Our defense should go off tonight. There is no way Duck belongs on the same field trying to compete against our defense. Josh Playing well will do a lot towards exercising the demons from the Baltimore game. I am excited for the teams opportunity to show case their skills on Primetime. I trust the process, and I trust the team on the road. GO BILLS!!!

Could happen, but won't happen. Don't forget that the Phins have to go to Gillette. I'd feel a lot better about this if they were playing in Miami.
100%. Weird things happen when the Pats play in South Florida.

what opportunity has yeldon been given and done nothing with it? the patriots struggled to stop him when allen threw it to him in space.
TY has had a total of 10 carries for 45 yards this season. He has 1 fumble in those 10 carries. He also demonstrated fumble issues during the preseason. Although those opportunities have been limited. You have to prove your worth when you get the chance. TY hasn't IMO. Besides TY is nothing more than insurance for our backfield just in case Gore or Motor get hurt.

I have no problem with Gore because of his intangibles to the team. Yeldon has been given opportunity and done nothing with it. Although Singletary is nice, we could not take advantage of outside running yesterday because we did not have the speed on the field.

With the way the winds were in the stadium yesterday and watching Hauschka practice, my confidence wasn't inspired. I would have much rather trusted Allen and co. to get the 2yds for the win.

I was surprised in the 5 reasons listed, not one of them mentioned that it was a home game. The 12th man is going to be bringing it tomorrow. This is the biggest home game in a long time. I expect the energy level in the stands to be off the charts during the game. 3rd downs for Baltimore will be deafening.

God, that kid has an amazing arm.

Consistency is key. What is so exciting is that we are seeing more positives from Allen a lot more consistently.

Maybe Carr doesn't trust the offense because he doesn't understand it. And if you don't know what an offense/defense is ranked don't try to fake it. It makes someone appear uneducated and lazy. Neither trait provides reliability or trust.

I dunno, its not like Peter King is calling Ford a bust at right tackle, at this point. If Ford was actually a turn style, then why not give Bates a chance out there? He is active on game days for a reason.

Alright, I'm not necessarily a huge Watkins fan but the part I highlighted is untrue. The dude does put in the work. When he was in Buffalo he was always part of the group of receivers that'd fly out to meet Tyrod and run routes in their off-time, he's done that in KC as well. He's also had zero issues with any community in the cities he's played. Obviously, he didn't pan out here and that's a bummer but it's not like it's entirely 100% on him, injuries added up over his first few seasons and beyond that I don't think his abilities were maximized while he was here. The injuries, getting traded, being on three different teams within one calendar year, having OC's struggle to find what his best role would be, etc. are all things that have surely steered his career in a direction he probably didn't expect. The decent thing is, is he's still young enough to rebound and turn into the receiver people saw at Clemson.
As for him returning to Buffalo, that's about as likely as me suiting up in place of Allen this Sunday. Chances are slim and none and slim just left town.
It has been well documented that by Whailey giving up so much for Watkins at the draft, it put unfair expectations on him. There has been discussion about Watkins work ethic and the organizations concern, especially regarding his rehab. : http://www.nfl.com/videos/buffalo-bills/0ap3000000828588/Why-did-the-Bills-trade-Sammy-Watkins . Sammy isn't the first player the Bills have drafted that struggled with the fans: https://nypost.com/2015/10/28/bills-sammy-watkins-blasts-loser-fans-doubting-his-health/ . I wish him well and hope he does great things during his time in the league. But he won't ever again be in a Bills uniform and I am perfectly ok with that.

Sammy had an opportunity in Buffalo and he failed miserably. As long as Beane and McDermott are running the show at OBD, Sammy will only ever y be allowed in the visitors locker room. Typically a player drafted as high as Watkins doesn't get traded while still on a rookie deal.
He Isn't a "process" guy, only plays for himself, isn't reliable, doesn't want to evolve his talent. Doesn't want to work, isn't a good fit for the team or the community.
No thanks. I believe we should pass.

I think Ron could come in IF Leslie hits the road at the end of the season, either as a HC (if the opportunity arises) or as an addition to a new coaching staff. But I dunno. This really doesn't surprise me. The Panthers struggled all year despite the effort of McCaffery , and their defense hasn't been good enough. A lot of things can happen between now and next season, I am primarily jacked up for the rest of our season. Lets GO Buffalo!!!

Great observations, talking points and perspective. As a fan I have noticed that we have been missing something on the field, for the past two decades. To some extent it has either been talent or execution. But the Biggest thing is HEART. One of the greatest things about Buffalo is the connection between the fans and players. When the Pegula's bought the team and started marketing "One Buffalo" it became more apparent what the team and Buffalo community were missing. Freddie Jackson and Kyle Williams understood what the team meant to the town, and what the town meant to the team. But they couldn't immediately impact the overall team performance.
It was only when McDermott and Beane were brought in that things begin to materialize. The culture, the atmosphere, the mind set. It was all beginning to come together. When Beane and McDermott determined that Allen was going to be that guy to take us over the top. It was a puzzling decision. He came from a small school with limited exposure. But they understood and saw what no one else did. That he never quit. He never gave up. That is one of those immeasurable traits that you can't scout, you can't test for. It is as natural to a person who has it as breathing. That is why McDermott told Peter King that he is glad to be part of something special in Buffalo.
It has been a long time coming. But I honestly believe the results will be well worth the wait.

Michael Vick might have some free time.

This is great stuff. Being proactive instead of reactive on offense, will provide plenty of opportunity for our skill players to succeed.

12/8 - vs Ravens and Lamar Jackson the front runner for MVP
12/15 - vs Steelers on NBC Sunday Night Football
12/21 - vs Patriots moved to Saturday game and possibly for the division, #1 seed, and home field through the playoffs
12/29 - vs Jets in the season finale vs Darnold and crew - this game will have either 0 meaning or could decide our playoff fate should we drop 3 in a row
Lots of eyes in meaningful games = the potential for a star to be born.
What I am most excited about is that Josh Allen doesnʻt have to throw for 300+ yards and 3+ TDʻs but rather keep his completion % high, and minimize the INTʻs and fumbles. With our defense playing the way they are, the Wʻs will be the result.
2 reasons why this is HUGE for us:
1) Locking in a playoff spot, and gaining momentum as the post season begins. This was supposed to be the developmental year, however we now have the chance to actually make a nice run. For a sophomore QB to be in this position it definitely helps him progress along to be a potential franchise QB.
2) Free agency commercial appeal. That 4th and 1 play when Josh did what he did vs Dallas it sent a message to the league that he has the grit to lead a team a win. If he can replicate moments like that over this final stretch, win or lose, there will be many around the league who will no longer SETTLE to come and play in Buffalo but rather REQUEST to come and play with this team.
Great Points OP:
Toss in the fact that not only do we have a talented QB, but our injury report is typically one of the shortest in the league week in and week out. That current FA signees like Brown and Beasley, have raved about the training/medical facilities at OBD, being the best in the league. Not only keeping them on the field but also extending their careers.
all arrows pointing up for JA and the organization. If it's a year early so be it. Everything that transpires the rest of this season will carry over to other seasons in the future.

I feel for Kyle, but he left on his own terms. Unlike Eric Woods, who had to leave the game because of his health.
On the same note. How much fun would be if Terrance McGee and Freddie Jackson were also part of this. I know Terrance is a bit of a stretch because he played so long ago, but no less deserving IMO.
Even though there is a lot to be proud of, up to this point. There is still so much work left to be done. Lets keep it rolling.
GO BILLS!!!

This season isn't the destination for this team, only an early part of their journey. I am excited not only for their current opportunity but the position they are in to be successful in the future. I appreciate everything that McDermott brings to the organization, both as a person and a head coach. Pegula got it right entrusting the future of this organization to Beane and McDermott. I fully intend to enjoy this ride.
