We also not only got no production out of Hodgins we let him go. I think Shakir is a lot better than we give him credit for. We also never throw to the TE enough even though Knox runs the 6th most routes in the league. We’ve drafted/traded for 2 receiving backs we never throw the ball to. Dont get me wrong. We could certainly upgrade, but the numbers surrounding Josh and zone coverage are bad and Dorsey certainly takes some blame as well. I don’t think the cupboard is as bare as some fans think.

Cook is becoming a player for us.

1a/1b are for guys like Tua. When you pay your QB there is an expectation that you do a little more with a little less. Our group isn’t great but it’s not terrible either.

Diggs was open on a curl at the sticks on 3rd down. Josh was hit when he threw because he held the ball to go for a TD instead of a fresh set of downs. Everything isn’t on the WR. WGR was talking this am about how BB better be able to play zone because Josh was so much better against man. But the real story is that Josh is 22-30th in every metric when facing zone. Our QB hasn’t been a good decision maker this season.

Agreed, the league couldn’t give the Bills an L. The Bills could have taken one that night and the nobody would have batted an eye though. Once the league turned the game to “postponed” that was off the table.

It’s relatively common in basketball with with marfan’s. Isaiah Austin is relatively recent. And he’s not the first basketball player to be denied. The sport just prefers marfanoid players.

I hate it. I don’t like that the SB isn’t played at home either. But if they do to that route I hope they drop the bye entirely.

Yeah, the bye thing is weird. It doesn’t really exist anywhere else in sports. I’m ok with getting rid of it.

I agree. I keep reading on all these all message boards about the Bills or Bengals getting screwed, seedlings, and whatever. I am over here like “who cares”. A guy died on the field. His teammates watched. Find a way to play your best football and everything else will fall into place.

It feels like the fan base is really locked in on the one seed. There’s a lot of expectation for this team, and I think it’s more important to Buffalo fans than the Buffalo team right now. Ultimately you need to play your best football in January. Do that and everything will take care of itself. Once you kick the ball off seeding doesn’t matter. This is a lot of conversation about nothing as far as I’m concerned.

Case Keenum

The Bengals/Ravens thing is so weird. It feels odd for CIN to possibly win the division with the same number of wins and lose both head to heads. I don’t like changing the rules for them mid season. But ultimately they had 16 games to handle business, and they didn’t. I feel the same about the 1 seed and the Bills. As a Bills fan it feels like our boss gave us all the time we need to handle a family emergency, but we’re not getting paid for the days we don’t show up. Luckily we are still firmly in the running for presidents club.

I am in a group text where one person has spent the last 3 days relentlessly ranting about how the Bills got screwed. I don’t think I can be their friend anymore. (I’m being serious. He’s been ranting since the day after the Hamlin deal about how the league better not screw us by not playing the game) But one thing I keep coming back to for Buffalo and the 1 seed is that we had 15 other games to handle business. I think Tomlin said the same thing. With the Bengals, you never had control of the one seed. It was win out and other stuff. So that part doesn’t bother me. The Ravens thing is wild. Such an odd scenario to have the same number of wins and lose both head to heads but win the tie breaker. Ultimately, I would be shocked if that happened. You’ll win the division.

I hope we lose. I’m all in on all things #3. inject it right into my veins!

Can we release Rhodes twice?

So this is true. Tomlin said the same thing in his presser. His team has had 16 opportunities to win football games. It is part of why I am OK with possibly losing the one seed. As long as the staff and players at OBD were OK with any decision I am OK with it. I firmly believe that the team had no interest in replaying that game and that is a huge reason why the game isn't being replayed.

Like the Bills, there are 15 other games to secure your spot as the top pick. The Bills have gained and lost the first seed in the division and the conference at points this season. It happens. I get why the Bengals are upset about the Ravens game. But ultimately emergencies happen and solutions are always clean. I would be shocked if there is a single person at OBD who cares about the current solution.

I don't set the quota

I was just trying to think of something for week 18. I feel kinda crappy about thinking about this from a PR perspective, but it would be good for the team to be able to build their emotion about this as the team builds through the playoffs.

To put things back in football perspective with Damar looking to be an absolute miracle. Maybe we build DH into the pregame week after week? Week 18 - silence and an announcement. Wild Card- The training staff lead the charge. Divisional - Recorded Video in the stadium Conference - With any luck he can lead us out of the tunnel!

Any tie between just BUF and CIN for a single games home field should go to CIN. They lost their opportunity for the one home game, without a loss to the Ravens, Buffalo should have to play in their house.

The league can figure that out now. The Midwest is easy for everybody. College stadium with 100k. Why putz around with Cleveland or Detroit when you could get 2x the attendance then normal from 3 big fan bases.

If they pick a neutral site I hope it’s something like UM, Penn State, or OSU. Something with over 100k seats. Also, I’m in favor of the 3 seed….kinda. If we’re gonna ride with Damar, let’s ride with Damar!

I say tank the Pats game for the 3 seed. Let’s ride this wave baby!
