It's embarrassing that a post with this title is at the top of this message board. McD is a top head coach in the NFL. Have we forgotten about the wilderness he brought this franchise out of?

Milano is playing like a first team all pro.

Well we would need to crap the bed against Pittsburgh for that to be a close game. Much needed against KC obviously but then there's the bye.

And the 3-1 Giants would trade their best player because...?

Deeeep breaths.

The Bills' championship window is open while Josh Allen is under center.

I honestly can't even think of one player that I wish wasn't on the team. As recently as 2016 I wanted about half the team gone.

I'll say this - there are lower stakes to the regular season games because we know we're playoff-bound and we know that Josh can win us a Superbowl regardless of which seed we are. I was at the game on Monday and it was positively electric during the first 3 quarters (the Jackson injury aside). But once it was obvious we'd won and on the way out to the parking lot it was a rather "on to the next one" vibe. Whereas, had we won a MNF game by 34 points five years ago, it actually would have felt like winning the SB.

I put the blame squarely on the coaches but Chubb can still realize that 100% is more than 99%.

There was nothing bad about that. We were up 3 scores and the Titans hadn't come close to moving the ball for several drives.

The only thing making me nervous right now is that I've never experienced the Bills being the betting favorite for the SB before. Even after the KC loss in the playoffs last year there was some mocking about 13 seconds but mostly everyone was just talking about the epic game that Allen played. If we get humbled in THIS game, though, something like a loss by a TD or more, it's going to be a different story and I'll need to avoid the media for the entire week.

A's brass is like "Hey! Only we're allowed to ***** our fans."

Appreciate that very much!

So the bar is in Ithaca but it's downtown and pretty new. Trying to think of what other bar it might look like. As for the eggs? I wish I knew. Just the image that popped into my head to subvert the vague business stuff.

I was wondering who would say it first.

I appreciate it! The bartender is our production manager and my cinematographer's fiance so I'll just say that I'm proud of the fella.

Many thanks! The Tim and Eric influence is very much there, yes.

This is a shameless self-plug but I thought you folks might enjoy it anyway. Some of you may remember that I work in theatre but my company has just gone to multimedia and this is the first film I've ever directed. I'm tickled by it.

I mean, it definitely indicates the depth of our slump that Fitz could be considered the best QB during that time but...well, there ya go.

Fitz' comeback win against the Pats will always be one of my favorite Bills games. We had lost 15 times in a row to them and when the Pats went up 21-0...if there was such a thing as having less than a 0% chance that would've been it. But somehow he did it. For those of us too young to really remember Kelly, Fitz is the 2nd best Bills QB we've seen. A well deserved retirement. Perhaps the most universally liked player in league history?

I think the Titans win this game but Burrow makes a statement nonetheless.

The Bills, Chiefs and Cowboys are the three teams that have given massive contracts to the younger generation of QBs. One of these things is not like the others.

I remember all the times during the Losman/Edwards era when I had to hear about how we'd gone 7 consecutive quarters or whatever without a TD. When Josh retires (in 25 years) I sure hope we don't go back to that bullcrap.

All I can say is that if your stance is that 97% of teams' seasons are unacceptable failures and then 3% of the time it's "Ok you did your job and won a championship" then you're entirely missing the point.

I will.
