I still kinda thought I had a shot

The rivalry is strong. Remember when they won the SB against us in Week 3 of ‘22?

After 7 seasons of Josh Allen it’s painful to watch those wounded duck passes.

If he had better weapons on offense he probably only throws 4 INTs in that half.

I had to watch parts of this game about a month after it happened, on Day 2 of a pretty important poker tournament. My seat happened to be facing the tv in the room that was broadcasting the replay of it on NFL Network and I couldn’t successfully stop myself from glancing at it. In what was probably a coincidence but sort of doesn’t feel like it I busted out of the tournament in an all in pre flop hand where my JJ lost to KK on a board of 75J5K, ie. appropriately taking an unexpected lead before losing it at the last second.

This type of thing is why home field advantage throughout the playoffs is so key. We’re at a level of team/fan/city synthesis that puts a visiting team at a big disadvantage.

I’m counting on the Chiefs losing to the Chargers.

My first exposure to Bills fanship was at the very start of the drought, so I’ve enjoyed every bit of success since 2017. I’d relish a 6-3 win over the Patriots backups in Week 18.

Every thread about Bills LBs is still secretly a Tremaine Edmunds thread.

Woody Johnson and David Tepper are the AFC and NFC's "League Taco" respectively.

"Now, I wanna put everybody into Josh Allen's body." I hope Orlovsky gets the help he needs.

I mean that makes sense for the actual team, not us.

This is good intel. Aggressive and on the cusp of being confused is not the worst analysis of McD. (I think this is his most impressive season of decision making personally, that Houston debacle notwithstanding)

True to form with Rex, those are two things that make a lot of sense until you start to think about them.

16 out of 29 first down plays that the Bills ran before the final kneel down were passes. https://www.espn.com/nfl/playbyplay/_/gameId/401671665

It's the NFL and weird things happen but I think we're considerably better right now than San Fran and LA. 14-3 for the Bills is my prediction, either doing what's expected and losing to Detroit on the road or unexpectedly winning that game and dropping another random one.

Or after Week 5. Winning fixes everything.

Some of you philistines refuse to study EPA. This play was actually a good thing.

Just felt a shiver in my intestines

Thus the smoke show when you...ya know...friction...

Yep. As my grandpa used to put it, “One day you’re really good at something, the next day you’re not very good at that thing anymore that you used to be good at.” He wasn’t an eloquent man.

The Colts probably have a top-ten 53 man roster but they picked the wrong QB in Richardson.

“Well the cat came back, we thought he was a goner…”

Just to throw one thing out there…this is the most under control, wise, judicious version of Josh that we’ve seen. That fact alone can make up for some talent differential and contribute to winning playoff games. But no, the roster is not our best. It’s a soft rebuild with some good starters, some bad starters and encouragingly a promising rookie class.
