  1. If we play the steeler it will be close and ugly. We always seem to play down to the opponents level recently. that’s if we even get in. will be so frustrating if we don’t as we will absolutely be better than some of the teams in the playoffs but will only have ourselves to blame for missing out
  2. The enigma that is Sean McDermott… Key Facts in his favour : Best win % of any bills coach in history, including Levy, Saban. More wins than any Bills coach in history, bar Levy Broke the playoff drought and has had us there continuously in all but one season Key Question marks against him: Gifted a generational QB and is yet to take him beyond the AFCCG. Would another coach have gotten more from Josh Allen? Some inexplicable, avoidable losses in key moments. Surely he has to take responsibility for some of these? Especially 13 seconds… Has he hit his ceiling as a coach? Does he have the balls and the skill to coach this team past it’s level? I don’t have a strong opinion either way. I’d be interested to know from those who followed the Bills in the superbowls era - was everyone united around Marv Levy or did he come in for criticism for not getting the Bills over the line? Perhaps back then the fans didn’t have the same voice as they do now with social media and internet forums! FWIW I appreciate McDermott the man. He has a dignity and calmness about him - he’s not a show pony or crazy egomaniac. But I do wonder sometimes if he’s missing that little bit of x-factor or mystique that the great coaches have. Biggest question for me though is this: if Sean McDermott isn’t the man, then who is? Who will take us to the promised land?
  3. How sure are we at this point that Greg Brady is the answer?
  4. Been a Bills fan for 16 years and I appreciate that makes me still a baby in terms of what people have gone through. This season has felt like the one of the wildest so far in terms of just never being sure of quite what we are. We seem to have gone from Super Bowl contenders to utter deadbeats from week to week. After every disappointing defeat, we’ve gone and won our next game. And each time we get our acts together and look like possibly Super Bowl contenders, we drop our level in the next game and look like a team that don’t even deserve the playoffs. We’ve thrashed some excellent teams and lost to some absolute dirt. We’ve blown teams out and lost (and occasionally won) impossibly close games on key moments. We’ve had massive injuries, a trip to London, beaten the reigning Super Bowl champs in their stadium and been beaten by the worst Patriots team in decades. We’ve had an OC change, our HC splitting the fan base down the middle, our best WR causing disruption, and our awesome QB balancing improbable TD numbers with league-leading turnovers. Is it just recency bias or does this season feel improbably crazy to people?! Would love to hear about other crazy seasons that compare or even beat this one!
  5. Merry Christmas Bills Mafia! feels weird to be starting Christmas morning here in the UK by celebrating a Pats win!
  6. Whenever everyone piles on about how good we are we seem to believe it and just assume we’ll win. so frustrating. Still a long time left to go in this game though. We’re easily good enough to turn this around. But need to get our acts together
  7. Missing tackles and committing penalties. Stuff we didn’t do last week. come on boys. Wake up
  8. Well done Rudolph comet the hour, comet the man
  9. Bengals really should try blitzen…
  10. Chargers feels like a classic banana skin game. Everything about it screams that we should wipe the floor with them. Hope we just get it done!
  11. Great to meet you all and thanks so much to @BritBillfor organising. back at our Airbnb in time to watch Everton on match of the day!
  12. Milano needs to be careful in this game. I reckon EB is going to cook up some stuff to try and negate him as much as possible. Heed the advice, Matt....keep your friends close, but keep Bieniemy even close
  13. Apologies if it's been said already - just waking up here in the UK and getting my head around the highlights and box score. But we had 41 pass attempts and only 22 rush (6 of which were by Josh) but we averaged 4.4 ypc. Josh threw 3 picks. Is it fair to say we might have been better with a more balanced attack? Or am I over-simplfying it? Haven't see the full game. Also, getting a bit tired of us relying on Diggs for 40-50% of our total receiving yards and no-one else getting more than 30-60 each week. It's not sustainable - and it's not really necessary either.
  14. It's a street which is absolutely full of curry houses. Remarkably, pretty much every single one has won an award.
  15. Update - staying in Wood Green on the Saturday. Easy reach of Tottenham itself and a fair few pubs around. If anyone is up for a few pints on the Saturday evening it'd be great to say hi!
  16. Has Justin Shorter featured much/at all at camp so far?
  17. Is there any sense on where lots of bills fans will be congregating on the Saturday night for drinks etc? will be coming down from Liverpool in the afternoon and would love to meet some of you good people!
  18. Me and my fellow scouse Bills buddy managed to get two tickets - sat nowhere near each other! But we’ll be there and will probably make a weekend of it and come and see where the party is! kudos my my mate who was 150k in the queue and was teaching a class when he finally got let in. He hastily handed the lesson over to a student teacher and sorted the tickets!
  19. Each to their own! Must just be me, then!
  20. Might be a British/American humour thing, but I find him likeable but not particularly funny at all. Actually that's unfair - I find his reaction skit videos unfunny in particular.
  21. I like Local Hero but it’s no Z-Cars.
  22. Von Miller...Deandre Hopkins...Calais Campbell.... The Bills are really going for it and this could well be our superbowl window! Unfortunately for us, it's Superbowl 50....
  23. He's one of those guys you can trust. You need a yard? He'll get you a yard. You need 2 yards? He'll get you a yard
  24. I did say the patriots were “dominant” and the bills are only “good”….
