Got 2 points to make: 1. People need to stop thinking the odds actually relate to how a game will go. They’re trying to get you to bet. Stop using it as a barometer for judging how easy a game will be. 2.People need to stop thinking ANY game is going to be a blow out, easy win and therefore we should rest all our starters and get practice squad players playing time. This notion that we can just roll over a team, so let’s get the practice squad guys some live reps is just ridiculous. ..and jinxes the team!! this felt like an ugly game, but a wonderful win!! Take it all day and move on! 4-0 Go Bills!

That’s what I think too… We get the PED Boys back, eventually Hairston will be activated again as well. So who get cut when that happens? I maybe give Jackson a real game tryout. But that’s risky as hell. The Defense is already seeing mistakes from young guys like Bishop and Sanders. At some point, that’s going to get us in trouble. I agree 100%. Just makes me nervous. LOL

It typical BBFS, I fully expect the Bills will end up as the 1 seed. And still get the Ravens in the Divisional round, and the Chiefs in the AFCCG. Q we Epenesa is apparently the new TBD whipping boy? The notion that Landon Jackson, who by all accounts looked bad during camp and preseason and hasn’t dressed for any of the first 3 games, can step in and be better than Epenesa is ridiculous. I think too many people place hope and misguided expectations above reality. It’s a bit like folks thinking Hairston, who hasn’t even taken a practice snap since late July, can come off IR and immediately be better than Tre (or even Strong). It just isn’t going to happen, folks. He may be better one day, but frankly I’d be shocked if it’s this season. Similar, again, to the talk back in July of Davis being as good as Cook. Hence, we can trade our best offensive weapon not named Allen. It’s just hope and misguided expectations of players being plug and play pieces. And completely ignores the reality of the world, the team, and the sport they’re playing. I hope Jackson and Hairston are all pro, long term Bills. But it should not be the expectation that they’re going to beat out current starters any time soon. and BTW… WTF with Oliver! 3 games because someone stepped on his foot.

We’re flying in for this game as well. It’ll be my first game in Buffalo. I’ve seen them in quite a few other stadiums over the many years, but never had the opportunity with my job to make the trip to Buffalo in the fall. All my sisters and parents are flying in as well, so it’ll be a family affair! They planned it all, bought the tickets and everything. I’m just showing up. LOL. The wife and I will get up early and go see the Falls (she’s never been). We’ll head back down to Buffalo on Saturday and meet up with the family and eat and drink all the things from there! Absolutely looking forward to my pilgrimage to the holy land!

F thay mentality! This whole notion that we would have to beat KC and every other top team to validate our team is just ridiculous. If we made the SB, would it only matter if we face Philly? We don’t have to banish any demons to legitimize anything. Just win! I’m not sure who I want to lose… but no way I can cheer for KC. Go Bills!

To be fair… Henry is about the only current running back in the league that can do this. AND that’s only after he gets pst the line and builds up some speed. So, I think that’s a bit asking for a RB that’s a once in a generation find. Cook hits the line and pushes the pocket when needed. He’s also patient and sets up his blocks at a top tier level. And then he can instantly shift gears and out run DBs. I’m just so glad they worked a deal to keep him in the team. Go Bills!

Thank you.

I play fantasy football and only look at stat lines. Whether the team wins, scoring 31 points is irrelevant. I need my players to be individual FF leaders. There must be a problem. Let’s fix what ain’t broke so I can talk trash to my sister.

Quoted for truth! Everyone ..expected.. this game to be a complete beat down ending in fired coaches and a torn franchise. And now they’re upset we only won by 10pts? People need to pull their heads out of their asses and just give the Fins credit for a good game, and give the Bills more credit for keeping their head down and grinding out a solid win against a division opponent. The Bills did what good teams do. They beat a team they should beat. Take the win and move on. We’re 3-0 and in firm control of the division! Keep stacking wins and… Go Bills!

Agreed with all this… which is why the closer we get to tomorrow night, the more nervous I get listening to the entire football world predict an ultimate beatdown and Miami collapse. It may be a beat down…but they still have an offense that can exploit our depleted back 7. I just hope the players really don’t watch any of the pundits talk!

I think it’s entirely too early to talk about the 1 seed, not to mention bad by ju ju! We all hope for it. We all want it. But it’s week 3 and the trees still have green leaves! Personally, I won’t be able to give it serious consideration until I’m eating pumpkin pie and planning a week of turkey left overs.

Agreed. Unless the players have just given up and are willing to throw in the towel to get a new regime, I think they come out on fire with an extremely well-scripted first drive. Their plan will be to be physical, jump to an early lead and hope to quiet the crowd and shut Allen down long enough to get into the late 3rd quarter. So, the Bills just have to be prepared, focused and consistent. They can and will wear down the Dolphins.. .whether it takes 1 quarter or 3. If Beane hasn't already put his scouts on the alert to find a Milano and Taron replacement, I'd be surpeised. Both of those positions require fast, physical and smart players. And both of those players are showing decline.. Milano more so than Taron. But, it's definitely time to look for replacements. I would also suggest, even if Bishop improves all season, it's probably time to look for a Rapp replacement as well (although that could potentially still be a full year away).

So you’re saying this is their Super Bowl!?

Is he any good?

Pretty sure it happened on Fields’ one long run. I saw him fall down.. I was hoping a minor ankle sprain, hammy or something similar. But this is worse. I guess it depends on the severity of the tear, but you gotta figure 4-6weeks minimum. ?

Agreed! This was a game, where i was thinking go vanilla to start the 2nd half. Don't run up the score because we'll see this team again and don't put anything on tape you don't want other teams to see. As has been mentioned, i wish they did more play action. And they either need to work really hard on screen passes, or just delete them from the playbook because they absolutely suck at screen passes. I mean suck. I like that they seem to be getting away from the tush push a bit. Not that i think its bad to run, but a few teams are getting better at figuring it out. So it's not quite the guarantee it used to be. But, yeah, otherwise…. Its hard to fault the offense at all ; especially week 2!

Looks like a TD to me. Glad they challenged

If they lost… I’m sure the despair would prevail for a week. Just gotta enjoy the win.. and being 2-0.

Thats the real issue… the NFL doesn’t consider a Canadian game part of the “international” series of suck games. They just consider it as another Bills’ home game. Even Jacksonville, who has done all they can to claim London as theirs… still gets to consider some of their London games as away. If a game in Toronto had the Bills play as the away team, I’m sure it would be better received by Bills Mafia, overall, and especially season ticket holding fans.

This is why I think those PFF scores are crap… how is Derek Henry not the #1 ranked RB last week? One fumble, I guess, negates the fact that he literally ran the Bills D into the ground.

I think this is one area of the game the Chiefs have mastered. They manage the number if possessions, as much as the clock, and change the tempo of their offense for the situation. It’s why they always seem to be in a one possession game and always have just enough time on the clock to get the final score and win. It doesn’t always work. Just look at your two games last year against them. In the regular season game, they got the Bills to a 4th down late in the game and most all the metrics say the Bills should have kicked a FG. If they do the Chiefs had all the time in the world to milk the clock down and tale the lead. But then Josh Allen did Josh Allen things. Then compare that go the Championship game. Even if Kincaid makes the catch and the Bills go in to score, there was almost certainly going to be enough time for the Chiefs to get the ball back down one score. As much as Reid is a master at scheming guys open, he's better at managing the possessions amd game clock per possession.

Maybe I’m just an old dude. But I don’t like this kind of stuff. It’s clearly all fake, I would think anyone can see that. But there’s something about it that just seems wrong. Stay humble, stay classy. More often than not… we’re on the wrong end of games like that.

You do realize how rare that is to be up by 3 or 4 touchdowns? I do think some expectations are out of alignment with the reality of our current plane of existence. Has anyone considered, that maybe Shakir’s statement was just a bit tongue in cheek given where they were in the game?

Verbal back and forth is one thing. But trying to hit players is another thing. Granted there’s a line between that and celebrating after a TD. Hopefully the league just tells players.. don’t go near fans in the sideline, celebrating in the endzone is ok. ALSO… people need to stop throwing stuff on the field. Ok one time a ***** was funny. But that’s over. Just don’t do it. It’s not a good look.

We all keep waiting for Bishop to improve. But.. how long do we give him? I know Hamlin sucks…but he’s rarely out of position as much as Bishop.
