The Bills Blog

Any given Sunday, but no

The Patriots are practicing outside all week. The Bills are practicing inside. It will be 0° for the game on Saturday. I'm sorry, but I find this obviously problematic.

They are all very tough matchups. Very tough. I don't know how to pick one over another (discounting KC, of course, and MIA and LV, who won't make the playoffs).

I think we typically wear these in the home game nearest to Christmas (before Christmas). Could be wrong

Their one starting CB will be back. Haden may also be back; depends on concussion protocol

There's no phrase I hate more than "wide-*ss open," but yet I feel compelled to utter it here.

This is shockingly bad Exactly my thoughts. He doesn't get to say things like this with the money he makes and in the position he's in. It's not a bad game. It's a major trend since his injury last year. It seems he would have had enough time to work through that. And of course we've all had bad days. But if we're worth our salt, we suck it up and perform in spite of our sickness, mental or physical.

Does this mean that MIA is going to wear their teal throwbacks?

Great thread and poll

This question was strange. But, in general, I support "tough" questions. McDermott, while not outwardly reacting too much, has shown some signs of having thin skin with respect to media relations. Whether it's his rescheduling of his weekly WGR appearance to (seemingly) avoid Schopp after some of their encounters last year, the attempt to avoid issuing a press pass to Sullivan at his new outfit (who knows if McD was involved in this or not), or McD's subtle frustration that you pick up on when Sully asks questions.

I really do think we'll finish 10-6. I think we'll get the next two, the Jets, and one of those nasty four.

Everyone is clamoring for this, and then they'll be clamoring for them to pull things back once Josh throws some more INTs.

Great response from Gore!

As in pick-sixes and fumble returns? ?

His record is now 6-5 in games he's started and finished; it might be 7-5 had be been able to see the Texans game to completion. Soon to be 7-5 for real and hopefully preserve a winning record for the rest of his career!

Obviously this is a joke, but I think it's more likely than not that he'll come back. The Patriots will literally do whatever it takes to get that last SB. I think this is it for them. That's why it will be so glorious when they fail in the AFC Championship Game, preserving the Bills' record four straight Super Bowl appearances in the process.

You're crazy. ?

I'm just not sure how much home field matters. The pressure to perform at home is a real thing.

Familiarity usually causes tight games between division foes, but furthermore, the Bills defense has been practicing against a version of the New England offense for a long time. Add in the fact that last year's Patriots games were decently competitive (before the Bills' talent influx and the growth of JA), and I think signs point to the Bills games being the toughest of the year for the Patriots. I'm looking forward to them. The Patriots MIGHT beat us twice and might go 16-0, but I don't think they'll beat us three times. ??

Fresh of breath air!

I think the defensive rankings should first be based on points allowed, and points allowed while the offense is on the field (10 last week) should be removed. So, the Bills should be called the #3 defense right now.

Really interesting how Frazier said we were top 5 in this last year and it seemed like he wanted to emphasize that fact. When you think about it, it's an easy and interesting stat to track; no reason players/teams shouldn't get credit for this not quite on the level of sacks but almost. Maybe this will start becoming a thing.

This was known, but the reasoning for it is not. What's interesting is that I've never heard Tony pick the Bills once; he always picks the other team regardless of who it is. One of those strangely anti-Buffalo people it seems.

WOW. The bottom clip shows how egregious it was because the ball is gone and Anderson is nowhere near Allen. I don't have Twitter, but those who do should do what they can to get this picked up nationally.
