I know what you mean, but I feel like it can help to set-up other routes for Diggs. And although it seems to get shut down more often than not, it has produced a few first downs this year and the play went for 34 yards in 1st Qtr against Cinci.

What a difference it could make if he gets back to even making 2 - 3 plays a game where pressures or sacks QB or a tackle in the backfield. It's upsetting to watch how ineffective he is since his return. Does not look like he is even trying.

I actually thought it was going to be a really good division, Even after Rogers got hurt. Figured the Bills & Fish were defintitely top 5 AFC teams and Jets & NE would both be capable of beating top teams and finish close to .500. I guess the Fish and Jets might hold up to that standard, but overall it's turned out to be a weak division. Really did not see the Bills being so mediocre, they play exactly like a .500 team. And I thought Belichick would at least field a team that coudl be competitve most weeks. You've been talking about Miami's serious run for 10 years. Still waiting

It really is pointless. They could just put a pretty girl on the screen talking about any nonsense for 2 minutes and most of would be just as happy. I've watched thousands of pro & college football games on TV, and the only 2 memorable in-game interviews I remember are when Namath told Suzy Kolber he "I don't give a damn about the NY Jets, I just wanna kiss you" and when Peyton Manning called out his "idiot kicker". So about once every thousand games you get something interesting. Post-game are occasionally interesting when players or coaches are all fired up after a win or depressed after a loss, and say something genuine before they have time to cool down.

Agree, those Jauron teams were really hard to watch. Other than Greg Williams teams, Jauron's Bills were the most hopeless of the drrought era. Besides the blow-out loss to NE, the 07' season featured some other truly horrific losses. Just like last Monday night, the Broncos Field Goal team ran on the field 4th down w/ no TO's and kicked GW FG as time expired in the opener. It was also the game K. Everett was paralyzed. The sickening MNF loss to the Cowboys where the Bills allowed 2 scores in the last 20 seconds to lose by 1 point after our D forced 6 TOs. And all 3 of those games were at the Ralph. It's amazing there were any STHs left the next season. To cap it off the Bills lost in Cleveland to the Browns 8 - 0 in the snow. Good times.

problem is that Bills team needed a 7 game streak. What was crazy about the streak, is that it came out of nowhere and all 6 wins were blow out victories. After 4 1/2 years of below average football they won those 6 games by an average of 28, and didn't score less than 33 in that stretch. There was some real talent on that team. Moulds, Lee Evans, Josh Reed was a good 3 receiver set, Jason Peters at tackle, and McGahee & T.Henry in the backfield. Front 7 on D w Sam Adams, Pat Williams, Aarron Schobel, Takeo Spikes, and London Fletcher was damn good. The last second opening day loss to the Jags & finale against the Steelers back-ups were brutal. And both were at home too. Only time they were anywhere near the playoffs that decade.

I agree with alot of the points here, but the defense is a big part of the problem too. Letting Mac Jones, Tyrod Taylor, Baker Mayfield, Russ Wilson, and Zach Wilson go on long TD drives in crucial moments of the 4th QTR is not a formula for winning football certainly won't put you in position to make the playoffs. I realize Tyrod and NYG didnt actually a score a TD, but that was mostly luck and poor officiating in favor of the Bills. The D has not been able to come with a big stop to seal any of the close games against poor teams. Add in horrible special teams against the Jets and Broncos and here we are, where someone needed to be fired.

I was at that one. As far as regular season games, "just give it to em" game & the MNF loss to the Cowboys were absolutely torcherous and still haunt me. For playoffs (non SuperBowls), the forward pass in Tennessee was the worst b/c of the brutal finish and the fact that it officially ended the Bills golden era, and ushered in the drought. 13 seconds is right there, and could equal it depending what happens in upcoming seasons.

Agree, that one doesn't get mentioned much, considering what a brutal and dramatic loss it was. I think that's the only time the Bills blew a 17 point or more 2nd half lead in Rich/Ralph/New Era/Highmark Stadium. At least the only one I can remember in my decades as a fan.

Bring back Rex Ryan as D-coordinatoor. He will be understanding of 12 men on the field penalties. See if we can trade for Edmunds in the offseason to help with our LB depth. Pass a rule to allow extra defensive Time Outs in the 4th QTR. McD can use them to help opposing offenses select their best plays All of the above will increase scoring and make games more exciting.

it was either incomplete, a fumble, or shouldve been 4th down. I think incomplete would've been the correct call. But the Bills made so many blunders and lost in such a stupid way, that picking out questionable calls by refs just doesn't give any satisfaction.

Vikings are probalby up there. They've had some crazy losses including playoff games, and have a good loyal fan base But yeah, being a Bills fan hardens you. It sucks when you can rank just heartbreaking Monday Night Football losses. That one last night only ranks 3rd worse for me on MNF. Also sucks, when you know it's coming. I didn't say it out loud, But when Denver missed the the 2nd extra point, I immediately thought Bills will lose 24 - 22.

That would suck if we don’t get it done, and miss out the chance to make KC come to OP. That would suck if we don’t get it done, and miss out the chance to make KC come to OP.

That’s why 11,5 seemed questionable to me.

I don't see the Bills beating Cincy, difficult match up and the Bengals looked great yesterday. I feel good about the other games including the Eagles.

In general I think Vegas has been more optimistic on the Bills the last 2 seassons than many of us who follow the team closely. Bills were 8 - 10 ATS in 2022, and 3 - 5 ATS so far this year. So .423 winning % the last 2 seasons. There were a couple speads recently that seeemd really questionable, Bills minus 5 against Jacksonville and minus 11.5 against the Patriots. I expected the Bills to win both games, but it seemed like there were factors going into those games that shoudl have made the spreads lower. Personally, I don't bet against the Bills. And usually don't bet on the Bills , except for playoffs. And I do that hoping to spend the winnings on SB trip, not necessarily because it's a good bet.

If McD goes for it on either of these early 4th QTR 4th downs in plus territory, I believe they get ‘em and rhe Bills win by 28. O was playing well. Just got ultra conservative

Reminder: The Bills have never won a Super Bowl. Just because something hasn't happeend in the past, doesn't mean it can't happen in the future.

Love that Josh has learned to play so well against Belichick's D. And that he's been a Dolphin killer right since he came into the league. Cam Newton really couldn't throw at the end of his career. His throwing motion was awful. "Throw like a girl" comes to mind

3rd & Goal game on the line. Perfect soft spiral lofted over the shoulder. Easiest catch in the world. I still wonder if Harmon was paid off or had money on the Browns.

Ronnie Harmon

It's not showing any % about performance in the playoffs, only the seeding entering the playoffs. Each place is the probabiltiy for each seed. Ex. it shows the Bills with 6% chance to get the 1 seed, and 10% chance to get the 5 seed. It has the Dolphins 57% chance to wind the divison and the Bills only a 29% chance.

Interesting that this one only gives the Bills a 54% chance to make the playoffs. And shows both the Colts & Steelers w higher probability to get in.

Gilmore was the first guy I thought of, but wasn't sure if he counted as McD era. He's by far the most productive player post-Bills in the last 10 years. Defensive player of the year, mulitple All-Pro seasons, SB. I didnt remember that Woods left the same year. He had a couple outstanding years with the Rams.

He had a baseball cap on from mid 3rd QTR until the end of the game. I don’t think he played a single snap in the 2nd half. I was at the game and watching him on the sideline, I wondered if he was injured. Or the coaches saw he was ineffective and not ready to go?
