd bet he gets in simply due to having 30lbs and more power than McK.
  22. So I'm nuts to think that the folks with the high-ranking connections and unlimited resources should have a better plan than "I hope the neighbors dig us out"? If anything, the Bills should be digging their neighbors out. Mario Williams did this with his Bobcat. Got Jim Kelly and a few other people cleared, delivered them all groceries. THAT is how it should be done.
  23. I mean, sure. This is the same list of convenient excuses folks have been making for the past month, and I guess will continue to make as this goes into the last quarter of the season. I understand my place as a fan, meaning, nothing I say or ask really affects anything in the Bills' lives, so I dont think it's unreasonable to be wondering what is going on and when he'll be coming back. Especially when it is our Defensive Secondary unit that has been demolished by injuries and we are desperate for serviceable players. I'm curious at what point you would start asking? You waiting until the playoffs to question it? The Pats game? I'll be waiting to see, just like you. But damn, already...
  24. Sure, just like his Yachts when he isnt in Florida and Jets when he isnt traveling.
