Very touching and illuminating. I don't always agree with McDermott's football decisions (however, many of them I do agree with) but, as with Dion, Sean has my respect as a human being forever.

I F****** LOVE Bill Burr. This is great. He's rooting for the BIlls: "When is God gonna let these f****** people stand upright?" (Referring to all the tragedies happening to Buffalo). Thanks!!!

Well, so much for afternoon drinking on a Wednesday. Deleted post. Thanks.

He had a very good body of work with the Jets before he came to the BIlls. People are judging him on a very small sample size and will be proven wrong. Hey, I could be wrong, but that's my prediction. Crow tastes damn good when served with a Buffalo win.

Really unbelievable. But after a year of so much bad news and pain, the pendulum had to swing to the other side at some point. I'm calling it here: Crowder will make a substantial difference on the field during the playoffs (if he plays a game): our slot position will be far more productive with him than without. Might not happen this week (if he plays) but by the divisional round, yes, everyone will be glad Crowder came back.

If Edmunds feels he's worth somewhere in the $16 to $18 million a year range based on this, I would rather use that money on O-lineman. Not saying Edmunds doesn't help our D; he does. But we have very limited cap space and need to make hard decisions as to what part of the team needs to be maintained or fortified and which part can go without. I don't think a middle linebacker in today's game is worth that kind of money when you're pushed against the cap and have glaring weaknesses on offense, especially protecting your quarter-billion-dollar QB.

I want to see Burrow and others get paid as much as possible — it means less capital to keep/improve the competition, especially as we have our QB locked up. But I agree that some teams will be wary about guaranteed money. It won't go away but it may be lessened for some QBs.

Fair enough. I get people are upset and need to express it (this is a message board); I'm just suggesting we accept what is and what we can control and look forward. Let's destroy the fish, rest our starters with a big lead, and escape that game with no injuries. Go Bills!!!!

Sorry, but your logic does not preclude any other Bills from getting injured for over 3 and a half quarters of football if they were to have played the rest of the game. The fact is the Bills didn't play over 3 and a half quarters of football. So not exactly a bye but they missed the vast majority of the game. The truth is they didn't play anywhere near to a full football game against Cinci. Is this the ideal outcome? No. but I think it's reasonable and choose to move on. Others can continue to feel victimized by it if that helps them process their emotions or get through the week.

Buffalo essentially had a bye week by not playing over 3 and a half quarters of football. Yes, we had a devastating injury but you're kidding yourself if you think other serious injuries couldn't have occurred with the time remaining. How would you feel if in the third quarter of that game Morse gets concussed again? Or Diggs gets a high ankle sprain? Or Milano gets hurt? It could have happened. Accept it and be glad we don't go to Arrowhead this post season. Life isn't fair. Move on.

Davis is cheap labor for 2023 but I really hope he's not given the number 2 job outright — I'd love to see someone brought in (draft in all likelihood as we don't have the bucks for a big free agent signing) and some real competition for the number two spot during offseason. Would McDermott choose to make a fourth-year player fight for his third-year roster spot?

OP, good call! You suffered through some ridicule but you were right. Well done!!! 🍻

I know you're being sarcastic but the point may be that after 3 years this is what we're gonna get. He's on a cheap contract next year but I don't know if the Bills extend him — or if they should. He needs to step it up. However, like with Edmunds, I'm not sure the age factor plays any more. After multiple years in the pros I think you're mostly seeing what a player is and will be. Yes, incremental progress is possible but I'm not holding out for significant improvement. I think we fell in love with an idea that Gabe can be dominant after the KC playoff game but it's now looking like an outlier and not close to what he is most Sundays.

This is Gabe's third year though.

Hopefully zero injuries... And injury status?

Godd*** Davis. Not a number two and not clutch at all.

Milano and Diggs are the two best Bills this year.

This is the Knox we need for the playoffs.

Unbelievable! Brown still has wheels — and hands!!!! Great throw and better catch!!!

Great play by Knox — we need another weapon to emerge now, especially with Davis being so undependable.

Hines might single-handedly get us the number 2 seed.

He's running a lot harder for tough yards this year but turnovers and lack of the extra gear hurt.

Really impressed with Cook — he has the sure hands he was drafted for and the speed, but he also can run up the middle and move forward when tackled. Many here didn't expect that. Good to see. The Bills are gonna unleash the run game in full measure now...

Way to go Knox AND Oline.
