And can you believe we were up 7-0 after Tasker blocked that punt? What a dreadful game. At least Beebe ran down Leon Lett and ruined his celebration. VaMilBill, I agree on those two regular season losses being memorable. During Sunday's game, Romo was talking about how unbelievable it was to give up nine sacks (Cincinnati) and win the game. All I could think was "yeah, like throwing five picks and winning the game". I, too, despise Nick Folk to this day. The McKelvin fumble was VERY memorable as well... especially since it was the Patriots. We HAD it. I never want to see Leodis McKelvin again. I'd also add the loss to the Steelers backups to miss the playoffs back in Bledsoe's day. We didn't just lose, we got beat. Wide right is hands down the worst, but I have to admit... I started my Bills fandom with a heartbreak playoff game followed by four straight Super Bowl losses. After those years, the other losses sucked... but not like those. As you point out, the blowouts were demoralizing while the bookend games were heartbreakers. Everyone in the World wants to re-watch this weekend's game with the exception of some Bills fans (like myself). I tell you what... many of us are seeing the Chefs as this obstacle that will keep us from the Promised Land... but I think their fans, just like the Chowder Heads, can see the writing on the wall... Josh Allen is for real... He's Mahomes in Roethlisberger's body. I'm looking forward to the rematches with them next year. This loss was tough for sure... but I think our Bills are going to get real good at breaking other fans' hearts sooner than later.

Too funny... my wife and I had the same conversation!

I agree with the comparison of Frazier's defense to Dungy's... but we need the front four. I don't think the rest of the defense works without pressure from the guys up front. I'd like to see us get a proven, veteran pass rusher. I wouldn't mind an upgrade at linebacker either. I don't know that Edmunds can QB our defense to greatness. We missed Tre, for sure. Tough loss... an amazing game that will probably get talked about for a while... how many lead changes there in the fourth? I hate the Chefs but they move on. It came down to the coin toss. I will enjoy watching our Bills knock them out of the playoffs next year.

Mahomes does magical things, I agree... but when you consider Allen can match him throw for throw... AND he's built like a linebacker with a cannon for an arm... can truck grown mean when he has to... I'll take Allen. So glad too... he finally helped me move beyond the jealousy of that traded draft pick.

And Gabe Davis. What a show. It's a shame someone had to lose this game. Both teams lit it up.

I thought he had a good game and it made me optimistic for the future. It took Clowney two or three years to impact the game... maybe some of these guys will turn out better than we think.

The Chiefs are all up in their window right now... I think we're still a team with ceiling. Our defense WILL get better. A front four that gets pressure and an upgrade at linebacker are on my wish list. The Chiefs are on top right now but in a year or two, I can see it turning our way. Josh Allen is the QB we have been waiting decades for! He went toe to toe with the almighty Mahomes and only lost because he didn't touch the ball last. It sucks right now but we'll enjoy being on the other side of it sooner than later. That game was pretty damn good... even if I hate how it ended.

They've been holding since it started.

Good comparison!

Before the game started, I told my wife he'd be easy to spot... guy with long hair always chasing the play.

Leave it all on the field boys... thirty minutes left in this heavy weight bout.

Watched the whole thing! Some great memories and a solid reminder that Tasker was a special player, and I echo Hall of Fame special. Blocked punts, amazing tackles, ball hawking, and I always enjoyed seeing him catch passes. Old football is great... those clips also reminded me of a lot of great announcers that I really miss.

The Panthers aren't as bad as some people like to think. They usually play competitive games, even without McCaffrey. How many folks around here have changed their tune on the Colts being a "suck team" yet? Some of us are as bad as the pregame/halftime guys... we look at the standings and think we can accurately gauge a team from their record.

None of the receivers did much to give him a target... looks like everyone just kind of hung out in their spot.

Gilmore's been looking around a lot after plays.

He dropped that short pass in the Championship Game that would have been a first down... but overall, I haven't been disappointed with him.

I'm hoping the whole team started taking steroids at the half.

If I remember correctly, we've seen the Chargers, Ravens, and Patriots game plan to exploit Edmunds in the middle since his arrival... and do it well. He doesn't seem to improve at all.

Funny thing is that was a great wide receiver draft... we've had the two first round lemons play for us, Watkins and Kelvin Benjamin. Odell Beckham, Evans, Brandon Cooks, and Jarvis Landry were all in that group, I believe.

I see upset after upset week in and week out. The playoffs don't start tomorrow. There are seven weeks left to see who's got what. The Bills may indeed flame out but I'm not going to sit here and worry myself sick about it. I've been a Bills fan long enough to appreciate the good times. 6-4 and some of you talk like we haven't won a game. I don't think this team will lose out. For those of you trying to pick the winners from this point forward, you can't just look at records and make up your minds... it seems we had more than a few fans that overlooked the Jaguars and Colts while figuring out when Allen would be declared the MVP and questing for home field. Some of you think the book has now been written on how to stop the Bills. I guess we'll just lose out, right? I don't think it works that way. The last two weeks haven't been fun but I've SEEN McDermott make adjustments... Beane has built the best team we've had to pull for in 30 damn years. The team has a bad month and the season might circle the drain... but I'll not be scolded for being optimistic. This IS the same team that went 4-1 and got the kids dreaming of Super Bowls. Most realistic fans know it's a looong season and lots can happen. I've learned to let it play out... don't get too high or too low. I think people are having trouble reconciling their expectations. So far, the Bills are living up to mine.
