Oh Elam is active. Ok
I think the Bills are just being generous by letting him play in his last game on the active roster as a Buffalo Bill. 😉

This will be the 4th time in their history that the Bills will be playing the Chiefs to determine which team goes to the Super Bowl.
1966 L
1993 W
2020 L
2024 TBD
The Bills are 1-2 in those contests.
Time to even it up!
Go Bills!

The NFL has one goal- make as much money as possible. KC can provide more revenue.
Kansas City is the golden child. Rock star Mahomes is all over commercial ads, Taylor and Travis. 3-peat. Great storylines.
The NFL wants the Chiefs again.
I have little doubt it won’t happen.
And now we’ve got the flag-happiest NFL officiating crew overseeing this contest.
Unless the Bills pull out all the stops and play nearly error-free ball, I don’t see them advancing this year. Not because they’re not good enough, but because the NFL wants to control the narrative that will yield maximum $$$$$. -

Coleman gets no separation. He is absolutely blanketed on every throw.
Cooper we don’t see enough to make a judgement.
He catches a 30-yard TD, and then disappears for two weeks and plays 30% of snaps.It’s Samuel and Shakir on crossers, and Mack Hollins gets loose 1-3 times a game.
I'm skeptical that Coleman will ever amount to any more than James Hardy 2.0. He's got the size and is athletic, but maybe he is better suited to basketball. He's dropped several. Other than a few jump balls, I can't think of any instances in which he made a contested catch or one that was slightly behind where he had to use more concentration. The Bills still need an elite # 1 wideout to put this offense into the stratosphere.

For a team that was projected to be second or third place in AFCEast.
A team that lost veteran safeties, a stud WR, other departures.
Win or lose vs KC, I’m at peace with our team.
If we win, awesome.
If we lose, it happens.
Im very relaxed about this year’s team. Can only get better.
I feel the same way, considering the anticipated outcome for 2024 prior to the start of the season.
The Bills have far exceeded expectations.
Yes, we will be disappointed if they fail to win it all, but I can't honestly say it could be viewed as a failed season. When the schedule was released last May and we saw the gauntlet of top teams they'd face, how many fans actually thought there was much chance of having double-digit wins and securing the division title by early December?
And in 2025, with a stockpile of draft picks they can bundle to either move up, or just target good prospects they can coach up. Hopefully, they'll be able to plug some of the holes. Would love to see Josh get an elite WR and find a wide-body athletic DT disrupter to man the middle of the D-line and reinforce the run D. Could use another corner. Expect Mr. Inactive, Elam to be gone. Additionally, they'll have greater ability to sign free agents with more available cap money.
BTW - Buffalo has become an attractive destination for free agents looking to be part of a championship team.
If they manage to win a Super Bowl, it will be a real Cinderella story. It would sure make for a great real life feel-good movie highlighting the path of Buffalo Joe, ending with a Bass 47-yard FG to win the Super Bowl. 🙂
Whatever happens, I'll look back on the 2024 season that gave us a lot of joy.

If this kind of content was just for 21 and under - TikTok wouldn't be what it is. I assure you, it's not just limited to 21 and under.
And to be quite frank, I find this kind of out of touch, generational superiority post way more embarrassing than the cringiest TikTok.
Those shorts remind me of some of the idiotic artsy films that came out in the late 60s made by drugged out film students. Images and ideas skipped all over the place, providing minimal entertainment value unless the viewer was on the same wavelength and chemicals. It's only my opinion, but the shorts don't seem to make much sense. Maybe I need a hit of orange sunshine to appreciate them. I'll pass.

If that ADD-inspired bizarro nonsensical content is appealing to the under-21 Gen Z audience, the mental acuity needed to appreciate it may explain the sub par service and products we frequently get at fast food restaurants these days.

If you want McD gone you have to think that Harbaugh needs to go too right?
After all no hc qb combo has won a sb after 5 years together.
After all he is 1-2 as the 1 seed since 2019.
After all he is 2-4 in the postseason since 2018.
After all he has only made it to 1 afc championship with one of the most electric qbs in the game.
After all he has a 2 time mvp qb and has only won 1 division title in the last 4 years.
After all he has lost to a washed up philip rivers and ryan tannehil in the playoffs!
After all he has a 1-3 playoff record at home since 2018.
So if you wamt McD gone for underperforming and losing to the chiefs 3 of 4 years certainly you think Harbaugh is trash and needs to go to right?
The Bills and McD have outperformed them over the last 6 years and the Ravens have the benefit of the mvp and 3 first team all pros this year vs the Bills single 2nd team all pro yet still lost to the same team at home as the Bills did.
Or does a super bowl 11 years ago followed by a single afc title game appearance this year carry that much water?
Recent history and performance clearly favors McD so I am very interested to hear opinions of Harbaugh and whether he should keep his job or be fired.
I wanted to post this. Thanks for beating me to it

It’s great to hear local Bills’ talk. I listen to One Bills Live on my 20 min drives to and from work.
But why is it half the faceless callers i imagine as bald whiskey-nosed retirees sitting in their dreary basement bar, drinking Utica Club, farting, and bellowing through their deviated septums about how they’ve been a fan since the days of Kemp and Sestak.
The other half sound like they have some speech impediment?
It’s usually the same 4 or 5 callers.
To their credit, Brown and Tasker are exceptionally gracious with callers.-

No. You don’t play someone who hasn’t played a down all year in a championship game.
Well, the Bills interrupted LB Klein’s vacation to suit him up for the divisional game last season. At least Hyde has been participating in practice, so it’s not as if he’s unfamiliar with the schemes and his teammates.

I don't think comparing BB's record without Brady to McD's coaching record with Josh is very fair lol.
For example, McD's has a losing record without Josh.
McD has zero SB appearances without Josh.
The plan to hire BB would not be to "start over." It would be the exact opposite. It would be a short-term move to try get a ring while Josh is still in his physical prime.
Well, there you go! Hire Belichick and start planning the parade.
No chance of mutiny by the players- you know the same loyal ones who came to McDs defense by winning 7 straight games after a writer dragged the coach in one of his columns.
Does Belichick bring in McDaniels and the rest of his old NE staff, or does Joe Brady, Kromer, Babich and the rest of the staff send McD off with a one-finger salute while pinning their career onto the aging (aged) ex-Patriots coach?
The level of stupidity is remarkable.

Belichick.
If we are going into this playoff gauntlet of Ravens then likely Chiefs then likely Eagles/Lions, who would you rather have coaching?
I don’t dispute that Belichick has a brilliant defensive mind, but the reality is that his head coaching record without Brady is very average 82-97, a winning percentage of .463, far below McDermott’s win percentage. And oh yeah, zero Super Bowl appearances without Brady.
Brady is arguably the GOAT. Josh was a raw prospect who needed some refining, and is now starting to show the maturity needed to be one of the best.
Could the Bills win the Super Bowl with Josh and Belichick? I don’t know. I don’t really need to find out if hiring a 72-year-old coach to start over is a great idea.

Except he's choked it away even when everything did come together for him, like the 13 seconds game. Your coach's side of the ball and game management shouldn't be an anchor for your team to overcome to make it to the promised land, it should be a positive. It hasn't been for us. Even the Perfect Storm wasn't good enough for him.
Ok genius. Put on your GM hat. Who’s your new hire as Bills coach?
Do you have an actual solution or are you just a whiner who’s all butt-hurt because your Bills lose in the playoff.-

There needs to be more balance from both sides when it comes to the Sean McDermott debate.
I agree that some Bills fans go totally overboard, wanting to fire him every time he misses a replay challenge or makes a slightly questionable time management decision. But I also don't think he should just get an unlimited leash for the rest of his career, like some people seem to suggest.
Is Josh Allen one of the Top 2 quarterbacks in the entire NFL? Is Brandon Beane one of the best GMs in the league? If those things are both true, then why do we keep falling short of winning the Super Bowl? Not just being the champion, but we are currently at 3 straight home losses in the Divisional Round (hopefully that breaks on Sunday evening). For all our regular season success, we can't even seem to get the AFC top seed either. It's either the talent or the coaching. Can't have it both ways.
We all realize where this franchise was pre-2017. We all realize what McDermott has helped build us into. He's a great guy, the locker room clearly loves him, and I really want to see him succeed. Winning the AFC East is much nicer than going back to the drought days. But I'm not willing to just keep accepting second place forever. It doesn't make me or anyone else an "idiot" for refusing to accept falling short. The Bills absolutely MUST win a championship (and soon), or something needs to change.
I think some of you don’t have a grasp on the difficulty of getting to, let alone winning a Super Bowl. There are several NFL coaches who have made Super Bowl appearances, some of whom have a Lombardi in the display case. McVay, Harbaugh, Payton, Tomlin among them. All great coaches, but multiple Super Bowl wins have been elusive. Did they suddenly suck at coaching?
Every year there are several outstanding coaches, some whom make the playoffs and some who don’t.
Winning the big game is having everything come together in ‘the perfect storm’. Coach, QB, GM, draft choices who contribute, and sometimes a little luck with the bounce of that weird ball.As a Bills’ fan, the last thing I’d want is an owner with a knee jerk reaction that would fire a coach like McDermott, only to start from scratch by gambling on another, probably with less experience. That’s a great recipe for a revolving door of coaches (and players) that get changed out every 2 or 3 years and brings back those nostalgic days of an extended playoff drought.
Keep calling for a new coach. Be careful what you wish for.

McDermott has been at least average in the regular season.
The playoffs are another story. Maybe this year is different.
Round 1 over Denver was a huge defensive win. Holding them to 7 points was impressive.
In the 7 games prior to our Wild Card matchup, the Broncos had scored 29, 41, 31, 34, 24, and 38.
Round 2, we face a Ravens offense that has been dominant.
If McDermott shuts down the Ravens or at least holds them under 20'ish points, that's it for me. I'll stop talking about his job security.
No coach can shut down every elite QB and elite offense every year and yes, he's had some poor defensive performances in the playoffs.
However, if he gets it done this time, I've seen enough. Bring him back with open arms next year and probably again the following year.
Anybody else feel the same?
I’m sure McD can sleep well tonight knowing he has your blessing to continue for at least another season as the Bills head coach. 🙄
Anyone who’s entertained the notion of firing McDermott is a complete idiot in my opinion. The team has won 14 of 18 games in what was expected to be a ‘transition year’ with the exodus of several key players. It would probably have been 15 of 18 if they’d played their best team against the pats. In the process, they handed defeats to the top seeded teams each conference, and also both teams from the last Super Bowl.
But yeah, let’s start looking for McDs replacement if they lose.
When I hear the ‘fire McDermott’ chants, I’m convinced they’re coming from the same idiots who went ballistic when the Bills chose Josh Allen rather than Josh Rosen.-

With streaming and numerous viewing options, why would anyone be distressed over a network’s fixed schedule? I watch what I want when I want. If I choose to watch the Bills ‘perfect game’ vs New England, I pull it up on NfL+ without needing the blessing of the NFL Network.

Nov 15, 1981, The Bills were 4 point favorites over the St Louis Cardinals. Needing some extra Christmas money, my buddy and myself each put a c-note on the Bills, thinking it was close to 'a sure thing'.
I wasn't able to watch the game as I was working retail that day, and had to rely on customers for updates.
The Bills got pounded 24-0. $110 lost with the vig. That's probably about $350+ in 2024 dollars.
First and last time I bet with a bookie and never more than a few bucks with anyone else.
