The key is almost.. because i want them to win badly and do something special. But I'll rationalize an implosion as being a good thing because it will lead to change.

That's so true, they've turned him into an emotion-less, game managing robot. It's as if he will be given electroshock therapy if he throws a pick. It's time to break glass in case of emergency. He has the right to take off an run whenever he wants, make stuff happen on the fly...

That's an indicator of a coach that has lost the team so to speak. The posts we see on this board like "this team is stale" are accurate. I suspect the Miami Loss will scare them straight for a short period of time, much like the Atlanta loss did. They will work hard, prepare hard, practice hard...and show up vs Tampa, especially at home. The other issue is that the Bills really aren't that special plus the defensive injuries. When they go on the road and half-ass the game and the opponent is jacked up, it's a recipe for losses.

Sadly the Bills and their supposedly very good Oline cannot impose their will against some of these lesser teams. I think it’s attitude and preparation.

cool i had the Eagles +1

Panthers Bills Saints Titans Browns Falcons Bucs Thats the list of murderers row teams that NE has beaten on their streak. I give them credit for winning at Tampa off the Bucs bye week. That was well earned. I don’t think they are ready to beat the other experienced AFC teams in playoffs. I think they’d lose to any of them.

Brutally dull game so far. But i guess these defenses are not who you want to play in January. They are tough.

Since i have a wager on the Eagles that punch out was a gut punch.

The guys on WGR and Sal were discussing this earlier. They think behind closed doors the Bills are purposely playing the long game with Allen as McBeane often mentions the importance of keeping Josh healthy. They imply that they are going through the season, play him conservative, stay healthy. Of course you actually have to WIN games too and even assuming they get in, the road games will be brutal

I'd say they did it for Chiefs intel, lol. But that game is over. Last i checked he was returning kicks right? So it's just an admission they need to turn over every rock to try and juice up the passing game.

Yep. 50/50 WRs are nearing extinction. That skill is necessary for aging vets like a Mike Evans or Keenan Allen.. guys that have proven themselves to be great receivers over the years and now late into their careers. Keon should be getting F**king open!!!!

He could have stayed at the spot and picked Worthy, or selected Ladd with that first pick in round 2. But he took the worst of the three. Great job Beane.

I actually think the Bills offense will improve with Keon off the field. Samuel needs more targets too. People get on his case but he is a professional WR and Josh trusts him. He did well in the playoffs last season. Some big catches.

I agree with you. A few weeks ago I had this game a loss. But that was before the humiliation in Miami yesterday. Had they comfortably beaten the fins, I think this game would have been tricky. Now i believe the Bills will be re-focused, have a great week of practice and preparation. They play their best when media and fans are all over them. This should be a victory. Now with all that being said...if the Bills do lose this game, we'll know the season is likely cooked.

The black and gold fans got the same treatment as all those Bills fans at Miami. They traveled to watch their beloved team get humiliated. Sofi and Allegiant stadium in Las Vegas have turned into defacto home games for the opponents. I think the Rams might hold their own for their home games.
