Lol it’s all good my point was more did his play justify his contract for next year. At this point it has I eat that. The defense in general since NYJ has been far better. John Brown I worry they let go because of his contract and the cap next year My worst take to date excluding not wanting Allen is saying we weren’t getting Diggs and literally two days later he got traded to us haha

Goes both ways on Arians and Brady. Watching their games at times Brady is failing when it comes to making some plays and throws to the point I can't believe he has thrown the ball on some INTs because it was such a poor read. But Arians runs a vertical passing game and has not adjusted the scheme enough at times to help Brady either. I have thought adding AB was too much as they had plenty of good targets before hand and seemed to click fine. Tampa is really hard to read on where they will finish because the potential is there to be in the SB and the potential is there that they could flame out at 9-7 and miss the playoffs.

The problem is people look at KC with Mahomes which was instant success or Payton in NOLA or even BB in NE. What they fail to recognize is Mahomes walked into a winning team with an amazing HC whose offensive mind is perhaps the best in the sport, Payton in NOLA got gifted Brees for free and their roster had talent, and BB got Brady and that was that (plus Pats had been relatively successful for years by that point). If the Detroit Lions did the exact same thing people would be worshipping their coach. That is how bad things were in Buffalo and irrelevant the team had become which people have now forgot. Like you said it isn't a finished product but in a sense thats the best part knowing the best is still to come.

I try to avoid non sense like this but I'm replying on this occasion because I have seen a few of these. People undersell how mammoth a task McD & Beane had when they entered in 2017. When they took over the team: -17 year playoff drought which had turned into a major weight in itself on the team -roster that had major cap issues -reputation nationally as a franchise that couldn't get it right and players avoided -QB in Taylor who was a bridge QB with no actual franchise QB in the wings Within four years they've done the following: -ended playoff drought -made playoffs in 2 of 3 years and most likely 3 of 4 years -will probably win first division title in 25 years -found and developed franchise QB -have become a franchise players will go to. No way Diggs comes to Buffalo prior to McD, maybe year 1 of Rex but I still doubt it without overpaying him the way they did McCoy -Reputation league wide is the Bills are a strong organization that teams should model rebuilding What has been done in the last 4 years is beyond commendable at this point. If 4 years from now they lack playoff success etc... sure start to say McD can't get it done. But the Bills literally just opened their window for winning and McD is the big reason for that.

It is interesting because the Bills said after the loss to the Texans they wanted to find ways to close better and part of the reason they got Diggs was to add that explosive element, yet much this season has been playing with fire at points. That said the game to me was never in doubt once they went up 24-6 and I was fine with that. The offense looked good at times and other times like it couldn't kick into gear. I wonder if part of that is because they were trying to get the run game going which it did by the end. My biggest issue yesterday was Dabolls play calling at times. This season I have felt he has done an excellent job of maxmizing down and distance with good creative calls, yet whether it be penalties, mistakes, etc.. things happened like Allen losing yards on a QB sweep to the side. I know Bosa came in off a missed block, but with how well they have passed to Diggs or Beasley on 3rd and short it was kinda mind blowing they didn't call a quick pass there.

They typically use the reds in December as they "winter heat" jersey. My guess is vs the Steelers

Allen is to the point when I think of QBs I expect to tie/win a game with a final drive he is included now with Rodgers, Wilson, Mahomes, Big Ben. That is about the biggest compliment you can give a QB and I would not have said that going into this year. He is legit now.

Can someone explain to me how the heck the Bills went 13 years (85 to 98) without playing San Diego? What the heck kind of scheduling was that lol

Texans v Colts (pre season that made sense) Jets v Rams (only storyline is Jets push for 0-16, but LA and NYC TV markets) Lions v Titans (maybe the only game where both teams could be .500 or higher but its the Lions your relying on to get there) Panthers v Packers (I got nothing, maybe Rodgers to watch?) My guess is Panthers v Packers and Jets v Rams go to Sunday and the NFL prays the other three games have playoff implications

I hear ya but take a look at the other four games and Buffalo v DEN is in the Top 3 of games likeability wise. Also there is a small possibility DEN is "in the hunt" which they can market the game as a playoff chase thing.

Part of that is because under McD prior to this year they played a total five prime time games: 2017: TNF Jets L 2018: MNF home Pats L 2019: Thanksgiving DAL W SNF Steelers W Saturday Night Pats L Overall 2-3 going into this year so not much really to go off of and before that they had won two primetime games this last decade, Dolphins 2012 and Jets 2015. So I understand mentally anytime at night always felt like a disaster. Whoops thanks that was suppose to be KC/VEG

Yea the Titans game between injuries, the constant adjustments, and the Titans being rested and hyper pissed now just looks like more a perfect storm then a real indictment of the Bills.

Fans of 1pm Sunday games enjoy this upcoming Chargers game because after that the Bills will most likely have four consecutive games at odd times. After LA we have MNF 49ers, SNF Steelers, probably Saturday at DEN, and then MNF Pats. I have been a fan of a few not 1pm games like maybe four in a season sprinkled one per month so this is going to be different haha. Also next year don't expect a massive return to 1pm games with the Bills now a team that gets night games and the following popular teams on docket: -NOLA -TB -KC/VEG -IND -BAL or PIT That doesn't include the up and coming Dolphins or Jets most likely led by T-Law. At times I have believed the drought spoiled us in the sense of we almost always had 13-14 1 pm games because the team was garbage. I am thrilled the Bills are back to being a good team, but I am also expecting many more years like this where we have a lot of games non 1 pm. I swear to god no Tuesday games ever again though lol

I'll vote for Yannick haha

02 opener was a gut punch as it was suppose to be the start of a new era and the energy was wild. Bledsoe ties the game at the end and then poof stunned at the start of OT. Here are some other killer openers besides the ones you listed: 09 MNF Pats 12 Jets blowout loss which Mario and crew look like dog crap 13 Patriots last second FG 18 Ravens demolish Bills and the season ends by the end of the 1st half

Back in 2009 with the MNF loss to NE or the 2010 Steelers Stevie drop neither loss meant much standings wise, but when your team is crap you are looking for any semblance of hope. Either of those games turned into a W means some hope or legitimacy nationally, but the way they blew those games made the Bills bigger punching bags then had they just lost in a boring fashion. No fan wants to feel like your their to take the punches and its a 1000% times worse when its in spectacular fashion. So I get the mindset of realistically who cares standings wise, but the flipside is life as a fan and it can really suck when the chips are down.

Just my opinion, but I am going off of heartache and overall WTF value. The Pats SNF 2007 wasn't a stunner nor was the 6-3 Browns game, but it was the type that scar'd you as a fan. For me this game is up there because of that. In terms of actual importance hopefully it isn't much and 04 Steelers, 99 Music City, or last years Texans playoff loss were certainly more seismic. For some fans yesterday was great game oh well, for me being 32 with the drought being my life it was like relieving the worst moments all at once including blowing a 14 pt lead on the road, bad INTs, climaxing with the team getting the lead only to lose it in the most unreal possible. Knowing I have weeks of seeing that play on repeat, the team doesnt play for two weeks so it just sits as their last moment is an extra kick in the gut. Will they be fine? Probably and for me its just because even with Allen having probably his second worst game of the season, I never doubted he would score when he had the ball at the end.

I didn't say the season is over and fire everyone... i did that on twitter last night as I calmed down lol. My point is they are a decent to good team, they have opportunity but they haven't won anything and the time is now. Games like this can comeback and be the reason you don't win the division or your playing BAL instead of IND. I'd say that is a pretty optimistic way to view things but also real because the expectations are higher. Last year was about taking the step of being a regular playoff team and moral wins, this year I want them to take the next step to being a contender and that isn't easy either. The best thing about the season is I have zero doubt if Josh has the ball at the end he can win the game late, that is a security blanket you can't replicate.

I am past the point of moral victories and "its nice we were toe to toe". We are in year 3 with Allen the expectations need to be higher, year 2 was about being close, now its about winning consistently in big moments. Some might say that is unrealistic, but the goal is to win at this point and the clock is ticking on contracts etc... there is no time anymore for close moral losses.

Lol I have been told similar, yesterday I just shelled up and stopped talking once that happened I didn't even know what to say.

As I said at the top I am 32 and was 1 and 1/2 years old.. don't remember it, this is based off what I have seen. If I saw 25 or Harmon def would be at the top. Saw it and Everett happened which may be why I don't ever list it or it didn't feel as bad. At that point football was secondary.

It was a great play by Hopkins, my two complaints by the Bills are bat/swat the ball and you shouldve had G Davis back there or another WR. Even with that not sure how sizable the difference is.

I use to try to avoid all football coverage after bad losses, but now its therapy to wash it away.

I think I am in the 4th stage of depression which is acceptance, either way I am trying to wash yesterday as quickly as possible and some of that is revisiting the crappy past and laughing. Cardinals game successfully broke itself onto my worst list which I have below: Worst losses: 1. 04 Steelers 2. 07 Cowboys 3. 99 Music City 4. 20 Cardinals (new addition yay lol) 5. 09 Patriots 6. 10 Steelers (dammit Stevie) 7. 07 Patriots (SNF) 8. 19 Texans 9. 08 Browns (wide left) 10. 09 Browns 6-3 I am 32 so I do not remember the SBs or 89 Harmon drop etc.. just what I have seen.

He did also make a great block on an Allen scramble for 10 I believe
