Holy cow this defense is useless right now.

Good question. Curious what the percentage is this year.

I wonder if they'd dress him in a break glass in case of emergency role, considering how thin our LB room is at the moment.

Same here. Just finally hit me.

I partied with Shock G (Humpty) back in the day. Crazy dude. Mike McDaniel is no Shock G.

Oddly feels like he's been in the league forever, but he's only 24 years old. I like it as a zero risk roll of the dice.

Ravens look tough. Seems to be their year. Who would have thought they'd be in this position a year ago with all of the Lamar drama. When will things finally line up for our Bills?

Stroud is too cautious with the ball. You can see why he only threw 5 ints this season.

The vast majority of fans love it and are happy to be out in the community, meeting other people and sharing their love of Bills football. No one is forcing the fans to do anything. They are doing it for the community. And that is what being a Buffalonian is all about.

I'm a wildly histrionic pessimist in the GDT. Kind of the polar opposite of how I interact with regular non-GDT threads. I think GDT'ing brings out my shadow side.

He has access to a magic dirt bucket.

I assume just to split up some of the responsibility to take a bit off of Sean's plate - especially with gameplanning.

I feel pretty relaxed going into this one. We've gone toe-to-toe with the Chiefs enough over the past few years to know what's in store. It's going to be a hell of a game and a tough victory for whomever moves on to the AFC Championship. And in some ways, given our start and the injuries to the defense, it feels like we are playing with house money at this point.

There's no denying it. The stats don't lie. It's better to be winning during the game than losing.

I generally agree, but we've seen more of this stuff since Brady took the reins. There was almost zero motion under Dorsey. I'm guessing Brady has more of this up his sleeve, but it's hard to install late in the season.

I was certain he had broken his fibula based on his reaction on the field. He seemed to be in intense pain. But ankle injuries can be incredibly painful in the moment as well. I remember injuring my ankle in basketball practice in high school and I was certain I had broken it. I was screaming on the floor that I had broken my ankle. Went to the ER that night and it turned out to be just a high ankle sprain. I hit it with the old ice bucket for the next few days and I was back in practice a few days later and played in games by the following week.

Bass had his career season (2021) with Haack as his holder.

I tore my meniscus, decided against surgery, and once the swelling subsided after a few days, I was back to my normal routine (running, golfing and basketball). If it isn't a full tear, I can see Benford playing the remainder of the season.

Perfect! Miami remains just good enough to keep us on our toes each season, but never a real threat to beat us in a game that matters. This is the ideal outcome for BIlls fans.

They're really whining about the refs? I didn't think the refs played much of a factor yesterday at all except for on the two fumble rulings, and I think they eventually got them both right. Is he just whining about the borderline non-call on the Dane play when they were already basically out of it?

I don't believe he trusts the knee yet. Effort has never been a problem with Von throughout his career. He showed some flashes late in the game yesterday. Let's just cross our fingers that he takes a big leap in the next couple of weeks and can provide us with a little juice if we make it to the SB.

Yesterday, after watching the block and the shank, and then also thinking back to the misses vs the Giants and Eagles earlier in the season, my knee jerk reaction was that Bass seriously needed to be replaced, maybe as soon as this week. But, for the most part, this is another case where perception does not equal reality; at least as far as how his performance this season stacks up against his historical averages. He's having a slightly down year, but if you look at his percentages they are not far off his career averages. And this season is actually tied with his best on 50+ yard attempts (4/6). One thing bringing his overall FG% down is the lack of attempts from 20-29 yards, which is really due to us being such a superb red zone team. In 2021, his career year at 87%, he hit 15/15 inside 30 yards. This year he's only attempted four field goals in this range (4/4). https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BassTy00.htm Still, yes, he does "look" shakier, but maybe that's a bit of projection on our part due to recency bias.

Allen Cook Kincaid Shakir Klein And Dorian Williams was solid when forced into action.

Obviously, yes!!! WTH happened to the kid? He used to have a strong reliable leg. Now he looks completely washed up. And he's only 26.
