I see what you "mean"!

Fields will be running for his life (and hopefully mostly contained). GO BILLS!!

Wishing all who celebrate a Merry Christmas - Also wishing those in the greater Bflo area health and safety during the blizzard!! It's bitterly cold here in Cincy but nothing near the level that Bflo is dealing with. Go Bills - Crush Da Bears!!!!

Do whatever it takes to win - I don't care who gets the ball. I do wonder though if a "less open" Diggs is a better target than a "more open" Davis or McKenzie? Who knows?

That's nuts!! Weather for Cincy game should be good, though, with a chance of rain.

Milano for sure and Knox or Cook

I'm local but don't know the area too well. Montgomery Inn famous for ribs. OTR (Over the Rhine) area is great for bars/restaurants. Good casino (Hard Rock) downtown if you're into that (I'm a pretty big poker player, so FYI they have a nice poker room). I'm likely going to game with my 12 and 15 yr old kids . . .

The actual temperature and crazy low wind chill, in and of itself, wouldn't be a reason to adjust the timing or location of the game. But blizzard/dangerous driving conditions in/around Chicago at the worst time, or even around Buffalo if impacts ability to travel to Chicago, could be a reason to adjust the game IMHO.

You're right - We've been below average this year overall, and right about average for 2020 and 2021 (I checked the stats). I'm sure there are a lot of factors impacting the average. To my eye, the Bills D has generally been good this year in short yardage situations - Maybe 4th downs are an exception to that or that I'm focusing more on recent games?

Fourth down stops are big plays for sure - Often similar in magnitude/implications as a turnover.

Cool, haven't gotten mine yet

Corollary to 1. above (obvious, of course): You are 1 of 8 teams left at (your) start of the tournament rather than 1 of 14 (also meaning need to win one less game) - That is a huge advantage!

You do realize Josh threw 4 TD passes last night, correct? And for over 300 yards? I'm not saying it's ideal that he's our leading rusher, but he's also throwing alot of TD passes.

Or in my case, playing tackle football in the snow in HS during "indoor" track and getting my jaw broken while trying to block for a German exchange student - Fun times!!

But did you hear that Brandt went to Princeton?!

I'm sure that's true - Even now, I get more stressed watching my 12-yr old son play in a tennis tournament vs watching a nail-biter Bills game - Blood is indeed thicker than water for sure!

Congrats on your son's graduation!! A big Bills win could make for a perfect weekend for you and your family!!

He's healthy presumably and will be highly motivated to show he can still play at a high level - And he's a "safety blanket" kind of player for Josh. The more I chew on it, the more I like it. Little downside but plenty of upside.

Interesting move - At a minimum, it'll shake up the WR locker room. Hope it doesn't create friction, but it obviously sends a message that the team is a meritocracy: you'll only see the field if you play competently. Go Bills! And I can quickly forget all the non-football BS

I actually think the lack of time made it a more egregious error to not go for the 8 points in that spot. Not much time to get that close again - Need to trust the offense to get 1 or more yards there - And find out sooner than later whether the 2-pointer is going to work. I mean, the outcome of a L is highly likely no matter what but seems like a golden opportunity to go for the 8 points there was squandered.

They're doing what it takes to win. Their mantra is to go "1-0" every week - That's the right mindset. Lots of positives yesterday, including no turnovers and minimal, if any, injuries. Defense was on fire and offense scored 20 (with crappy weather 1st half and against an elite D) and played conservatively at the end to protect the lead. And looking back at recent games, the Lions are a much better team than given credit for, and we played them at their house on a 4-game winning streak IIRC. All that said, complementary (notice the spelling) football will mean the O stepping up if the D lets a team like the Chiefs roll on O. So the concerns expressed about the recent O performance make sense in the context of a game like that. Go Bills!!

Sloppy at times but no turnovers, pretty much no injuries on our side (which is huge!), and we won by 8 (partially due to prevent/conservative play calling at the end). Defense made tons of plays and literally beat the crap out of White (and frankly kudos to him - took a lot and kept playing - I'd take him as a backup any day). Josh's numbers look worse b/c of some drops and maybe a pass or two impacted by the weather. Objectively, a fairly solid win all around.

The Jets can go FU@K themselves! GO BILLS!

Kind of bugged me too (can't help it!) . . .

Cook and Poyer
