It’s a game. It should not affect your life this much. I get high and low during games sure, but once it’s over I don’t let it linger and go on just fine enjoying my wife and kids. I mean my life doesn’t change if they win or lose a game. I want them to win as bad as anyone, but if they don’t, whatever. Even if we win a big game, the euphoria wears off quickly as it again doesn’t impact my life or what’s important in it. So my tip or advice is change your emotional attachment to the game and just decide it’s not going to impact your life, so whatever. For example - last night I was yelling plenty at the TV during the game. I was pissed and annoyed at the outcome. An hour later it was out of mind, was playing legos with my son and then laying in bed putting my other 1 year old in bed after as I watched season 3 of Tulsa King. Still enjoy the sports talk and stuff after, good or bad, but my life is great regardless win or lose.

I would not put a waiver claim in, he prob won’t play this year and may never live up to the contract. He clears waivers, then sign if he’s healthy

I still think we make the playoffs - will we win a game? Well thats a whole other question.

This. This is our worst issue right now IMHO. We have enough talent to be effective, but not when the OC is failing at his job as bad as Brady has been this year. Yes, everyone knows we could use a top end WR1 or deep threat, but that doesn't get to be the excuse for Brady when his play calling and adjustments are so bad. Our offense has gotten so predictable and the blue print to disrupt it has been there all year. When the league started to figure McVay out, he adjusted and countered. Brady is not doing a good job at this, nor is he doing a good job to keep the defenses guessing. It is so easy to tell what we are about to run or call most the game. Then there is his terrible adjustments, or lack there of: I was screaming all game to attack short, quick hitters. Quick drop and fire - screens, slants, short crossers, comebacks, curls, shots to the RBs out of the backfield, etc. But we were calling stuff constantly that take too long to develop against a pass rush owning our line rushing just 4. Allen constantly taking deep drops and looking downfield behind a line getting dominated and crushing our QB was one of the dumbest things I have seen him do yet, and she stuck with it until the very end before he finally did something different and attacked quick hits to move the ball the final drive. This team has issues on it overall - but Brady has gone from a hero (last year) to approaching a zero this year because he doesn't seem to have the answers to what opposing DC's are now doing to disrupt his offense. Side note: The WR group out there has been terrible this year on scramble drills too. I don't understand how this is so bad this year when its been such a big part of our offense for years.

To think a couple weeks ago there was a thread where about half this board actually preferred this team play 3 road playoff games instead of getting the bye and playing 2 home games just to avoid 2 teams we already beat in KC and Ravens. This is not a team we need to rely on to beat 4 teams to win a SB and have to do 3 of them on the road for just the shot to win the SB. Honestly, I think there is no team in the NFL that needs the 1 seed more than the Bills right now - and of course after going 3-4 in its last 7 has pretty much killed any hope to even get the 1 seed this year. Hell, now we are left wondering will they even make the playoffs.

I was so pissed at Dawkins last night that I would consider benching Dawkins against the Steelers to at least start the game or for the first quarter, hell even the game if need be, to send a message. It was inexcusable effort last night - for a guy who a week ago called out Keon for time for pats on the back is done and its time to grow up, this is unacceptable play from him.

There are plenty of successful Bills players people also called a scrub prematurely after 1 year. Keon may or may not prove to be one, but one thing for sure is that there is no way to truly know that answer today. But to be fair, he is trending in the wrong direction for sure. Everyone thought Kayshon Boutte was also a scrub before this season began too.

Yes, no easy task, and we did it to ourselves losing three games we had no business losing if not for self inflicted issues. Our best hope with NE is if they lose one more and its also a divisional game. Assuming we beat them, they would have 1 divisional loss and we would have 2. Also assuming neither of lose prior to that game, then we would have the same record, but they hold the tie breaker with the 1 divisional loss. So, if they do lose a game, then hopefully its in the division, because that gives us breathing room if we do something stupid and lose another game, like the Phily game for example. At least then we would still be tied and they no longer have the tie breaker on divisional record. If they do lose another game and its not in the division, then we would have to win out as only way to get the division.

This. We can get even out the head to head and record with NE when we rematch. But only if we win our games before then. But even then NE still has the tie breaker as they are 2-0 in the division and we are 2-2. So even if we beat NE and tie their record, they will be 2-1 and we would be 3-2. I am not worried about a Wildcard, there is little doubt we will get in with at least a wild card. We need to win the division at the very minimum if not still get the 1 seed. Both are very much still in play. This isn't a team that needs to play 3 road playoff games. Not with this defense and not with roller coaster Josh we have this year. We need to get the division and we need to push for the 1 seed.

No doubt the defense has issues, but we would be up 2-3 scores right now had we not had the two bad turnovers, the missed wide open TD throw, etc

Comparing one game to whole seasons makes total sense right

Yet we have scored more points when he is not. So the record, his MVP trophy case, and our Points Per Game say otherwise.

That too. But we should be up if not for the dumb mistakes by the offense

How is the run D this bad. Its wild. Im ready for regime change if they cant get their s**t together and fast

People wanted this. They wanted the old Josh. Well here you go, you got him. The guy who led the league in turnovers over his first 4 years or what not. The guy who pushes the ball when he shouldn't be. I mean Ty is wide open for the easiest first down, who according to Josh is the best 3rd down back in the NFL, yet he isn't even looking for him on 4th and 2 and instead trying to first look down field.
