I simply do not understand the refusal to run the football

Cards are favored. And they will lose.

I think Daboll’s success in NY bodes well for the McDermott coaching tree. If the Bills continue to win, Dorsey will be “one and done” as the Bills’ OC. I think Frazier may get a shot, too…

At the end of the 2020 season, the Colts had a really strong roster; the only reason the Bills beat them in the wildcard game is that we had Josh Allen and they had Philip Rivers (even though Rivers played well in that game). Their decline can be traced directly to giving up a first round draft pick for Carson Wentz, who was literally the worst starting QB in the league in 2020. The Ryan deal was not as bad, but still more of the same. And yes, Reich absolutely deserves a lot of the blame.

Name two backup QBs right now who are better than Case Keenum.

As of now, there has never been an NFL quarterback with Josh’s combined running and passing ability. At some point, Josh will start to decline as a running threat, but will remain an elite QB for years after that. I’d say the next 3-4 seasons is the Bills’ window with peak Josh Allen, but their Super Bowl window will remain open for many years after that, with a somewhat less dynamic, but still elite, JA.

Not very generous, calling Hurts borderline top 10. I mean, who’s definitely better right now, besides Allen and Mahomes (and maybe Burrow)?

Unfortunately, the Bills never had Willis McGahee pre knee injury...

Hard to top Seattle trading two firsts and a third to the Jets for a safety.

When did we waive him? When T White was activated?

Oh yeah, how about the Jets’ 2018 draft? Or the Browns’ 2018 draft? Or the Giants’ 2018 draft?

Fair enough. I see forecasts like that all the time, but I rarely see any follow-up to see how the forecast actually turned out. I would also assume that the accuracy of such forecasts varies considerably, depending which part of the world and what time of year you're talking about ...

Nice!!! (that I'll be able to watch the Bills from home) But Rams v. Tampa Bay is simply an awful nationally-televised late game. Good lord....

I'm not trying to be a wise guy, but what's your basis for saying that?

I guess the question is, How accurate are these sorts of long-range weather forecasts? My guess is that they're not worth the bandwidth they're written on.

Yes!!! I’ve always liked Hines. Very dangerous runner…

I will be forever grateful to Bradley Chubb for being the player John Elway coveted more than Josh Allen. What a dunce….

On the other hand, the Bears traded Roquan Smith to the Ravens after we played the Ravens and before we play Chicago.

And traded to a division rival...crazy.

I knew Jones was a good back, but man, last night he played like his hair was on fire. Best performance I’ve seen by an opposing back in forever.

This sort of ugly game was entirely predictable. Packers were a desperate team, with a HOF QB and plenty of talent on defense (no. 1 ranked pass defense in the league). They are a team that’s won 13 games, 3 years in a row…not a team likely to mail it in against a team like Buffalo, on national TV. This was never going to be a walkover. I’m just glad the Bills came out on top. In previous years, they would have lost a game like this.

Cook is “a dimension like that”. He just needs the opportunity. He’s looked better each week.

Two plays, very poorly schemed. GB has the worst run defense in the league.

Play calling has been deplorable. Absolutely no reason to be throwing this much against this team. I simply do not understand it.

Same way Metcalf lasted to the end of second. NFL scouts and GMs love to outsmart themselves.
