Paup 1995MVP

The play of the O line has been the biggest awakening. In pass protection and especially in establishing a physicality in our run blocking. Do I dare say that Ryan Bates has been the catalyst this offense needed to bring a physical presence. Go Bills!!

i don't see Watson playing well in the cold. He is a southern boy who played at Clemson and in Houston. Big difference playing in NE.

That we are in the Super Bowl conversation is beautiful. Need a big game from Josh tomorrow nite to get his confidence up. Then we will be ready to take it to KC and likely Tennessee!!

I was watching some of the Jets-Texans game about a month and a half ago because I had bet the Texans. (They were at home and the Jets are lousy) Tyrod was their QB, and I started watching about 5 min into the second half. He did not get one first down the entire rest of the game. Could not complete a 5 yard out. He was terrible. And the Jets came back won the game and I lost my bet. That being said, I thought Culley got the most out of that crap team. That's a tough place to coach. I think he was better then Joe Judge for whatever that's worth. LOL

I agree Roy Batty. I am fine calling players by their real names. You call your friends or relatives nicknames sometimes. People you are close to. Otherwise an actual name is fine. The topics on Two Bills Drive have pretty much spun into nothingness. (this being a perfect example) Noone talks about hardcore football anymore. The Bills, other teams, football history. It really is quite boring to be honest. You want football watch All Madden on Fox. That's real football. Who cares about nicknames. You have to earn that distinction. The only one that matters is LT.

No its not. The Chiefs are going to roll over a very mediocre Steelers team 38-13. Bye Bye Big Ben. Go away. And we will see you in Canton in about 5-6 years.

The deep ball is becoming extinct in the NFL. The good young QB's you talk about are a bunch of dink and dunkers. Teams play their safeties deep to take away the bomb. I don't thing the Bills gave up one deep pass all season. The only long passes I can think of were the crosser to Pitts for Atlanta who took off past the secondary and had about 50 YAC. And the long screen by Antonio Gibson for the WFT against us way back in week 3 or 4. Noone gets deep on us. And unfortunately we don't get deep on other teams either. Teams just don't play w safety's up in the box much, or blitzing 6 or 7 guys ala the 1985 Bears much anymore leaving the secondary exposed. As a result its one short pass after another. Nice scrambles by QB's like Josh Allen have really replaced the deep bomb. Which is good for us. But not if you loved the deep ball. I remember Roger Carr flying down that dusty dirt field at the old Memorial Stadium in Baltimore catching many a deep pass from Bert Jones in the mid 70's as a kid. That was exciting football. Football is still exciting. Just not a lot of deep balls being completed in today's NFL.

That's pretty short sighted don't you think. The Panthers, Falcons and Jets are all lousy. The passing game is going to have to be a lot better to have a chance to get to the Super Bowl. The Bengals Chiefs and Titans are all good teams. We will need to be at our best in all phases to beat them. Especially the Chiefs and Titans, since we would be playing them on the road.

That's a real harsh statement about a player who has had a stellar career including 2+ great seasons for the Bills. The guy is beat up and obviously heading towards the end of his career. But why the hell would you speak about him that way? Did he personally cause you serious bodily harm? Grow up.

Perfectly said Nextmanup. Young people today can be really timid when dealing with any human to human contact. They can be very intimidated when you are talking with them-one adult to another. Raise your voice even the slightest, and they may go absolutely to pieces. Weird how society has evolved.

Stoppppp being an Edmunds apologist. He is never going to be great or even very good playing NFL LB. He is just not physical enuf, and has no instincts for the position. Watch Fred Warner play LB for the 49ers. That is how a LB should be playing the game of football. I wish Tremaine would get a whole lot better. But the game just does not come natural for him. Just one fan's opinion. But dam I hope we cut bait w him after the season.

The Browns and the Ravens are not winning Super Bowls with Mayfield or Jackson. Neither of them is a good passer. And Mayfield's pocket awareness is terrible. When does he ever make someone miss. Lamar is a lot of hype (because today's media loves a black QB.) He can be exciting running around. And Andrews is a great target. But he has been figured out. Lamar is a modern Mike Vick. He had some good years and was an amazing runner. But the Falcons were never dominant with him. (And I would say that Vick was a better passer then Lamar) To win Super Bowls you still need a gunslinger who can make all the throws with consistency. And it certainly helps to have a dam good O line. Josh Allen was the cream of the 2018 QB draft class. And we are dam sure lucky to have him. Go Bills!!

You should be worried about whomever we play in the playoffs. The AFC is wide open. Everyone who gets in the playoffs can win. No one team is that dominant. Including the Bills. When Josh Allen is playing at his best, we are the best team in the AFC. But like you saw on Sunday against Atlanta, he can miss throws also. But he will also make up for some poor passing w his legs. And not many QB's can do that. Our O line has definitely stepped up the past few weeks. And if they can continue to play solid, our offense should continue to move the ball well against everyone. However, our run D is still not strong enuf. The Colts, Pats and any other team that really wants to run the bill will do so to some degree. The key is to at least be decent in stopping the run. We do that, and it will be difficult to beat us. But don't think for a second we are just going to roll thru the conference to the Super Bowl. We will have to win 3 tough games, as it should be. This is not the Bills of the early 90's who were far better then all their competition in the AFC. We need a good performance against the Jets. And then get serious about the playoffs. Because we could make it all the way to the Bowl. Or we could be bounced in the 1st round. Its been that kind of year. But it should be exciting.

He is still better then a lot of the Hot Garbage masquerading as NFL QB's right now. Have you seen what New Orleans and the Giants have been trotting out on the field lately? Winston, Taysom Hill, Trevor Simien, Ian Book!! Winston doesn't suck, but it falls off a huge cliff after that. And Daniel Jones, Mike Glennon and Jake Fromm. My goodness I would take Big Ben over all of them. The quarterbacking around the league on the whole when you get past the top guys is pretty rough. And a lot of the guys starting in college suck too. Any of you watch the Minnesota v West Virginia bowl game Tuesday nite? Wow, did that set football back about 40-50 years. Tanner Morgan for the Gophers and whoever the scrub was for the Mountaineers were atrocious. (I had a bet on the game. That's why I was so involved w it.)

Summerall and Madden were an amazing pair. I remember the last game they called together. The Super Bowl between the Rams and Pats in January 2002. Great game. And a fitting ending to the legendary duo. John Madden was iconic to the nth degree. Makes me sad that all the younger generation knows about w John Madden is a video game. And they won't know Pete Rozelle and Paul Tagliabue either. They get snowflake Roger. Makes me want to puke. And makes me glad I grew up in the 70's and 80's. Where men were men. Women were women. And football was violent!! Lets all drink a Miller Lite and toast John Madden blasting thru the sign in one of their first commercials. He was just awesome.. God Bless him and his family!!

What is wrong w Feliciano now? Covid or a calf or a concussion? Guy is always hurt. Availability is important. Guy is not great. We should be able to find better in the offseason, especially w him never being healthy. Bates looked good yesterday. That guy may have a future.

The problem is that this roster is not strong enuf in the trenches as it is now built to do that. We need a major overhaul of the O line, and at least one big dominating DT and better edge rushing. And a powerful RB. Without Josh Allen this is easily a below 500 team.

The Jets are trash. Zach Wilson isn't beating us on a cold day in Buffalo. He will be lucky to leave Buffalo in one piece. That being said, they should play hard every week. That's what they are paid to do. We need to put a beatdown on the Patriots this week. We lose this game, we really are not a playoff team, and will have a real difficult winning one playoff game this year. The game plan, the in game coaching, the effort and execution all need to be top notch this week. We do that, we should win by at least 10 points. If we are a Super Bowl contender (debatable) its starts on Sunday.

We were actually able to run the ball some against the Panthers. Our OT's other then Dawkins just suck. Drafting O lineman out of Northern Iowa and Miami of Ohio is absolutely head scratching. And then you have an undrafted free agent in Boettger at LG. These guys are just not very talented. But they just need to avoid the penalties and play smart. Josh will make plays. Pats are going down. Its the type of game we need to come out from the opening kickoff and just lay the wood to them. Like Michigan did to Ohio State this year....Finally.

Its football. Its a violent game. Joe Buck wasn't making fun of him in the slightest. Get a grip.

The Bills O line is trash. One of the worst in the NFL. That has been the biggest problem. We don't have a guard on the roster who should be starting in the NFL. And our tackles have not been much better. With a bad O line, the offense can not get any consistency. Josh has to make up for it with his outrageous athletic ability. He is as good if not better then anyone playing QB in the NFL right now. But with no time to set and scan the field, his game inevitably goes down. The defense has been nothing special against good teams. But does have its moments. The secondary even without Tre is pretty frickin solid. Dane Jackson can play in the NFL. The d line needs to find some pass rushers. Edmonds is the weak link on the defense. Anyone who says otherwise is just not watching the games. He should not be on the roster next season. And McDermott's conservative decision making is not helping things. The punt on 4th and 3 from our 45 in the 3rd quarter was horrible. As for the rest of this season, a good showing against the Panthers on Sunday gets us in the right direction. And we all know what follows next. Time to put a beat down on the Pats. That will be the season right there. If this team is any good, we should go 4-0 to finish the season. If we get in the playoffs, we will be a tough out. Josh can win a lot of games for us, if he gets any help from his O line and the defense. But that run D will really have to tighten up. Beane has constructed an extremely mediocre roster around Josh Allen. Gonna be interesting.

That is tragic news. Loved watching Mark Pike play. Just a tough dude who loved playing the game of football. Even worse that he was only 57. Live your best life everyday. Just never know what lies around the corner. Very sad.

Do you mean Edmunds or Star? Because we can do much better then Edmunds and for a lot cheaper. How about Vernon Butler? He didn't show up last nite either. I forgot he was inactive. Eli Ankou replaced him. Nice move keeping do nothing Vernon and his big contract another year. If we had gotten rid of Hughes Addison and Butler in the offseason, we would have saved approx 19 mill against the cap. I am sure we could have found suitable replacements who were cheaper. But this regime hopefully has learned its lesson. And will take the offseason a little more seriously next year. Because they should only be given one mulligan if that.

We have no running game unless Josh Allen is winding and weaving thru defenses. Our O line can not protect our QB a large amount of the time when he drops back to pass. And our run defense gets mauled by physical offenses. And the coaching has not been top notch. Thank god we got to play the Texans, Dolphins twice when they had not reached their groove yet, the WFT when they were struggling, the Jets, and a seriously depleted Saints team. We seriously could be 4-8 at this point in the season otherwise.

The overall roster is not star studded or even really good save for Allen, Diggs, Tre White, Poyer and Hyde. Gabe Davis has talent and is getting better. And Taron Johnson is a very good nickel. If Ed Oliver continues to get better, he can be a top NFL D Lineman, but that's a maybe. But we are missing solid tough players who can be counted on week in and week out to contribute in good if not spectacular ways. A good team would have beaten the Patriots pretty easily last nite. They threw 3 times for god sakes. Load up the box on defense with a bunch of run stuffers and the Patriots get 3 pts playing that way. We have an amazingly athletic and competitive QB with great physical tools. He still has room to grow with how he reads the field. But the throw down the sideline to Diggs late in the gate was as good as it gets. But then he made a terrible read and missed throwing to a wide open Beasley on 4th and 14 that probably wins the game for us. I think we have a hard time making the playoffs this year. Really need to beat Tampa on Sunday. (We will need to pressure Brady. We sit back and rush 4 and we are done.) But it will be tough. And then beating the Pats in NE will be difficult as well. Heck playing Atl Carolina and Jets to end the year will not be gimmes because this Bills team is just not really good. (see the pathetic performances against Jax and Indy) We will need a bigtime reboot this offseason at O line, RB and D Line. Probably even at WR save Diggs and Davis. Heck the coaching staff may look a lot different as well. If things fall apart, Beane and McDermott need to take off the rose colored glasses and decide how they want this team looking going forward in 2022 and beyond. Because this version has seriously run out of steam. But as long as we have Josh Allen, we will have a chance each season. Interesting how quickly things can sour.
