So what do we want for Christmas? Offensive or defensive line? Tough game but have to move on and start getting ready for the Saints. It will be another battle, for sure.

He's been one of my favorite Bills coordinators EVER. Much respect for Schwartz. Remember when he wanted to fight Harbaugh after a game?

True... the coaches have a LOT of work to do. Fortunately, there is some similar film of the Saints getting stomped by a "bad" Eagles team today.

I'd say Jonathan Taylor led the Colts today. Wentz is a game manager and his job is not to fumble the handoffs. He threw an easy pick in overtime a few weeks ago when they could have beaten the Titans. Colts are a good team, no one needs to go on suicide watch over this.

Haze, just picking, my man. He definitely wasn't clutch before this year... like you, I'm hoping it's just injury-related and not that he's regressing. For all the talk about what we need personnel-wise, the greatest teams have/had pro-bowl tight ends. We HAVE to find ours, I hope it's going to be Knox. Allen needs a lifeline that he can hook up with consistently when the outside protection is tough and you need a quick release. Just don't trade for another Charles Clay please.

Man, you guys are tough! Didn't we just rush him back from a broken hand and surgery?!?

I will always be a Frank Reich fan. Hate to see our boys get beaten like this, but Frank deserves the success. He came up with a solid game plan and got his team ready to play. As many of you have pointed out, the difference in our team and the teams we're being compared to is in the trenches. The Colts have some great talent on the line.

I started typing up a response earlier about Frazier's defenses... even going back to Minnesota, always talented, always ranked, but not what I'd call scary. I wish McDermott was our defensive coordinator, too, to be honest.

Circle the wagons! I'm not writing off this year yet. Our team looks to be going 6-4 and while stumbling at the moment, they are right in the thick of things. There are SEVEN games left to play.

Well if our boys want the division, they know what they have to do. Teams match up and play differently from one week to the next. I just hope our guys are healthy and in position in the last few weeks of the season. We're losing a battle but haven't lost the war of 2021 just yet. Some of the "burn it down" posts are extreme, for sure. You want to go back to 2008? No thanks. I like what they're building in Buffalo. I'm sure we'll see some key positions get addressed when the time comes. In the meantime, you've got to work with what you've got, come up with good game plans, then execute. We've laid some eggs recently... but we were all cheering them like madmen a month ago. Don't burn your Bills gear yet and see how it plays out. Frank Reich is a good coach and the Colts have some serious talent. Remember, they were a playoff team last year too.

Maybe I'm missing something but from what I've seen, vaccinated players are missing time too. As for retirements, be careful what you wish for.

Maybe Coach will start calling the defenses like he did a couple of years ago.

Are they even calling contact anymore? Last week I saw several would-be contact penalties in other games called interference. I'm not on top of the rules changes over the last few years.

The Colts are a good team despite the record, coached by a great coach. If the Bills win, they're going to have to outslug the opponent. Anyone that thought this would be a cake walk for the Bills was dreaming.

The Colts are going down, Gary! Love the avatar.

Amen... Brady was a dink and dunk guy... sound strategy along with run the ball, play good defense, avoid penalties. Same was true for Parcells Giants teams where Belichick grew to fame... Simms threw a lot of "high percentage passes" as I recall... winning formula along with great defense and solid running game. All of those teams had better than average to great tight end play as well.

Does that mean the 2021 version won't need an obscure Tuck Rule call to help them advance?

Seems like there is a week or two every season where most/all of the division winners lose. Bookie Week!

Win some, lose some... this is why folks don't get rich betting football. I think they looked past the Jaguars. Better not make the same mistake with the Jets. I don't care what we looked like today, I wouldn't trade places with a Jagoff fan. Our team isn't as good as some thought... but no one was penciling Tampa Bay in for Super Bowl participant at this point last year. Let's see how they react.

Looking at the scoreboard, this might be Bookie Week.

Divisional games... anything goes. These teams know each other well and I expect a fight every time... Jets, Dolphins, or Patriots.

Win some, lose some... We have a great team and match up well with the Titans. They came out on top... this time. Looong season to go.

This will be another 4th quarter comeback for the kid.

I'll take the sweet and sour of the Josh Allen experience in a SKINNY MINUTE over the previous twenty years of Bills QB play. There's much more sweet than sour anyway... remember, he was a project QB three years ago.
