Yeah I agree, although I think the choke job was last year, even more than the SB losses of the past. This year wasn't really a choke. One could argue though that the NFL tried to help the Bills a tad, with the neutral site games etc. Bottom line is they were overhyped and we bought it😑

Maybe. The Bills faced Cle in a dome, and fortunately the Browns aren't well coached- they controlled the entire 1st half until a fumble by their QB. Cle outgained us that day as well behind Jacoby Brissett. Another AFC North team, the Ratbirds coughed up the game vs the Bills with 2 Lamar INTs. I don't think the Bills are that far off, as 4 straight playoff appearances show that. They just lose the trenches vs physical type teams.

With the exception of the early season beat down of Pittsburgh, sadly the Bills don't match up to the AFC North style of football. I'm convinced they would have handled the Chargers, if the Chargers didn't gag vs Jax. May have even handled the Chiefs in the AFC title game (if KC would have beaten Cincy). So to me Cincy is/was a bad matchup. Philly or the 49ers would have done another 27-10 ish thing to the Bills in the Super Bowl. The Bills aren't a physical team. It is what it is.

Bingo. Man, this sucks. No excuses, the Bills fell flat on their faces.

Yeah, those were some truly terrible quotes. We're all gassed, from working 40+hours a week, from following an underachieving team. A bunch of excuses coming from some players, and somebody needs to "B word slap" Diggs for walking out on his team. Yep, unless Josh Allen starts pointing fingers at his team mates like Jim Kelly did, there is no comparison.

Yep. I think they begged the league to move the Browns game to Detroit, instead of another outdoor venue that was available. Then, the dome in Atlanta that never happened. Hate to say it, last season WAS the SB season & they blew it.

I suppose playing NE & the NYJets twice skew the points allowed numbers. Sometimes matchups aren't kind. I think if the Chargers hung on last week, the Bills win a high scoring game this past weekend. Instead, you get the BenGals who have to play 6 games in the rugged AFC North. Yeah, the D got pushed around yesterday but I still can't believe the Bills only scored 10 points...that's way below their average.

The Bills presently are constructed like a Big 12 team, where the goal is to outscore the opponent. They're not alone in this philosophy, plenty of other teams do so. Doesn't mean it's correct. Get a better interior D line for starters. The BenGals exposed that weakness. The Chiefs would have as well.

Way too early AFC East 2023 predictions: Bills 10-6-1 NYJets 10-7 Miami 9-8 NE 8-8-1

Yes & no. Forgive me if this comparison is weird....the Browns. Maybe even the Raiders. Browns had the "it factor" in 2020. They still have a good roster, they're not far off. They kick Cincy's a$$ but can't beat the NFC South lol. The Raiders are a coach away from 11-6. The Bills have a lot of positives, don't give up. The Bills, hey they can still dominate the AFC East, that alone is a quick path to the playoffs. Miami is schizoid, the Jets need a QB, and the Pats aren't that good.

Tackling in the NFL generally sucks today. It's not unique to the Bills.

Bills are the Chargers of the 70s, Browns of the 80s right now. Great team, just not good enough. Last season's choke job in KC was the signal to change, but they were reluctant to do it.

Goodell tried to help us with that regarding next week. They failed

Sadly it should have been done after the blown KC game last year. Bills gambled & lost. It's not the 1st time an NFL team on the cusp of greatness blew it. *****

The camera girl is tough lol

The AFC North is a different brand of football honestly. Something the Bills should aspire to.

They haven't been the same since the Cle game IMHO. Came out flat vs the Browns, survived it somehow.

Ball is cradled. Replay wasn't designed for this crap, they look for stuff that's not there. Ruining football

Horrible call there folks. Cincy got royally screwed

BenGals taking it to 'em. They are neutralizing the neutral site

Ok, I turned to the bottle

I think the Bills are better but Goodell wants Bills-Chiefs in a dome 😶

Burrow is just too good

Over rated are the Chargers. Herbert has a nice arm, Ekeler is great. That's about it.
