As well as keeping him in the game taking as many hits in the pocket as he was taking.

Yes the Jets suck, yes Darnold is likely out or at least hobbled. But all the pressure is on the Bills. After the past 2 games and how much the Jets suck, anything short of a crushing will be largely looked at as a failure by the Bills. A lot of eyes will be on the Bills, and so far when the spotlight has been on them ...

For most here, winning heals all.

They did not last night. Milano was out and that's a big loss. But it's the NFL, next man up. KC was down Watkins, and their O-Line is all jumbled up. Yet that patchwork O-Line chewed up and spit out the Bills D. How many yards rushing did the D give up to that makeshift O-Line of the Chiefs ... a team that generally does not run much? Titans practiced either once or twice during the 2 weeks prior to playing the Bills and all kinds of covid issues. Then they played Sunday, not Monday so had a even shorter week to prepare, and won. Who was at a disadvantage? There was no excuse. It was in Buffalo and in the rain. As the commentators (yeah Aikman sucks but they got this right) mentioned in the first half, McCoach could not have requested better conditions for that game. Reid and the KC players adapted. McCoach, who IMO is generally a decent to good prep coach but is not good at all on game-day did not, and you get two of the D leaders taking stupid personal fouls and Diggs walking back to the line taking that penalty in the 2nd half. The Bills lost to two good teams. Those teams are better than they are, particularly KC. If/when they get fully healthy and get Bell into the mix, I'm not sure who beats them. That's the only "excuse" the Bills have.

IMO a very healthy and smart way to look at it.

The patchwork O-Line of KC totally smoked and blew the doors off of the Bills D-Line and LBs. Men against boys type of stuff. Your wife/babe is spot on I think.

Of course not, it is a freaking game. Not life or death or worth changing your personal life over. Well, except maybe Monday when I may leave work early to watch the game live

Great post.. I disagree that the game was closer than the score indicated, but that's just my opinion and water under the bridge at this point. But as to Henry, anyone who does not think he is a beast, and as you so aptly put it, Jim Brown like, look at this again. Flicked Norman off like a flea.

Monday at 5 eastern? Good god. Tough but doable for us Bills TV watchers. It's at least a half day off from work for KC in person people.

I suspect that was the prime directive this past off season. Get pass blocking so Allen doesn't need to run for his life every time he drops back to pass. IMO, pass blocking is one thing. But run blocking requires a lot more speed, quickness, and overall skill.

I respectfully disagree. I get where you are coming from, but a QB should be a QB and not a extra RB IMO. If he goes down the season is over ... period. So in no way do I intentionally put him in harms way multiple times a game and risk the entire season by him being injured. Running is what you pay RB's for, use them.

The Bills Titans game tonight seals the deal for me. Practice in the NFL means exactly squat. The Bills have been practicing like normal. The Titans have practiced like twice in the last 2 weeks, Had zoom meetings. And they kick the living crap out of and totally outplay the Bills in every way tonight. Plus no preseason for everyone and yet they all played well week 1. Practice means nothing at that level.

So over 20 positives on the Titans. In theory they should have not been practicing for some time. And moving the game from Sunday to Tuesday is the answer ... really?

I saw this and found it interesting. They have other sports and other non-sports things as well. I find it interesting and disturbing they don't tout their accuracy. Anyone have any experience with them? SWARM AI NFL

And stop even reading it. Bolded: Was your first clue all the MVP talk going on here already?

NFC West team in week 3 is the biggest game of the year huh. smh It is the first look at how the team and Allen in particular does against a quality opponent and will give a first look at what this team really is this season. But biggest of the year, hardly. At the very least, the pats games are much bigger.

Very logical and I agree. But I don't think McD is wired that way. Particularly the way Chan and Fitz abused the middle of the field.

Who cares what they think or say?

We will see what the team, and particularly Josh, really are after those games. He looked very good for the most part in the first two games, but against 2 dumpster fire teams. Josh made some touch passes in both of those games that he would not have even tried in previous years, and with Diggs on the roster he has multiple receivers that can catch them. If he plays as well in the next 4 as he has in the first 2, the Bills really may have something this season.

Believe it or not no. There is actually a fish bar somewhere, and a few raiders bars. I was in the fish bar once years ago, but never went again. Don't even remember the name

Interesting. Here in Rochester there were two anchor bars that after maybe a year or so both closed. There is one Duffs (that I know of anyway) that seems to be doing well. Maybe Rochester wing eaters have a more discerning taste for wings than people in GA. ;). But I actually had no idea either chain made it out of NY!

Dammmmmmmmmmn that sounds good

One of those pages, and I think its this one, has a "Home Team" "expert" that just picks the home team every game and it tends to do better than a lot of the human "experts".

My interest has been at zero for years except for the Bills. I watch at home so fans or no fans makes no difference at all to me. Some say they have lower interest this year because of more important things going on, but news flash, it's a freaking game so there is literally always something more important going on every sunday every season. So in short, my interest level is no different this year versus previous years and my "investment level" is still the same, watching the Bills games every week and that's pretty much it.

It likely would not be up to the Bills, but NYS. Even if the gov decided to try it, the first game there would be tailgaters filmed doing stupid things and that would be that. Just do what baseball is doing, it got off to a rocky start but is doing better than I thought it would. But when baseball had a team hit with covid they could postpone and make up missed games with double headers. Football can't do that. But at least the fans would get to see some games, and the NFL gets the TV money.
