If my grandma had b----, she would be my grandpa. Dream on.

There will probably be technological advances bringing safer helmets, down the line, but irregardless people will go against the risk because it is about the money, and when people say it is not about the money, it is always about the money. It is like the business of the US is business. It is about corporations and companies of all size doing what they can to make more profits. It is about robbing banks, cheating people, drug addicts hitting people over the head to steal a wallet with $10 for a fix, it is about someone with a 35 inch TV wanting a 65 inch set. We could go on and on about people wanting better homes, clothes, cars. It is always about the money and there will be very few draft choices give up the money for the risk.

Soccer will not replace football, until idiots are not able to get guns and kill school children. Football is a violent sport, but we live in a violent country.

At 2:31 PM today there was a story written by a Tim Marcin for Newsweek questioning whether this is the end of the NFL, "The end of the NFL?". In it, he lists the usual subjects plus a new one added perhaps for shock, which we will list last. 1. The Ray Rice demestic abuse case. 2. Injuries 3.Kaepernick and the National Anthem. 4. Poor TV ratings. 5. Roger Goodell & deflategate. 6. CTE in deceased players. 7. And the new one, a Sexual Harassement Lawsuit filed in October apparently against a few NFL network people. I believe the NFL will be around long after any of us are around watching and enjoying the game. For one thing, where are young men after coming from college football factories going to make pay that should last a lifetime. And all the auxiliary money going towards office people, stadium people, TV and media people, and on and on. But the big thing is the entertainment and great football we see every weekend like the Steelers, Panthers, Lions, Jaguars, Eagles, and the Snow game that occurred last weekend. It is great performances and maybe heartbreak, but that is NFL football and America's sport is going nowhere.

They were last night. These games are not played by computer or analytics. They are played with humans who for whatever reasons either play with (a lot of) emotion or not, and why it is so hard to go 16-0, and why Vegas makes a fortune from gamblers who think they know the results beforehand.

Somebody must think it means something, as its quoted on every NFL Standings that you see all season long.

Points scored for and against on all NFL 7-6 teams games this year Buffalo -50 Baltimore +72 Kansas City +40 LA Chargers +73 Dallas +22 Detroit + 9 Green Bay -17 Does this mean Baltimore is 122 points better than us. Of course not. But maybe it does. What do you guys think?

Made the point how great and entertaining it was in another thread (Yesterday 12AM) and it was ridiculed by a few people. Sure a game can be great when Big Ben throws for over 500, but this one will stick in the memory bank.

What did Walt Coleman do to you? Take your keys.

Enjoy this one. We beat a bad team, with a Special Team QB, a back up WR, and a FB pretending to be a back up half back. It won't get easier next week. The stakes got higher. Ravens lost in a great game.

I didn't think anyone would mention the play that you did in 6. Spot on. As for 9. I am having trouble with that one. It is hard to believe that McDermott knew what a great throw and catch would be made, to a backup WR. The punt was a poor decision, but the old saying is it is better to be lucky than good. It turned out to be both lucky and good.

The OP was right, even though it turned out okay. What about not having a backup halfback, which some of us were screaming about from game one, or maybe you believe Tolbert is the man. And the QB was basically a special teams guy.

I didn't need any in game threads. It was better to watch the game rather than read what some guy was saying.

If you didn't enjoy this one, why are you even commenting.

You need to go back to comedian school.

This one had everything, including overtime.

That is what I said, having the right players, and that includes the Defense.

If you can't be motivated by knowing if you win out, you should make the post season, then why bother playing the game, and if the Coach is saying trust the process, we have draft choices, then why is he even coaching the game.

Jared Goff who the Bills beat on the road last year, was not very good , and suddenly he gets coaches and players this year to work with, and he may go to the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl. You don't think it has made any difference that he has had Watkins and Woods to throw it to? Sure, Taylor has some limitations, but with the right system, coaches and players he is a NFL QB, and right now he has none of that with the Bills.

I was trying to make the point if we don't beat a inferior dome team at home this week, this franchise has more problems that they can ever solve with this group.

I think the smartest thing said on this thread was just said, and the WRs are the worse in the NFL. Zay Jones one day may be a NFL #1 or #2, but he is not now. We got hosed by Carolina in the Benjamin deal. He was injury prone with them, and has been close to useless so far. You don't fight for a playoff spot and give up a supposed top receiver for a couple of draft picks. If he was going to be so useful so far, are you going to tell me he couldn't be picked up by anyone else. Oh I know, McDermott and Beane were buddies, and they were trying to help out the Bills.

As far as not converting 3rd downs, I am looking at the above first chart and see on passing split by downs, then on the 2nd chart which I am assuming is for the two plus years; Attempts lst Downs 1st Downs 4802 1528 2nd Downs 4417 1504 3rd Downs 3747 1512 So what I am seeing is over 1,000 less passing attempts, the 1st Downs are about equal.

The Bills went into Gillette Stadium in 2016 and handed the Pats their only shut out ever in that Stadium 16-0. Was it Tom Brady they beat? Of course not, it was Jacoby Brissett as Brady was sidelined due to his suspension. As we all know our 6-6 team face the Dome 3-9 Indianapolis Colts with the same Brissett in place of Andrew Luck. This is a game the Bills should win, no matter who is at QB , and it will be a huge disapointment if we do not.

One thing is we are in 3rd and long much more than we should be, and that's on the players and OC. I don't know the number of negative 1st and 2nd down runs this year, but I bet a lot.

I am sure they could be found someplace, there seems to be a stat for everything now.
