Holy sh it, Mahones is Black!!! I thought he was spanish?

Honestly the kermit thing is not big deal. Hanging him I don't like. Never got the kermit reference anyway...always saw Mahones as more of a sideshow bob.

At least he didn't name this topic: 'Serious question, what's up with...

Great, more 4th down attempts for the Chiefs offense...just what I was hoping for.

I take everything bad I said about him 'resting'. Go Cooper (lol).

Thanks for sharing, I now understand what the league was talking about when they named Josh the top trash talker. When asked about it on McAfee's show, he said it wasn't always with words. That too short symbol was some subtle trash talk, now I get what he meant.

Yeah, two cheap shots I'll never forget: Gronkowski and Landry, Intent to injure goes against the code (while we can't know or prove intent, no one will ever convince me these two didn't have bad intentions, honorable mention to Poyer on Keon).

Just hope that doesn't result in a harder path to the AFC championship game (once there they are all tough). After a game I look like this...

...not to mention his field goal kicking is an embarrassment! In all seriousness, I always thought he was a mildly entertaining buffoon, but never associated him with Buffalo. Even though it was known fact, it just seemed he wasn't from Buffalo. A bit like your place of birth, you might be born there but that doesn't mean you identify as 'being from there'.

Best Miami can hit is actually 11. At this point it seems like the Bills will be the first to clinch a playoff spot. What will be more interesting (to me), will be tracking the Chiefs to figure out how casually the Bills approach the end of the year (as it relates to the possibility of the #1 seed in the east). Everything starts this weekend, you lose this game and it wouldn't surprise me if the Bills took a rest and relax approach at the expense of the #2 seed.

Cooper and DeShawn Watson must have the same agent. Medically cleared to play, but doesn't wanna play. When you hear guys like Khalil Shakir fighting through pain to play (from some very obvious nasty hits), I always wonder how the players in the locker room reconcile that. I too, think the key is his availability for the playoffs...but if I were on the field fighting through injuries (which many are at this point in the season), not sure how I'd feel about a guy medically cleared to play that was resting. Morale and chemistry will overlap into the playoffs...plus your superstar QB plays through injuries all the time.

Two things I can never understand: 1) Offensive holding calls against Bills vs calls against their opponents and... 2) Kicker success FG rates against the the Bills (notwithstanding the snake bitten Jets). Seems like every game the Bills need to be better than their opponent by a wide enough margin to account for guaranteed imbalance in calls and guaranteed late FGs by their opponents. It's a testament to how often they've outplayed their opponents that these are both true this year and they are still 8-2! Replays of bad calls are making me want to listen to game on the radio rather than watch it on TV, ignorance is bliss.

Honestly, I would love a game with few penalties called (even on both teams). I don't care if they let the Chiefs get away with holding, just please for god's sake no mysterious non-penalties called on the Bills! If I have to watch Mahones celebrating by jumping in the air on of a b.s. call, I'm going to hurl.

Funny during last week's game, the announcer's said the saints would be 90 million over the cap next year. 90 vs 43 makes the gap closer, plus the Browns are one Watson misstep away from being able to use personal conduct clauses to get out of that contract... Can we add the Jets to the poll, they're a lot more fun to watch implode!

I think Flacco is a tougher matchup then Richardson. He (Richardson) only seems to have a deep ball, which our defense is well designed to take away. That said, as others have said it shouldn't matter. If we can't handle the Flacco-led Colts, I may want to take a break from watching the Bills play for the next month... The Bills are a hard team to figure out. They are consistently above average as manifest by their high point differential, which seems to be a McDermott trademark during his tenure; however they are capable of really ugly losses. They remind me NBA teams that have regular season records that are higher than their actual talent level. They are usually well coached, highly disciplined and more consistent and win by out grinding their opponents, but in the playoffs when their opponents match their intensity they are just not as good as advertised. Sound familiar? I sincerely hope I'm wrong and there is a lot of football to play (with perhaps Milano returning), but how can we feel confident about making a deep playoff run with this run Defense in January - February?
