It all starts with ownership and Cleveland’s ownership might be the worst in the league.

They must be thinking he was short when he started the dive?

Terrible calls. Both were incorrect.

This ended up being a great prediction!!!

Still think that was a TD

First catch, first TD!

Go Bills!!!

I actually really enjoy the Prime Vision alternate broadcast on Thursday evenings. I love being able to see what’s happening downfield every play. Plus, the added AI overlays give some additional context to pre-snap movements. One additional opinion: The NFL hasn’t peaked, but the Bills might have. I noticed a similar trend in my Packers friends towards the end of the Rodgers era. They were much less interested in the NFL because they knew just about everything that would happen to their team. They’d make a run and find a way to blow it in the playoffs. It creates a form of burnout. Those same Packers fans are now deeply interested in the NFL again and I think it is because of the excitement of an ascending team.

Was at the game tonight. From the stands, that was an absolutely brutal outing for that reffing crew. The game had no flow and dragged out for forever.

Can we have a poll like this after every game? Then summarize the results over an entire season?

Nothing new is happening. This happens every season. Folks feel the need to say “good coaching” (just two weeks ago) and “bad coaching” (now) but it’s not that simple. The fact that the Bills are fairly dominant in the first quarter of the season every year says something positive about the organization. The fact that the Bills always go through an early-mid season slump says something negative about the organization. The fact that the Bills always get their act together enough to make the playoffs and to advance deep enough to play a real contender also says something good about the organization. The fact that the Bills can never top said contender says something negative about the organization. There is no mystery here. The Bills will get right within 4 weeks or so and will head into the playoffs in “pretty good” shape. A new receiver won’t change this. The more upsetting thing for me is that the organization has not been able to change this pattern. I LOATHE the emotional doom and gloom posters. I think they are very, very wrong in their analytical approach to football in general. However, I am also of the opinion that the sample size is becoming large enough to legitimately question whether this organization can win the big one. I see another looming divisional or, at best, AFC championship game exit.

I think Samuel has been getting his fair share of looks / designed plays. I also think he has been bad with nearly all of his opportunities. The Bills need better out of him - or to stop calling his number altogether.

The run game was working best yesterday. No qualms with always running it on first when Josh is having an off day. One thing that has been bothering me: Nothing good seems to happen when we target Samuel. Time to give it a rest for, well, maybe the remaining games or so.

This is par for the course for this Bills team. I am prepared for about 4 more games of “ugly” football before they really start to click again.
