  1. Bills continue to beat themselves. It's only going to get worse with that imposing schedule. Maybe they need the beatdowns to end all the denial and excuses to change. McDermott looks badly outcoached most games.Josh is a turnover machine in a league where one score can determine the outcome. Ball security be damned. Play out the schedule to see who can help going forward. Beane and McDermott got extended and that might not have been wise. May have peaked and now a mini-rebuild coming. More of the same means .500 football. Players may be tone deaf to McDermott, I fear. They now move to the also ran catagory and are no longer a threat. Glad I'm old enoough to remenber 1965 as a kid. Thought we would have more success throughout the years but here we are. I can only hope to live long enough to see another good run.
  2. So NHL champs Vegas at the White House. Biden keeps calling Kamala Harris " President Harris " during ceremony. Did he quit ?
  3. Oh brother...LOL Why woul;d anyone waste time proving you wrong. You made your point. No issues.
  4. I'll be highly impressed if they can get a point tonight, let alone a win.
  5. Not so much hurting...but he's slow to process the speed around him quite often when the opposition attacks. I like his size and he makes some good passes. Yet he's got a ton to improve on and I'm still quite surprised they gave him the larger deal instead of a bridge contract. That was way too soon but here we are. I laughed when someone posted Joker has the privledge of playing with him. Holy deity. He's not there yet. Not even close.
  6. Lots to still work on. Faceoffs comes to mind.
  7. He's playing better than a lot of our regulars.
  8. Beane work Spotrac cap figs for 2024 with savings. The key is to the right right. Cap hit minus lower dead cap = savings. What the final cap fig is to be determined. So Where are the possible savings for 2024 at present ? Some contracts could be redone, I get that. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/2024/ Current targets with savings T. White - 6 Mil Taron Johnson - 7.6 Mil Morse - 11.5 Mil Poyer - 5.5 Mil N.Hines - 5 Mil Harty - 4 Mil other smaller savings near the bottom (lower salaries) Others like Knox and Von Miller come up in 2025. So the Bills could still sign some needed help in Vet FA, prior to the draft. Douglas trade was a 3rd rounder (received back a 5th) but they get a 3rd round comp for Edmunds. So they siill pick at least once in all 7 rounds with 2 picks in Round 5 and 4 picks in round 6... Which means lots of trading around on Day 2-3 of the draft for specific targets, little doubt.
  9. No QB to set things up. No plan at all. It's killing them. They have such a small margin for error. Faceoffs..PP...lack of success means .500.
  10. I didn't mean to infer I was outraged. Just found that stat much higher than anticipated. I'm retired. If I run, I take some Imodium.
  11. Wow. Last season, he was one of our worst floaters getting back on D.
  12. So yesterday was election day. Just saw a news story. Among the several Western NY counties, there were a total of 766 contests. 78 % of these contests...were UNCONTESTED. That's sad.
  13. We need to get whipping boys Victor O and Bryson out of our brains and focus on the fact that theTEAM needs to do a better job overall. PP is broke. They might as well decline it most times, if given that absurd option. The opposition has better scoring opportunities more often than not. That should be worked on heavily every practice or .500 and no playoffs is the expected result. Getting the puck out of their own zone is another issue. Backchecking, instead of floating. I can only fault the Goalies so much.
  14. IS THAT ALL YOU GOT ! Oh..it's the first minute..
  15. I have someone working on my back at the Buffalo VA hospital who just moved here from Seattle and played professionally. Born in Sri Lanka. Very nice young athletic guy who is trying to find a local club. Talks about it with passion... while he kicks the ***** out of me.
  16. Bills are currently 9th out of 16 teams in the AFC. On the outside looking in. Eyes wide open for fans not wearing the prescription rose colored glasses. I'm a fan but this looks like a horse race where several other horses blow by your horse in the stretch and the jockey just jogs him to the finish line to race another day. (next season) Out of gas. Beane has a heck of an off-season coming up in January. I have One Bills Live on in the background and the callers are just unloading.
  17. Corrected. Was a shortage in the off-season and now it's even worse. Shelves seem empty.
  18. When there is a talent issue, the blame game no longer works. This looks like a .500 team by the end of the season with this upcoming schedule and current level of play. Love Josh but no QB turns the ball over more. Bills granted his wish to hire Dorsey as the OC and it's not working. He needs to be coached harder. Execution looks slow. No running game when needed. Easy for the opposing D to stop the last 5 weeks. Predictable playcalling with no imagination. Understand the injuries but the schemes lacked on both sides of the ball, even at full strength. McDermott is getting outcoached. Has no answers if it's in week 5 of the slide. Lip service.
  19. Nathan Gerbe
  20. Nicknames are for dogs. Get a flea collar.
  21. What's his GAA ?
