  1. Forgot to mention Oliver, who was fantastic today and has been fantastic for weeks.
  2. I thought it was nice hearing an announcer being complimentary of us.
  3. This is not listed in matter of importance - Just the order I thought of them. 1) Despite the cluster mess of the past month, your Buffalo Bills are still an excellent 8-3 and control their own destiny to winning their third straight division championship and need just one loss by the Chiefs to make a run at the #1 seed. The big picture is smiles. 2) Allen’s final throw was GOLD. A rope. A diamond missile from heaven. He stuck that right into Diggs’ chest. Incredible. 3) Diggs said to Allen on the sidelines after the touchdown; “Hey! I told you! I got you bro!” I think he wants Allen to trust him more even in tight coverage. 4) Allen is the first QB in NFL history to win Thanksgiving in all 3 time slots (early game, afternoon game, and night game). 5) Spencer Brown is an absolute liability on an offensive line with several liabilities. When we signed Saffold, I visited the Titans forum and witnessed their fans celebrating that a rival had signed the “dud”. We now see why. 6) Anyone else think Bass may have missed that first or second extra point that was called good? I never saw another angle and the announcers didn’t mention it, but it didn’t look right. Just curious if I had too much Thanksgiving wine or that really happened haha. 7) The Lions play caller was excellent today, and presumably all year looking at their statistical numbers and the very little high-end talent they have. Several points during the game I found myself quite jealous of their play calling, motion, and creativity. Watching Daboll against the Giants is making me yearn for him as well. Outside of Barkley, the Giants have very few playmakers. Daboll is getting the most out of them. 😎 Gabe Davis has shown zero ability to make contested catches. Receivers around the league make receptions with guys draped all over them and defenders hands poking at the ball. We had a receiver (Jefferson) catch a ball while having approximately 3 fingers on the ball and Cam Lewis having 2 full hands on the ball. Enough of the excuses for Gabe Davis (ie: “the pass was defended, not dropped”). If he cant make contested catches, then enough with throwing him the ball in those situations. 9) One concern I have with the defense is lack of situation awareness. One example: Why, on 4th down and goal, would you not instruct the CB’s to chuck the Lions wide receivers? Why allow a free release? Why not disrupt the timing of the routes and motion receiver? To quote the NFL rule book; “Within the area five yards beyond the line of scrimmage, a defensive player may chuck an eligible receiver in front of him. The defender is allowed to maintain continuous and unbroken contact within the five-yard zone, so long as the receiver has not moved beyond a point that is even with the defender.” So as soon as the ball is snapped, chuck the wide receivers and maintain contact. Mess up the timing. Give the pass rush an extra second to get to the QB. Ruin the motion WR. Instead, we allow a free release for EVERY wide receiver. They instantly run pass our defensive backs for a TD. 10) Why would McD call the timeout with 7 seconds left in the game? Or was it someone on the field (a player) that made the mistake? Regardless, you want to call the timeout with 3 seconds left so the field goal is the final play. One may argue you want to leave time for a botched snap - except you didn’t have any more timeouts so that doesn’t matter. You should not have to kickoff and field a last second desperation play or return by the Lions. 11) Maybe it’s in my head, but just LOOKING at Josh, I see a different player than earlier in the season. His expressions and composure screams that something is wrong. Remember when he used to run and then get up yelling and signaling first down? That’s seems gone. Something FEELS off with him. I don’t see the same tenacity and fire. Maybe i’m overthinking it, because that piss missile he flung through the stratosphere to Diggs was prime Josh Allen. 12) One team building thought: Florio mentioned over the off-season that if the Bills had been the team to make the trade for Von Miller in 2021 (rather than the Rams), he believes the Bills would have made the 1 or 2 extra stops needed to beat the Chiefs, and the Bills would have won the Super Bowl. I agree, and I would trade a second and third pick right now for a Super Bowl win last year. I would trade James Cook (2nd round pick) and Terrell Bernard (3rd round pick) for a Super Bowl win last year. Injuries are such a huge factor in winning it all and I think you need to pull the trigger and go all-in on the years where you are having good injury luck. Last year was one of those years - we were relatively lucky. I hope Beane learns from this going forward and makes a key trade during a year where we have the injury luck and can make a push. “F them picks” to quote the Rams - Yeah, they suck this year, but i’d trade a year of suck for a Super Bowl win. Maybe that’s just me. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Go Bills! God bless you and your family.
  4. I hadn’t heard Morse had a high ankle sprain. That’s news to me. He finished the game.
  5. I think we’ll be getting Edmunds, Rousseau and Morse back next week against the Patriots. We should be fairly healthy, outside of Von (question mark).
  6. Bills play the Patriots, Jets and Dolphins over the next 3 weeks. The most crucial stretch of the season. Going 3-0 will guarantee at least a 1 game lead over the Dolphins, and at least a 2 game lead over the Jets and Patriots… with only 3 weeks remaining in the season. The Dolphins play the 49ers and Chargers before us, so there is a real possibility that it’s a 2 game lead for all AFC East opponents, if the Bills find a way to win the next 3. May this be the game that brings the team together, and Go Bills as we go 3-0 and take a commanding lead into the final weeks of the season.
  7. Not trying to spam by posting it twice, just curious if anyone knows the answer to this.
  8. Go to the Titans forum and ask about Saffold. They couldn’t wait for him to leave and there is a reason he only could get a one year deal. He made the Pro Bowl on name recognition from half a decade ago. He hasn’t been good in years.
  9. When did Tre White go out and why did he leave? Did they ever say anything about it? Not sure if I missed it.
  10. Just LOOK at Josh. His expressions and composure screams that something is wrong. Remember when he used to run and then get up yelling and signaling first down? That’s GONE. Remember when he used to get on the refs for extra penalties? That’s GONE. Remember when he used to go down the sideline pumping everyone up? They’re either not showing it or it’s GONE. Something is off with him.
  11. Beane really should have to answer for this offensive line. Signing re-treads every year is not the answer.
  12. Allen is hurt or something. No excuse to miss that simple throw.
  13. Ed Oliver has turned into a stud. And it’s been going on for weeks now.
  14. It was a drop. WR’s across the entire NFL make contested catches. Jefferson made a catch against us where he had about 3 fingers on the ball and our defender has two entire hands on the ball. Gabe needs to be able to make that catch.
  15. Gabe Davis simply can NOT make a contested catch. Other WR’s can out muscle the CB. Davis simply can’t.
  16. This is why I am a fan of making a big trade and going “all-in” when you have a season where you are lucky with little to no injuries (like we have had the last few seasons). Because you will have seasons where you have lots of injuries and the season is much more difficult. Take advantage of the lay-ups. Florio said it best - If we made the trade for Von last year (instead of the Rams), the Bills have a Super Bowl trophy.
  17. Spencer Brown whiffed so hard that even the RB helping him with a chip, he still got beat.
