What curse has been placed on this team that we have to suffer 2 more injuries right at the end of the game?!

I'd love that, but the Chiefs DBs have been pretty good covering our receivers downfield. Josh has made some good throws downfield, so hopefully they can find opportunities. He's also missing some easier throws though, so it could be dangerous. If they go conservative, it's obvious they're trying to limit chances for turnovers.

Probably because we're averaging 2.6 YPC. They've been stuffed.

Why is passing on 1st down so difficult for us? Why is Josh suddenly struggling to make good throws? It's still a 1 point game (thanks Bass), but it's just so depressing to watch. I want Josh to win MVP so badly at least once, but every time people see him on national TV he does stuff like this. Now we're back to Josh throwing INTs every game. It's like the beginning of the year was a fluke. We can still win, but I guess I'm just sad to see the regression.

The Lions are absolutely insane right now. It's the 4th time they've put up 40+ points in a game this season. Wow.

That's the setup I want, only with the red helm So beautiful, it brings a tear to my eye. Every other team has multiple alternate jerseys & helmets, yet the Bills refuse to give us this amazing look. If we see the standing buffalo on white helmets again before we get just ONE 90's throwback red helmet game, I'm gonna be so salty!

Pretty sure I saw a stat about Allen & the Bills being pretty terrible throwing on first down. I think they were something like 4 for 11 for like 24 yards & 2 INTs last week. That may be why they tend to run on first down. Not sure why they struggle so much with it, but I like where your head is at!

Probably some let down game, Chiefs 34 Bills 20 Edit: Just realized I was only off by 3 points last week! I predicted Bills 33 Colts 20! So now that I've realized my true powers, I'm going to wish Bills 35 - Chiefs 27 into existence (note: this is to see if I can abuse my prediction powers) 😉

Taron, Dion, Rousseau & Benford. That's it.

Well here's some more great news on that front...

Helps explain why the Chiefs win so many games... You know, aside from just being a really good team. The Bills can't have a typical 'Billsy' game & kill their own drives or extend drives for the Chiefs via penalties. They have to play more disciplined.

Wanna see hell freeze over & watch Nick Wright go to bat for the Bills? He ranks them number 2 in his tiers, then fights off Brou & Mangini saying they should be lower than Detroit & Baltimore -

Interesting article about why Chiefs vs Bills has become a later afternoon game rather than a SNF game - https://amp.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/for-petes-sake/article295385869.html Apparently CBS is guaranteed a certain amount of Chiefs games & a certain amount of Bills games from the NFL schedule makers, so putting them together allows them to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Also, 6 of the 10 highest rated games are Chiefs games, so every Network & service is begging for them. So the NFL has decided to use the Chiefs as the go-to for all their little experiments. Playoff games on Peacock, Black Friday on Prime, Christmas day games, etc. just give em the Chiefs 🤮

If Allen has any shot of supplanting Lamar as the MVP favorite, the Bills NEED to win this week, and Allen NEEDS to play great. After last week's game, he's too far behind Lamar statistically & got blown out in the head to head. But to end the Chiefs' undefeated streak & beat them when the Ravens couldn't? That would carry a lot of weight. Obviously, winning a SB is the priority, but the chances of doing that while losing to the best 3 AFC teams you've played isn't very good. That being said, if we lose, the Bills will be in a very weird position. They'll still have the division locked up, yet have next to no chance of getting the 1 seed unless the Chiefs collapse. At that point, you don't have a ton to play for, so it might just be better to protect key players as much as possible while letting the injured ones heal up until playoff time.

What a wild takeaway after that game... If you want to waste Allen's career, sure, give him nothing but joyrneymen & fringe practice squad fodder to throw to. People complain that the Bills run a lot on first down, but Allen was 4 of 10 for 25 yards with 2 INTs while passing on first down. I wonder if that has anything to do with not having good weapons? Cook was running the ball well, but they took until the 2nd half to really commit to running more. And coincidentally, the offense looked better afterwards! And remember Allen going all those weeks without an INT? Now he's gone 3 straight with one, while matching his yearly total in 1 game yesterday. So if we want to succeed this way, the solution seems to be taking the ball out of Allen's hands & letting Cook/Davis be the primary offensive focus. If that's what you like, then no WR1 needed. But if you want a good passing attack & want Allen to be the primary driver of the offense, you need better weapons.

C'mon... KC has built up equity. That's what happens when you win 3 x Super Bowls, go to 4 of them, and have never finished lower than the AFCCG. The Bills have not proven they're that kind of team. It's natural for fans to be skeptical.

So I could only watch intermittently, could somebody tell me what happened with the 2 Allen INTs? I saw him miss an open Kincaid earlier, but that just killed a potential TD. Was he just off today, or were the receivers at fault like the first 2 INTs this season?

You think they've only missed once? C'mon... Elam has had just as much time in this defense as he ever had in his college defense, so if he can't see the field at this point, it's because he's just not good. Bishop isn't like that. I think the coaching staff likes & feels comfortable with Hamlin, and because of that they're willing to sit on Bishop. But us fans always want to see the high draft picks on the field, especially when there's room to improve at those positions. I'd be happy to see him starting after the bye, but I'm not sure McDermott would do it unless he thought it was a clear upgrade.

But everyone said that about Elam too. I still haven't had to eat my words regarding him. Not saying Bishop is as bad as Elam, but I don't think he's not seeing the field because the coaches want "low risk" and are "playing it safe." I just think he hasn't shown that he's clearly the better option yet, though his time will come.

Wait, Cooper is still out? I know it's bad to look ahead, but at this rate we'll have zero weapons against KC.

That's the problem with the post though. You acknowledge there isn't a better option. So what's the point of bringing up how bad he's been AGAIN? There have been countless posts about that all off season & all throughout the year. Just read the game day threads to see a million more posts complaining about his kicks. So why, after reading countless posts about how inconsistent he's been, why did we need ANOTHER reminder? Nobody has forgotten. Since there's no better option, we all know we're stuck with what we have. Or are you under the impression that he'll magically get better if we complain about him more?

At 7:40 is the best part. Made me actually choke on my coffee thinking those 200 comments were TBD members going after him 😂

Primetime NFL curse - another game the refs blew it at the end.

Burrow looked really good. Those refs blew it right there.

How does that change things? If they kick the XP, there's still "too much time"
