I've thought about this knowing it was a dream. We are too thin with resources to spend it on a superstar back. I think. But my, Jacobs and Cook would be a deadly backfield. And yes, it would make our offense very, very tough to stop. If we drafted a big-bodied WR with top-end speed plus a couple good O-lineman and signed Jacobs I would not be upset. In fact, it would be a season-long blue pill for my football-loving soul...

If we can get 7-9 sacks a year from AJ that would be some good balance to the line. He was 54th overall, so I don't think people are expecting great things from him but some decent sack numbers and good run D will justify the pick somewhat. At the beginning of this year I told myself we need one guy from the top three defensive end picks to make the leap to very good. I think Rousseau is doing that. To have AJ be an 8-sack kind of player would be good too.

12 & 3. Everyone would've signed up for that in August. Pros from today: Obviously the run game but what's nice is that we have two good backs we can rely on. Cook is now a weapon both running and catching. Very nice to see we have a home-run back on the squad now and other teams will know and fear that. Run defense. We held the number one rushing attack to just 80 rushing yards and we held a thousand-yard rushing QB to just 11 yards. People complain a lot about bad rush D and yes, we have bad series here and there, but look at the final results and how can you not admire that. And with a six-man box too. No major injuries that I've heard of. For this team, this year, this point in the season, that's huge. A good McDermott challenge. That took points away from the Bears. Good to see and hopefully the start of a trend. We got more reps outside in brutal weather — that's good for us playing at home in January. We won with a crap Josh. Yes, against the Bears but we won decisively. Cons: Josh's decision making. He's lost about 30 IQ points compared with the early part of the season. He can get it back. And if he says the second pick was the wind, I'll have to believe him. He was crap and doesn't take the easy and short stuff the D is giving him but I don't think this will be a trend. It's good to learn hard lessons in victories right now. Didn't use Diggs enough. But that may be related to the point above. That said, we complain when we lean on Diggs, and today we won big without him. This may be an neutral point rather than a con. Go Bills! And Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah or any other celebration (happy weekend for the heathens) in your life. Be well and enjoy where we are at. 🍻

Indeed. I value the Bears game as good practice for playing at home in January. And yes, great to see we can win with the run game and when Josh has a bad game. To win it all we need both the run game working and good Josh. It's possible.

You could be right. But the chances of the Bears getting 15 points in a minute is next to nil. Cheifs, maybe; Bears, I don't think so. But if the old Pats did this to us you know there would be complaints about it.

Some stat padding there. If I were the Bears I'd be pis$ed. But I'm a Bills fan so I'm feeling all right!

That should be 100 for Cook!

Wouldn't a 100-yard game for both Motor and Cook be awesome?

Great play by Epenesa; that was not a clean-up sack.

Congrats to Motor. That's a hell of a bad streak for no 100-yard rushers.

That swing pass to Hines for a first down: we should have a handful of those every game. That's on Josh.

Milano could get votes an a poll for MVP of the Bills thus far this season.

After a poor start the run D is looking very good.

Forget MVP of the league conversations; I'm seriously wondering if Josh would win MVP of the Bills at this point in the season.

Is White a good player again? 🤔

Good discipline from Milano there. Bears are frustrated...

Does that roll count? Amazing!!!

I missed the last 7 or 8 realtime minutes to go to a store... anyone give me a quick recap since the Bears had the ball? thanks!

Cook has arrived. Perfect timing, a few games before the playoffs.

Who is this Kingsley cat? Anyone with the same name as one of the best post-war British fiction writers is good with me.

Relax, don't pass it, when you wanna pass, run it, when you wanna run...

Huge run by Cook! His detractors can eat a whole lot of crow. The game's slowing down for him and he is a legit weapon.

I guess your against di***s too. So no ice di***s? [in Ali G voice] "I once saw this really fit bird with an ice di** and it was really sumfing, man. Until it, like, melted."

We can get by without Morse this week: the Bears D-line has 8.5 sacks TOTAL thus far this season. That's ridiculously low and could be a record. But I'm not optimistic that after six documented concussions that he's coming back any time soon; and I would not be shocked if this was the end for him.

This has likely been mentioned and discussed but the Bears D line has 8.5 sacks total this year. Yes, 8.5 sacks for everyone on the D line. That must be some kind of record this far into a season. Good week for Morse to be recovering (if he comes back at all). Josh should still have a lot of time in the pocket.
