I’m confident in this team. I believe they’re the most talented, deepest, best led team with the best team culture. I also know that the NFL playoffs are a single elimination tournament and the ball is an oblate spheroid that doesn’t always go where you think it will.

Want the Pats to win. A lot of crap happens in the season and if Josh goes down for 2-3 games with some minor injury I don’t want anyone in striking distance for the division.

Going against the grain here, I love most ACL tears but I feel awful for the Dolphins.

Damn, I hate this thread so much. Hyde has been either the 2nd or 3rd (Diggs is in there) most important player in turning this franchise around from its poverty drought phase to its SB contender phase. How valuable is he, really? He’s tremendously valuable and if his replacements do a good job then credit to him on that, too. Completely separate question about resigning him or letting him walk. That’s a valid question when the time comes. But the very title of this thread is insulting.

It would be better aesthetically but I think it'd look too much like a Pats' alt.

Scored a TD on every drive of a playoff game against an opponent that ate our lunch for the two decades prior. That was an instant classic.

Blue on white is my favorite. Anything but that red on red.

Let's see...would we rather have our 2nd team All Pro safety next year or a 6th round pick? Good job asking the tough questions OP. Edit: I've just read your reply about group think fan bias. That definitely happens but this isn't it. I guarantee you that every member of the Bills organization would find this thread as laughable as we do, and it's their job to go over every roster scenario.

This week’s anomaly aside the Panthers are the worst team. Chicago isn’t that far behind though.

Really sucks. Michael Carter isn’t bad but he’s nowhere close to Breece. I think they’ll go into a tailspin relying on Wilson to move the ball.

My last name is Sage and at the time I created the account I loved RATM. Now I’m tepid but nostalgic about them.

Suddenly I understand Moss’ role. Even the fastest car needs brakes.

To quote Herb Brooks from Miracle, it's not about having all the best players, it's about having the right ones. Yeah, you need at least a couple superstars who can take over games. We have Allen, Diggs and Von. Milano is starting to look like that too. But that aside, you don't just compile a whole roster of pro bowlers and expect it to gel (or be able to afford it, obviously). Frankly I'm glad we don't have CMC. When you have a player like that you want to give him the ball 20-25 times a game. We don't need that. This is Josh's offense.

Glad we didn’t spend the capital. Last I checked we don’t struggle to score.

I'm my boss.

It's a pretty bad look when you're a young player on a surprisingly good team and your response is wanting out because you personally aren't contributing much yet. Real competitors want to prove it on the winning team they're on, not jump ship to where they can get more snaps and looks.

I've been through a separation. It wasn't even acrimonious but easily was the worst year of my life. There's not a chance that all of his mind is on football and if the Bucs end up swan-diving in the standings it wouldn't shock me if he retires midseason.

After the dust up in the 2020 AFCCG I was thinking that Bills/Chiefs was bound to become a rivalry with genuine animosity to it but that hasn’t happened because I think in their souls both Allen and Mahomes are adolescent golden retrievers. They also happen to be the two best QBs on the planet so yeah we’re in for years of this.

Whenever I watch a non-Bills game I tend to pick one of the teams and read along with the game thread in their subreddit. I’ve learned that every fan base is exactly the same - anxious, neurotic and wanting everyone fired even with a lead.

9th one of his career.

For as much as I hear about a team being pissed off and dangerous following an embarrassing loss I wonder if there's any statistical evidence that this is a factor. If anything I would guess that demoralizing losses just lead to more losing.

I haven't read any of the replies on this but I'm wondering if when the Bills new stadium is built if maybe that would be a domed stadium too?

Most people thought Wentz was on track to do what Josh is doing now back in 2017. Five years later and he's the guy you get when you want to look like you aren't tanking but you are.

Genuinely forgot that he existed.

I really dislike this either/or type of thinking. Allen is a generational QB and would be without Daboll, McD, Dorsey or Beane. But he's also extremely fortunate in the sense of competing in the playoffs so soon and often to have landed in a situation with such stability. Most rookie QBs go to bad teams that end up shuffling OCs, HCs and GMs until the franchise that drafted them isn't even the same franchise (Ship of Theseus, what what).
