It smells political to me. OP has his panties in a wad that we refer to our white star player by his first name but our black star players we still refer to as Diggs, Milano, etc. But OP is dumb because we do also say Von so it's not really a racial thing.

and what percentage of the forum are those fans? 1%? 2%? we have to stop getting frustrated that not literally every Bills fan, opposing fan, or pundit will bow down at the sight of our mighty Bills.

Even before this week, the Bills were considered the best team by both fans and pundits (just not literally every fan and pundit). We really can't play the disrespect card this season, not to mention the disrespect card is gay. Yes, and that was obviously in reference to a debate about whether the Bills are an all-time great team (after playing three recent games that were tossups), not whether the Bills are an excellent team this year especially when healthy. Why do you lie?

I guess we'll see. Perhaps the stats say that, but my eye test says the Bills recently played three games that could've gone either way against Mia, Bal, and KC, and thankfully we came away 2-1. I'm not knocking those wins, and in fact, I love that our team is getting close-game experience and coming through with Ws finally; that experience will help during a playoff run. But I just don't see some GOAT / ATG-contending team yet. Maybe the bye and getting Tre White back and overall getting reasonably healthy will launch us into a new stratosphere. I would love to root for a GOAT / ATG team, but I'll have to see it to believe it.

At the end of the season, record-wise, the AFCE may not be as far behind the AFCW as once thought. Making our win at KC on Sunday even bigger for the chase for the #1 seed.

You write as if this is a coin-flip situation. Maybe tomorrow is nuclear Armageddon, maybe it's not :-) The fact is the odds are extremely against any team becoming one of the GOATs. While it's not literally impossible, I find it unlikely that a team with our offensive line and our banged up defense ends up being a GOAT-type team. If Mahomes takes advantage of our banged-up secondary like Pickett sometimes did, we're a 4-2 team as of Sunday. Again, I'm very confident in this team and believe we have the best team if the defense can get reasonably healthy and gels.

Josh can be a Hall of Famer without this being one of the best teams of all time. I would think our OL eliminates us from that conversation, and let's see if the D can get healthy enough to realize their potential. With decent health, the Bills look to be the best team in football this year, and that's more than enough for me. Just win the Super Bowl please so we can have this debate in February.

It's just small-sample size, guys. I love our team but we're not some all-time great team. Likewise, Geno Smith isn't the best QB in the NFL. Spread back to 2.5 in most places now, as expected. And I could see it going lower as some sharps continue to relish getting KC as a home dog.

I am surprised that it did hit 3 (albeit at -120 instead of -110) but still anticipate sharps getting it back down to 2.5 or less later in the week.

This game has zero chance of crossing 3 (!) or even touching 3 (except I suppose for a very brief moment at some rogue book, which is possible before it gets pushed back to 2.5). Frankly you'll see some sharp money on KC as a home underdog later in the week with the Bills closing as -1 or pk. These sharps will lose money because the Bills will win (I think) but most likely there will be more sharps on KC than Buffalo.

yup

Globalist Football League. Satan's Plan Football League. Jokes aside, don't the Euros have much stricter vaxx mandates? That alone would scuttle this. The NFL has smartly not investigated how rampant fake vaxx cards are, but that wouldn't fly with the Euros.

Two things: (1) Don't worry about any Steelers "tactic" from Week 1 of last year. Pittsburgh is notorious for running a real training camp with real hitting and so they are always more prepared to play football in Week 1 than their opponent, unless they too run a real training camp. (2) Re: the point spread, anyone afraid of 14 is actually being square. You might think the "sharp" play is to take all those underdog points but then you're forgetting that the Bills love to blowout bad teams and sometimes good teams we match up well against. Our weakness has been, until last week, clutch execution in tight games. But don't stress the 14 lol.

what if mcdermott finishes 1-6 in close games this season? a little too early to crow and point fingers. great win though.

Then don't be so confident pre-game. Either Bills fans sucked predicting this game, or the team underperformed. One has to be true, maybe both.

you're bad at analytics if you believe the data in that article is reliable for ranking Buffalo as having a top-4 analytics department.

Haack: Okay, young Araiza. This is Holding Lesson #1. I'm going to teach you a hand-strengthening exercise. First, splay all your fingers out on that table there. Araiza: That's weird but okay. Hey, is that a mallet you're holding in your hand? Haack: ..... Nope. This is also not me raising it over my head.

that's overstated as we still punt over a quarter of the time. it's like how we only average 2 FG attempts a game but it's still nice to have a great placekicker. araiza's the ultimate field flipper. now, any time the bills are in bad field position (like after a 3-and-out), the opposing team is in bad field position. opposing DCs will have to gameplan around Araiza and make sure Buffalo always gets a couple of first downs before playing D for real.

If there were only about 20 players with 1st-round grades and that was close to consensus around the league, it makes sense that picks in the 20 range (like 23) can extract more in a trade than you would otherwise think possible. Obviously Elam was one of the last players that the Bills had a first round grade on (maybe THE last) and they didn't want to plug CB2 with a player a tier below.

I like the signing but I also wish we had just traded for him. Maybe the Bills and Rams would swap roles right now, with the Rams trying to go all-in again and signing MIller to a massive contract while the Bills celebrate a Lombardi.

missing on this isn't as bad as some of you are making it out to be simply because loading up the AFC West is a good thing for the Bills, but to those pooh-poohing Mack's recent production, there's no way Beane produces more sacks from that 2nd-rounder and 6th-rounder.

haha, you should tell reddit and twitter that. as for sanctions and relationships between countries, we'll have to see long-term what the impact is. i hope you realize there is potentially major blowback on the european and u.s. economies, too, and the possible death of the petrodollar. I think there's a chance the U.S. and Europe will hurt worse, and just as importantly, I think there's a chance the U.S. and Europe populaces are less tough in the face of economic wars than the Russian people, who are used to being poor. you know, we're a week, a week and half into a war, and it's funny how so many internet experts can predict the future.

so? Zelensky also released prisoners and armed them. He's going to use whatever soldiers he can get, and indeed a decent amount of his military is NeoNazi. (btw, Nazis hate Russians, too. It's not really that surprising). extremely optimistic, i'd say. If you're referring to the sanctions, we'll have to see what the blowback on the european and U.S. economies will be, as well as the petrodollar.

man, hopefully these 48% don't actually support that though.
