The comparison isn’t intended to be Josh vs Trevor as a QB-there’s no debate about that. My point is that it seems Lawrence relatively speaking has gotten a much bigger pass on his turnovers than Josh has. We all know why, but perhaps after this season there will be more scrutiny on the QB who had by far the best team in the AFC south and they could now potentially lose the division and not even make the playoffs!
You’re absolutely right, the reason I referenced the comparison is because when Josh had a 3 game hiccup scoring in the 1st half of games, sports talk imbeciles were substituting Lawrence for Josh when talking best quarterbacks. As for your point, Mahomes has had a boatload of TOs also but he’s a magician and someone you can’t criticize.

Please don’t even dignify comparisons between Lawrence and Josh. Lawrence beat the Chargers in the greatest choke job in NFL history and then proceeded to spearhead an improbable implosion going from 8 and 3 to 8 and 7., culminating in consecutive injuries and done for the season. He regressed this year and literally became a turnover machine in the losses. He’s not Josh and never will be.

First off Merry Christmas bills fans!
I wanted to throw out a scenario that I’m hopeful for but don’t believe will be popular take and would love to get some feedback.First most important I just want bills to get in playoffs. This year more than ever has taken a toll on me. Jets, patriots, broncos, and eagles losses particular were heartbreaking. Give me even one of those wins and we likely are not even having this conversation. I would be all about the 1 seed. For now though Bills making the playoffs and having an opportunity to go on a run is priority #1.
Now where we may disagree:
I don’t care about the division this year. In a perfect world to me bills beat the patriots. We have 2 probable games go our way chiefs beating bengals and Seahawks beating Steelers. Playoffs are clinched!
Following week I would be in full support of treating Miami as a bye week. Rest up,
get healthy and let’s go on a run. No risk of any other significant injury. Bills are as good as anyone in AFC this year. They aren’t getting a 1 seed. I don’t care if it’s wildcard or afc championship to make Super Bowl they will likely have to go KC and Baltimore and win which they can do.
Lastly looking wayyyy ahead to next year. I know anything can happen and it’s sometime when you play a team not who you play. But Miami wins division this year. Next year for the uncommon opponents they get the chiefs, ravens and lions. Bills get broncos, browns and Vikings. Trust me I’m 1000% overly focused and all in this year but to me that’s significant in another competitive year.
You make excellent points but if Miami loses to Baltimore next week and we beat NE, that’s a home playoff game with the division title if we beat Miami. Wouldn’t you prefer playing KC or Miami at home in the WC round.

This guy has done nothing and that fumble hurt us. When Hines went down we lost a great returner and there is no replacement on this roster. Harty has caught every punt so far until the Chargers, if he just doesn’t put it on the ground, he’ll be fine.

The reality is we were lucky yesterday. Josh was bad Josh until the last drive. Cook had a pivotal fumble. The defense let a guy with no experience in the league almost win the game for the Bolts. The only guy that played really well was Oliver.
Just admit they sucked yesterday and got lucky. They won’t be that bad every game; I suspect they’ll squish the Fish like Josh always does. But they sucked yesterday and have too many times this year against inferior competition and that’s why they’re in the position they’re in.
What exactly do you want fans to admit, who are trying to will their team into the playoffs? They lost 4 games with a decimated defense on the opposition’s final possession. ( Denver, Jets, Patriots and Eagles) Our defense was great in must win situations the last 3 weeks, beating the champs, the team that every objective NFL observer was the top offense the last 2 months and overcoming 4 TOs against a highly motivated NFL team on the road. Josh is clutch and when he needed a long drive to win, he stuck it in your ear. You want to puff up your chest and denounce a team that has been flawed and is showing guts and resilience, trying to overcome a down season fine. Please don’t insult this fanbase with calling a win lucky. Wins in the NFL require pride, unity and desire. When we were 6and 6, did you think we would be 9 and 6? You are the poor soul that gave up not the team you’re burying.

We can thank Giff for using the handy old school “ take the points” approach. He had some chances to put more pressure on the Bills
He did the right thing taking the points and if we don’t get that 3rd down Shakir catch or Diggs 3rd down catch, we were looking at a crushing loss. Those guys played inspired ball and Josh missed some throws. We had some bad penalties with the turnovers but our defense was enormous and forced 5 FGs. We’ll play better next week guaranteed.

It's hard to win when you lose TO battle 0-3 but we just did it.
Oliver and Bernard saved the day with huge sacks.
Ugly win but still a win. 6 more to go.
Exactly right, if you fumble punts, backs fumble carries deep in your own end you’re probably gonna lose. Good teams find a way to overcome.

That’s not what I’m saying though. I’m saying Miami wins their next two and hence the division, and we win out. In that scenario, it’s almost certain we still get in as a wild card.After watching them struggle against a winning team , they’re losing one of the next two, probably both.

If Miami wins their next two games, our only hope will be as a wild card. And while Miami winning their next two is not probable, it’s even less probable that 10+ other games go a certain way. My point is, even if we win all of our games, Wild Card just as easily could be our path in still, versus winning the division.Sadly I can’t come up with a scenario where we get in without beating Miami.

These scenarios will be disposable after this weekend. More likely is our winning the division or out of the playoffs with the results of the Dolphins game.

I see no way the Bills get in unless they run the table and that isn’t going to happen.
All other teams have pretty cake schedules.
Naturally you don’t see it, because you can’t stand the Bills. Keep rooting against them and when they stick it in your ear by running the table, become invisible. Why can’t they beat LA, featuring a practice squad QB,who just joined the team this week, NE at home who threw in the towel weeks ago and Miami, who can’t win a meaningful game against a quality team. Your act is getting tiresome.

Love it. It’s a smart football play when you feel contact. Same thing with Diggs telling the offense to hurry up and snap it before the challenge occurs. It’s just a high IQ move. Refs arent perfect and smart players and teams can take advantage of that. My whole thing the other day is that defender had no business even touching Josh at that point. Like why touch him at all. Ball was gone well before. Just a dumb move. And i dont mind Josh acting a little bit to get the refs attention on a dumb move by the defender
It just seems like common sense. These foolish fans who prefer a QB to just try and insulate rushers who are coached to knock them out of the game, from penalties, end up whining when refs miss obvious roughing calls.

He does it too much
If you claim to be a Bills fan do you deny Mahomes, Brady, Joe Cool flop to get roughing calls? It’s the way you help your team win. Mahomes and Brady whined on every hit because they wanted a call. Stop complaining, the refs randomly miss these calls and they’re not reviewable.

I have watched every game for decades. Literally.
Even gotten free trials of fubo, downloaded apps, got up at absurd times to see London games, etc.
But this game isn't on LOCAL ROCHESTER MARKET because piddly little peacock is trying a money grab.
All the other "exclusives" had free trials, were simulcast on a real network, or even in the case of prime- everyone already has it. But peacock, tiny little bullschitt peacock with nothing worthwhile to offer? The NFL not only isn't afraid, they actively don't like us.
So I can't. I just can't. Sure, I could afford the subscription; but I can't positively reinforce negative behavior by the NFL trying yet another way into fans' pockets.
They will take our tax money to build the brand new stadium for a billionaire, but we can't even watch the effing game. Pathetic.
Just get the app for the one month and cancel it. Don’t try to teach NBC/Universal life lessons. The season’s on the line.

I gotta say I hate it. I love Josh he’s an amazing QB that does not need to do this, it’s embarrassing. I was talking to my buddy who is an Eagles fan about this about 4 or 5 weeks ago.
I hate it in hockey and in soccer, it’s the most embarrassing thing a great player can do. Once again Josh is GREAT, he’s gotta stop flopping when he’s hit, it’s a terrible look.Specially when he’s out there trucking guys and stiff arming when he’s running. He can’t fall like he was shot and flail on the ground looking for a call when he’s touched in the backfield.
Your embarrassment and revulsion at him flopping is silly. He absorbs high speed collisions without a penalty all game and sometimes gets ripped around by his horsecollar and gets called for intentional grounding which could have been the difference in the Philly game. Do you think these players care about style points?People that are offended by his flop which turned the game around with the roughing the kicker penalty that featured a flop also, must consider these defensive players should not have made it close enough to get it called. Would you have preferred he stoically stood erect and sacrificed the call? The game yesterday was the Bills season, Josh did everything to get a win. As a Bills fan you should be ashamed.

Since Brady has taken over it does seem to have lightened his load and given him a second wind, can't count the Jets game 1st game with Brady and also the Jets don't have an offense. He started to do it against the Eagles then it's like he had a relapse starting in the second half. But it does feel like they're building steam right now and it's a hell of a time to do it.
That team came into Buffalo as a top Super Bowl contender and walked out questioning their existence.
If they can run the table they’ll be favorites to get to the SB.

The McDermott Era is full of great games and dominant performances. Yesterday was no exception. But can they play that focused week after week after week?
That's always been the issue under McDermott. The lack of consistency. They'll play a great game, maybe two great games in a row. But then follow it up with a stinker where the team is out of synch, tight, unmotivated, unfocused, etc.
Agreed, but somehow this feels different. I think Sean is focused on defensive preparation and coaching physicality with the entire squad and he’s stressing discipline and cutting out penalties. Brady is calling plays that enhance the talent on the team and especially the O-line because they are playing with aggression run blocking for good backs. Too bad it took 3/4 of the season to get there.

Sean has to take a lot of credit for a defensive performance that rivals any in years. These players were prepared to be physically dominant and fundamentally sound. No stupid penalties, great tackling and pressure when needed was what we served up today. Dallas walked out of Buffalo a beaten and demoralized team. What an incredible game.

Douglas is godsend. He’s an aggressive corner who has played the best receivers successfully for years. A great pickup for Beane. I’m wondering why Fournette is not activated. He seems like a great way to protect a lead in the four minute offense. I remember him getting a lot of carries in the Brady years.

We will have to wait to know if he is adversely affecting the roster for the next two seasons. He won a Super Bowl just a couple of years ago. He hadn't lost anything playing last season, and he's still recovering from a serious injury. He's a serious worker and a great team leader.
His age? Yeah, maybe it's a factor, but the true greats, and Miller is one, often have a way to play longer than the ordinary guys. And in Buffalo he has the benefit of playing in a rotation, which can be expected to help extend his career.
You know, ordinarily I would dismiss your contention that he’s the exception to the rule, but he has a HOF career and maybe it takes a year to get his confidence about the knee. I hope you’re right.
-
I have so much appreciation for how great he has played after getting paid. He’s an all pro and the lynchpin of our defense. Losing Jones has hurt but with Eddie being a leader and providing pressure up the middle, Floyd and AJ have gotten sacks and pressures.Settle and Joseph have been effective run stoppers, Hopefully we can get something out of Miller in these crucial games coming up.

I don't get this. The guy is a first-ballot Hall of Fame player. Before his injury, he was playing at essentially the same level as in previous seasons (he averaged 10 sacks a season, and playing part-time last season he had 8, he's recovering from an injury that takes 12-18 months for full recovery), and yet you say if he doesn't make an impact in the next four games, he's history. Makes no sense.
History, never said that. He’s guaranteed 70 million over 5 years and he’s a liability if he gets no sacks or tackles. The problem is Beane signed a 33 year old, with injuries in his history, to a monster contract and it is adversely affecting the roster for minimum 2more seasons.

It seems like Von is either hesitant to bull rush or make the turn when he rushes wide. Maybe he still doesn’t trust the knee. He’s got to put his stamp on one or two of the remaining games in order to be counted on going forward. Otherwise we will be taking a big hit for no production at a vital position.
The #2 seed is actually obtainable now
