Maybe so, but Fear is the mind killer.

I am reliably informed that Belichick was caught taking a dump in the corner.

This actually backs PromoTR's point. The Bills just performed the first offensive performance where the offence could not be stopped. No 4th downs all game. This should be lauded as the extraordinary feat that it is. Instead the achievement is largely unrecognised in the media. Simply saying the game was "the best offensive performance of the year" is a gross understatement that totally lacks the gravity of the achievements context.

We may lose, but until we do I am considering our team THE team to beat....and by a wide margin. 👍

We can lose this game...just as any game can be lost, but I feel this thread is sadly showing the trauma that has been inflicted on many Bills fans over the last couple of decades. We have the #1 D in the LEAGUE and are coming off the NFLs first ever perfect offensive game....against a *Legendary* defensive minded HC with a top 5 D. .....and we are up against a bottom 10 D in the Chiefs. We may lose, but until we do I am considering our team THE team to beat....and by a wide margin. We are going to steamroller through the rest of the post-season in a manner never before seen....crushing all contenders as if they were mere pretenders! Go Bills! 🏆

The Win

That was the most fun I've ever had watching a Football game. Even better than The Comeback. Go Bills!

It scared me in more than a few games this season.

Until ESPN makes the QBR formula public I will assume there isn't one.

If we can't beat this 2020 Dolphins team while down only 2 starters....we don't deserve to win. 🙄

Top 5 are our last 5 1st round picks. That's actually quite extaordinary.

Though I am not an accomplished multi-scam cheater like those in NE, I think that if I was organizing this I would set up a legit crew to do the doco segments....AND have a crew go to cover my scout guy every week as well. If we are ever caught, regardless of the week, we claim we are filming the doco..."Look here are some previous episodes to show it's all legit." The payoff isn't the Bengals game. The payoff is EVERY game. They just happened to get caught this week. Like I said, I'm no mastermind scammer, but if this can work in week 14 against the Bengals(getting a crew in the box), I would certainly be doing it at every "scout" game....if I was a big old cheater that is.

I blame Professors Dunning and Kruger for all of this.

Yards?

I don't know if it's only international, but try NFL gamepass. You can buy a 7 day pass.

I think the probowl voting should start before the preseason so there isn't any football news to distract one from making the right decision with one's vote.

I can't speak for the rest of the fanbase, but personally I would be happy if we drafted a QB in the 1st round every 2nd or 3rd year till we find our franchise QB. This year is not one of those 2nd or 3rd years(due to TT).

My appologies, I can see that I wasn't exactly clear. I was not referring to finding a backup QB. I should have said "QBs who become good starters for many years". I have no problem with people wanting to draft a QB after pick 36 in order to find a serviceable backup. But people should keep in mind that a serviceable backup QB is not a good QB. Odds of finding a good QB after pick 36 are extremely slim.

I'm still ropeable that we passed on Brady back in 2000. Oh, the stupidity continues.

I think it safe to assume that the Bills won't(shouldn't) draft a QB in the 1st round this year. As 2016 is the season where we make a decision on TT's future, a 1st round pick on a QB now could potentially be a huge waste of resources. In the past 30 years there has only been 2 QBs drafted after the top 36 picks that have seen a second contract with their drafting team(Brady, Wilson). Those resources(picks 37+) are by far more likely to find you a Darby or Kyle Williams than a solution at QB.

Yes and no. Though it's true that the rookie contracts will come to $5M+, the cap typically is not impacted to anywhere near that amount. The cap is determined from the top 51 contracts. At the moment our #51 contract is giving us a $0.45M cap hit. The lower round cap hits don't come to that level so they would not push up our cap expenditure in any way....and the high rounds would be added into the list of 51, thus pushing the $0.45M cap hit out of the top 51. In essence, the #2 draft pick who would likely get about $1M would only effect the cap by around $0.5M.

I would think that if there was a non public plan which involved retooling the D, cutting Mario, etc....then Whaley could easily be in lockstep with Rex(as reported). I find it difficult to imagine Whaley being happy with Rex if the plan was what was projected from OBD a year ago.

Meh, Pegs is cheap.

This is not correct.
