The grass is always greener.......................right over the septic tank!

I felt the same. My impression of Matt during his pressers is a guy who goes along with the flow. He doesn't strike me as an innovator. I hesitate bad mouthing the guy from such superficial moments, but I do think with the talent of the STs, they should perform better.

Fans that think Sean McDermott is the best or the worse are not changing their minds very much. Personally, I think he is an above average HC, but that's me. He's got some issues but nothing I believe is a detriment to the organization. I do believe that his "loyalty" runs too deep. I can give a bunch of examples but the most recent (this year) is the Special Teams. Matt Smiley has been with the Bills since 2017. I can only say with the emphasis that Beane and McD give to ST's, IMO he has underperformed. I don't expect to see a change next season. It's an example of what I think is his greatest fault. ST's lost the Jets game and the Broncos game this season. If anyone thinks that a HC's responsibility is to assign players to defend a FG, I can tell you it isn't. I won't even comment on the KC playoff loss. It seems to me that the ST has slowly regressed since Smiley took over in 2022. The funny thing is, if McD attempts to "upgrade" the coordinator job, those wanting him gone will just say he is trying to save his job by swinging the axe.

Everything is setup for Sunday night. I like that. Bills (and fans) will see what results are from the other games. Players getting healthy at the right time helps and some banged up and out Dolphins doesn't hurt. The Bills know the Dolphins well and have a good record against them. Seeing "Prime Time" Josh Allen is all that is needed. It's a great time to be a fan of the Buffalo Bills!

If the Buffalo Bills did what you have proposed, they would be the laughingstock of the entire sports world.

This thread should be locked.

The game is for the AFCE Division Championship. The previous game will be meaningless at the opening kickoff.

Didn't have him prepared for what?

Is everyone breathing now?

This is on everyone on the team!

I'm all "Zen'ed" up!

Let's do this. Go Bills!

We don't know the details. Maybe Joseph tweaked something during warmups, or he is feeling ill. Something for the press to ask after the game. They won't, but they should.

He never left the PS. He was "elevated" for one game only.

IMO it means there are other guys playing better. as of now.

I thought he had a decent chance of clearing. Having him to call up is big.

Agree, though I think he could be valuable tomorrow.

They heard us. RUN.

Fake punt! Wow!

Fumble through the endzone. Glad the rule hasn't changed yet!

Nice. I'm doing my traditional New Year's Eve dinner of Snow Crab and Lobster Tails, Loaded Baked Potato and Mixed Veggies. I just use Garlic Butter and some Mrs. Dash on the tails in the air fryer for 6 minutes.

Venus Di Milo missed the safety.

I used to like Dallas back in the day. When that "America's Team" stuff started I was done.

IMO it is a playoff game if the Division is on the line.

Playoff incentive bonuses are treated like NLTBE and paid after the playoffs. They then are calculated into the following years cap using the Adjustment clause. At the end of the season all LTBE and NLTBE bonuses are added and subtracted to whatever rollover is left. Which means if a player has a LTBE bonus (which is part of the season cap hit) and doesn't earn it, the extra money if rolled over. Opposite if an NLTBE bonus is earned. Spotrac shows the + or - Adjustment ever year. At the start of this year the Bills had $856k added to their cap. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/
