Cake wallk of a schedule for the next few weeks yes, but 5 out of the last 6 games are going to be very tough. A lot can happen between now and then, but 10-7 seems to be the ceiling, which means all or all but one playoff game on the road, if they make the playoffs at all.

The experiment is working well. The Bills are now a road playoff team. KC and Miami soon to be the #1-2 seeds. No one cares about justice, they only want to sing Sweet Caroline.

Injury bug has bitten the Bills again. Dorsey just ain’t it. He’s really not. I’ve never seen a more disjointed Bills offense with so much talent. On fire one week. Inexplicably lost the next. 
 

The Chiefs have such a clear shot to the SB with the Bills D injured/inconsistent offense and Burrow is lame. 
 

Poyer and Hyde got old fast and Von looked slow as well. The Bills may have to go through a couple down years here moving forward and reload. 
 

Now give me those sweet sweet eyerolls!

He forgot that you can only post overly optimistic opinions while wearing rose colored glasses with a gigantic jug of Dorsey kool-aide at the ready. 
 

Can you bring us back down to earth and let us all know how the Bills win the SB this year?  
 

Anxiously waiting your non-answear filled with snarky comebacks and little substance.  🙄

If losing Tre White and Matt Milano early in the season are the difference in making a Super Bowl run or not, then Josh Allen isn’t the QB we think he is, and we should clean house of Beane and McDermott.  

Its a lot to deal with in back to back weeks, and who knows if Jones is done.. but exactly zero contending teams lose a linebacker and think they can’t make a run. 
 

The Bills didn't just lose a linebacker. They lost arguably the best linebacker in the game, on top of losing White and potentially Jones for the season. Their CB situation is borderline dire at the moment, as we saw how Elam was picked on. Never say die, but it's hard to overstate the damage done by the injuries to this defense.

If the Niners lose Fred Warner, do you take them out of the running?

 

Beane isn’t going to trade away a bunch of picks to address all these injuries, but at least these injuries happened before the trade deadline.

I’m defeated.😞

If they lose Fred Warner, their top cover CB and top D lineman, then yes.

Saddle up and move on.  The pass rush is elite when 50 56 40 57 and 91 are available.  O line is solid.  17 and 14 are healthy.  Keep on grinding and we will be good. 

IMHO, good enough to beat poor to good teams. Not good enough to advance far in the playoffs vs very good teams. 

 

I guess we will see in a few months.

Really in the dumps right now. I can handle the losses but the catastrophic injuries these past two years really have me down.

Seriously questioning why I still watch and care. Seeing grown men crying and literally dying on the field knowing their season and maybe their careers are over. All so some broadcast network can charge more for a commercial of something I would never purchase. 

The 90's teams had injuries but our core guys never missed huge chunks of time. I have no idea if injuries are more frequent now or more catastrophic. I know surgery and recovery is better than ever. Yet it still feels so hopeless. All the emotional investment we as a community invest only for it to be sprained, torn, or broken in seconds. 

Losing Milano is a gut shot I'm not sure I can get over. 

Offense is intact.

 

They’ve had 2/5 games where they haven’t shown up.

Daquan Jones has been phenomenal, and maybe he has been our best DL, but this line still has Von, Rousseau, Floyd, Epenesa and Oliver.   It’s not like we’re the Raiders and lose Maxx Crosby. 
 

Tre probably is our best cover corner, but Benford was right there with him.. and the Bills can find a corner before the trade deadline if they truly feel they need to upgrade there.  There are guys always made available, ranging from depth to starters to star players at that position that get traded in-season.   
 

Milano is the gut punch, but this isn’t 1995 and a linebacker isn’t the difference between making a run or not.

Exactly.  It's amazing how so many people are downplaying injuries to top players of ours.  Not only that but being this early into the season you have to account for other potential injuries before we get to to the finish line.  I'm not saying the season is completely over but I don't think it's wrong for fans to change expectations based on significant players going out for the season and other players dealing with nagging injuries.  It totally sucks but it is going to make an impact.

Bills spent too many off-season trying to maintain instead of getting appreciably better. 
 

So instead of being the Rams, who actually went all the way, we are going to be the Packers sans Super Bowl. Always in the conversation, but always a bridesmaid.

Are you a troll?

Daquon is awesome, but we will still have Ed, Von, Groot and Floyd on that DL. and AJ...who expected what he has turned into?

Milano and Tre are devastating but this team will still go as far as their offense can take them. We have 2.5 months to tune it up so that it's humming in January, and as gross as this game was, there is nothing fundamentally making me worry that that isn't possible.

Did you have the same feeling last week after the Bills dismantled the Dolphins?  I would think a week won't make that much of a difference

It's does when you lose Milano and Jones.

Let's see how it goes.  We were also missing Groot & Benford today.  When Benford gets back, we don't need to utilize Elam as much, and we're still a solid CB unit.

 

Milano is a huge loss, if it's the worst.  We still don't know.  I'd bet Beane would be looking at a trade if that's the case.

Find a new hobby then... at least nowadays players have enough money, if they are smart, to live the rest of their life with in a nice way.

 

Hopelessness ... emotional investment.. that's all on you. I have loved the Bills since the Kemp days but it's just a watch and see as always.

Everyone's watch and see is different. Everyone's emotional commitment is different. There's no wrong or right answer here. 

 

Just classless to tell a fan to find a new hobby. A little empathy goes a long way

Williams played well in place of Milano. This team is still a team to beat. Today's game was flukey Imo. Bills just flat out sucked today, and the injuries didn't help, but i still think the bills are a top 3 or 4 team 

Williams was bench bro.. yeah, people are going to convince themselves he played well despite being yanked

 

It was a dumb draft pick, something that we have a history of doing on middle round linebackers

Losing tre and milano is really gonna hurt come playoff time. Really hope Beane can make a trade 

Hate to break it to you buddy, but even with those two this team wasn't making a deep playoff run

 I agree. Williams missed a few tackles over pursuing, I think that’s why we seen Dotson. That’s easy to clean up. You never know what you are gonna get in London.

Oh, you didn’t know? If you feel differently than @T&C than your not a real fan. I mean, he is the authority on being a fan. He was probably screaming “Super Bowl here we come” when Orton was QB.
 

Kindly burn all your Bills gear….Thank you.
