The Frankish Reich

Cody Ford sighting! And shockingly, it's not for a good thing.

Agreed. Hey, I mentioned that I actually caught the sarcasm!

And Von was going to play against the Jets.

Pats play the most boring football in the NFL now. I would've said the Broncos, but they played a legit exciting game yesterday. No reason to ever watch the Pats if you're not a diehard fan. Or a Bills fan who just likes watching how irrelevant they've become.

Yep. As you seem to suggest, the NFL study (yes, question the source, but I read the report and it looks solid) shows no statistically significant difference. Confirmation bias.

My left brain should want the Pats to win. But my right brain will EFFIN KILL my left brain if it catches it cheering for Belichick.

I do agree that what the Chargers did against Tua won’t work against Josh. He’d take those open lanes for 100 yards rushing. But … if Bosa is back, a really good pass rush is a problem. As are Allen/Williams/Ekeler if they are all healthy at the same time. I’d rather avoid them entirely. Give me the Dolphins or Pats a 3rd time …

Chargers if healthy are the only team other than Bills/Bengals/Chiefs that I could see making it to the Super Bowl. So now that they’ve done their job and exposed Miami as a fraud, it’s time for them to go all Chargers again and lose to the Rams and Broncos.

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.
