    Can you recall two devastating failures on the same weekend?

    they want the 3 peat, so, there is that. with as many and I do say many games the chefs had won that they really should of lost but won due to calls or questionable plays, says it all. those that don't see it are either chefs fans or wearing blinders.

     

    get back to me after the gun sounds and who hoists the lombardi at this years sb.

    Man, they have hyped up the 3-peat, but I think it’s more of making them the “bad guys” because everyone needs somebody to hate.  With Brady and the Pats gone, they need a villain.  Now the question is, do they want to swing one for Buffalo to sell more revenue on that stadium or are they going to try to validate Lamar and send one to Baltimore.   I think the better interest of the league lies with the Bills and making the ticket prices and PSLs sell at a premium for the new stadium.  If they bump the revenue for the Bills they all make more money.   If there’s one thing you should Always follow it’s the money.    I’d bet, if there is a “script” or at least a helping hand for a team, it will favor the Bills this year.   It makes more sense if you think about the loss to Baltimore, it sets up a nice conference final story about them crushing the Bills early in the year.  So even if they lose, the Ravens will have 2 MVP candidates and will only have lost to the eventual SB champs.  Then they can come for more next year.

    I blame BOTH HCs!

     

    Eberfus was clearly a buffoon who held his star Rookie QB back. But when you’re getting $4.5 M to make end of game decisions,if your final TO is not taken at 0.32 secs, post a 0.33 sec sack…

     

    YOU GOTTA GO… ASAP! 
     

    You are just too ***** stupid to Coach an NFL franchise! 
     

    In the case of the Raiders, what was that clown even trying to do, running a play with 15 ticks and 0 TOs from the 31 yard line? You have a journeyman QB and not named Allen or Mahomes, who has trouble out of the pocket. Which he needs to do, to get that 6 yard out!
     

    Plus Spags is defending from the outside in, so you throw farther than 5 yards… in bounds… you’re dead! NO time left.

     

    KICK YOUR ***** 47 YARD FG! 

    Ok, but in defense of Pierce, the kicker had already missed 3 FGs, getting it closer wasn’t THAT dumb.

    Brock Purdy- Shoulder Injury

    If he’s healthy enough to go, you have to play the guy.  It’s the starting QB, if he can protect himself and make the expected throws, regardless of discomfort, he’s gotta be out there.   No excuses.  How many times have we seen JA and other greats beat up, but out there for the team?  Purdy isn’t on that level, but he’s the starter, he’s gotta go out there if he can.

    Beane built the Bills to beat the Chiefs.  Look at what the Chiefs do well, and then look at our defense.  Fast, on the small side overall, cohesive zone pass defense.  Not built to stop a Mack truck coming through the line. I don't think we'll face the Chiefs until the AFC championship assuming both teams make it that far, but I sure do hope some other team takes on Baltimore for us.
     

    By the way, in last night's game there was a Poona Ford sighting.  He was playing very well for the Chargers after what Joe Buck called a wasted year in Buffalo. What happened that held him back here?  He looks like the big body athlete we never seem to have at DT.

    I don’t know why, but Ford was just not good here, I think everyone left that relationship disappointed.

    Postseason is ALL that matters

    Maybe getting a little high after the last six weeks since then.  Since that point I've gone from maybe winning a Wild Card game to Super Bowl contenders.  The Cooper trade, getting healthy down the stretch, the emergence of young guys on cheap deals improving (Benford, Bernard, Coleman, Davis, Shakir, Rousseau, Cook), and our offensive line not skipping a beat with the loss of Morse makes them Super Bowl contenders.  That's assuming they stay healthy which is always the main concern.


    There is also something going on here where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.  Comparably, I don’t think this team is as individually talented as many of the contenders, but as a team, they are playing really great ball.  The D has really stepped up, even with injuries to key guys, the O is doing enough and mostly capitalizing on the opportunities the D has been providing.   This is going to be a tough team to beat down the stretch.  Detroit will certainly be an indicator of how good the D really is.  I think Allen can keep the O on pace with the Lions, BUT if they come out and run the ball down the throat like the Ravens did, it’s a bad sign.   I’m just looking forward to a strong finish to the season and hopefully some stuff breaks our way as the post season rolls around.   It’s time to see the Bills in a SB again.

    Good! Give me Brock Purdy throwing in the elements. Freezing rain would be even better.

    Ehh, I really don’t want them to feel they need to run the ball more against this team.  If there’s one major concern this year it’s run D, also just so happens to be the strength of almost all of the real contenders O.  A bit scary.

    Giants are releasing QB Daniel Jones (future backup to Josh Allen)

    Yours is certainly a defendable POV.

     

    I think Jones has the potential to be better than Mayfield - better physical tools, better ability to run.  But I think Jones needs the right pieces around him and the right coach more than Mayfield does.

    I could see it, just haven’t seen Jones really take it up a level, but he has been working out of a dumpster fire.

    He had 2 years of QB play that were adequate for an otherwise sound team to win with - his rookie season 2019 under Pat Shurmur/Mike Shula and 2022 under Daboll/Mike Kafka - but supported by a strong run game and before Daboll's ego swelled to a size sufficient to fill a small auditorium at STP with room left over for 2 but not 3 standard helium balloons to maintain full inflation.

    I say this based on a thing I did back in 2016 where I looked at what aspects of QB play were correlated with winning - completion %, TD/INT ratio, etc.  Passing Y/G overall weren't, but there was a floor of passing yards that improved the correlation.

    And no, I don't know that's what happened to Daboll's ego but there are stories

    I don’t think he’s “bad”, but I also don’t think he’s even at Mayfield level and Baker is really a mid tier guy.   Jones got paid, he’s probably not going to get another big deal.  Now we see if he’s really dedicated to the grind or if he just fades out.

    This is delusional. If anything buffalo isn't losing again until next fall

    Ok, that’s a bit delusional as well… it was an impressive win vs. KC.  The way the Bills are playing, the only team that “should” stand a chance is the Lions, but take nothing for granted these days.

    I am torn on the Mr. brightside thing. It is a catchy song, but the lyrics/meaning are so unbelievably out of place to be played at a football game.

     

    It just feels bizarre that that is the Bills song. It’s about some dude catching his girlfriend cheating! 


    anyone have a similar reaction? 

    Yes, I have no idea how that fits in with football.  I don't get it and I don’t see how people get “pumped” from that song.  I could see it for a higher energy, more related song etc, this one baffles me.

    Can we talk about Beane and Oline?

    The OL has played very well this year AND has depth, props to everyone involved there.  To handle the Chiefs the way they did with a starting T down and losing Dawkins for a minute in the game, was super impressive.  I like the T depth a lot.

     

    my apologies to Mr Van Demark for my preseason statements, I won’t be surprised if he’s the future at LT here.

    Agree.
     

    It will also be interesting to see how the network plays this game up beforehand. This is the time of year when both Fox and CBS have doubleheaders and the Bills-Lions game is up against the Steelers-Eagles.

     

    Both are interconference games that will only have meaning independently for each team. Probably will be billed as two potential Super Bowl matchups. 

    Let’s see if the Eagles and the Steelers are still considered SB contenders by then.   Something tells me the Steelers are going to need more than FGs to win games and the Eagles are perennial choke artists.   The Lions are awesome, the Bills just beat the team with the best record in the AFC, both have to be regarded as SB potential teams.  I don’t see that lasting for either team in PA, but I could be wrong.   If I had to guess, they will hype the ***** out of Bills/Lions bc all of PA is going to watch the Steeler/Eagle game anyway.

    Benford, Bernard & Shakir…re-sign all of them?

    The best slot receiver in the NFL will come with a sizeable price tag.  

     

    Can't wait until the heads on the this board explode when they re-sign Cook as well.  Don't forget Torrence and Groot have only one year left on their rookie deals.  Torrence (2025 - $9.385 cap hit) is also going to be extended.  Groot has a club option for 2025 (13.875 cap hit) which the Bills will certainly exercise if they  don't extend him as well.  


    Shakir is not the best slot in the NFL, he’s having a nice year, but still going to struggle to break 1k yards, don’t get to far out in front of your skis.   He’s a really good player and I absolutely want him back, he’s probably going to go over 20M a season.  The fact is they still need an outside WR1 too, so unless they draft one this year, they have to sign one at presumably over 20M a year, the money is going to be tough to figure out.

     

    There are going to be guys they have to let walk.  That list is going to include Cook, as well as others they have drafted, there’s just not enough to go around.  I think Groot is the exact type of player you let go of, he’s been a solid starter and will have been relatively cheap for 5 years, but he’s no game changer and he’s going to be paid like one, thanks but no thanks.  He’s kind of Ed Oliver in the DE form in that respect. Torrence is another one to watch, he’s going to get paid, is he going to play like last week or the first 8 weeks.  1 version is worth a contract, the other is what you can’t afford to pay.
