I don't have a facebook. So... Nope.

Excellent write up and review, as always. I enjoy the read and your take each week. Thank you. 2. I hate to even post about Tyrod due to all the incessant derailing, but I agree with you. I think he's good enough to win us plenty of games and keep us competitive for a couple years. But I can't help but think he's one of those guys that does just enough to look good, but never enough to elevate the team to a championship, ala Romo (sorry I just derailed the whole thread!). I'm happy he's on the team; wish him well; and hopeful he can get us further than I imagine. And look forward to the Bills drafting ..and developing.. a franchise QB for decades to come. 5. I actually got choked up watching that. For all the "tankers" that want better draft picks... Go tell Kyle Williams he needs to lose on purpose so the team can get better. I dare you. That guy is all heart! 7. That end of half play was ...pathetic. I'll chalk it up to a young HC learning and making mistakes. We all do. But it's called situational football. The coaches not only need to be aware of it, remind the players of it, but also practice in these situations. It's precisely these types of situations, this lack of execution by all involved, the missed points; that separate the playoff teams from the good teams. 8. White can straight up play! I hope he can continue it into January. Yes, it was a great game and a win we needed to finish out to stay pace with the afc. For those who wanted great, dominant wins every week, the NFL is not designed to give us that anymore. You take wins where you can get them. And this was a good, hard fought win that I'll gladly take! 4-2 is soooooo much better than 3-3.

Does Al and this broadcasting crew realize that no one gives a crap about last year's Super Bowl. Give it a rest already.

It would be completely stupid to trade a franchise Left Tackle, that appears to have zero attitude issues and has few lingering health issues. Dareus on the other hand..... seems to be playing just well enough to not completely suck.

I wasn't confident until the final tackle... And even then I paused to double check for a penalty flag. Being a Bills' fan is not for the faint of heart! LOL

I must admit... I thought it was too. It just looked like a game that we should absolutely win, yet did everything possible to lose it. And then.. Bam... Tyrod hits that big throw and the while team game alive. It takes a lot to change the culture of a team. ...and a fan base. But do I dare believe that this team is changing their fate?

I was going to say... Relocation/moving. But then, that's the team quitting on us fans. I'd still be a fan of the Buffalo Bills, I just wouldn't have anything to cheer any more. But, players, coaches, losing, winning, all that crap comes and goes. I have endured and will continue to endure that until I'm dead.

...and we're done here! /thread

Personally, I don't like the red zone channel. I want to watch a game, not a disconnected series of plays and highlights. I like the strategy, seeing the alignments, feeling the flow of the game. But, maybe this is a large part of the issue. Today's kids ....yeah.. I'm old enough to say that now ...don't seem to have the ability to concentrate on a single 3+ hour game.

Over saturation is a big part of it. MNF used to be the single, nation wide, primetime game. Now you got them every other day of the week it seems. Add to it the over saturation of certain teams always getting the primetime spots, and it another big who cares. Why is it the Bills never get a prime time game?? I know they suck, but are thet really that bad compared to the Titans or any of these other crappy teams they try to make us watch. Add in the league being able to make a phone call and stripping points off the board when ever they seem to feel like it and its just hard to get too excited about games any more.

And yet they still won the Super Bowl. And 4 game suspension after getting caught cheating during a game. Players get more suspension time for off the field bar fights. I agree the league is incompetent and stupid with their rules. The fact that ...no one... knows what a catch is any more is all you need to look at. However, its more than just coincidental that a small few teams, with New England's team being at the top of the list, benefit more frequently and at more critical junctures in the game than the lesser hyped teams.

I see the type of play going on around the league and think we can definitely hang with any team. I think, if we can just field some NFL caliber WRs, we could definitely have a playoff game (might could even do it if the coaches would scrap this zone block crap and let Tyrod run more). But... Then I see the league call down from New York, take points off the board, and give the ball to the opposing team. And I think... What does it matter? The league clearly has their favorites and they clearly will do whatever they want to make sure certain teams win. And that is why it's getting harder to be a fan and watch these games. You get excited thinking you're watching an upset happening, watching a good game, and the league reminds you that nope.. We're not gonna let our favorite teams lose.

Now it makes sense! None of the Bills wins can be good ones now...ergo we suck and should stop even trying.

Surely you jest. Everyone knows... If we beat the Chiefs, then the Chiefs obviously aren't a very good team and clearly suck as well. It's a fact...the Bills never beat good teams, nor do half of their wins really count because they didn't win the right way.

They aren't in sole possession of first place. The Bills are on a bye. So, just like your favorite team they still have 2 losses. Hence, we still share the division lead with them. Furthermore, I would add that the Bills were in first place after week 1. So it's your favorite team that has had to keep winning each week just to keep pace with the Bills. There's still a lot of football to be played. Who know where the teams will end up. But.... Can we try to enjoy the season rather than writing the Bills off while they share the division lead?

You absolutely cannot discount the cheating culture and extreme favoritism that team receives from the league. They are quite literally gifted several wins each and every year due to highly questionable calls. Today was a case in point.

Watching this Jets game just reminds me why watching football has become so difficult: First, we haven' had a WR is decades that could actually catch poorly thrown balls. I see receivers all the time catch poorly thrown balls and bail out their QB... Except in Buffalo. It's frustrating. Second, the refs are so clearly in the back pocket of the Patsies, and perhaps most big market teams. How many times does the underdog team do something good only to gave it called back because of a ticky tack penalty? It's become so blatant over the years, you just expect it. Edit.... Switching to Packers game - apparently you can't block defenseless defenders any more? WTF.

The refs will always make sure the they're in it till the end.

Touchdown Jets. I'm having second thoughts about McCown! Lol

That's what I would call... Winning the Bye week!

Why is it Brady ..never.. gets hit like Rodgers just did?

You beat me by 10 seconds!

Exactly my thinking. How do you as a new Head Coach not look at the last 2 years of tape and say, lets keep that going? It doesn't take a full year of study, it doesn't take seeing the players in person for a a full season of play. It was blatantly obvious to anyone that saw the Bills play.... For 2 years our defense sucked and the offense was decent. So bring in a new philosophy on defense that takes you back to the players strengths (which they seem to have done), and hire someone that will retain the offense as it was. Sure, over time you can and should introduce additional wrinkles, upgrade players, move on from some. But to do what they've done is an inexcusable. I'm not saying I want any of them fired... I'm just saying they should own up to their mistakes and change what they're doing.

And that is exactly how you fix this offense. Drop this nonsense that Dennison thinks is going to work, and run the plays that the current players ran quite proficiently for the last 2 years. But... I fully expect they won't do that. We'll continue to hear how we need a new offensive line, new WRs, new QB, new every thing and wait a couple years for them all to figure it out. All while having to trust this process to dismantle a top 10 scoring offense, so we can get it to their version of a top 10 scoring offense.

Here's my issue... We saw this 2 years ago. Rex comes in and with pretty much the same defensive personnel, the defensive production falls off a cliff. Pundits spend how much time trying to figure out what went wrong? Now we have essentially the same offensive players (minus a few notable receivers) and we have to try and figure out why the offense is struggling. It's the coaching/scheme.. Plain and simple. Do coaches have their playbooks copywrited or something? Its like one staff leaves, the new ones come in and can't figure out how to do anything. Blame gets placed on the players, so we have to get new ones. Its a stupid cycle that is about as predictable as the changing of the leaves.
