Oh no, Orlovsky on ESPN says the Bills are on “upset alert” this Monday. Beware.

I do not buy the trap game angle,,, as they had their "trap game" scares when they were huge favorites over Miami and NO and both games were tied or barely ahead in the 4th Qtr. Like every recent season, I think the Bills fall victim to their regular season "greatness" and how Vegas and media anoint them as SB favorites. The players since week 1 feel like no matter how iffy the game is going, they will pull it out at the end...because they are the Buffalo Bills. Well guess what, when the opponent wants the game more than you? a comeback is not always going to happen. McDermott does a nice job trying to keep the guys humble and hungry but it's human nature as a player to think your team is awesome and nothing bad will happen. They forgot about attention to detail in the NE game, and how hard they need to outwork the opponent. Simple as that.

This whole strategy by Buffalo pisses me off. It's the same as the AFCCG game last season. I believe the Bills had just tied it 29-29. I told my son, play to win and don't let KC dink and dunk down the field easily for a FG and maybe a TD. Then of course we allow it by playing soft and then everyone considers it a "win" because they only allowed KC a FG to go up 32-29. NO, it was a Loss...because we allowed them to take a lead with 2:30 remaining. And you aren't going to get down the field easily against a good defense in their house., which was proven to be the case.

Yes. in the long run the Bills will be proven right by having smaller capacity. It will be fine. In the short run, while the team is very good and with the novelty of wanting to experience the new stadium... fans will pump of the prices of tickets on the secondary markets to extremely high levels. Speaking of high prices, I just paid $300/ea for the Saints game tickets, lower level corners and the Bucs and Chiefs are way more. So the outrageous prices are in full swing to say goodbye to Rich Stadium.

It's fun.. the threads about retiring Mr. Brightside, being tired of everyone eats, never wearing the rivalry jersey again, etc. are hilarious.

At times it sounds like a cop-out type of slogan. Like we don't have a legit #1 WR downfield so let's call it "everyone eats" so all the receivers buy in and Allen isn't pressure to throw the ball to anyone specifically. I mean let's be real, "everyone eats" does not apply to the RB room. James Cook eats 5-star meals every week in the running and passing game but the other RB's go starving,,,, because they don't produce!

There was a famous head coach...I forget who, that said any head coach lifespan is 10 years max, regardless of how well they do. They have an expiration date.

The smaller capacity is not that big a deal. I'm sure they could sell 75-80,000 seats today because the Bills are a white hot commodity in the Josh Allen era. But it's not too long ago at all there would be swaths of upper deck seats empty. Anyway, even in the lean years at the new stadium (over the next 30 years) there will still be demand. The Bears Stadium today only holds 61,500. Detroit, Vegas, Arizona and Washington are all less than 65,000. Miami, Cinci, Minnesota, New Eng and Indy are all in the 65-67K range. I'm tired of hearing how the Bills screwed over the fans by lowering capacity.. Jeez, buy a season ticket or save up and buy some tickets on the secondary market, stop complaining and enjoy. This ain't Dallas or Los Angeles here.

The few times i’ve watched Penix i’ve been so unimpressed. But i’m guessing with the Bills hands-off cushiony secondary he will have a nice completion %. Someone needs to step up with a pick. Thats what happened to him in the Panthers game.

Yep. he didn’t go by record with this shtick. It eye test. and throughout the show he think KC has a very good O an solid D. Once they button it up. Conversely he is very down on the Bills. Which maybe is perfect, they play better with a chip on their shoulders

Yeah, he's still bullish on KC. Says despite the score KC has their best offense in a couple years. Bad pick six and penalties cost em but thinks they will be a big factor in January.

Nick Wright made a good point today on one of the morning shows.. He was talking about Baker Mayfield in that the Bucs can live with an INT per game because they push the ball down the field and make up for it with explosives. So it may end up being a 3 to 1 ratio. He brought up how the Bills were like this with Allen prior to last season.. The turnovers were not as harmful as the numbers because they made up for it easily. But if the team gets conservative, you can't turn it over at all, that will kill you. The Bills have been way too conservative, especially in the first half of their games this season.

Cowherd did his Herd Hierarchy today after week 5. His week to week rankings. He dropped the Bills from 2 to #7 this week. His comments - Bills don't look right - Defensively they just can't stop the run. Poor in the secondary - Not too worried about the O, but lacking the jet fuel they've had in recent years.. something is off. - Watching vs NE, very surprised how quickly the Pats closed the gap on Buffalo in the AFC East 10. Indy 9. LA Rams 8. SF 7. Buf 6. GB 5. KC 4. Phil 3. Den 2. TB 1. Det

For a couple years there, the organization was getting criticized for not have any big bodies for Josh to throw to....but then speed became the flavor of the month. So now we have a bigger body who can't separate.

Trading season in the NFL is underway as teams start needing help/

I feel bad for the Falcons...having to play the Bills coming off a tough loss. This will be the very scrappy, buttoned up version of the Bills. McDermott is good at these type of games coming off a sloppy bitter defeat. I'll bet certain members of the Atlanta organization were rooting for the Bills to beat NE so they could ambush em on MNF.

I’m old enough to remember a big Keon fumble inside the Miami 10 yard line last season and then again Sunday night. A lot of us in real time preferred Worthy or McConkey that night.

For some reason, this version of the Chiefs looks better from the eye test than last years version of the Chiefs. But last year they were 11-0 in one score games and this year they are 0-3 in those games. I feel like Mahomes is playing rejuvenated, all the RB's run like they are on fire, the WR's have speed across the board, Kelce is contributing and the defense while not as good as last year, appears solid and aggressive. The big difference is Patty has thrown an uncharacteristic INT or two... and they are getting derailed with some bad penalties and special teams. That stuff can be cleaned up though. I think KC will be there at the end unfortunately but hopefully Buffalo can take them out.

My guess....he got blackout drunk plus a side dish of CTE symptoms. There's just no way to explain why a man with no history of this would become unhinged like the reports are saying. There was no reason for him to even be where he was or say anything to the old guy who was working.

I see a jersey that i was within one day of dropping $150 for.... but now I can keep my $150 because i wouldn't wear that rag.

Lions coming in with both CB’s being injured indefinitely. Big time secondary issues there.

I washed this game off. Everyone loses a few games. Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, Ravens, Packers, Bills, etc.. No one is perfect. The guys won’t rack up penalties and turn it over like that on the same night for a while.

The thing is, you can’t feed them all simultaneously. one bad play screws up a drive regardless of how many speedy dudes they have

KC losing all the one score games that they won last year. everything evens out eventually

Horrible loss for KC being up 14-0
