But yet the Bengals don't score points the way you would expect with the skill position players they have. They have highest scoring team in the NFL potential, but they fall well short of that most games. The Bills average more points and yards than the Bengals do.

DVOA is probably a better way to look at it as it standardizes games against opponents to make good performances against bad teams less valuable and good performances against good teams more valuable. Buffalo is significantly better in DVOA than Cincy is. We are #1 at 32.7%, Cincy is #7 at 16.2% sandwiched directly between Baltimore at 6 and Miami at 8. This says they are a good to very good team but not an elite one. Not even the best in their own division. We are better in all facets. Offense we are 3rd, they are 5th. Defense we are 4th, they are 14th, ST we are 7th they are 20th. We should win this game, we are a better team.

Vegas set an NFL record for blowing double digit second half leads this year He runs an offense that is as bad or worse a fit for Wilson than Hackett's was.

Teams also played their base defense much more often which allowed heavy passing teams to get favorable matchups against LBs who were far less athletic for the most part than they are today as they were more run stoppers then. You can go both ways on this, see?

Clearly it wasn't "breaking the travel ban" as they worked closely with local authorities to get them to the airport safely.

Basically there was almost no lead time in 77...it was like people went to work going about their normal day and then the reports of a terrible storm came in...my Mom luckily listened to them and left to get home. She said she made it about 5 minutes before it started getting really bad. Everyone else she worked with made fun of her and laughed at her for leaving but they all ended up stuck at work for a few days so she got the last laugh.

The Bills left Thursday night. They returned Sunday. There was no blizzard either before or after they returned. Can we at least get the facts straight if we need to find something to be outraged about?

Agreed, it's on CNN and other major news networks.

Yes that's true. To put it in perspective in 2014, we had 7 feet of snow and the airport had barely a foot. That's how sharp the cutoff is at times. It's a classic lake snow setup as well that has happened repeatedly in the 15+ years I've lived there. I'm about 8 minutes from the airport.

Nope...the Eastern suburbs Depew/Lancaster east of the airport get hit harder than the airport. They are in a snow belt where the winds will take the bands over Lackawanna, miss downtown and the airport, be a bullseye for Depew/Lancaster and head out to Batavia. Whatever the total at the airport is for a given season, you can tack on about 20-30" usually. When we had 7 feet here in 2014, airport had barely a foot. West Seneca has it worse usually than us tho.

As terrible as that is, not really a fair comparison. It is the height of unfairness for people to be blaming fire/police for not being able to rescue people in conditions that could only be described as impossible. The fact they risked their own lives many times to try should be commended in and of itself.

Now closed until Wed morning at least.

I wore my Tre White jersey again! Undefeated since I started wearing it during his first game back and have worn it every week since!

This needs its own thread as it's a monumental achievement as records go back to 1878 here. With the 6.2" recorded today at the airport thru 10am, Buffalo has set the all-time record for most snowfall in a season thru December with 98.9", breaking the 95.9" previous record set in 2000. Almost a foregone conclusion this will be the first time ever Buffalo records 100+" of snow by the end of December(a given based on the previous record being 95.9"). Still lightly snowing and expecting 3-5" more tonight and 1-3" tomorrow. It's been a hell of a winter already...now Buffalo sets it's eyes on becoming the first city with 100K+ population to ever get 200" in a season in the US. Buffalo also hols that record of 199.2" in the infamous 1976-77 season(blizzard of 77). As a sidenote, 2000 saw the 2nd highest seasonal snowfall ever of 158.7".

And Buffalo has done it!! An additional 6.2" at the airport thru 10am puts us at 49.7" for the storm total and 98.9" for the season, breaking the all time record of 95.9" in 2000 for most snowfall thru December in a season.

We were in the midst of one of the worst storms ever in WNY and it was only fitting to give us some joy during an otherwise bleak holiday season.

Sadly if he could have just been as productive on offense as he was here with EJ Manuel, Thad Lewis and Jeff Tuel leading the way, the Broncos would be challenging the Chiefs for the division. Their D has been that good most games this year...until they basically just quit yesterday. He averaged 21.2 points per game in 2013 that year...Denver would have a LOT of wins with that kind of basic production this year.

Broncos fans rejoice! Long overdue...they gave him more than enough rope and all he did with it was hang himself worse and worse at every turn. Guess he gets a nice buyout. Never sniffs an NFL head coaching job again tho

Benched again as Mike White has been cleared to play this weekend.

This is not the last time... But Buffalo is going to the Super Bowl...

Their starting RT, La'el Collins is done for the year with a torn ACL and MCL...could cause issues for them...their OLine was not a strength to begin with.

KC took a 27-0 lead a few weeks ago and then Mahomes threw 3 INTs and Denver got to within 1 score with KC holding on for dear life at the end to win 34-28. Divisional games are different.

If anyone ever asks what is so special about WNY, just have them read this story. Pretty much perfectly sums up this area and this is the type of stuff that is almost expected to happen during these type of situations. Simply put this, this is WNY in a nutshell.

Great...OT...just what we need...more of this game...

We handed the Bears their worst loss of the year.
