There is a difference in that one team dominated those same teams. The Bills had to come from behind in most of the same games. The one question I have is why wait til the Miami game to finally be aggressive with the play calling. The defense blitzed more then they normally do and the offense didn't sit back in the second half. IMO the Bills need to stay aggressive if they are going to make the playoffs. They play teams with winning records and this season they haven't done well against winning teams yet.

Not recently they aren't as successful but so far this season they have played better. Its an improvement and as long as they are battling for a playoff spot all season then I will call it a successful season. Next year they will have some of the bad contracts off the books and will be able to add more. Adding Cozens next season will be a big help.

What is it with you guys and hating hockey?

I disagree that Botts is lazy and sitting on his hands. I think he did a great job in rebuilding the defense this offseason with his trades to get Montour and Miller. Its going to take time to fix this. As far as Okposo goes, there really isn't much they can do about it other then scratch him. No other team will take on his contact unless you give them a draft pick to go with it. Yeah yesterday was a bad game but I think they will do fine. They will challenge for a playoff spot all season and next season I see a big step. Some of these players will be off the books and I expect Thompson and Cozens to be here to fix the offense. I realize most of you are tired of not making the playoffs and want immediate results. Trading guys like Okposo and Sobotka isn't easy cause you either give up draft picks or take on equal salary back. There is no point as odds are those players won't be much better. You all BILLieve in the "TRUST THE PROCESS" for the Bills but yet want instant results for the Sabres.

Its great Allen had a good game but if the Bills want to make the playoffs he needs to play like this the rest of the way. It would go along way to proving he is the guy. Allen is going up against some of the better defenses in the league so I want to see if he can play as good.

I am fine that he doesn't love football. Wish they would talk more about the Sabres. Seems the only time you here them talk about the Sabres is days where they play. I realize most of you have no interest in hockey. I don't know why? Eichel had 5 goals over the weekend and the Sabres went 1-1. All they will talk about is Allen and the Bills.

Don't need a QB change but how about calling plays that fit his strength. Let him use his legs to his advantage. The faster they let him loose and see what they have the better. His short game may have gotten better but his playmaking ability and long ball have regressed. IMO Allen will never be a great pocket passer. He makes his best plays when he rolls out of the pocket and making plays on the run.

Minus the Garrett helmet stuff, I love the brawling. It's nice to see teams show some emotion and hatred for the other team. Hockey is really missing the big hits and fights.

I do see the difference. I was talking more about the brawl between the rest of the players. That's what is missing from hockey and football.

I'm guessing not many of you watch a lot of hockey. I remember when teams played their rivals there would be lots of fights and big hits.

I will agree that what Garrett did was bad and should be suspended. I love the brawl at the end of the game. The hatred towards other teams is what's missing in all sports.

This isn't the Rockpile days where you have years to learn the game. In today's NFL you need to win now. It doesn't take multiple years to rebuild. That's why I never understood why they drafted a project QB. Big Hands and a Rocket arm means nothing these days.

I see the Bills finishing 9-7 at best. Their offense is not good enough to win against good defenses. I see Allen regressing a lot in th second half of the season. If they lose to Miami, I am having doubts the playoffs are going to happen. I think it's going to be Pittsburgh and either Jacksonville or Oakland in that last spot.

It would be a big jump if he even gets to average as the Bills are going to be playing teams that have much better defense then what they have played. Patience can only be for so long, if the Bills fail to make the playoffs by next season I doubt it matters. They will be starting over again.

People do it to make them feel better about Allen. Im starting to think this is what he is.

What's so ridiculous? He is not good enough and he need to improve in a hurry if they are going win games the rest of the way.

One game doesn't make a career but he showed be more improved and he's not. His best game was last year against Miami. Since then he hasn't been as good. He still doesn't read the field well at all. Big hands and a rocket arm doesn't get you far if you can't hit open guys.

Don't be upset when this is his ceiling. A good QB makes guys around him better. He is not even close to that. He still struggles to read a defense which at this point he should be much better at.

He just needs more time. ?. Maybe by year 5 he will be ranked in the upper 20's as a QB. I realize a lot of you are afraid to start over again at QB. Now that the games are on the line against tougher teams I don't see him being much better.

He may not have seen ghosts but he still isn't good enough. Its his 2nd season and he should be having a bigger jump in play but he hasn't.

So let's keep building the defense cause that's the Buffalo way. The defense is good enough if they had an average offense. They need to draft some playmakers on offense over any defense.

Cause I think don't want to believe Allen may not be a good QB. They are afraid of having to start over again at QB. Its great his short game has improved but his reading of a defense hasn't and that should worry people.

I don't need big passing days to show me that a QB isn't good. I'm sorry but to win in this league you have to be able to score with big yardage plays. So far Allen and the offense have yet to show me they can. You aren't going to score much if you need 10 play drives to get down the field.

Food for thought. The Chiefs are leading their division so unless they drop out of first place their record has no bearing on the Bills.

They aren't to worried about an offense that doesn't score with big plays. Its a lot easier to defend an offense that trys to score on 10 plays versus an offense that is explosive and uses a lot of big plays. IMO if the Bills are going to win this game they need to be more aggressive on offense with big yard plays. On defense they need to blitz Mayfield cause if the Bills can't get to Mayfield he will be able to make plays.
