Soo many guys I love on this team. Besides the obvious JA, I gotta say that I ❤️ Smoke. His whole schtick, soft spoke spoken, hard working, producing. That block on JA's TD run in Dallas.. c'mon... He's definitely my man crush atm. I really liked someone posted Feliciano too... Go Bills!

AB has upstaged the NFL plenty enough this season already. There's no way Goodell let's him back in before the playoffs to remind everyone of his lingering sexual assault charges. Not gonna happen.

I was worried out of the gate with the 2x penalties to Tre White early. It felt like they were sending him a message; "Hands of Amari" A satisfying win for sure.

My wife still likes to joke that when we were dating, I asked her to never call me during a Bills game. lol She has since said she'll put it on my grave. "Here lies a Bills Fan"

It's great and a little bit funny. Everybody knows, the in-laws, siblings and families, they're all coming over and everybody knows. Bills. I've quietly been telling them all how much I love this team. Top to bottom, soft spoken humble guys that are easy to root for. They have a good team vibe and some young guys that are playing well... upside.... playoffs etc... Thanksgiving! Go Bills!

A subtle reminder to my wife that it's a 4:30 game is all that needed to be said. She sent out the play call from there and the rest of the team, err family will execute. We'll be fattened up with a solid base before kickoff. I'm pretty fired up for this game, I can't wait!

I prefer the white on white or the blue shirts on white pants. Anything but the reds imho. ⛔

I believe that's exactly what he said, Hank taught him the importance of taking care of his body.

Bruce Smith was on OBD last (?) week and recalled Hank having a positive impact on him.

Another way to look at is, one has a Job in the NFL and the other one doesn't.

It's not about what he's done in the past, it's what he can do now. Last I knew he was recovering from Achilles surgery. I'm not questioning anyones manhood, so don't get your panties in a bunch. I'm just questioning whether or not he can still play football. Showing Peyton Manning highlights wouldn't change the fact that he's no longer a viable NFL QB. It's just reality.

I cant imagine he'd be more than an older, slower, and more expensive Duke Williams. Pass.

oops, I didnt see it posted. Sorry

https://billswire.usatoday.com/2019/11/04/oddsmakers-records-tossed-aside-as-bills-underdogs-vs-browns/ "You read that right. The Bills, sitting at 6-2 overall and heading to face the 2-6 Cleveland Browns on the road, are underdogs next week. According to BetMGM among other sportsbooks, the Bills opened as three-point underdogs. Some have that moved to 2.5 underdogs, but regardless, that’s a bit of a surprise." Pretty astonishing tbh.

I just hope its not a protracted, in the papers type of affair. I hope he does want to be here, and we can get him back with favorable terms.

We'll see how much he "loves" us when negotiating his next contract ? I hope we can come to terms with him quickly and quietly.

I don't disagree entirely, I'll amend my "space eater" statement to really any other productive DT. Could be either, a space eater or a penetrator, but we need an upgrade for sure. Harry has been playing well (Im not surer he's fits either mold really), but we still need additional help.

Ed would look better if he had a true "space eater" next to him. Star isn't cutting it, despite what Coach and other apologists have said. It'd also help if Trent Murphy wasn't such a waste of space. We've got like 1 or 2 plays out of him in 2 years. I'm not bashing Jerry Hughes, but we could use some more out of him too. DL is still clearly a need on this team, both DT and DE. Jordan Phillips has been playing well at least, we better get him resigned asap.

I am a Buffalo Bills fan through and through. NOT an NFL fan but, a Buffalo Bills fan. If the Bills were to ever leave WNY so would my interest in the overpaid man baby league that is the NFL. That being said my Bills roots run deep... dare I say before birth. It starts with my father. I have family photos from before my memory can recall in full blown Bills regalia. Infant photos in Bills shirts, toddler photos w/ helmets and shoulder pads and even photos from ye old Rockpile w/ the old man. Of course I don't have any memories of this, but photographic proof exists. I remember crying as a child when we traded OJ (in likely was one of the best trades in NFL history 2x 1st's for an old washed up Juice). I remember back to back 2-14 seasons not stopping us from attending games. I remember season tickets during the 90's hayday, I remember Jimbo diving over the goal line to beat Miami in a turning of the tides game in an otherwise meaningless season. In fact some of my best memories in life are associated w/the Buffalo Bills. Games, events, banter, travel, tailgating all of it and soo much more. Oh I probably don't follow every minute detail of every minutia regarding the Bills these days, but I assure you that doesn't lessen the flame. It's really the primary reason I come here is to stay up to date on the latest happenings. Some of you guys here are great at keeping us up to date (Many thanks). Over the years my fandom has sort of been the joke of the family (In-laws are from Steeler Country). They joke about me never missing a game, or how Id delay my own funeral to watch the end of the game, my eternal optimism, all the jerseys I have of players no longer here etc. (Dareus, Alonso, McCoy, Watkins, Taylor) are a few recent ones that come to mind. None of this dampens my love of Buffalo Bills football and I don't expect it ever will. Thats my fandom in short. Go Bills!

Pretty good article from Yoohoo explaining the pros of putting him on IR. Basicly instead of allowing him to be a free agent they can make him clear waivers and get draft compensation. https://sports.yahoo.com/looking-answers-why-patriots-didnt-152403021.html "While we're all still scratching our heads as to why the Patriots would part ways with a capable player who plays a position they've desperately been trying to fill for the last couple of seasons, let's get into some of the bookkeeping associated with the move. Placing Josh Gordon on injured reserve . . . 1) . . . DOESN'T END HIS SEASON It ends his season with the Patriots, in all likelihood. They've already used one of their return-from-IR designations on receiver N'Keal Harry and the other seems ticketed for left tackle Isaiah Wynn. Gordon would technically be eligible to return after eight weeks if he was coming back from a serious injury. But based on his reaction to the move Wednesday night, and based on the fact that he was out at Wednesday afternoon's walkthrough, his injury isn't so serious that it would require an eight-week absence. Players on IR with minor injuries must be released when healthy. So while he won't be back with the Patriots, odds are he'll be playing somewhere for someone else in due time. CURRAN: With offensive personnel, Pats are just winging it 2) . . . FREES UP A ROSTER SPOT FOR MOHAMED SANU Mohamed Sanu is a different player than Gordon, as we pointed out in our initial reaction to the Gordon IR move Wednesday night. So in terms of the on-the-field impact, this isn't a one-for-one swap. But as far as the roster goes, it can be thought of in those terms. The Patriots needed a freed-up slot on their 53-man roster after trading a second-round pick to the Falcons for Sanu. Initially it looked like the Patriots would be clearing a spot for Sanu by releasing Eric Tomlinson. The team announced that it was releasing Tomlinson midday Wednesday. But that swap never became official. Instead it was Gordon who was plucked from the roster and placed on IR to make room for Sanu. Tomlinson remains on the team. 3) . . . MAY PREVENT GORDON FROM LANDING WITH A CONTENDER Even if Gordon spends just one week on IR, that benefits the Patriots. How? Consider his move to IR a delayed release. Had the Patriots simply released him on Wednesday to clear a spot for Sanu, Gordon would've become a free agent and eligible to sign with any team. The Patriots probably wouldn't want that to happen and then see him land with a playoff contender. By placing him on IR, they can keep him from the free-agent market. If he's released off of IR after the Oct. 29 trade deadline, he (like all players, even veterans, who are released after the deadline) would have to go through the waiver process. That means Gordon would not be free to sign with a team of his choosing. The waiver priority list is based on club records, meaning teams at the bottom of the standings and out of contention would first have a crack at Gordon. What's next for Josh Gordon? 4) . . . COULD LAND A REBUILDING TEAM A DRAFT PICK Why, you might be asking yourself, would a team like the Dolphins or the Bengals care about plucking Gordon off of waivers? The answer is simple enough: draft capital. Because Gordon is eligible to hit free agency this offseason, he's eligible to qualify for the league's compensatory pick formula. If the Dolphins claim him on waivers and keep him for the season, they could let him walk this offseason, watch him sign elsewhere, and they may end up with a 2021 pick as a result. Even if it's a Day 3 selection, a half-season of Gordon (and his salary) would be worth it for a team at the bottom of the league and looking to rebuild through the draft. 5) . . . MAY END UP GIVING THE PATRIOTS SOME CAP RELIEF Notice in the previous graph I pointed out that any team that claims him on waivers would also be claiming his contract. Gordon was a restricted free agent last offseason and signed his one-year tender with the Patriots for $2.025 million. Had he been released on Wednesday to create room for Sanu, the Patriots likely would've been on the hook to pay the rest of that salary for 2019, according to OverTheCap.com's Jason Fitzgerald. If, by releasing him off of IR following the trade deadline, Gordon gets claimed, then whichever team claims him will also claim the approximately $1 million on salary (and cap space) left on his contract for this season. That's nothing for a team like the Dolphins, for instance, who have about $28 million in cap space right now. But for the Patriots - who are tight up against the cap thanks in part to the money committed to Antonio Brown earlier this year - that money would serve as some slight relief. They're looking for relief where they can get it, it seems. The Patriots restructured Shaq Mason's contract this week to free up just over $1 million, according to ESPN. They could also try to extend players like Kyle Van Noy, Dont'a Hightower and Devin McCourty for further relief. My understanding is that they haven't yet reached out to McCourty on an extension to this point. If Bill Belichick and Nick Caserio want to swing any more deals between now and the trade deadline, or if they want to sign any additional free agents as the season goes on, they'll need some cap breathing room. PERRY: Bennett says 'no love lost' after suspension 6) . . . REMAINS SOMEWHAT OF A HEAD-SCRATCHER Keeping Gordon away from a contender while simultaneously freeing up some cap space and clearing the way for first-round pick N'Keal Harry to contribute makes some sense for the Patriots. But at a position where Belichick and Caserio have been desperately searching for talent for two years now, releasing a player like Gordon - who'd proven himself capable of being a key piece when available, who'd earned trust from Tom Brady - leaves questions unanswered. One injury, particularly to Harry, who missed most of training camp injured, would suddenly give the Patriots a big-body-outside-the-numbers receiving need and ding the overall depth of the wideout group. The team was clearly OK with letting Tomlinson walk about 24 hours ago. Does keeping the tight end-slash-fullback hybrid on the roster clearly represent better value than what Gordon provided? What happened between the team's announcement of Tomlinson's release and Gordon's placement on IR? For a player who has dealt with as much as Gordon has over the course of his life and has previously acknowledged his own issues with being dependable - typically a hallmark of what Belichick wants in his players - one has to wonder if the team simply determined this was a player it no longer wanted to, or couldn't, depend on.

I ❤️ Frank too, he's a HOF lock. I feel like he's one of those guys people rally around. Frank and John Brown have been quiet difference makers this year, they're easy to root for.

That has to be part of the beauty of it, it's wild and flailing which could not be more opposite his personality. I <3'd it!

That had to be one of my favorite touchdown dances I've seen in a long while.We desperately need someone to make a gif of it. I spent some time this AM looking for a gif of it to no avail. It looks like he's been doing the same dance at least since AZ days. I thought it was a thing of beauty and it brought me great joy! All I could find was this sadly
