There are still 6 games to go where injuries could end up derailing the team similar to the string of injuries to our defense did last year, with that said everything just seems to be falling right in place. You have an ascending Curtis Samuel Milano will be back soon Keon will be back and he was really beginning to come into his own You have Kincaid coming back Spencer Brown will be back DeWayne Carter who was really coming into his own. And there are plenty of games for them to get reintegrated with the team. If we can be lucky and fortunate to have hardly any other injuries then this team has a real shot at winning it all.

We need DT's, massive ones at that. We need for Cole Bishop to take over one of the positions and if they don't believe he's the answer (which I believe he will be), they need to upgrade at that position. We will have James Cook for another year but he won't most likely be retained afterwards because of needing to sign Rousseau, Bernard, Benford and Shakir and unfortunately I don't believe Cook will make the cut. We will need to get another CB or two. I love Rasul Douglas, but there just isn't enough money to bring back everyone and replacing him will be paramount, specially with the prospect that Kaiir most likely won't be returning (which I think he should). I'm thinking CB will be one of the premium top 3 draft choices. DE/IOL/TE could be picks as well. I think Knox's contract is untenable with all the people that need to be signed. DE, the same in that Von Miller could end up being cut, my preference is that he plays one more year considering that he has playing at a good level. IOL would be good to have for depth purposes.

It is impossible to produce irrefutable evidence in this sort of hypothetical. However you can make a reasonable inference that if the Bills were healthy on defense that it very well may have determined the outcome. The game was a coin flip as it was with the depleted defense, if Allen had been hit by Tony Jones just 1/4 of a second later that’s a TD to Shakir in what could have been the game winner. So to believe that Bernard, Taron, a healthy Rasul, Milano among others wouldn’t have made a slight difference is silly. Bottom line they didn’t get it done but they lost by just a hair and the hypothetical being posed is if the Bills defense had been healthy they would have won, while there is no way of fully knowing, I absolutely do believe they would have won.

I thought the Chiefs had a really good defensive game, they were stout against the run and made the Bills earn every yard they got. It just happens to be that they ran into a very determined Bills and Josh Allen team that was able to execute on high leverage moments throughout the game in a manner they hadn't faced. Just a really gritty and gutty performance by the Bills and Josh Allen.

Don’t forget that we get back an ascending Dwayne Carter as well

I can relate

I was just telling my brother that I’m really going to miss Josh Allen when he retires. The amount of joy and satisfaction he has added to me is immeasurable. It’s not just the winning which there has been lots of it over the past 5 years but the insane talent he out of this world plays he makes that very few if any can make. I know the Bills haven’t won the big one yet but I’m going to savor this victory because it was special.

We have a lot of internet tough guys who also seem to have lots of inside knowledge to the extent of his injury. He is wearing a cast of some sort which implies its not just pain. For those saying that he isn't playing because of it being the last year of his contract, that's preposterous. He's on the wrong side of 30 and this is his last chance at getting a big contract and if he doesn't play and perform then his contract will be much shorter and less lucrative than if he were to perform at a high level for the remainder of this year. From what I've read, Amari is a different sort of cat in the sense that his lack of emotion and demeanor can be misinterpreted. Whatever the case may be, if he doesn't play now, he'll play after the bye week and I'm ok with that.

Obviously would love to have him back for this game, but it's definitely not the end of the world or anything approaching it. He should be in a really good spot after the bye week.

I think you guys are going to be surprised, Benford will most likely be around the top CB pay. Somewhere between $22 - $24m a year. Rousseau will get his as well which will be around those figures. And the Bills should absolutely lock down both of them. They are a huge reason why the defense has overperformed this year. Just need to draft some behemoth sized DT’s and upgrade the safety play and this defense will be at an elite level.

We can call it whatever we want to call it, rebuild, retool, rejigger or whatever. This definitely was not a year where expectations from the media, most fans and most likely management believed that this was going to be a year where the Bills would be at 8 -2 at this stage. Even though they were aging, replacing Micah and Poyer was always going to be a challenge and to a smaller extent Tre as well. Then losing Gabe Davis and Diggs was seen as an extremely challenging circumstance and pair that with a quality center in Morse, many people assumed the Bills would struggle. It just goes to show you that coaching, JA and younger players stepping up have been able to overcome the perceived challenges going into the season.

The biggest vulnerability the Chiefs have are their tackles. Yes, their receivers without Rice and Hollywood limit what they can do but their tackles is where you can exploit them and having Rousseau, a healthy and fresh Von and Epenesa can make an impact.

It's not lucky to be in position, you can call it lucky that he caught it but not to be in position. There were only 4 possible outcomes based on his positioning, A) He intercepts it B) He tries to intercept it and it falls to the ground C) He tackles the guy as soon as he catches it D) It bounces off of Austin and it goes to the RB D is by far the most unlikely scenario.

Von Miller had an excellent day yesterday. He caused hurried incomplete throws and without his pressure Austin doesn't get the int. Having him back with his body rested is going to serve us well for the playoffs.

I wouldn't call Johnson being in position to make a play lucky. On a sidenote, I thought the Bills run defense was stout against a very good offensive line and RB. You take out that 58 yard run by Taylor, his YPC on the remaining 20 carries was 2.8 yards.

We’re spoiled

Reminds me of the Nate Bargatze SNL skit

Cleveland

A large part of the reason the Dolphins gashing us was scheme. The Bills played 6 man boxes throughout the majority of the game and they decided to roll the dice against the run vs potentially exposing the pass defense. McDaniel has a tendency to move away from the run during the course of a game and to his credit he didn’t. Buffalo’s defense also was giving the underneath passes and to Tua’s credit he was hitting them with lots of efficiency. The Dolphins did about as well as they could have against the defensive design the Bills had in place. With that said, I do hope the Bills get some via a trade that can take on 2 blockers consistently, I think this is the main liability this team has. And through next years draft get a huge DT with their 1st round pick.

I just don't see how anyone from the US could possibly see this as offensive. I never heard such a thing, that the word Spaz is offensive. Please, get a grip of yourself. He clearly didn't have any intent to disparage people with disabilities, we colloquially use the term "Spaz" as someone who is somewhat physically out of control and uncoordinated. A 100% complete nothing burger. I feel sorry for the people who are from the US who are offended by this.

I get it, and I'm sure there is some of that going on. People telling him to retire, telling him to wear the protective helmet, telling him etc. etc. etc He's probably tired of it all, but it's not a good look and honestly I think this is not what you would want your leaders to say.

Tua has been salty af since he's come back. Truthfully, I'm more convinced now than before that he'll never be a true franchise QB that can lead his team deep into the playoffs.
