Great news for the Lions, who are still looking to make the playoffs. The Lions have a potent offense, so they should be able to score some despite the Jests' good D. I doubt that the Jests under Wilson can outscore them.

You said he’s shown nothing as a passer-
My rebuttal: he led the league in TDs passes. Name another Terrible passer that has led the NFL in TD passes. He has most definitely “shown something as a passer”. But make stuff up to suit your agenda.
put him in a heavy passing offense and he’ll fail. Of course he’d fail. He’s not a “great passer”. No one is saying he’s great.
It’s 2023 - it’s not 1978- QBs run now. He just so happens to be the best running qb ever. Putting him in a pass heavy offense would be stupid because it would limit his abilities.
last point- You’re arguing the fact that someone called him a “pretty good qb”- you’re arguing that…..”pretty good qb”. He’s 45-16 as a starter……but he’s not pretty good? More crack. You need it
I will add that Lamar has really improved his passing over his pro career just like Josh Allen has. His passing skills are different from JA's, but he's a decent passer, and one of the top QBs in the NFL.

Absolutely. There's so much more to being a good/great QB than being a great passer, including leadership and decision-making. How many great passers drafted into the NFL have literally fallen on their faces because they never had/mastered the rest of the skills good/great QBs need?

Come on. Lamar is a pretty good QB. I think his W-L record proves that. Could do better in the playoffs, but if I’m the Ravens I am paying him. What other option do they have?
I think that Lamar has proven himself more than just a "pretty good QB", and I think that the only issue that Baltimore has with paying him is the guaranteed money. I think that in the aftermath of the Deshaun Watson deal, Lamar wants it fully guaranteed for x number of years, and Baltimore isn't willing to go that far. I'm not sure if they will compromise over the off season.

In an NFL without a salary cap or if all they were interested in was filling Highmark Stadium and making the playoffs, this would be easy to do, but the Bills play in an NFL with a salary cap, and they aspire to not simply make the Super Bowl but win it They need a defense good enough to stop offenses like the Chiefs, Bengals or Eagles, and the Bills have invested a lot assets to get what they hope is a good enough defense. Despite the losses of Hyde and Miller for the season, other injured defensive players have returned or are getting healthy, and the Bills defense appears to be still improving.
I'm willing to sacrifice some offensive power for a defense that can take the Bills to a Lombardi. I'm a believer in the old adage, "defense wins championships".

Also completely ignored is the Bills have been dealing with Josh Allen's injured elbow, a snow storm that shut down practice for a week, a short week against a Lions team that's playing its best football of the season, and 3 road games in 12 days.
Last week the Bills went ultra conservative offensively against a Patriots team that had no hope of scoring on our defense. This isn't 2020 or College football. The Bills don't need to go for style victories, just victories.
Better question is what AFC playoff team would fair better against Buffalo in those conditions? The answer is outside maybe the Bengals, no one. The Jets are by far the best equipped AFC team to play in those weather conditions and they still lost by 8 points.
IMO, winning close games late in the season is far better preparation for winning in the playoffs than cruising into the playoffs with a string of easy wins that make fans feel great but don't enable a team to develop the mental toughness needed to overcome adversity that surely appears during any run to the Super Bowl.

I agree on keeping Poyer and Edmunds. We don't have to worry about Oliver until 2024 because 2023 is 5th year option. JP is on a two year deal so will be here next year as well. Lawson should be able to be retained relatively cheap I would imagine. The main thing that HAS to be upgraded for Josh is the OL. He's running for his life more often than not, on basically every play. Yes I want another WR, but we HAVE to fix the OL. If it wasn't for Josh's mobility, they would be seen as one of the worst units in the NFL.
Seriously upgrading the OL would solve many of the problems with the offense IMO. It would make all the RBs better. It would enable Allen to have more passing success by giving him more time to throw. I'd like to see the Bills use a first or second round pick on a top quality OLer and at least one other pick in rounds 3-5 on an OLer.

Remember when all 4 teams in that division would make the playoffs. That's why we play the games.
Yeah, back in August and September the Chiefs were supposed to be the weak sister of that division.

So Mayfield is a better player when he plays off instincts.
I guess it makes sense to some. KISS principle.
Watch him play terrible as the playbook is learnt
I think going on instinct and ad-libbing was Mayfield's MO going back to college. I think it was a siginicant part of his success in his rookie season, too. If McVay is smart enough to realize that Baker does best when he has the option to ad-lib and nurtures that, the Rams may have found themselves a QB while scavenging on the NFL waiver wire!

Baker has resurrected Baker of 2017 (Heisman Trophy) and Baker of 2018 (NFL OROY) ... at least for one game.

Amazon changed their music app. They stated that they added music. But they ALSO no longer allow you to play songs, or albums or Playlist without shuffling and them adding songs. In addition you no longer have unlimited skips or the ability to fast forward or rewind. In order to do this you now have to sign up for Amazon music UNLIMITED which is an extra 8.99 a month. It's shameful, like they need any more money.
I've had Amazon Music Unlimited for years so I wondered why I can still do those things.

Sort of sexist I agree.
Not really.
"Bastard" refers to males or females born outside of marriage, although today it's mostly applied to males.
"B word" refers to a female dog but is more commonly applied almost exclusively to women.

RIP, Irene.
I've reached the age where many of my favorite singers/actors are passing on ... not necessarily from drugs/alcohol/accidents but from maladies associated with old age.

Very well said op
I actually like the adversity and the fact we're not blowing out teams still. I think it'll be a blessing in disguise come January.
Shoot it wasn't even a week ago ppl were questioning if we'd even make the playoffs 🤣
This is exactly how I feel. The Bills will be a better team in January for winning tight games in November and December. My sense is that good teams that have to scrap to get into the playoffs or to get high seedings seem to do better in the playoffs that teams that coast in.

Kyler just got picked by Derwin James.

No one has a defender that can match up with him. He’s an even better Gronk
He's also more durable. He hasn't been injured enough to miss many games. Gronk missed a lot of games.

Same old Chargers ... going back to the early 2000s when they were loaded with talent. They made the playoffs then but they never did much in the playoffs. Now, they certainly have good talent but they don't make the playoffs because they continue to find ways to lose games.

Yes, easily.

And Zay Jones is the Hero, who woulda thunk? Guess he’s finally found a “real” QB who can unleash him…..….…
………I still think Trevor Lawrence looks like a horse, though
Lawrence really does have a "horse face"!
I'm watching Red Zone, and they're flipping between KC/Rams and Arizona/Chargers ... and the team colors are almost the same: KC and Arizona in red and Rams and Chargers in gold and blue. It's a bit confusing!

Why did the Jaguars do a squib kick?
Doug Pederson is very fortunate. He nearly caused his team to lose after a miraculous comeback.
I think it was to waste some time. That was the criticism of McDermott last year ... the Bills didn't squib kick against KC in the playoff game. Two or three fewer seconds and the game would have been a Bills win.

For sure, but as fans, you should be able to call out the bad without being crucified.If you come on a Bills fan site and have nothing positive to post, being "crucified" by other posters is the least you should expect. You could easily be suspended or banned by the moderators.
Words have consequences, whether they're spoken or written. Once said or posted, they can't be taken back. That's true if you're in politics or in the media or in business or in a relationship ... or you're a fan of a sports team. "Free speech" guarantees that you can say what you want about the government and the government can't come after you. It doesn't mean that private citizens or businesses or organizations have to accept some horse's ass spouting trash or stupidity without taking action against said horse's ass. If you lie, don't whine when you're called a liar. If you call people vile names, don't cry foul when you get called worse back. If you send disgusting emails to co-workers, don't pretend to be a martyr when you get fired.
If you don't want to be "crucified", then don't spout opinions to people you know won't like them.
I hope the Bills invest heavily into the offensive line this offseason
