Where are all the people who were mad we didn't put a claim in for Gordon?

Speaking of which, did anyone else seem to notice last night Ben looks like he may be pushing 290lbs right now?

False.

Mini-Belicheat this time so he doesn't get spotted...

Thanks for the 2, Eric@PFF, we see you big guy

I don't understand how people change teams, unless you're a kid. Their minds are all over the place. But once you get to be about 13 or 14, it's almost blasphemous imo. I have players that I have liked on other teams and rooted for the individual, but the Bills have and always will be my team whether winning, losing, or perpetually 7-9. The lows of fandom in any sport make you relish the high's. I can't wait to watch all of the Pats fans jump ship once their years of suck ensue and the stadium begins to be half empty.

Amazing the amount of talent on that team, especially on the offensive side of the ball, but they are worse this year than last. Too many egos in the locker room and coach in over his head. Just when they thought they were on the come up, the Browns are likely closer to being the Browns once again.

Personally, I believe it was quite intentional to give them the extra 40 seconds on the clock. I'm surprised McDermott didn't blow a gasket last night like he did the week before to be honest. This stuff is really getting old. I understand that we aren't media darlings or a part of the propaganda machine, but at least be square with us. The last 3 we have REALLY played the opponents and the officiating, still with 2 wins to show for it against teams that most people didn't expect us to beat on the road.

That's what I thought as well. The hit sounded funny when he made the tackle. Glad it was just the pads popping and not the bone breaking.

And they all are like this...

Agreed. Three of the absolute toughest defenses in the NFL right now. I want to see what Belicheat has in store for us this week and in turn how Josh handles. I'm hoping Daboll has learned something the last 4 weeks about whom he should have on the field and situational awareness as to using that personnel. I'd really like to see Yeldon be active as I think he can be more effective at this point than Gore. Not saying that Gore should be inactive, but Yeldon is younger, more athletic, and more of a threat imo. I just think he offers more on offense.

Earlier this year, before the offseason program got going after the draft, I had a gut feeling this team would be special. We already had the defense, remade the OL, got a few pieces on offense for Josh, and Allen was getting a full slate of work knowing he was going into the season as the Bills starting QB. You could feel the energy last year when he was on the field. The team was different. They rallied around him like no QB I can remember in Buffalo since Kelly. He has that "it" factor and you have seen it in the numerous comebacks via that clutch gene he has shown. This defense, with Edmunds starting to REALLY come into his own and Tre becoming one of the ELITE CB's in this league, is starting to get the feel of that nasty defense we had in the late 90's. This team is dangerous and you can bet, like I stated in a thread made before, no one wants to see us in January. Let's talk about Josh Allen and this offense. He has markedly improved over last season for sure. All of the numbers and even the eye test tell you that. Even still the narrative was on full display last night, the same narrative a fellow poster made a thread about earlier last week a few days prior to the game. The talk about Josh being inaccurate and the Nancy's slurping it up like the last jello shot which they spilled on a counter top. There is no NFL QB who throws the ball perfectly on every single play, not one. Bottom line is if the ball hits you in the hands squarely enough and you are getting paid to catch the football, then you damn well need to catch the football. I have seen Jackson's, Wilson's, Rodgers', Murray's, Hodges', Prescott's, Mahomes', Brady's, Minshew's, Fitzpatrick's, and a host of other QB's make the same throws, but their guys come up with the ball so they receive praise for the throw they just made. Allen makes the same throws, but his guys drop passes at the highest clip in the NFL, and the tv personalities/media/some people on this board want to blame Allen then talk about how inaccurate he is. It is the ABSOLUTE BIGGEST double standard I see out there right now. Is every throw perfect or is he perfect? Absolutely not, but in no way does it hold the water they want you to believe. It's just like Josh getting blamed for getting cheapshotted out of the game against the Pats. There are a ton of absolutely asinine statements in regards to Josh on a weekly basis, mixed in with some that are legit. This is the 4th week in a row that Josh has faced a top 6, OR BETTER, NFL ranked defense. He and we as a team are 3-1 with him having 2 good games and 2 iffy ones, two of those four games coming on National TV and on the road. The game against the Ravens we had a chance even until the final play of the game. The last two (Ravens & Steelers) were also against very aggressive, attacking defenses that blitzed basically every other play. Josh has been under more duress the last two weeks than at any point this season since the first Patriots game. Last night's game especially being against the NFL's league leading team in sacks. He didn't fold and he didn't look like he did against the Pats in either game. It may not be pretty all the time, but he is shaking off the negative things that happen much better this year as the season progresses and doing whatever it takes to win games. We could go on for lengths about Daboll's play calling or personnel choices at times, McDermott's overly conservative nature at times, and a host of other things, but I am trying to keep from having a 5 scroll down type of post. One thing that has been proven in the NFL, more often than not, is defense wins championships. We have a championship caliber defense right now. Statistically, we held Lamar Jackson to his lowest total yardage output of the season. Not SF in the rain, not Seattle, not Cleveland, not KC, not New England, but this Buffalo Bills defense did. This was with 61 of his passing yards coming on a busted coverage which resulted in a TD. Edmunds is starting to become a monster in the middle for this defense and a complete LB. Tre is an elite CB in this league and we NEED TO PAY the man now. Milano is filling his role well. Oliver has come on the last few weeks. Shaq is playing lights out right now. Star has been playing well. Phillips has been eating guys alive on the interior. Hell, we've even had a couple of Trent Murphy sightings the last few weeks. The guys we have added to the interior rotation in Liuget and Taylor, everyone is contributing. This defense is starting to really put it all together and it is coming at the perfect time. You want to be playing your best football closing out the regular season so hopefully you can ride that wave through the playoffs. Well right now that wave is coming wearing red, white, and blue while the rest of the NFL has no idea of the force behind it when it hits you. Everyone wants to focus on numbers. Josh's numbers, sack numbers, the numbers of the teams we have played on our schedule along with their records, and whatever else you want to throw in. Outside of the Eagles game, where we just let that one completely get away, every loss has come down to the final possession as have some of our wins. One L against the Pats with Barkley at the helm to close it out, Josh having us in the lead with the defense taking the field against the Browns where we give up the TD in the last minutes of the game, and the game against Baltimore where it came down to a 4th down pass attempt to John Brown that was thoroughly detailed in a video. This team as a whole and this defense give us a chance to be ANY team in the NFL every time we step on the field. Despite any deficiencies we may have in different areas be it on offense, coaching, whatever, this team is already at the point where we can win now and that is exactly what they keep doing despite the ones expecting us to fail.

I must have said "***** you Collinsworth" or "Shut the ***** up Collinsworth" at least 400 times combined. My 14 year old asked, " How did he get this job?"

Wade Wilson wasn't it?

Just don't drive yourself. Uber is your friend

He's Pennington without the experience or smarts. Noodle arm.

What? If anything now is the time they can just go out and play free. No more pressure because we are in. Let Josh sling it 50 times a game if they want. Let go of the conservative play calling and see what they can do.

Hodges, so much better than Allen. PFFahahahahahah. Playoffs here we come!!!

Playoffs *****

Come on defense
