Must be a big game.

No way! He is way too fast for us.

HAPPY GAMEDAY TBD! Well, it's good we have a late start today, so we can all take our time driving home after the holiday. BTY, the traffic is terrible, and the weather isn't helping in many places. Be safe! As for our Banged Up Bills, nothing to "be safe" about today. Time to bring out all the tricks in the bag. I generally loathe Steelers fans; it is always fun to see them stuffing their Terrible Towels back in their pockets when they're leaving the stadium early in a Stillers loss. So, let's get it done, boys! So, GO BILLS!

You would think, with 400+ Practice Squad players out there, somewhere is a decent LB and DE we could take a chance on. Instead, we bring back two washed-up players -- Lawson and Spector -- who were not any good in their prime (did they even have a prime?). YIKES!!!!

Disagree. All four losses can be attributed to losing the Turnover battle--not just the number of them, but the circumstance of them: in the Red Zone, while backed up inside your own 20, etc. I've said it before, for all the other convoluted things that have happened (as you outline above, the incredible amount of injuries this season, no production from the WRs, etc.), but don't commit those costly turnovers, and there are 2 or 3 more wins on the record this season.

Relax, it's just a football game. I'm sure you have far more important things in your life to worry about. Now me, not so much. I have no life. I'll be an emotional wreck all week.

An instant Classic of a post! POTW

THANK YOU for the sacrifices you are making for us. As for our Bills, what you saw is what it has been. There have been some bright spots, but it's been that kind of season.

Yeah. Missing that cost us dearly.

All the angst, all the blaming Brady, McD, and Beane, all the bad defense (what was that right before the end of the half?, etc., etc. But what really lost the game (and 3 of the losses this year): TURNOVERS! Win that battle, and we win the game. We gave them 6 points and got nothing in return. Why did we win 13 games last year? We did not turn the ball over. Why do we have 4 losses this year--8 turnovers in those games? It's not that complicated: Protect the Ball!

Fair point. Good work. I wasn't considering it for Special Teams only.

HAPPY GAMEDAY TBD! It's a short week, it's a "play hard and survive" week. Thursday night games are never pretty. It's always a "do what you need to pull out a win, ugly or not, and move on and enjoy the extra days off" type of game. So let's do it today, folks. Do what you need to at work today to get to the evening--it may not be your best work, but do your job, and then, in the words of Bill Joel, we can "all enjoy the weekend for a change." You may be right I may be crazy ... don't try to save me; rather, "Just win, Bills, just win!" GO BILLS !!!

Two observations: There are a bunch of kickers on that list, way too many. That seems very lazy on the part of the people selecting them. Am I seeing it correctly, Patrick Mahomes not on that top 50 list? That too seems a little crazy/off?

The only appropriate response to this . . .

I'm not that impressed with the Texans' Defense as the PR department is: The only good (top-level) offense they have shut down was the Rams in week one, who they held to 14 points--but still lost. [Note, they did stifle the Ravens, but Lamar was out.] They have given up 20 to Tampa Bay (a loss), 27 to Seattle (a loss), 17 (a loss), and 29 to Jacksonville (which they somehow won). That’s an average of 25+ in these four games against these three playoff teams. Their average points allowed against the six playoff teams they have played is 22.5 points per game. Further skewing their D stats, they have had the luxury of playing the Titans twice already, who have scored a grand total of 13 points in those two games. And, they held the Lamar-less Ravens to 10. Yes, they are good. And mainly because of their defense, they have won 5 games. But the Defensive numbers are not as impressive when you look deeper. Take the Over on 22.5 for the Bills' offense.
