My favorite thing about the Colts game is that in the previous offseason both the Bills and Colts were looking for a new kicker. The bills took Tyler Bass in the sixth round while the Colts went the UDFA route with Rodrigo Blankenship. In the playoff game Blankenship missed a 34 yarder and Bass hit a 54 yarder and the Bills won by 3. We won because Beane made the right move and Bass executed in the clutch.

First of all on the touchdown, everyone knew we were running a play and not kneeling so if they can't stop us they can't stop us. As for the 2 point conversion, if you get it there's literally no chance a team can get 3 scores in a minute with no timeouts. If you kick the extra point there's an absolutely minuscule chance that a team could get 2 TDs in a minute with no timeouts. We were just trying to win the game.

Well if anyone could identify horrible coaching performances it's Rex Ryan.

Every time a team that's not the Bills goes to spike it I hope the QB gets confused and kneels instead. Pretty great to see that it actually happened. Unfortunate for that kid and team but I've been waiting to see it lol.

I'm curious as to how those stat people do their research because New England in 2007 had a better point differential over a 4 game winning streak than us. It was only by one point but it still happened. In week 7 they beat Miami 49-28 (21 pts), week 8 Wash 52-7 (45 pts), week 9 Indy 24-20 (4 pts), week 10 bye, week 11 Buffalo 56-10 (46 pts). Add up those point differences and you get 116. We've outscored our last four opponents by 115 points. So we just missed out I guess.

Wallace was out last year as well. Norman was our #1 CB lol. They had him matched up one on one against AJ Brown at times and that went poorly of course. Also, John Brown was out and that was significant because Andre Roberts had to play and Josh threw an early interception that went off Andre Roberts hands. I believe they immediately threw a TD to Brown while he was being covered by Norman. We have better depth and better health this year. Should be a very different result.

Literally nothing negative to say about this team or that performance tonight. Time to get another huge conference win this Monday night! Go Bills!

Passing TDs don't count as points scored. Whoever actually scores the touchdown gets the points. If they gave it to both the QB and whoever he throws to they would end up giving out more points scored than actual points scored in the game.

Possibly. The bad memories tend to stick out a little more sometimes for whatever reason.

We were 5-0 in them last year and 2-1 in them the year before. Hopefully that makes you feel a little better?

That second play Baldy talked about was one of the best plays I've ever seen. Two guys coming free as he's rolling left so he stops and goes back right while making the rushers miss and throws a 40+ yard frozen rope to Diggs right on the sidelines. It was absolutely unreal and he makes that kind of stuff look easy and routine.

We technically did it in week 2 as well. Miami scored 0 against us and the Patriots beat the Jets 25-6 for a total of 31 points scored between the three of them while we scored 35. It does feel surreal that we're a legit power and the rest of the division stinks like we used to. Pretty incredible.

Thanks for the reminder. I loved this game. I remember that the public was convinced we were complete garbage because not only did we look pretty terrible through two weeks but Vontae Davis also retired at halftime of the game before so people believed that McDermott had lost the locker room. And then we ended up reverse covering that monstrous spread. Another notable aspect of this game is that Adam Thielen got over 100 yards due to the Bills allowing a ton of garbage time yards. This is notable because Thielen would go on to tie the NFL record that year for most consecutive games with 100+ yards receiving and he wouldn't have tied the record if not for those yards in garbage time.

Oh absolutely. I'm not trying to say they should start Brissett over a healthy Tua, just that at this moment in time that I think Brissett is the better QB.

Brissett was getting hounded all day and did a nice job evading the rush and making people miss and making throws under pressure that I don't think Tua would have been able to make. Brissett is very limited in his downfield passing, true, but I think he is the slightly better QB at this point in their careers but I think Tua will surpass him soon.

His injury allowed Miami to put the better QB in the game IMO. But wishing him a speedy recovery.

It's like Miami's trying to run the clock out on themselves lmao. Great game! Go Bills!

I agree with his overall premise that Josh regressing could mean just statistical regression and not regression of his play as a whole. But I don't necessarily agree with his assumption that Josh's stats are going to regress even after his week 1 performance. Last year Aaron Rodgers was 16/35 for 160 yards and two picks against Tampa Bay and still won MVP with one of his finest seasons ever. Also last season Tampa Bay was throttled 38-3 against New Orleans and went on to win the Super Bowl. Sometimes bad games are just bad games. Josh could still have an unbelievable statistical season. We just don't know yet.

TJ Watt is holding out for a new contract, yes. Sadly, Stephon Tuitt's younger brother was killed in a hit and run accident about a month ago so he has chosen to not participate in practices but he is there for meetings and doing conditioning on the side.

We have a top 5 head coach, a top 5 GM, a top 5 WR, and a top 5 QB. Our OC position would be one of the most coveted jobs in the NFL. I'm not terribly worried about replacing Daboll. But we'll probably just promote Ken Dorsey anyways.

Trubisky Rousseau Singletary Spencer Brown Wildgoose Epenesa Dawkins returning really helped our tackle depth look much better than last week and our defense and pass rush looked great. Very encouraging stuff all around.

In regards to the OP I find it very difficult to believe we could go 14-3, lose to the Chiefs and win the 1 seed. That would require KC to lose 4 other games and I just don't see that happening. If we went 14-3 and beat the Chiefs I could see us getting the 1 seed. That scenario would require the Chiefs to only lose 2 other games. As for my prediction, I also believe we'll go 14-3, but a 15 or 16 win season is possible for this team but it's difficult to predict that because key injuries could cause us to lose a game or two here and there. I also would be shocked if we win fewer than 12 games this year. Should be a fun year! Thanks for the prediction OP!

Rousseau Motor Bass Webb Very few injuries

I'm pumped! Really looking forward to watching the D-line tonight. Lots of depth and potential there and we need people to step up in the middle and on the edge. I'm also going to nervously watch our offensive tackle depth (or lack thereof) and hope Brown and Doyle perform well. Should be a good one!

I bought two tickets for the last Jets game that year before the season started and they cost a couple hundred each and by the time that game started you could get tickets for 15 bucks a pop. And then we got blasted and had that super embarrassing kickoff gaffe. What a nightmare. It was a very nice day for the time of year though.
