NFL teams do not make the playoffs several years in a row, and go 8-4 thus far this year, with a terrible roster.

Buffalo has three of the most memorable games this year and all againts the AFC North. Two crazy comebacks in the 4th quarter and a 250 yard rushing demolish of the Yinz

Okay that's all I needed. I feel better now. Thank you.

This will not be an issue going forward

Teams are taking swipes at the ball and making honest efforts to get the ball out of Cook's hand by any means necessary. I'm not worried.

why not thank both?

Burrow is really good-- even though I don't care for him. He is more patient than Allen and takes what is given him. If the Bills play off, he takes the easy throws. When they get more aggressive, he goes for the jugular and has the weapons to do it. What he can't do-- at least not now-- is make the off-script plays Allen makes. When Josh is patient like Burrow, but then makes those off-script plays too, he is simply the best QB in football.

I record every Bills game that airs..........this gives me the opportunity to walk away when they are playing like **** and come back to it later. Case in point, Cook fumble at the one yard line. I cursed, walked away and paused the game for about an hour. Everyone in my house knows that when i pause a game, just stay out of my way for a couple of minutes and for the sweet love of God, never ask, "how are the Bills doing?" ..........sometimes, i just need a few minutes to process and deflate

4 fumbles (2 lost) in the last 2 games. Someone make me feel better and tell me this will not be an issue going forward. Please.

Or thank you Josh

I believe he gave the ball away to a young fan in the tunnel, so not quite sure he cherished it that much

It's a difficulty, but good GMs find a way to ID those players and get it done. He's had 8 drafts + McDermott in 2017.

It's how bad the losses have looked. Allen has been part of 3 of them

For the Bills to win the East they must win out and the Pats*** must lose two of their other three games. The tiebreakers are not in our favor so we need a better record straight up. It’s doable though…after us they face a desperate Ravens team, followed by Jets and Miami (who might still be in the hunt for a WC). NE has faced essentially no adversity this season, but the pressure level is about to ratchet up to 11 real quick.

Why do you ignore that we're missing 3 out of our 4 top pass-rushers to injury when evaluating the DL's pass-rushing output? When other teams lose as many defensive players to injury as we have, their defenses look like absolute trainwrecks. Ours is still pretty reasonable despite major personnel losses.

Uh, well that attempt never went well in the past....

What's suppose to change? This isn't Vrabel as a first time head coach. They have a solid coaching staffing, cap space, the draft and free agency, plus a QB with a ton of potential to entice other free agency. All of that has to factor into next year too.

To be fair, it's a bit of both, but his hand was tilted by repeated failures with DL for one. McDermott doesn't help with players needing to fit the system instead of the opposite and his conservative defensive approach. I think next year will really be a golden chance. Bring Bosa and Hoecht back, heal the DL. Walker and Sanders year 2, safety and DB solidified and developing, OL solid, TE's great, prime Cook. Beane really just needs to focus on getting that receiver and shoring up LB. Also, Mahomes' run may be slowly winding down and if Kelce comes back he is more a solid option instead of a game changer. For me this year, Mahomes has lost a bit of elite with his ball placement and arm strength but we will see.

Here are your words seems like more than just mentioning news. quite a bit of editorializing. I’m just wondering which part of that news has rocked people? I’m glad they arrested someone. I don’t care if you prefer to be coy with your comments. Just seems weird for a 48 year-old man.

When was the last time the Bills were in a position to draft a real game changer? There aren't too many available when you are consistently picking at the end of round 1. In most years, the players available are really round 2 talent. You might get lucky and get a James Cook, but probably not. Anyone that says that Beane needs to trade up to get a top pick is not dealing in reality. This is the way the NFL designed it.

Then why am I smiling?

It’s not a terrible roster, but without Allen and say a Bo Nix or Justin Herbert, we’re probably a 7 - 8 win team. Elite OL with an elite RB, nice RB2 and (when healthy) a very good TE room. WR’s might be a bottom 5 group in the league. Injuries happen, so I’m not going act like Hoecht in the lynchpin to our Defense. If they can get Oliver back at 80% for the playoffs and get Bosa relatively healthy… Oliver, Walker, Bosa, Rousseau is a solid DL with two decent rotational guys in Jones and Epenesa. Linebackers are decent with Shaq, Milano and Williams.. healthy Bernard if used correctly could help. Benford and Bishop are studs and big time pillars for the Defense. Hairston, White & Poyer are solid. Taron is a weak link.. sad to see. Have to hope he finds something, anything to at least not be a liability out there. Terrible roster? With this OL, Cook and Benford turning into a shutdown/playmaking CB1 on the Defense… I’d say it’s an average roster if they can keep this group healthy to the playoffs… potentially above average if Kincaid and Bosa are healthy and Oliver gets back. WR room currently being an anchor weighing down the team that we’re reminded of week in/week out.

I focus on the negatives, too, but give Beane credit for giving us, in no particular order, Oliver, Bishop, Walker, Hoecht, Bosa, Thompson, Hairston, Kincaid, Hawes, Shakir, Cook, Benford, the entire offensive line, and of course number 17. Most teams would snap these players up in a heartbeat. He's also provided quality role players, filled holes deftly (Prater, Wishnowsky), and, as GunnerBill pointed out, over time built a deep roster, with players like Trubinsky, Knox, Ty Johnson, VDM, Hancock, and the many recycled oldsters on the team. Picking very late in the draft every year (late on the waiver wire doesn't help, either) it's not surprising he's found it hard to find impact players, but he has done an admirable job filling out the roster, overall. The glaring, neon-blinking, jaw-dropping, almost unforgiveable exception of course is wide receiver. That's the big hole on his resume. If he turned out right on either Coleman or Palmer, we would be the Super Bowl favorite, hands down. But he wasn't right. He could not have been more wrong. It's not much of an exaggeration to say he is asking Allen to play with a nice line, quality RBs and TEs--and NO wide receivers at all, aside from Shakir, who is like a little 12-year old asked to support his five younger siblings. Put it this way: The Bills might have the worst set of wide receivers in the league--and still be the best team. That's both a testament to Beane's work as GM and an indictment.

That’s what makes the NFL unique. The standings at any given point have a lot to do with who each team has played and who they still have left. That Chargers schedule is BRUTAL! (The only saving grace might be the final week against a potentially resting Denver team but it’s likely the Broncos will still be playing for the all important #1 Seed.)
