The whole organization is to blame for Elam being picked on today, hurting the Bills pass defense. First of all, since the Bills play heavy zone coverage, they used a 1st round pick on Elam, known for man coverage. Of course it initially sounds like trying to put a square peg in a round hole but they must’ve felt his talent could help him make the transition. It didn’t work in Year 1 and he was beaten out for the starting CB position by Benford, the 7th round pick of the same draft. The organization must have thought Elam could develop as they’ve kept him on the roster for now 3 seasons. However, he has spent most games as an inactive. Go into this season and this game and Elam is the 3rd CB? They should’ve been better prepared since Benford had been in concussion protocol. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the NFL seems to be loose with their roster rules as teams seem to add players to their roster during the playoffs. Yes, I can already hear the comments about bringing in a street free agent and expecting him to do any better with no familiarity of the system. We all saw Elam out there today and he was not good. I’ve seen Cam Lewis make more plays so I don’t know why he was not inserted into the lineup to replace Benford.

I have long been on the side of “you don’t dump a coach that wins division titles” but I am finally leaning the other way. There is precedent of course. Chuck Knox won division titles for the Rams but failed in the playoffs and was dumped. Marty Schottenheimer had regular season success at his stints in Cleveland, San Diego and puke KC, but failed in the playoffs. Reid also had regular season success in Philly but couldn’t get the Eagles over the hump so he was let go. Pegula needs to ask himself if he’s satisfied with just winning division titles or does he want to get to the Super Bowl. Hopefully it’s the latter and he doubts Sean can get them there. I no longer believe McDermott can do it.

I have watched every Super Bowl starting with #4. In my book, it’ll count to keep my streak going if I watch the opening kickoff and then turn it off.

Is the AFC Championship the "actual" Super Bowl??

Like the Ravens, the Eagles are a very physical team, especially their lines. -
I just hope, after the smart strategy of having Milano shadowing Lamar, they double team Kelce. The sight of Kelce running open between 2 defenders in the ‘13 seconds’ game will haunt me til my dying day.

College football championship. Notre Dame/Ohio State

Yeah, it was MLK day with a lot of NBA basketball, the Sabres were playing, inauguration day and then it was like “oh yeah, the CFB Championship game is today” -
Yeah, on the flipside, that’s like when someone like Barkley has a huge yardage day with a long TD, there’s always someone who’ll say “Yeah, but if you take away that 70 yard run, he only had 80 yards on his other 20 carries, which is only a 4 yard average.”

Why can't the eye in the sky just be the eighth official on the field?

So, as they said at the time of his signing, just brought in to help with practices and provide wisdom.

Dude, this is a fan forum, not a place to post a blog. -
The national media narrative since the Bills won
BobbyC81 replied to ChronicAndKnuckles's topic in The Stadium Wall
Some of them will still say the other team should’ve won. The media is also overdoing it regarding Andrews’ “dropping “ the 2 pt conversion pass. His foot slipped on the frozen tundra. He was lucky to have almost caught it. -

Notre Dame disappoints once again. -
Lamar can have another MVP trophy. Josh can cheer for him in the audience when he takes a break from preparing for the Super Bowl. 😉 By the way, how many Super Bowls has that 2 time MVP played in?

They showed a replay of it later. It was helmet to helmet plus his neck was crunched.

If Rapp is out next weekend, how about activating Micah Hyde? His experience might be more important than the athleticism he may have lost.

We need robots that make the call per the rules, with no objectivity. At least then the calls will be consistent. -
We went through several dry winters with low rainfall, incorrectly termed a “drought”. As a result foliage was dry and fires were popping up everywhere. The fire that wiped out the city of Paradise seemed to really affect the insurance companies. That fire and some of the others were attributed to Pacific Gas & Electric old and defective equipment. There were also some fires that were arson. we’ve had a lot of rain here in the Sacramento area in the last couple of years. Still, back in October there was a nearby wild fire that forced my wife and I to evacuate for a few hours until they got it under control.

They could’ve should’ve taken Evans at pick 4!

The pick of CJ Spiller was dumb, as was deciding to pick a QB (EJ Manuel) in the draft with arguably the worst QB class of this Millenium.
