Agreed. They show him rushing.. and the QB moves up in the pocket and completes a pass. So that’s a “win” because he affected the QB and made him move. ?? what? If that’s considered a pressure or win rate or whatever PFF stat ..I would say it explains why a lot of very average players are ranked so high. I’m not saying Von Is washed up. I’m just saying ..making the QB move before he throws should not be the goal of a pass rusher! I’ll wait till after the playoffs before I form an opinion on Von. But, at this moment, I’d say his value is minimal at best.

Just wanna say.. I am so grateful for Terry Pegula. Good bless him and his family.

I don’t normally watch any of the Thursday night games because the game usually sucks, and now I really don’t like the games being on Amazon. However, beyond all that.. I can remember a time not terribly long ago when the Bills were not very good. We’d get the very occasional prime time game. It was a big deal! For me, the fan; for the City; for the team. Remember when they first announced every team would get a Thursday night game.. I was so excited. I was guaranteed to see the Bills once a year. How would any of us felt if that one time all season we got to see our team “shine”, the NFL flexed the game? Nope. You suck, you don’t get to be on prime time.

I would just like to add… this can still suck for fans watching on TV. Especially now that game are on different subscription services. We factor the number of games we’ll get to see into whether we buy these subscriptions. Not to mention game day parties, plans with family around the holidays, apple picking excursions. We all have lives. It affects everyone involved in the game, going to the game and watching it at home. The NFL needs to just stop. This moving of games adds nothing to the game itself. The only ones that benefit are the tv and ad execs. Thats it. We all have to reshuffle our lives so they can make a few more dollars. The NFL really does do everything they can to screw us all over.

I’ve never played professional football. But these practice videos always seem so… not like practice. LOL

This is such a crazy year. The Bills have beaten last year’s Super Bowl teams. Beaten the 1 loss Lions, arguably the best team in the league this year. Josh is currently the consensus league MVP. We have the 2nd best record in the AFC, and are the eastern division champs. … and there’s 3 more games still to be played in the regular season! It’s just ridiculous. I just hope the team can maintain focus and play to their standard and not down to the Patsies or Jets standards. And, of course, stay healthy. This is unfamiliar territory. Every week brings risk.. I just hope the Bills play focused, play hard and keep this rolling. One thing I liked about the Lions game that I don’t think is being talked about much is the Bills offense put a lot of new looks on tape. How can anyone play the bills and not pay attention to the running backs? Hopefully we can continue to put new looks on tape and continue to give our opposition in the playoffs to think about them they can handle while continuing to win. Go Bills!

I think the other amazing stat is that the 4 other teams that scored over 30pts in 8 consecutive games, all lost the Superbowl. So… I’m really hoping we score over 30 this week to break that trend. I guess we should hope the defense gives up 40 pts too? Just to keep our Superbowl hopes alive. Or do we just have to break one trend to win it all? Because I really don't wanna give up 40pts too this team.

I think it was 2 things… many talking heads were still not sold on Josh. I recall a lot of discussion regarding Diggs.. did he make Josh look better than he really is. So I think a lot of folks really saw Josh without Diggs as not being that good. Secondly, I don’t think ANYONE saw the acquisition of someone like Cooper mid season. That was a stroke of brilliance by Beane. Not only do if give the offense a tremendous weapon, but at a bargain basement price! The one thing I will say that surprises me the most… the number of drops is way way down. We’ve all known Shakir is sure handed. But everyone is catching the ball better. I no longer watch every pass and say a thank you baby Jesus when it’s not dropped.

I think Williams has looked far better than Milano the last few weeks. But, any reasonable person would have to have known that it was going to take Milano 4? plus games to get back into any sort of form. Hence, I think it was good they’ve been playing him…after we secured a playoff spot. Now.. the big question is.. how much does his groin injury set that back? It’s a careful balance to get him back into game shape, not aggravate that injury, and still win. I stand by what I’ve been thinkin… I’d start Williams and keep him in the games mentally. Then bring Milano in to provide relief and slowly bring him along. Milano is the better player…IF he can return to form. But if the playoffs started Sunday? I’d have Williams in over him and it’s not even close.

I think too many posters here get caught up in their own world and agendas, thinking we almost lost this game. I had a couple friends texting me early 4th quarter - 1 a Lions fan - all thought the game was pretty much over. Yes, the Lions kept scoring. But so did the Bills. It’s not like they had any answer for our offense. So yeah, they put up a lot of stats n our D… we put up a lot on their D. granted, I didn’t rest until the clock hit all zeros. But in looking back… we dominated them for the start.

Because…like so many posters here.. you want the defense to suck so McD can be fired before the playoffs? But if he keeps winning..they won’t fire him. Such a conundrum.

So after today… gotta think the 2 seed is best we can do. We have to win out AND the Chiefs lose 2 of the last 3. That’s a tall order.

With the loss last week and the chiefs and steelers continuing to win, I'm seeing it the same way.

Really anxious to see how the team, mostly the defense, rebounds after last week. The defense embarrassed themselves. Do they have it in themselves to slow down one of the most potent offenses in the league?

Would be great to see a Chiefs loss, but today is the day we find out how good the Steelers are. For all the talk of Bills at Lions, the Steelers/Eagles game is pretty big too!
