This would make a great episode of 'YOU Make the Call'.

Not sure I agree with that - If that was the case, then wouldn't they place the ball at the line of scrimmage any time the QB gets sacked? Or does it become forward progress if he drops back, then moves forward?

Yes, the pundits made a big stink out of Von Miller being out, but nobody said much about getting Edmunds and Tre back on the field. I think they more than offset the loss of Miller, who I see as more of a 'nice to have' luxury than a key peice of the D.

Come on, the guy played a solid game on one leg. Yeah, he got beat bad a couple times, but he was in a really bad way, and he showed up when he had to. We're fortunate to have him as the backup LT. Game balls to Diggs and Edmunds, honorable mention to McKenzie and Lawson. Awesome night for the D line, and the offense just kept moving the chains. Not the most exciting game, but it was so satisfying to watch them dissect the Pats in their own barn. I'm proud of these Bills, 3 straight wins on a long and bizarre mid-season road trip. You can't ask for anything more.

He was talking about the AFC Championship game..😉

It's a nice luxury to have a good place kicker on your team.

Funny game; the Pats pretty much dominated wire to wire, yet somehow managed to lose. Grogan outplayed Kelly by a wide margin. The Bills' best player that day was Ray Bentley on D, and maybe Robb Riddick on O, but overall the Bills' offense was horrendous. Thurman didn't do squat, Kelly himself may have had the longest run of the day, and Reed had maybe two catches. Bruce didn't even play. Norwood with the game-winner from 41. And that's my synopsis.

Hmmm, Rochester is pretty much getting nothing from this storm. I wonder if they kicked the tires on any facility options there. And I certainly hope they are planning to fly to Detroit out of ROC...

I think it mostly came down to (a) a second-hand secondary, (b) Allen trying to be a hero, and (c) some great plays by the Vikes - hats off to Cousins, a gamer who gets no respect, and of course Jefferson. The Bills D-line was mostly very good. Edmunds being out for the 2nd half showed the haters his value. Bills Offense did enough to win on most days, but a few big mistakes were the difference.

Wow, just when you think Stephen A. Smith can't be any dumber. Trying to make it like Mahomes' game against the Bills was qualified MVP material. Those two picks were bruuuutal! Until last week, any reasonable person could have given Mahomes the edge, based on his career, 13 seconds, and continued stellar play. He was the reigning MVP candidate until proven otherwise, and that proof was delivered last Sunday. How much evidence do you need?

When I set up this account, I was many years deep into livin' the dream in the northern Rockies. Another many years have passed, though, and that handle is now totally inaccurate! But I'll always be a ski bum at heart.

Arguably a candidate? Come on, Reid is a lock for the HOF. Give a little credit where credit is due!

Tom and I are the same age, and the prospect of being chased around by 300 lb. freak athletes trying to kill me is horrifying. Time always wins.

Have we forgotten about the spanking the Bucs gave the Chiefs two Super Bowls ago? It's not exactly the same Chiefs team, but close enough. Mahomes was running for his life the whole game.

It's not often you see a RB a lot taller than his QB.

Anyone else think the Bills would have gone for it on that 4th and 2 in the red zone, down by 3?

Win or lose tonight, the Chargers aren't good enough to keep pressure on KC.

I would argue that Mahomes' improv skills are the best of the best, even better than Allen's, which are Great. And also that Mahomes has better touch and placement on his short passes, shovels, and flips, where Josh sometimes just throws too hard or misses the mark. Not to say Mahomes is better than Allen on balance, but I still think that there are a couple things that Mahomes does better than anyone, including Josh.

Come on with the holding already

I always get a kick out of color man Mike Mayock's call on the replay of the Beast Quake run. "...Get OFF Me! He says... To Tracy Porter!" It's not a true play-by-play, and Van Miller alone probably had dozens of better calls, but it's the only one I can think of of the top of my head right now. Tom Hammond, the play-by-play man on that game, said later that he intentionally held back on the call as it happened, because he didn't want to ruin the moment with too much jabber. He also said he gave Mayock "the hand" during the run, to shut him up so the fans could enjoy it in its purest form.

If he's as good as his numbers so far indicate, then I am very concerned - Where are they going to find the money to pay this guy in four years?

Perfectly valid answer.

Nobody rally stood out on offense besides Josh, so I'll give my O game ball to McKenzie, who was getting work done when nobody else was, before he got hurt.

Those two shoestring tackles on Lamar alone earned him not just a game ball, but THE game ball. And that was only a small sampling of what he did today.

You can't win if you can't catch.
