Doc Brown

The Rooney family.

The contract extension is why I think it's close to zero. However, at the end of the season if I'm Pegula I'm talking to the core players/leaders on the team (Allen, Diggs, Milano, Dawkins, Oliver) and see what they think of McDermott. If he gets the impression McD's message has gone stale then it's time to cut bait. If they're still willing to go to war for him then give it another season. The easiest transition would be to promote Joe Brady to head coach, keep Beane as GM, and promote a DC from within. They're 6-6. Unless they buy Super Bowl tickets they're not on the verge of going there.

Happy Birthday Stef. Wouldn’t have had all the success without you. Was very concerned this would turn into a the age of the start of the WR decline thread. Glad I was wrong.

We won as double digit underdogs @Atlanta in 2017 and @Minnesota in 2018.

I think you got your black coaches mixed up.

Your argument against us not bouncing back from the most demoralizing regular season losses in the McDermott era is pointing out that we didn't bounce back from playoff losses? In the regular season you play the next week (or the following one if on the bye). Not the case in the postseason. How do you define "bouncing back" from playoff losses?

Every thread will eventually turn to this. It's this message boards Godwin's Law until he's canned or wins a Super Bowl.

Minor difference circumstances in a dome against a poor defense but this is why...

It was a stopped clock.

Not with that attitude. The Bills have had many demoralizing regular season losses under McDermott (Hail Murray, Wind Game, Sun Game, Minnesota home game last year, Tampa game in OT, Titans MNF slip, etc.). They came back EVERY time.

Tall task but it's not like the Bills are foreign to winning streaks in the regular season under McDermott. I wouldn't have made this thread if I hadn't seen them do it before.

Ladifrickinda. I refuse to have to pick before 10:30 like those other plebs. We're going to the playoffs.

If we beat KC our heads will start to spin and think it's possible. Cowboys aren't the same team on the road. I don't see Allen losing a prime time game in a dome against a Charger team that is even worse than us in terms of late game management. The Patriots will be like our second meeting with the Jets. The Dolphins game will be a challenge but we may have their number mentally. The Bills team and fans have been through the wringer this year and winning out will just make it that much sweeter.

Mark it down right now. This team is going to the playoffs (edited - Super Bowl). We're going to run the table and finish 11-6. Too much adversity has hit this team over the last four years for it not to happen. The negativity they'll hear the next two weeks will spring this team like it did in 2021 in a very similar game in Tampa. It's always darkest before the dawn. Edited: Updated: We're going to win out and make Super Bowl.

Well. That's a good omen. I think.

Pats Giants may be the loser gets Caleb Williams game.

Alright. They convinced me. I'm going to do my 1/11th (or 1/12th?) and chug raw eggs tomorrow morning.

Not being able to count to 11 and Josh throwing three completed passes to Jordan Whitehead is the difference between 8-3 and 6-5.

I would've liked some kind of explanation of why the Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal given the gravity of this case nation wide.

He's RB#4 on the depth chart. Just pretend he's an UFA and not a former first round pick. I doubt it. Pry just a Special Teams replacement for Rapp.

The Eagles are the better team because they don't have as many injuries as us. However, the Bills are the more desperate team and I think they can match them in the trenches as it's the only place we're relatively healthy on both sides of the ball. I see a game that goes down to the wire and the homer in me will take the Bills 27 Eagles 24

It's sad seeing a once great athlete struggle. However, I don't even think you should dress him at this point and I'm usually a glass half full guy. Roll with Floyd, Rousseau, Lawson, and Epenesa. I trust them more both in the pass rush and containing the edge (especially against a QB like Hurts).

Jets defensive seems deflated for some odd reason.

Buy: Ed Oliver. Guy is playing out of his mind and that contract many of us begrudged looks like a bargain. Sell: Von Miller. He's washed. It's not his fault but he's a liability out there right now. Hold: Joe Brady. It's just one game.
