Yes. Either pit arrives today as originally scheduled and spends two hotel nights…or come early Monday. Not coming Sunday with a travel ban.

You’re telling me the governor and emergency personnel made the decision? No way!! 🤯 Well…they’re sort of in charge of things like roads, airports, stadiums, etc. And..um..public safety. The game wasn’t postponed for the teams’ sake.

Ya but that is mitigated by no required travel.

THIS…is the worst take. No, it’s worse than that. Tell me precisely which Bills game had weather worse than what is coming tomorrow. You can’t. In fact, you should head to the stadium tomorrow early and livestream how nice the weather is.

Absolutely: 1. Sunday weather would have been too much of an equalizer. Monday weather much better. Colder but light winds. 2. Extra 27 hours might help TDod and Rasul. 3. Steelers screwed on travel-either they’re already here (for two nights in the Adam’s Mark) or they have to travel Monday AM. Nobody is landing at KBUF tomorrow.

The Bills "hosted" the Steelers at the Rogers Centre in Toronto in an August 2008 preseason game. The Bills were up big in that game, eventually winning 24-21. The Steelers went on to win the Super Bowl in Feb 2009. This season, the Steelers were up big on the Bills in preseason. Just sayin...

Never attribute to treachery that which can be explained by incompetence.

100% serious. Talking heads would never entertain this, but it is a thing.

No...and I imagine this occurs with many teams. I believe its probably more developed with the Bills compared with the mean because of their relative continuity and being fairly battle-tested—and their history. We heard the same thing from Linval, Rasul, and Leonard Fournette when they arrived this season. "This lockerroom is special. Its different".

That, my fellow fan, is The Law of Attractions. And you're spot on. Actually five games.

The 127 vs NE was the most the Pats have given up all season. They get paid too.

A hive mind is defined as a collective consciousness or intelligence that emerges from the coordination and cooperation of many individuals, similar to the behavior of bees in a hive. Without getting too deep, I submit that an organization as closely knit as the Bills has a Hive Mind. This post will be tagged as irrational homer reaching, so I won't be brief. For practical purposes, the Bills' hive mind, or collective conscious, seeks the obvious goal of survival, defined in their case as a SB championship. Just like in nature, there are forces trying to prevent this—of course, their opponents—but also information, the access to which being at an all-time high. After the defensive injuries of weeks 4 and 5, Allen's dinged shoulder in game 7 and the attendant losses in games 5, 7, 9, 10 and 12, the "information" in the form of narratives further developed: The Bills rely too heavily on Josh Allen. McDermott turtles at the end of games. The team plays the blame game for its troubles. The nadir was the ridiculous loss to Denver. We all reacted to those narratives, but so did the Bills' Hive Mind. After consecutive losses, that Hive Mind has gone through several phases of discovery and has created game situations that have tested the team's capabilities in specific ways, like a computer app searching for viruses. Versus the Jets and the Eagles, it proved to itself that the offense was as capable as ever. Versus KC (after the bye and "The McDermott Problem") the ability to close out a game on defense was tested. Versus Dallas, the ability to rely on the run game was tested. Versus LA, the ability to win in the end after a mediocre performance was tested. And finally, versus NE, this testing became acutely obvious when the defense was able to win the game with very little help from the offense. A housed opening kickoff and three 1st quarter turnovers won by the D while Allen had his worst 1st quarter as a pro demonstrates this pretty clearly. This Hive Mind wants the trophy so badly, that it has tested the team against its own failure modes to such an extent that Bills fans are being put through hell every game. But just like the previous three games this one ended with the Bills in victory formation—like it was never in doubt. Josh Allen did not suddenly start to suck. It's all been about testing. The testing is complete. Hive Mind now has the team ready to put it all together. For five games. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. Let the attacks begin!! #GoBills

Dallas is the "Scott Farkus" of the NFL. And the Bills will punch them out at the Ralphie. Ya...go ask the wise guys what they think. The writers are wrong.

Many of us have the ability to record multiple games, so we can watch each one. Why the phuuck does ESPN split the screen between the two games....for several minutes at a time. Stuuuuupid.

Didn't look like it. Looks like Frank was still on his Bills apology tour. (you must've written that at 27-13 lmao)

KC wanted to troll the Bills with the Music Shiitty Miracle. Frank Wycheck looked down and said phuuck you.

We noticed that from even before the game started. And it was different. Who crapped on your halo???

Tyler Dunne is a Bills fan. Did his 20,000 word screed just cement the Bills tighter than any team in the league?

Tyler Dunne is a Bills fan. Was this an attack on Sean McDermott—or a brilliantly crafted vehicle to bring the Bills together?

Home-run throwback reversed at Arrowhead keeps Bills alive. Rest in Peace (and keep watching the games) Frank. God bless.

Have you actually watched Lamar??

You're assuming McDermott was of the same mind in both instances of hiring an OC. Not so. He was arrogant when hiring Dorsey. He was desperate when hiring Brady.

Did you read the post?? Belichick needs a championship QB to excel. I made no comment on the Patriots. That's why I said Beane picks the players. Who is everyone? Beane is one of the good ones. And no, !@#$ Bill doesn't get to be GM.

Bills hire Bill Belichick as next head coach. Joe Brady remains OC. Beane picks the talent. This will draw ridicule. But it's obvious Belichick needs a championship QB to win and Josh Allen needs a championship coach to win. Both are lost without the other. Irony is so underrated.

This is precisely the point. McDermott is excellent at taking "mediocre" and making it "really good". But that same skillset might be poison for taking "really good" and turning it into "championship".
