Great write up, @Virgil. Thanks as always. I put this loss squarely and solely on the shoulders of our coaches. Mainly, Dabol and McD. I really dont care about individual player performance this week because the coaches 100% set them up to fail. You simply can NOT have "5-wide" as your base offense. Especially against a Defense like Pittsburgh. Going 5-wide tells the D we are obviously passing. This allows two big things: The DL to tee off at the snap, without having to worry about any reads, and just go straight after the QB. This puts a ton of additional pressure on the OLine, and we saw it result in the Holds that were called (and plenty more that weren't called). The OL was holding on for dear life most of the game. This isnt because they simply suck. It's because the DL had a green light to go 100% pass rush every play. the D to drop 7 into coverage, and into a soft zone. Clogging up every passing lane, and covering every opportunity. Giving Josh NOTHING to work with. He couldnt even "take what the D gives him" because they weren't giving him anything. No need when our plan is so obvious. It was DISASTROUS right from the jump. It was obvious that Dabol had a "first drive script" that was likely planned for starting at our own 25 after a touchback. Instead, McKenzie gifted us great field position and all the momentum... and the OC blew it by refusing to deviate from the plan. Coming out 5-wide all 3 plays and taking a Field Goal pretty much set the weak, disappointing tone for the rest of the day.

Not SOL but ALGO to the moooooooooooooooon

For what it's worth, that is almost impossible to enforce proactively. And is really just there in case he ever gets in any more trouble, they can slap him with a trespassing charge as well. May have trouble buying tickets directly from the team, but not sure that is even enforceable (what if it's a common name?). As long as he behaves himself, he can still attend games without issue.

Would love it, but doubtful he is still there at #32. If the rest of his season goes like last Saturday, he could be top-10.

In that case, I revise my score prediction. Bills 41 Steelers 3 Watt blocks an extra point.

What type of Buffalonian doesnt keep their beer in the fridge in the finished garage with the astroturf and fullsize screen door?

Ugh, no, major pass for me. She looks like a fat Vin Diesel.

Impeach King Hammer! (jk, keep up the good work and GO BILLS!)

For what it's worth, Michael Robinson on the show also picked the Bills. Even though he technically wore a Chiefs jersey and picked the Chiefs, he qualified it multiple times with "I am actually picking the Bills but dont want to jinx it and am using reverse psychology". He winced through his whole segment about the Chiefs, and kept talking about the Bills, and at the very end when they pressed him on who he really thought would win he sheepishly said "...Bills". Feels nice to be America's sweetheart for once!

This may be the most positive post I've ever seen from you.

I think he was joking. Or folks were confused. It even says in the original video, he has been paying for the diamond in installments since 2017. The procedure is just a normal surface piercing like so many of the kids have nowadays.

The diamond is supposedly worth $24M, not the procedure. (side note: the "diamond" isnt worth that much either.)

Chevy beat me by MONTHS. Didnt even see this when I went to the new post update today. Credit where it is due.

Welcome to America!

Couple of things. Milwaukee counts in their market, which isnt much bigger than Buffalo but it's not just the Green Bay area that is counted. Heck, they even get some of the Chicago market. Plus, brand value comes into play as well. The history and championships do mean something. It's a big part of what makes the Cowboys the most valuable team, and why Jerry Jones will always volunteer for Hard Knocks (keeping that brand in the spotlight, any spotlight). I mean, the Championship trophy is named after Green Bay's old coach. There is big brand value there compared to the Bills.

Nope, its all about the market size, TV revenue, and local corporate availability for suites.

I'll let them have this dumb twitter contest. We're going to stomp them into the turf irl this Sunday.

The Bills provide a list and an interactive map to help find this as well... https://www.buffalobills.com/fans/bills-backers/

Agreed. I think most of it has to do with that inexperienced QB. He left a lot of easy yards on the field when he refused to scramble, or just tuck it and run. (And UGA being pretty good of course)

It's one of the symptoms of success. There really isnt much to complain about nowadays, or even debate over. Heck, our own threads here have died down, and have wilted into arguments over whether our weakest position is CB depth or TE depth. Not even a starting position! Makes for fun times, but boring radio.

Jordan Davis really showed out Saturday night. Looking like a lock at a 1st round pick. Probably well before we go at #32.

Was so disappointed when I turned Sal and Joe's new show on today, and in their introduction they explained "We really want this show to focus on fan input from the phones and social media". That's the last thing we need. I get it is tough to come up with 2 hours of content every single weekday. But damn, please don't focus the show on the infamous "WGR callers".

While I believe the main point of this thread was specific to Bills In-Game Song Traditions, since it has taken a turn to the more general "stadium music", I'll share the playlist we put together for the Bills Backers Atlanta club that goes to Whitehall Tavern. Not put together in any order, and usually functions better on Shuffle. List of "generically" popular stadium anthem bangers...
