I get it....

Buffalo's small market status makes other markets more important for advertisers. Its a money game folks....they want good ratings in major markets so they can change more megabuxks for their advertising slots.

The appeal of these playoffs is that the farther you go, you always find a good team on the other side of the ball. I actually fear the Titans more than the Ravens, but I am into round two thinking on that one. The Bills can beat anyone, they just need to execute their plan better than the other guy. Of course, the plan might be the decider, and this year our coaches are putting together great game plans...especially over the last two months. That is why I am apprehensive about loosing a coordinator. Daboll is a potential loss, but I think Frazier will stay.

CAm was a longshot for sure....but Bellicheck knows already that Stidham cna't play........so he had to do something. Look for the Pats to add a couple of QB's this off season.

Roscoe Parrish type...to frail to take the NFL pounding.

Another Robert Parish.....have seen enough of that...to frail to stay healthy in the NFL. Cut him now....he can run , catch etc, but, take a hit from a DT who weights twice what he does....nawwww.

McKenzie OK, Roberts, significant drop off.

If the Bills added Sills, it would certainly remind me of a hockey roster like move, where teams pickup late season additions for the playoff push. But, I see this as a reaction to the loss of Kumerow. Its good insurance, but the playbook obstacle along with no chemistry with JA would make him a last resort. It also says they have no confidence in Duke Williams....but, if that is true, why are they keeping him around? A lot we don't know here, and the true injury status is the most important. Lets see...Barkley started with about 2 weeks notice a couple of years ago....and that was at QB, so Sillls, after clearing COVID, might be available for first playoff game. Another possibility is that Browns COVID listing is the real deal, and he is out with the virus. Stay tuned.

The Bills are much improved in terms of function. But, the design of the league is that teams rise and fall with the draft and the salary cap. Belicheck was candid in an interview recently. The Pats had sold out the cap in past years and this year were paying the price. The Bills did that also. Now, this version of the Bills has the old salary cap. When the new reduced version comes into play, a lot of the vets that have made this team will be gone..replaced with cheap new draft picks and non draft picks. Even the vet minimum will be "expensive", especially after Josh gets his $40 mil a year deal. Thats not an arrow for Josh, its just the Bills being pulled back to the NFL earth.

If your throwing to the TE in the end zone, it needs to be Kroft. (with respect to Smith)

Belicheck has seen Stidham every day in practice, and already knows he can't play. (per my fried from Boston)

Miami not winning week 17 though......as Bills want to keep the #2 seed

Of course, Cleveland did it a couple of times....and got Myles Garrent and Baker Mayfield with their #1 picks. Leaders now on both sides of the ball. So, the backside of the 0-16 can be good we are seeing further down Lake Erie. (glad we did 't go that route though)

Kaizen is Japanese word. The intrepretation here is correct, initially applied in Japan to manufacturing systems. (particularlly the Toyota Manufacturing System) but by others as well. I knew the word 40 years ago, and am not surprised to hear that McD uses the concept..... Kaizen is a pretty universal notion.

This comment is the real world calculus.

Knock them out of playoffs on week 17 if they can/ Thats the way to roll.....

My friend Pats fan (Boston Larry) says Belicheat already knows Stidham can't play, he sees him in practice every day and knows. That is why we haven't seen him already.

Collinsworths son showing up is just like CBS with the Simms father and son act. Actually, I don't mind at all. My biggest fanbud is my son, so father and son combos are part of the chemistry of Pro football for me.

We could do worse.....

I favor knocking the Phins out of the playoffs if we can. Call me old fashion wanting to do that........

I would like to see the Bills win a blowout for a change. I don't necessarily want another nail biter.

college football is going on?

Schmoozing the refs.......never miss a trick!

LOsman didn't have the head to be a NFL QB. Physical talent, yes. EJ never had the head either.....

Unless the vaccine uptake is good, there won't be attendance again next year. I hate it, but, not sure the authorities can get it done. I can hear it now.......people won't get vaccinated, and we can't open up until we get 75% covered. Certain communities won't participate willingly....and etc etc.
