I think the raiders did something similar to this when they beat them this season.

I want Beane running this team. But I did not like our draft. I was really low on Epenesa, lukewarm on Moss. Davis and Bass were really nice mid/late round picks, though.

I don't know, man. The 4 seasons gets me pumped!

Couldn't agree more. The Bills offense from weeks 14 - 17 is not the offense we saw in the playoffs. Also, I love Josh, but I think he needs to work on staying calm and playing within himself. He seems to get too hyped in big games. Hopefully he got this out of his system, and next time he can play like he's been there before. I believe in him.

I agree that we need a better pass rush and running game. But I feel more like the way to get there is a true CB2 (coverage leads to sacks), and better o-line play. I'd like to see us draft CB2, OL, DL. then a speedy RB.

The trend towards the young up- and-comer continues. Interesting nfl pattern. It'll be interesting to see how this goes.

We also require 3 references...and at least 1 letter of recommendation.

I know the Bills played to really good defenses in the last two playoff games. But the offense looked a bit out of sync. The WRs are pretty banged up so maybe that's it. But I do wonder if Daboll was a little distracted by the head coaching stuff. Interviews take a lot of preparation. Researching then reaching out to potential assistants takes a lot of time.

Nationwide could be cool. They had some pretty funny commercials with Peyton Manning.

The Bills D has shown this season that they can take away half of the offense. The Ravens only had half an offense to begin with.

Thank you! That 4th and 1 killed me. He tries to take down an RB on fire with a shoulder hit...behind the line of scrimmage...on 4th and 1...on a play that would have ended the game.

The Colts came out hungry and played with a lot of intensity. They have a great o-line, and a really good front 7 on D. This was always going to be a tough game. The AFC playoffs are pretty stacked with talented teams. Still, I feel like Daboll made a lot questionable calls. I'd like to see more camera angles to see if the Colts were doing something to stop our passing attack. But the designed runs with Josh Allen running parallel to the LOS just didn't make sense. This is a passing team, but we had a 3 and out early where we ran the ball on all 3 downs. Our running game has been questionable all season. And the Colts have a dominating front 7. Did Daboll screw up the game plan this week, or did the Colts take it away?

I think Diggs and Beasley are both gutting it out on the field. They're playing hurt. That's why the roster moves with Duke, and Stills. And this might be why Josh was running so much out there. Not saying I agree. I was just as pissed off as the rest of you.

I don't think Dirk Diggler would approve of this.

The longer we last in the playoffs, the more likely he stays. Teams don't like waiting to hire new head coaches.

Absolutely! We really can see him improving week to week. As much as I'm blown away by his arm, it's his ability to adjust and be coached that impresses me the most.

Define meaningless game. I want the Bills to have the #2 seed. The Steelers may lose 2 more games.

Put me in coach...I'm ready to play.

I don't envy the decisions that Beane will have to make. But this is the price of being a good GM in the NFL. You have to be willing to let good players walk. And you must draft well. I absolutely loved the signing of Williams. But it will be hard to keep him and Milano. Also, we have to make sure there's enough money to sign Josh and Edmunds to extensions (I believe these are the priorities for Beane and McDermott). Then you have to expect that Diggs will want a raise soon.

Chiefs barely got past the Dolphins today. The conference is wide open. Bills are heating up at the right time. Teams like the Chiefs and Steelers are wearing down. I'm not saying they're going to win for sure, but the Bills can beat any team in the NFL. We have a good chance.

Defense. They're healing up and starting to look like last year's squad. Steelers really only had one scoring drive. The other was a short field from the interception

Agreed. You can find athletic guys with rocket arms in the NCAA. But what has impressed me the most, and what gives me hope for the future, is Josh's ability to be coached. It's clear that he recognizes that he has issues, and you can almost see him working on those issues from week to week. The jump he made from year 2 to year 3 is bonkers. He's committed to learning and perfecting his craft and it shows. A side note, I feel the same way about McDermott. He seems to be willing to adjust his coaching style and tendencies. The ability to self analyze with honesty is invaluable. We have guys willing to do that.

It seems that most seasons, a talented team gets hot late in the season and rides the wave to a deep playoff push (2019 Titans). The Bills this season have had a lot of key injuries yet still have found success. Looks like this team is getting healthy at the right time. The Bills are well poised to be that hot team heading into the final stretch. Fingers crossed.

I hope you're right. But I can easily see this Dolphins team beat the Pats and Raiders. My guess is that we're both likely at 11 - 4 going into the last game for the AFCE title.

In the offseason, I couldn't believe anyone was writing off the Dolphins. They had a depleted roster last year, but played hard for their coach (who I think is excellent). The restocked in the offseason, and had a solid draft. Looks like we're back in the early/mid 90s. Bills and Dolphins duking it out for the AFC East. But, to your point, we need them to lose 3 of the next 7 to be safe. Then the Bills have to do their part.
