We’re not giving away any secrets.

To the post heading (question): No. I, like many if you, can get frustrated with him at times, but (1) don't under estimate the value to Josh Allen, and all the offense, of the consistency of having the same OC and system for four years running now. I cannot blame him, or Frazier, for pursuing the opportunties, but if I had any choice, I would do all we could do to keep them. Another consideration, (2) the entire coaching staff seems to be on the same page and works well together, again, the power of a common vision, goals, and shared values in how to get there, is not to be taken for granted. And, (3) It appears there is great trust in these goys by the players. Again, something that takes time to build and has a big influence on their performance as a unit.

Do we have a direct link? I want to see this.

Well, we've owned Flores, and he has owned the Patriots .... so I'm not so convinved this was a good thing for us??? .... But if it means the fish are committed to Tua (and no Watson), okay, I'll take that. Also something else to consider, the Texans' new GM is a former Patriot front office guy: If the M Jones stinks again this evening, I have no doubt BB will be on the phone as soon as he can trying to swing a deal for Watson to come to NE. ... Twice a year Bill has seen how great athleticism in a QB can be so hard to defend, Watson is one of the few available (if he is) QB's who can match Allen in this way. ... Yeah, I can see this scenario happing. Just some things to throw into the "be careful what you wish for" conundrum of life.

Happy Play-offs Game Day, TBD! We got a lot of time to get all kinds of work done today. So focus, be productive, get your chores done, and then settle in for a glorious winter evening in Orchard Park as our Bills put a beatdown the Pats. It's going to be a great day, and even better evening all over Bills Mafia Nation. GO BILLS!

Wow, 20 points per game (their offense) over the past five years. That is incredible.

That was funny.

Bill is always playing mind games. Long ago he made the Injurt Report a meaningless thing for NE.

Agree

Maybe this is why McDermott doesn't practice outdoors?

I agree, as long as there is no wind. He seems to have trouble tracking in bad conditons. Stevenson is just not savy enough at this point--my only memories of him is running straight into his own teammates. If the conditions are favorable, I go with McKenzie, he is a threat to break one every time--but how are his hands in cold weather? If not, it is Hyde.

Question: How bad would it have to be for local public health and government leaders to step in and say, “No game” in these conditions, because of the threat to peoples' health and welfare? Has that ever happened? I know the NFL rules the world, but at some point a greater concern would have to supersede them. A few years ago I was at a major college XC meet with several races. It was unseasonably warm. In the early races several athletes were having issues with the heat. Athletes were passing out all over the place. There were so many ambulances called in, it looked like a parade. About half way through, the meet was shut down because the local hospitals and emergency system was overwhelmed. In this case, if holding this event potentially puts too many people in danger, and potentially over-taxes the emergency care system, would or could they, say “no” and force the NFL to reschedule it?

A few observatons: There is only one catagory where the Pats are better than the Bills (Penalties) The Bills are actually a better running team than the Pats .... will never hear that from the talking-heads Many categories are close, but the two biggest disparities are Average Yards Per Game and Opp. Average Rushing Yards Per Game - Those are also two of the most important categoiries - Again, about the Talking-Heads, should not the question be: "Can the Pats slow down the BIlls rushing attack?" The differences are not huge in any area, but the total is clearly to the Bills advantage.

Only the old guys will get that one, House.

The Bills have been using an extra lineman on unique occasions all year. Mainly, Bates. Doyle has inherited the role with Bates’ move to full-time employment. I do think they have gone to it more in the last quarter of the season.

That’s some serious trolling

I think you’re correct. There was one big one yesterday in the 3rd quarter. But it feels like it has gotten better these last few games.

The answer to the question in this thread title was given the day the Pro-Bowl players were announce with four games (apprx. 23.5%) still left in the season. The entire thing is broken. YES! Everypne knows that.

A new season begins today, everyone is now undefeated. A fresh start, a new beginning.

The most frustrating thing about this is Pittsburg has no chance in KC. oh well, on to NE

Yeah, Wow! An incredible game.

This game has not lacked for drama

Go for it Chargers! That would be the perfect ending to this crazy NFL season.

Yeah, that was bizarre. How will that call be justified or explained away by the league office? If anything, it was a Defensive Holding call.
