Ya Digg?

They have shown plenty of times this season a “killer instinct” even as recently as Denver. One game doesn’t worry me too much

What do you mean handle it this way? How should they have handled it? I get it, you love how the guy plays, we all do…but at this point with his injuries clearly he is much more valuable for his mind than what he can actually do on the field

This has been said since literally the first day he came back, why are people still surprised about this?

So it means that Jackson and Clapp have a chance of playing tomorrow while Spector definitely isn’t

I sure hope this comment is tongue in cheek You know who else is planning potential parades right now? Buffalo, Philadelphia, and Washington

I have to assume that’s probably a standard price for a beer around the league. I went to a Phillies game last summer and they were charging $16 a beer, I saw a beer at a Dodgers game this year will be $35. It’s certainly not cheap to go to a sporting event any more

So just to play devil’s advocate, would we not think the same way if the Bills were in the same position? Even now, we get offended when someone doesn’t think Josh is the best QB in the league. I think it would be easy to say “no, we wouldn’t be like that” but I think if the Bills had won 3 of the last 4 super bowls and had just gone 15-2 (with really only 1 loss) there would be a lot of us thinking the same way. That being said, it’s going to be a lot of fun watching them come back to earth on Sunday

Is Watson a former pro bowler that I don’t know about? I keep reading about him in this thread and that Josh needs to avoid him. Honestly asking, am I missing something? Or is it just that he was the starter, got injured, then came back?

I think I saw a stat that said Mahomes has actually not done well against the blitz for a while now. That being said, the Bills can't blitz someone like Hamlin, who seems to get blocked every time he blitzes. So if they do blitz, they have to get home.

Perhaps if the Bills had turned the ball over in those games I might agree with you, but I don't think these games made them change anything. Yes the defense did not do well, but I honestly don't think they changed much up in terms of "ball control" philosophy

Even with those 2 in the lineup it's not like they have been a juggernaut on offense. They can be stopped for sure

makes sense - he knows Brady from both Michigan and Tampa Bay, he has Brady's trust, now he gets an opportunity to prove himself

So after reading this response, I believe that we are looking at things from 2 different directions. I was looking at it as a league driven problem, which clearly I don't think it is. You're looking at it from an outsider influence problem, which I will certainly agree that can be an issue. With the amount of money that's being bet, it is certainly plausible that an outside influence can get to a ref (for example) to try and influence plays and games in a "favorable" way. We saw it happen in the NBA with that ref several years ago, and I wouldn't be surprised if at the very least there have been NFL refs who have explored that route.

Ok so then 2 questions-who is this one person? Is it 1 ref each game who does this? Someone from the NFL office? Also, why KC? If it’s a greed/money thing why wouldn’t someone choose Dallas/Chicago/either NY team/LA (you get the point) a bigger market team that would make a lot more money for someone? And before you mention Taylor Swift, people were calling conspiracy before her and Kelce started dating

Here’s the thing with all of these conspiracy theories. You would need all 32 teams in on the conspiracy. So 31 out of 32 teams would have to sign off on not winning the Super Bowl. 15 AFC teams would have to be fine with never even going to the Super Bowl. The amount of people who would know and never go public with the information would be huge. But sure, there’s a huge conspiracy just to get the Chiefs there

I would love to be up enough late in the 4th where he doesn’t have to use his legs. He’s a weapon though, can’t gameplan to not use him

Not sure the irony part, but Brady is a HUGE fan of Josh so yes, I would love to hear Brady call the game with Josh involved

I’m sorry I’m still confused-do you think there are guys who are taking this too seriously or not seriously enough?

I have to ask-is there are part of you that actually thinks the players don’t know what they are playing for this week?

You’re in a Bills fans discussion board, grow some thicker skin. You make that statement, of course people are going to have a reaction. So it’s on you to toughen up, let people refute it, and for you to move on

Ahhhhh, you’re one of those guys, aren’t ya?

This is an overly simplistic take. Johnson has been there for several years now, and he definitely led that offense that was putrid to one of the top offenses in the game. Doesn’t mean he can run a team, but he is certainly deserving of a shot and it has nothing to do with the media or fans

Cool-I’ll take the worse team next week to win and the worse team 2 weeks later to win. It’s the playoffs, just win the game. I will gladly have the Bills take the mantle of “worst team to ever win a Super Bowl”

What’s the issue? It’s always this way, that’s how you generate clicks and people watching. This is not something even remotely new when they talk about a game. They always discuss what teams did to lose, pretty much ever since sports talk started (this was happening WELL before social media). Its really nothing to see here, move along

I feel like this thread has been started roughly 13 or 14 times this year. One more time and I will have filled up my punch card and I get a free ice cream!!
