Same. And he has been making more big plays (knocking down or tipping passes) even if he isnt making the INTs. I dont know that we can afford him, but I have no concerns if Beane decides to pay him.

Forget 4th and 2, we need to be talking about "2nd and 2". THREE DRIVES IN A ROW to start the second half, the Bills got to 2nd and 2... and STALLED. Couldnt pick up 6 feet, on 2-3 tries.

The entire Defensive side of the ball. Can our #1 D stop their decent O? And can our hampered O move the ball on their sucky D? Not a bad match up even without Allen.

It doesnt matter which QB. If the Vikings spend even 1 snap preparing for another QB, then McD is winning the chess game. NFL teams have such limited practice time and reps during the week, anything we can do to waste even minutes or seconds simply THINKING there might be a different QB is a win.

Considering it doesnt matter what us fans think, I think most of us are simply hoping for the best but planning/expecting the worst. What else can we do?

Loved this dude when I was a kid in the 80s. Saw him play Melody Fair a few times. Perfect humor for 7-10 year olds. Lot of happy memories of renting his specials and seeing him live. RIP

Exactly.

Show me a team that doesnt have a significant drop off when their Franchise QB is out, and I'll show you a team with a bad Franchise QB.

The Dolphins sent their franchise QB back out when he had brains leaking out of his ears. The Bills rest guys who brush their teeth too hard and accidentally make their gums bleed.

Ah thanks for the detail

Edit: I am wrong here. I don think so. It will likely require surgery to fix. But isnt necessary to fix until the offseason. Much like Thurman Thomas tearing his ACL 80% in college, but never wanting to take time off to repair it, so he played his ENTIRE pro career on a 20% ligament.

Why? He doesnt get injured running the ball. He actually gets more injured throwing from the pocket as we see here.

You mean like how they adapted into a Defense that rushed less than 4 and baited the other #1B QB in the NFL into throwing a game-sealing INT to our Defense? Getting home with only rushing 4 is the biggest key to winning for any defense. Blitzing only opens you up to the hot routes and big plays. The few times we have blitzed, we were taken advantage of in that exact way. Defense isnt the problem. But they moved the ball from the 20 yard line to the other 20 yard line AT WILL. Cant win games letting teams score a whopping 3 points!

Yall can go with your guts, but I'm listening to my plums. Theyve never steered me wrong yet.

Hilarious what constitutes "ass handing" around here nowadays. Bills fans got so spoiled so quickly. Any other team dares to compete with us and keep it a close game and all of a sudden we had our asses handed to us.

It was the same weekend too (Nov 7th), and the same 2nd game after the Bye week. Almost a mirror image from last year where we came out of the bye flat, managed to survive the first game by dominating a lesser team, then laid an Offensive egg the next.

Doesnt tell us anything, and neither will Josh. I'm guessing he opens with a disclaimer of "Still waiting on test results, working through some soreness, taking it day by day, blahblahblah" and then they move on to talking about movies and stuff. Not like Kyle is going to put him on the hot seat.

Happy Birthday, Dude!

Look at it this way, the team needs the fans and the 12th man now more than ever.

Nothing new. One day at a time. Test results tomorrow. Will have updates Wednesday. I'm just gonna knock myself out for 48 hours.

Any links to McD's presser?

At least he gets paid to do that. What's our excuse?

Miami is definitely stacking talent and helping turn the AFC East into the premier division in our conference. However, I'm still not too worried about beating them in head-to-head match ups where they arent harnessing the power of 1,000,0000+ nuclear bombs to slow down the Bills. The one thing I AM kinda, sorta worried about is the fact that the NFL would love to have Miami, as a market, succeed. And the Super Bowl storyline of "The Battle of Bama-teammate QBs, Hurts v Tua", might be so tempting that the Phins start getting all the calls in games and in the playoffs. Other than that, with neutral or Buffalo weather, we crush them.

Glad to see Hughes is still playing well and making the most of his time in Houston. Good for Jerry.
