The Frankish Reich

They get it. This “we are Buffalo, we thrive in the elements” thing is pissing me off. More examples: the Indy snowstorm game that we WON with a combo of the statistically worst NFL QB of all time (Peterman) and an emergency punt returner (Joe Webb). Pray for calm weather! People are living in the past when we were clearly inferior to most playoff teams and bad weather gave us a fightin chance. Accept today’s reality: we’re really good!

Exactly. This is a good weather team! I read those “bring on the snow/wind/cold” comments and wonder what Bills era people are living in. Cookie Gilchrist rumbling for 5 yards a pop? Joe Ferguson throwing for 70 yards per game? Ground Chuck (Knox)? We are a speed and big play offense (and defense), built for fair weather. Bad weather (not cold, but wind/precip) is the great equalizer. It’s how we lose to the Pats at home in gale force winds and then utterly destroy them 3 times in a row in neutral weather. Or how the Jets stay close in a constant cold rain. Rule: the better team always prefers to eliminate outside factors (weather is the big one) that don’t let it’s natural talent advantage show. The weaker team always wants some extraneous factor to act as an equalizer.

Impeccable timing!

Damn. Tyreek is why they're never out of it.

Great to see fins fans still rockin the Marino jerseys. They haven't had a real franchise player since then. And Tua won't be taking over any time soon.

Exactly. I believe they are actually good. Like, the best team in their division good, and it isn't very close. The offense was there the first half, and now the rest of the team is coming around. At least not on THIS message board

Bills are on a epic roll of Bad Things Happening To Our Competition

Depends on what you're looking for https://www.outsports.com/2022/11/3/23423355/steve-kornacki-msnbc-2022-midterm-election-gay-sports

Sometimes all it takes is for one defense to figure out an opponent. Yes, Miami hasn't been running up big scores every game, but it's been an efficient offense and has done what's needed. All of a sudden it seems like some teams with good defensive personnel can neutralize the quick catch and run game. The Bills have that personnel too ...

Love me some Kornacki. The only reason I ever flip to msnbc on election nights

We don't think that's Cook, but they haven't really run him till he pukes yet

And adding an elite receiver is the easiest way for a team to vault ahead. Diggs, AJ Brown, etc.

Complete domination. 21:00 to 9:00 time of possession. Miami completely exposed (and the Chargers the Team You Don't Want to Get in the Playoffs If They Ever Make it There). But only a 10 point game thanks to the Chargers sleeping on that fumble.

Is Chan Gailey still alive? We need a Special Screen Game Consultant.

Why not?

There is such a thing as overthinking.

I agree. Chargers destroy the Miami myth tonight.

Kind of true. I refuse to anoint the Eagles, but I gotta admit, they've got something happening there

Josh Johnson in at QB for the Niners. He clearly won the Broncos backup QB job this preseason but they went with Rypien. If he'd been in there for Russell Wilson today at least they would've had a chance. He's .... Adequate!

49ers are the best team in football IF they can get even average performance at QB.

I think the problem is this: Wilson finally tried (because grudge game for the Broncos; the Chiefs are to them what the Pats were to us) to carry the team on his back and did things like actually put his head down to try to get a key first down running the ball. And the result? Exactly what he and Hackett seemed to be afraid of: a significant injury. So they can score 13 points and lose with the 2022 Russell Wilson, or score 24 points with the old Russell Wilson and watch him get knocked out of the game. Not a good place for the Broncos to be.

Meanwhile: Brock Purdy = Gardner Minshew on a good team. Could this actually work? Chiefs-Broncos is a better game, but I'm hoping to see plenty of highlights of Tom sulking.

Hey, he learned!

More on Hackett and Kubiak's son. Rypien doesn't have the arm to throw those even if he's not hit. Stupid.

There's a lot that Mahomes and Allen have in common this year. Both are prone to getting greedy, unwilling to grind out those unsatisfying 24-14 wins ...
