No complaints at all. Bills being 2 games behind in the division and still having to play Dolphins in Miami would have been a huge mountain to climb, so today's beat down was as necessary as it was emphatic. After the 1st quarter the total dominance on both sides of the ball was impressive to say the least.

After 4 games the Bills are a +84 point differential. That is unthinkable in today's NFL. Can't rest on their laurels though, early last season they looked like the team to beat and then went stagnant. Keep going with what they've done the last three weeks.

Great great win. Now just have to find some CBs who can fit in the system.

Anyone else watching RedZone today? Mine is glitchy as hell and I don't know if it's Xfinity or RedZone.

That game and the Chargers/Viking game are dueling it out for worst brain dead coaching decisions. Two comical games.

The Colts can join them with a brain dead play call at 4th and 1+. Running right up the gut and getting stuffed. The coaching talent in the NFL seems to have thinned out. The Charger HC is known for stupid decisions and he certainly lived up to billing today.

Yeah, next week will be a much better test for the D. They'll have some confidence going in though.

How the hell were the Commanders 2-0? Inept would be an improvement for them.

Terrible play call by the Commanders. Nice stand by the D.

Wow, great tackling there.

"Huge News" 🤣

Got to see the game on dvr. Solid effort from both O and D. Josh played under control and didn't pass up short passes for hero ball. All in all, very good to see.

Josh isn't a rookie or 2nd year player. The fact he is still making these kind of mistakes his 6th year in the league strongly suggests he's never going to stop making them. It is a rare player indeed who shows "big improvements" 6 years in, particularly one who has been a starter his entire career. As frustrating as it may be, history suggests Josh may be the QB who make Buffalo very relevant for a number of years, but isn't the QB to lead them to the top, particularly with the crew around him (and the receiving corp is very average after Diggs).

Except it wasn't risks that he took, it was incredibly bad judgement to make those throws. I mean, yeah, it's risky to throw to someone clearly covered, but that's more being stupid than being a risk taker. Hard to see this season with a win unless it's game 17 and the Bills aren't making the playoffs.

All this really begs the question: why does an owner worth $6.7B need public financing for any of it? It's true, if he has to drop $2B he will only be worth $4.7B. My God, how would he be able to eat or buy other necessities of life? He'd be scrounging through trash cans looking for his next meal. I love the Bills, but with everything going on in sports these days (huge stadium projects for billions, conference realignment in college sports that's destroying traditions just for tv dollars, Saudis buying golf and other sports, Yankees spending millions to construct a crap team) it's getting harder and harder to give a rat's ass about the games being played.

I helped teach George Saimes' daughter swimming (Paul Maguires' daughters too, for that matter).

This begs the question, would you rather be the Jets or the Bills? The Jets have won one Super Bowl, but otherwise have been essentially an afterthought in the NFL. The Bills going to the Super Bowl four years in a row, something no other team has accomplished, sure looks better to me even though they went 0-4 in the big game. And of course you can't forget the Bills had 2 AFL Championships, and I would have loved to see them play the Browns in '64 and the Packers in '65.

I agree on #1. Chargers baby blue/sky blue unis are the absolute best. As for the Bengals, their butt ugly helmets disqualify them from anywhere near the top. Being an old AFL guy, I prefer standing buffalo for the Bills, but I understand in modern times some might find it boring. I'd forgotten this was a logo used by the Bills at all: Kinda cool.

True enough, although it was never used on a helmet before, so sort of semi-retro.

It was on a while back but I recorded it and just watched it Saturday. A couple of things: 1. The defense obviously was completely flummoxed in the first half, but man, as much credit as the offense got that was a top level defense. Smith, Bennett, Talley, Jones, Kelso, Odomes, Hansen et al. were a great unit. They shut the Oilers down in the 2nd half. The 90-93 Bills are underappreciated given their Super Bowl losses, but man, what a time to be a Bills' fan. 2. Every time I watch that game it reminds me of how awful it was that the Oilers left for Nashville and took their name and franchise history with them. I absolutely love the Oiler's helmets with the simple oil derrick. I suppose it's just the old fart in me because I hated seeing another symbol of the old AFL cast aside. I do think the league could have done the same thing with Houston that they did with the Browns, which is allow the city to keep the name and the franchise history, particularly since Houston was awarded a franchise not that long after the Oilers left.

Born in Buffalo and went to games in the early 60's. Family moved to AZ when I was a kid but I never have wavered in my love (and sometimes disgust, lol) for the Bills. Oddly enough I kinda liked the Cardinals when they were in St. Louis, but haven't cared for them at all since their move to Phoenix. I've stuck with all my teams (Bills, Yankees, and Celtics) that I loved as a kid. Haven't had any desire to adopt any other teams.

Exactly the same thing happened to Arizona in its first round loss to Princeton. I'm the common denominator, so obviously I'm the problem. My heartfelt apologies.

Good choice here would be Elbert "Golden Wheels" Dubenion in 1964. Only 42 catches in 14 games but a whopping 1139 yards and 10 TDs (out of a total of 19 TDs passes for all receivers) at a time when passing wasn't anywhere near as prevalent as now. Big part of the Bills' first championship.

Officiating has ALWAYS been questionable - or at least questioned. Not only are there humans involved, who are prone to mistakes, but fans of losing teams just love to blame losses on officials. If it get raised more now it's really just a factor of more cameras and camera angles that expose the problem calls.

No sure why, but I just find that QB sneak play annoying as hell. It'll be all the rage until some QB gets bent in half and is paralyzed.
