Love me some Dion because he always makes me laugh.  He strikes me as a 6' 5" 300 lb. nerd sometimes, lol.

I got to party with Bruce, Biscuit, and Thurman at Sunset Bay Beach Club way back when during TC.  Bennet was bumming cigs off me.

Do y’all think it’s beneficial to have Phillips out there with 1 arm?!

LMAO, met Corny a few times.  He was quite the character.  Hard to believe some of these guys smoke cigs even though I bet the number of players that do have decreased since those days.

I think he’s hurt.  That ankle is effd. 

That might explain why he's never open, but did he need a healthy ankle to catch the eight balls he dropped this year?

No

He's probably done

No. Especially if they're running between the tackles.  If he can't wrap up, he's only out there to eat up some blocks...which is scary if the coaching staff thinks he's the best option.

Any discussion about the reffing yet? Felt like we had a distinct advantage in this game, although admittedly they didn't call much either way.

 

There were a few blatant faceguards that I feel would normally be pass interference, particularly the one where Romo said there "needs to be contact"

Didn't he hurt his ankle like in week 4?  If it's still bothering him that much, it's probably going to be something that requires surgery.

What do think about this staff showing different offensive looks featuring a really hot Cook, adding Beas and smoke?

I’ve been hoping that Dorsey has been sandbagging this season, but now I’m just convinced he just doesn’t favor certain things on offense. 

[RunTheBall]

The problem with Davis and his drops/lack of toe drag/unable to make contested catches is not just the drop itself but the opportunity cost. Give those targets to someone else and you are making more positive plays. I’m not ready to bail at all, he’s on a cheap contract next year. Hopefully he has a monster playoff, you go to war with the army you have and he’s been integral all season even though he hasn’t capitalized on the opportunities.

 

For the life of me I can’t understand why Shakir isn’t more involved. He’s out there a lot and Josh never looks his way. He also completely ignores Cook who’s wide open all the time on the outlet. If he just starts taking Cook in the flat a few times a game it will open up everything in the middle. I don’t get it except I guess you have to accept Aggressive Josh if you want to get Super Josh

The call against Elam and the call against motor and Dion were both pretty lame.
 

I think they balanced out though overall.

No wonder the DBs looked like they were asleep out there - Damar was keeping them up texting them at all hours early this AM 😛

There was the blatant PI on the White interception. What else did you see?

I sure hope so because we can't afford an anemic offense against teams like KC and Cincy.

 

If Tua is back next week, we need to be able to put up point too. They played us tough just a couple weeks ago.

Bills got a comfortable win, game was tight until late but the Bills pulled away despite a late turnover. All in all a bit uneven but the team won. A decent effort to go into the Miami playoff game. 2 seed clinched and no playing in KC not the worst outcome to the regular season. 

The first two sentences could apply to most of the games the Bills played after the loss to the Jets. 

[Buffalo Ballin]

Love the win. 13 wins for any NFL team in any season is a big mark to hit. 13 wins means that our team is one of the elites for that particular season. And here we are.

 

Yes, we got the 2nd seed. Oh well. We're damn good.

 

- Gabe Davis isn't a number 2 receiver. I thought he was. But he proved this year that he's not. Maybe he's just an All Pro during the Playoffs. Robert Horry, of NBA fame, is like this. In the regular season, Robert Horry sucks. He coasts. But in the playoffs, he turns it up. Maybe that's what Gabe Davis is.

 

- Our secondary will get lit up in the playoffs. Best we can do is get picks and deflections.

 

- We KNOW how to beat Miami. They already threw their best punch a few weeks ago and we won. We gonna be alright.

 

- We're destined to meet Cincinnati in the playoffs. Maaan that's gonna be an explosive mega battle. I'm happy that this match up takes place in Buffalo (if it happens).

Just looked at playoff ticket prices 

13k for section 240

 

Yikes 

House can you give me a loan

I mean it did feel like we had a player dragged and thrown back into the ball on a punt return which doesn't seem legal.
