15-1 is darn impressive. Who beat them again?

Bengals fans are pry pretty pleased right now.

Because I saw how good defenses like the Texans attack us without an outside WR threat and it wasn't pretty.

Hypothetically, let's say we were forced to pick one injury to one of these players to miss the rest of the season. Rousseau, Cook, Benford, Bernard, Cooper, or Dawkins. Which one are you choosing?

I hated the Losman and Manuel pick. Both felt like huge reaches to me. The Allen pick I was more intrigued by but I would've preferred Rosen at the time. Edmunds is pry the one I missed on the most. I thought he'd be an all pro LB. One thing about Cook that I can't really shake is when his agent told Scheffler he was going to play against the Fish. He didn't play and I've never seen that happen before so he obviously has an aggressive agent who's going to want a massive second contract. My guess is Beane will let him walk after next year as I think Cook rightfully will be looking for a huge contract. It may get ugly next off-season but he's still under contract for another year. Maybe there's some incentive based money milestones they can add to the last year of his contract next year.

I thought that question was a year too early. If he threatens to hold out and some team offers you a day two pick you take it this off-season. Ideally, you get the pick for the 2025 draft and not the 2026 one.

He tore his ACL his rookie year and really broke out as a premier runner his third year. He threatened to hold out going into his fourth season and Minnesota extended him. I could easily seeing James Cook taking the same approach this off-season. He doesn't have the wear and tear his brother did or the injury history so it's pry less risky of an extension. It's more a question of do the Bills feel they think paying him is a good allocation of cap money.

His arm wasn't as strong as Marino's and he doesn't have a quicker release. Few have ever come close. To me he's a less robotic Justin Herbert who also had that "it" factor is rookie year.

Completely agree with Singletary. I was just making the point that the only real data point with Beane when it comes to his willingness to give RB's he drafted 2nd contracts was Singletary (and I guess Moss but he was a disappointment from the get go). We just shouldn't assume that because we didn't give Singletary a 2nd contract Beane won't give Cook an extension this off-season. I'd rather he extended guys like Rousseau, Benford, and maybe even Shakir first. I just don't know if Beane/Brady sees it that way. Running harder? What does that even mean? Most player's in their rookie contract have the external motivation of getting that bigger second contract. I remember him having a great day at Miami long before missing the Jets game.

I would never give a RB a 2nd contract personally but I could see Beane and Brady wanting to keep Cook. Beane was in Carolina when they drafted McCaffrey. Brady was in New Orleans when they drafted Kamara. Both dual threats that received second contracts. They could always point to his low volume of carries in college to justify extending him. It really depends on the agent's demands both in terms of dollar amount and length. They didn't extend Singletary though so who knows.

This is definitely at 1:00. Correct? Missing my 5:00 power nap is killing me. Late afternoon games are the devil.

Maybe defense is trying a new tactic of being bad during the regular season and turning it on in the playoffs? The best thing I can say about this defense this year is they've been very good at creating turnovers. Hopefully that carries over to the playoffs. Also, this is pry the first time since 2021 when we'll enter the playoffs regularly healthy on both sides of the ball.

Rattler's due for a pick six.

I know everyone's concerned about my fantasy teams so I feel compelled to tell you that Jacobs just put me in the finals with that TD.

Josh will get left out again. Like last year.

Pry not. That usually goes to a RB or WR. My guess is it will be Barkley.

I don't think the MVP voters are going to look at the all-22. Lol. I just said it was the second worst game of Josh's season because he's been so good this year.

I think if Lamar plays great Christmas day he'll win the MVP. I have no faith in Houston's defense either. It just sucks that Allen played his second worst game of the year at the most inopportune time.

I give Beane credit for some of this as our offensive weapons drafted over the last few years (Kincaid, Shakir, Davis, Cook, Coleman) didn't have any fumble or drop issues coming out of college.

To be locked into the #2 before the Jets game the Chiefs and Texans would have to win on X-mas day. It would surprise me if the Texans beat the Ravens so it's likely we'll have something to play for next Sunday. I think they play all their starters regardless against the Jets as three weeks without game reps isn't ideal going into the playoffs.

I think it was more a natural let down after a pretty brutal four game stretch than it being the Patriots (especially facing a whole new coaching staff and QB compared to last year). The Bills just seemed to lack the energy you usually see them play with and were kind of going through the motions. I think we smoke them in at there place if we're lucky enough to have a shot at the 1 seed at that point.

That was my initial thought. Maybe a less robotic Herbert. We had a similar win against Herbert his rookie year if I recall correctly. He played well but had a crap team around him. I remember coming away thinking the Dolphins scouting staff effed up by picking Tua over him.

I gave up believing in superstitions long ago. If I start believing in them now the Bills won't win another game this season.

Were you alive 23 months ago? Seriously though, they're the only team at least in the AFC that has an elite QB and two elite WR's in the NFL. Their defense, as poor as its been this year, traditionally rises up in the playoffs. If I had an order of preferred teams still in it from first to last it would be Colts, Broncos, Steelers, Dolphins, Chargers, Bengals, Ravens.

Didn't realize how much Curtis Samuel meant to this passing game.
