Back during the drought, I would've killed for a 14 team playoff, 7 from each conference. But now? I HATE IT! 😅 Of course, the first year it was implemented was the first year the Bills were the 2 seed (2020), so no BYE for us! And that's come back to hurt us several times. In 2022 when we were in the 1 spot the entire 2nd half of the season & controlled our own destiny (until the Damar game), and again last year when we snatched the 2 seed away from the Dolphins. We're always soooo close to that 1 seed, yet we come up just short.

Has bringing back an old, previously successful coach for a franchise ever helped a team win a SB? The Raiders brought back Art Shell, then fired him after a year. The Raiders also brought back Jon Gruden, but he accomplished nothing. The Colts brought back Ted Marchibroda, and he got them to the playoffs once (all the way to the AFCCG) & was done after that. The Redskins brought back Joe Gibbs, and he at least got them to the playoffs twice, but the other 2 seasons finished last in the division. During the drought, the Bills brought back Marv as a GM, and I remember a LOT of people on the old BBMB were hoping he'd come back to coach (thankfully, he didn't). I'm sure there are others, but I can't think of anyone who actually had more success in their 2nd run than in their first.

The end of an error, I mean era.

Flexing games to a different time slot within the same day is fine. Flexing them to a different date, now during weekdays? Absolutely not. You just screwed over thousands of people who already bought tickets for that game or made travel plans for a different date. But hey, at least Amazon's ratings will be better!

So Josh Allen & Dalton Kincaid are women dressed as Han Solo? That explains why I'm so attracted to them. I knew I wasn't gay!

I'd like to come out as a sci-fi nerd. I like Star Trek, Dune, Foundation, The Expanse, From, Fringe, Silo, Person of Interest, etc. Don't judge me, I swear I only think about Captain Picard & Captain Sisko at least twice a day!

When it's 4th & short, especially on the opponent's side of the field, it almost always makes sense to go for it when Allen is your QB. If it's 4th & inches, he can sneak up the middle or get a tush-push. If it's 4th & a couple yards, he can scramble long enough to find an open man or get the yards himself. He's big enough to take the hit & plow over someone if necessary, and he's just fast enough that he can out run a lot of defenders, especially if they're not coming from a great angle. What hurts us is going for it on 4th down where we take it out of Allen's hands (like the fake punt to Damar). And this is just speculation, but I doubt the Bills practice these types of trick plays & gadget plays nearly as much as a team like KC does. So when it comes to execute in a game, it's more likely to go wrong.

I HATE The Athletic! They're charging me $10 a month for over a year, despite not having a subscription with them! I've logged in to every email I've ever used, and they all say I don't have a subscription. Yet once a month, there's that damn Athletic charge! Conveniently, you can't call them, and if you email them to complain, they just give you an automated response about "no refunds." I don't want a refund, I want you to stop billing me! 🤬

Sir, have you been drinking & typing again?

I know, it's super weird. And I thought he'd immediately revert back after this weekend, but instead he's making the rounds gloating about how right he was on the Bills. Just saw his podcast where he said the Bills are the team he'd least like to see in the playoffs, so maybe he's going to stick it out. But either way, he definitely doesn't like the "Lamar for MVP" stuff. It probably has to do with not wanting Lamar to have more MVPs than Mahomes, but he's been saying Lamar's overrated all year 😅

I agree with that, but the most of the media (with the exception of Nick Wright) seems to be ready to give the crown back to Lamar the second they start stringing together wins again. And if not him, the Lions are everyone's 2nd favorite team right now, so I could definitely see a scenario where Goff gets the MVP if the Lions keep steamrolling people & the Bills lose a couple more games.

I'm not sure about this part. If he keeps playing like he has the past few weeks, the numbers won't be good enough for voters unless the team keeps winning. He's got 23 total TDs, but his INTs are ramping up while the TDs are coming along at the same rate. If the Bills win out, then voters might overlook that. But if they drop a couple more games, Allen's numbers are going to need to be a lot more impressive to win MVP

If we beat the Lions, it'll change all my expectations of this season. Despite being 9-2, I still can't quite accept that they're genuine SB contenders. Call it being a lifetime Bills fan, always waiting for the other shoe to drop, but I've mainly been hoping to see Allen win an MVP & beat KC in the playoffs. Super Bowl hasn't been something I truly thought was possible this season, but a win over the Lions & the Chiefs would certainly change that.

If we can afford it, absolutely. If not, the Bills should keep stocking up on those late round picks, as they can clearly find good value later than rounds 1 & 2.
