Low Positive

I thought that players could come back in two months from a torn Achilles. Aaron Rodgers said it so it must be true.

Due to the injuries, they are going to sign some guys to the 53 from the PS. They will have open slots on the PS. They are taking a flyer here, but because the Bills lost on Sonday the sky is falling at TBD.

Josh Norman started 14 games in SF in 2021 so it's not like he's been out of football since he left Buffalo.

It's an end-of-the-roster PS signing and the season is over? How in the world do you people even get out of bed in the morning?

The season was ruined because the team signed a guy to the PS? Last year we signed a washed up Xavier Rhodes to the PS. Did that spell the end of the season?

Of course it’s the PS. He probably gets cut in a week or two.

We didn’t let him get away. He chose to go to Jacksonville. The rumor was that he wanted to work with another offensive system to bolster his chances of getting an OC job.

You would have to think PS to see if the time off rejuvenated him. The post doesn’t say he is signing to the 53. It’s a depth move for a guy that knows the system.

I'm a little confused. Reading your post, I see that the Bills played the Jets, Raiders, Commanders, and Jags. That's only 4 teams. How can that be? Did the BIlls get a week 4 bye? Something's missing.

I have never played football, but it's my understanding that it's tough to plug in a new OL midseason because they have to function as a unit. It takes an offseason to get them working together.

Well, there’s this MLB in CHI that I keep hearing good things about, but he just seems too young.

He probably has heated seats in his car, so I’m sure that he was in the hot seat on his ride home this morning.

That is very true. I also think that Chad Hall knowing the Bills playbook inside and out probably played a role in yesterday's game.

I'm not usually a person to blame things like this, but when the league itself admits that it was an "experiment" to see just how much of an advantage a team would have after being acclimated to time and place over a team that just flew in I get angry. They knew that they were giving the Jags an advantage in a game that was supposed to be a Bills home game. It turns out that it was a pretty big advantage. If they allow the Jags to play 8 games in a row in London next year, the Jags will win all 8 of them. As to your point, all teams show inconsistency on offense at times during the season. The Chiefs offense looks really shakey right now, but the difference is that they are winning ugly. In the two games where the Bills struggled, they didn't come through at the end to win the game. Really, only the two Shannahan system offenses are clicking every week right now through 5 weeks. That will change as the season progresses. The Bengals woke up yesterday. The Chiefs will start clicking and the BIlls will too.

I actually ate something during the game.

We might have lost to the Bengals, who match up really well against the Bills.

I agree with this somewhat. Neither season-ender was a turf injury. Milano got rolled up on and a torn pec had nothing to do with the field conditions.

The reason that we dislike them is simple. I don't know what European football you support, but imagine if the league forced them to fly to New York to play an October fixture that counts on a temporary field. All in the name of growing the brand in another country. We get exhibition tours every summer by English, Spanish, and German clubs, but no regular season fixtures or cup ties because that would be unthinkable.

The Jets have more fans in the national NFL media than any other team. Eisen, Rex, Greenberg, Boomer, Ian eagle, Charles Davis. There are probably others too.

They were. They were a drive away from back-to-back Super Bowls. In fact, you could argue that they played too angry on that last drive. Ask anyone in Cincinnati. The Bengals didn't lose. The refs gave the game to the Chiefs.

Of course that's true, but living in Cincinnati I saw how the collective anger of the entire city of Cincinnati drove the Bengals during the week leading up to the playoff game in Buffalo. I couldn't talk to people about the game because all I heard about was neutral site ticket refunds. And then you heard Burrow reference exactly that after the game. I think that they used it to fire them up and they took the entire city along for that ride.

Exactly!

We still have 8 homes games. This one was the 9th in the 17 week schedule.

They should have been really angry about it before the game. They should have been angry about it since the schedule release day. If the NFL did that to the Bengals or Dolphins, their players would have been all over the artist formerly known as Twitter complaining about it and they would have used that as motivation. The Bills, instead, always preach "accountability" and always blame themselves for every and all misfortune. I think that attitude has been passed over to the fans. The Bills moped on the sidelines after the Milano injury and TBD is holding a wake for the Bills 2023 season.

Every team has been doing that for the past few years. Both the Jags and Falcons flew over on the Thursday night redeye too. And that game was a slop fest until the 3rd quarter. But maybe the Bills should have flown over on Tuesday to mitigate some of the Jags advantage. I really don't know. I didn't think that it would matter, but now that we know that it was an "experiment" to see how much advantage a team would gain by staying there I have come around to the fact that it was a deciding factor.
